HOT NEWS: Dodgers’ OF Taylor Trammell is claimed off waivers by the Yankees.

Taylor Trammell, an outfielder for the Los Angeles Dodgers, was claimed by the New York Yankees on Thursday off waivers.

Before being designated for assignment on Tuesday, Trammell had only appeared in five major league games during his rookie campaign with the Dodgers, going 0-for-6 with three strikeouts.

The 26-year-old Trammell made his major league debut in 2021 with the Seattle Mariners, where he spent parts of three seasons. After being selected by the Cincinnati Reds in the first round of the 2016 MLB Draft, Trammell has only hit.165 in 121 games for Los Angeles and Seattle (2021–2023), with 15 home runs and 39 RBIs.

The Yankees designated infielder Kevin Smith for assignment in order to create space on the 40-man roster for Trammell. Smith, 27, was signed by New York last winter, although he hasn’t played at the plate in just one game in 2024.
