The Yankees made two moves to potentially bolster their pitching on Thursday, claiming right-handers Roansy Contreras from the Baltimore Orioles and Allan Winans from the Atlanta Braves.
Both players add flexibility to New York's pitching staff and have a chance to be interesting options in the rotation and/or bullpen.
Contreras, 25, split time between the Pittsburgh Pirates and Los Angeles Angels last season and owned a 4.35 ERA (1.38 WHIP) over 49 games (three starts) across 68.1 innings pitched. He also added two saves in four opportunities, all for Los Angeles, and finished 14 games for the Halos.
