The New York Yankees are calling up top infield prospect Jorbit Vivas to make his major league debut, per Andy Martino of SNY. Vivas, 23, was traded to the Yankees from the Los Angeles Dodgers this past offseason. Vivas was sent with left-handed pitcher Victor Gonzalez for shortstop prospect Trey Sweeney.
Vivas has had a great season in Triple-A, slashing .258/.404/.424 with five home runs and 19 RBIs in 37 games. He’ll now get his first opportunity at the big league level with infielder J.D. Davis going on the injured list.
Vivas signed with the Dodgers as an international free agent out of Venezuela in 2017.
