The New York Yankees and veteran reliever Tyler Matzek have agreed on a minor-league deal with an invitation to spring training, sources told ESPN Monday night, adding another experienced left-hander to the bullpen mix on the eve of camp after the team officially re-signed Tim Hill over the weekend.
A top-shelf reliever over three seasons for the Atlanta Braves, including during their 2021 World Series run, injuries have limited the 34-year-old Matzek to 11 appearances over the last two years.
The former first-round pick missed the entire 2023 campaign after undergoing Tommy John surgery in October 2022.
