OAKLAND, Calif. — Trevor Rosenthal has had a miserable season pitching for the Nationals and Tigers, but that doesn’t mean the right-handed reliever has no chance of reaching the big leagues with the Yankees when rosters expand Sept. 1.
The 29-year-old Rosenthal signed a minor league contract with the Yankees on Tuesday.
The Yankees already have summoned Brady Lail, Joe Mantiply, Chance Adams and Adonis Rosa from the minors this season to face major league batters. Daniel Camarena and Ryan Dull also were brought up for insurance and quickly returned without throwing a pitch.
