Brendan Beck tagged for three homers in defeat

Brendan Beck

NYY Starting Pitcher #75

Player Stats

Brendan Beck lasted 3 2/3 innings and gave up five runs Saturday in a loss to the Twins.

Beck generated 17 whiffs on 42 swings and 87 pitches today, which is really good. However, they turned into just three strikeouts. Three is also the number of homers he allowed. Luke Keaschall’s was Yankee Stadium-aided on a hitter friendly day, but the homers from Kody Clemens in the first and Alex Jackson in the second needed no such assistance. Beck will probably return to Triple-A now. The Yankees will need a fifth starter again Thursday, but they’d probably rather have a fresh arm available Sunday than wait to use Beck again. Perhaps Elmer Rodriguez can come back up for Thursday’s start.

Yankees optioned RHP Brendan Beck to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre.

Beck gets the demotion after struggling Saturday against the Twins; allowing five runs over 3 2/3 innings in a loss. The Yankees will make a corresponding transaction to help the bullpen before Sunday’s contest against Minnesota.

Yankees recalled RHP Brendan Beck from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre.

Beck gets the nod to replace an injured Carlos Rodón (elbow) in New York’s rotation. The 27-year-old allowed two runs over three innings during a bulk relief outing against the Rangers in his major-league debut back on May 7. He’s posted an encouraging 3.07 ERA across 88 innings at the Triple-A level this season. He’s not a recommended option for fantasy purposes.

NYY Starting Pitcher #75

Yankees’ manager Aaron Boone confirmed Brendan Beck will be recalled from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre to start on Saturday against the Twins.

The 27-year-old hurler will take the place of the injured Carlos Rodon in the Yankees’ rotation for the time being. Beck sports a 3.07 ERA, 1.02 WHIP and a 91/28 K/BB ratio over 88 innings in 16 starts at Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on the season. He could be worth a look as a streaming option in deeper mixed leagues on Saturday.

NYY Starting Pitcher #75

Making his MLB debut, Brendan Beck allowed two runs over three innings as a bulk guy Thursday against the Rangers.

Beck walked three and gave up a homer to Ezequiel Duran in the 52-pitch outing. He’ll likely head back down in exchange for a fresh arm prior to Friday’s contest.

NYY Starting Pitcher #75

Yankees selected the contract of RHP Brendan Beck from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre.

Beck has been used as a starting pitcher in Triple-A, but he will likely serve as a bulk reliever with the Yankees. The 27-year-old has a low 90s fastball and has posted a 5.11 ERA, 1.14 WHIP, and 37/8 K/BB ratio in 37 innings. If he gets into a game, it will be his MLB debut.
Brendan Beck

NYY Starting Pitcher #75

Brendan Beck tossed five scoreless innings and struck out nine for Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Friday.

Beck’s 89-93 mph fastball keeps him from showing up high on prospects lists, but it didn’t stop him from generating 18 whiffs last night, including nine on the 22 sliders he threw. Beck had a 3.36 ERA and a 123/36 K/BB in 131 1/3 innings between Double- and Triple-A last season. It doesn’t seem likely that the Yankees will need him as a starter this year, but with his command, he’d probably hold his own if given the chance.
Ben Hess

NYY Starting Pitcher

Yankees reassigned RHP Ben Hess and RHP Brendan Beck to minor league camp.

Hess carried a 1.80 ERA in five innings of Spring Training ball, striking out six. He’ll likely return to Double-A, where he posted a 0.95 WHIP and 2.70 ERA in seven starts in 2025, to start the 2026 campaign.
Brendan Beck

NYY Starting Pitcher #75

Yankees prospect right-hander Brendan Beck underwent Tommy John surgery last summer.

Beck was the Yankees’ second-round pick from last year. According to Kiley McDaniel of ESPN, the 23-year-old was injured while ramping up his throwing with Low-A Tampa after logging 108 2/3 innings at the collegiate level for Stanford. He’s going to be in rehab-mode this year, but should be a full-go for the 2023 campaign.

Luis Campusano went 2-for-3 with a homer, a walk and two runs scored Wednesday in the Padres’ 10-4 drubbing of the Diamondbacks.

Campusano is 5-for-11 with three walks since coming off the IL on Friday. He’ll stay plenty busy behind the plate for the Padres while Freddy Fermin is out, but he also might deserve some DH time once Fermin returns; he’s batting .317/.403/.619 with four homers in 72 plate appearances on the season.

Michael King turned in six innings of one-run ball to defeat the Diamondbacks on Wednesday.

King allowed four hits, walked two and struck out four. After a rough spell in late May and the first half of June, he ends the first half having gone 2-1 with a 2.31 ERA in his final four outings prior to the break. Overall, he’s 6-7 with a 3.41 ERA. He’ll probably start the Padres’ first game out of the break next Friday against the Royals.

Jose Cabrera gave up four runs in 4 1/3 innings Wednesday in a loss to the Padres.

Since throwing five scoreless innings in his major league debut against the Twins last month, Cabrera has given up 11 runs and walked nine in 12 2/3 innings over three starts. It seems likely that he’ll head back to Triple-A now, as the D-backs could have Michael Soroka ready to go after the break.

Miguel Andujar doubled three times and knocked in two runs versus the Diamondbacks on Wednesday.

The three doubles came after a 390-foot flyout his first time up. It would have been a homer in 14 ballparks, according to Statcast. It’s the first time in his career that Andujar has doubled three times in a game. In 2018, when he finished second in the AL with 47 doubles, he had two on eight occasions but never three. Andujar is batting .266/.303/.428 in 234 plate appearances this season. He played fairly regularly in April and May, but the start tonight was just his second in eight games. He might have earned himself another opportunity Thursday against Merrill Kelly.

Roki Sasaki pitched six innings and allowed three runs Wednesday in a no-decision against the Rockies.

Sasaki surrendered solo homers to Kyle Karros and Edouard Julien in the second and then another run on a walk, a wild pitch, a groundout and a sac fly in the third. That turned out to be the only walk he issued, and he allowed only two hits besides the homers. He struck out five. Considering that he came in with a 10.06 ERA and a 15/11 K/BB in his previous four starts, this is a decent way to end the half. He might eventually get pushed out of the Dodgers rotation if everybody gets healthy at once, but that hardly ever seems to happen.

Making his first big-league start, Gabriel Hughes surrendered three runs in six innings Wednesday versus the Dodgers.

Hughes gave up three runs in the first, but that was it. Helping the cause was that Alex Call foolishly used up both of the Dodgers’ challenges on back-to-back pitches in the second. Hughes ended up striking out seven and walking two. He’ll have a case for staying in Colorado’s rotation after the break.

Kyle Karros homered and doubled Wednesday in a loss to the Dodgers.

With his dad awkwardly weighing in from the Dodgers broadcast booth, Karros went 3-for-11 with eight total bases and three walks the last three days. He’s escaped the bottom third of the Rockies order in recent days, and his OPS cracked .800 tonight for the first time all season. He’s still probably not going to offer much value in shallow leagues in the second half, but his stock as a potential long-term third baseman for the Rockies has increased with his performance to date.

Jo Adell went 2-for-4 with two home runs, five RBI, and three runs scored in a 13-1 blowout win over the Rangers on Wednesday.

Adell and the Angels took it to the Rangers in this one. He homered in consecutive at-bats off starter MacKenzie Gore to help break this game open. Before Adell’s first tank, this game was 1-0. After his second – a 433 foot, 110 mph, three-run shot – it was 7-0 and the rout was on. These were his first home runs in nearly two weeks as he tries to get his season on track.
