He\u2019ll be making his major league debut if they can get him into a game. He takes the roster spot of outfielder\u00a0<strong>Trent Grisham<\/strong>, who has been placed on the paternity list.<\/p>\n<p>Vivas, 24, has actually been up with the big league club before. In July of last year, he was recalled when infielder\u00a0<strong>J.D. Davis<\/strong>\u00a0landed on the 10-day injured list. However, he was optioned back down to the minors three days later without getting into a game, so he\u2019s still looking for that MLB debut. Hopefully, he can find his way in this time, as it would be a bit heartbreaking for him to twice get called up and not get any big league action either time.<\/p>\n<p>The Dodgers added him to their 40-man roster back in November of 2021, to keep him out of that year\u2019s Rule 5 draft. He was\u00a0flipped to the Yankees\u00a0in December of 2023 alongside left-hander\u00a0<strong>Victor Gonz\u00e1lez<\/strong>, with infielder\u00a0<strong>Trey Sweeney<\/strong>\u00a0going to the Dodgers. Sweeney would later be\u00a0sent to the Tigers\u00a0as part of the\u00a0<strong>Jack Flaherty<\/strong>\u00a0deal, along with\u00a0<strong>Thayron Liranzo<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>Vivas is in his final option year and has a huge .342\/.432\/.493 line through 20 Triple-A games. That\u2019s obviously a small sample but would be a nice breakthrough if he could sustain even some of that. He hit all through the lower levels of the minors but then had a line of just .225\/.339\/.294 in 26 Triple-A games in the Dodgers\u2019 system in 2023. With the Yanks last year, he got into 93 more games at the top minor league level and slashed .225\/.347\/.366 for a 93 wRC+.<\/p>\n<p>The young infielder is capable of playing second or third base, with tiny amounts of experience at shortstop and left field as well. He also stole 46 bases over 2023-2024 and has four more already this year. That defensive versatility and speed could make him a nice utility player, especially if the bat is coming around. Paternity lists stints are for one to three games, so Grisham should be back with the club in short order.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Jonathan Dyer-Imagn Images The Yankees announced that they have recalled infielder\u00a0Jorbit Vivas.
