Yankees designated INF Braden Shewmake for assignment.

The Bombers needed to clear a spot on their 40-man roster for the addition of Osvaldo Bido on Thursday and unfortunately Shewmake drew the short straw this time around. The 28-year-old infielder spent the 2025 season at Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre where he slashed .244/.318/.362 with four homers, 29 RBI and a 52/30 K/BB ratio over 315 plate appearances. There’s a decent chance he’ll pass through waivers unclaimed and continue to function as extra infield depth for the Yankees.
