The Yankees are reuniting with left-hander Ryan Yarbrough, signing him to a one-year contract, per multiple reports.
The deal, which is pending a physical, is worth $2.5 million, per Buster Olney of ESPN.

Yarbrough had a 4.36 ERA and 1.20 WHIP while striking out 55 batters in 64.0 innings for New York this past season as he was used in both the rotation and bullpen — the 33-year-old made eight starts and 11 relief appearances.
In eight big league seasons, Yarbrough — who has also pitched for the Rays, Royals, Dodgers, and Blue Jays — has a 4.22 ERA (4.30 FIP) and 1.18 WHIP in 832 innings.
With Devin Williams and Luke Weaver among New York’s relievers who recently hit free agency, the bullpen could look significantly different in 2026.
David Bednar is penciled in as the closer, while Camilo Doval should again be a late-inning option.
Tim Hill, who re-signed earlier this offseason, will also figure in.
