The New York Yankees are setting the standard in the American League yet again this season. While their lineup is among the most explosive in the MLB, the starting rotation is laying the foundation for their success. On the other hand, the Yankees’ bullpen has been quite disappointing and inconsistent thus far.
As per Joel Sherman of The New York Post, the New York Yankees’ front office is pondering a move to promote pitching prospect Carlos Lagrange from the minor leagues. Lagrange is enjoying a solid spell in Triple-A at the moment. The Yankees’ chairman, Brian Cashman, wants to see how the 6’7″ pitcher fares out of the bullpen in the major leagues.
“Brian Cashman and the Yankees have had ongoing discussions on when to move Carlos Lagrange to the bullpen to see what he could do for the big league club in 2026, according to Joel Sherman,” the Fireside Yankees reported.

Lagrange is ranked as the No. 4 prospect in the Yankees’ farm system by MLB Pipeline, and 76th overall. He moved up from High-A to Double-A last year before starting the 2026 campaign in Triple-A.
Yankees Prospect Delivers Excellent Outing On Thursday
On Thursday, Carlos Lagrange posted his deepest outing for the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre in the 1-0 loss to the Worcester Red Sox. After starting with a two-out solo home run, the New York Yankees prospect finished with 5.2 innings, allowing just three hits and a walk.
Lagrange touched 99.8 mph on the radar gun with his fastball velocity during his outing. He has a 4.11 ERA over 49.1 innings, but opponents are batting just .219 against him.
