Overview
- Lagrange was sent to minor-league camp and will not be on the Yankees’ Opening Day roster.
- Manager Aaron Boone said the choice was difficult and that Lagrange could impact the club early, mid, or late in the season.
- The right-hander posted a sub-1.00 ERA over limited spring innings and showcased triple-digit heat, including a 102.6 mph strikeout of Aaron Judge in live BP.
- He is ranked No. 79 overall by MLB Pipeline and entered camp as one of New York’s top pitching prospects at age 22.
- The Yankees aim to polish his control and delivery in the minors, likely at Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre, with a possible midyear call-up as a starter or a late-season bullpen role.
