The New York Yankees are at it again, this time they brought
back Nick Rumbelow. The team designated Rumbelow for assignment earlier this
winter as the right-hander will miss most of, if not all of, the 2017 regular
season as he rehabs from Tommy John surgery but the team has brought him back
on a new minor league deal according to Robert Pimpsner and our friends over at
Pinstriped Prospects.
Rumbelow, just 25-years old, was originally drafted by the
New York Yankees in the seventh round of the 2013 MLB First Year Players Draft
out of LSU. By the 2015 season Rumbelow had already reached the Major Leagues
appearing in 17 games down the stretch before hurting his arm just one game
into the 2016 season.
Rumbelow had Tommy John surgery this season after going on
the disabled list on April 11th so a late August or September call
up is not completely out of the realm of possibilities but it is very likely
that he misses the entire regular season just to be sure he’s healthy and
ready. Either way, welcome home.
