New York, NY, August 13, 2026 —
The New York Yankees have announced the promotion of pitcher Bradley Hanner from their Triple-A affiliate, the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders. The move signals the team’s intention to integrate Hanner into their major league bullpen.
This promotion is part of a larger, ongoing trend for the Yankees, who have frequently found success by developing and promoting effective relief pitchers from their Triple-A roster. The organization has a history of identifying talent within its farm system and integrating it into the major league club, particularly in the relief corps.
Hanner’s performance with Scranton/Wilkes-Barre has evidently been strong enough to warrant a call-up to the Bronx. Specific details regarding Hanner’s statistics or the exact timeline of his recent performance were not provided in the summary. The hope within the Yankees organization is that Hanner will be able to translate his minor league success to the major league level and provide valuable innings out of the bullpen.
The organization has not detailed the specific role Hanner is expected to fill within the bullpen, nor has it provided a timeline for his potential debut or consistent usage. The focus remains on his addition to the team as a developing arm with the potential to contribute.
