Yankees’ left-handed pitcher Anthony Misiewicz, who was recently designated for assignment, went unclaimed on waivers and has now been reassigned to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre, as announced by the team. Misiewicz was removed from the Yankees’ roster to make room for utility player Jon Berti, who was reinstated from the injured list. Misiewicz has the option to decline the reassignment and opt for free agency if he chooses. Even if he accepts the reassignment, he could still become a minor league free agent at the end of the season, due to his three years of service time.
The 29-year-old pitcher had a brief stint with the Yankees this season, making only one appearance on June 19, during which he pitched a single inning without giving up any runs, although he did allow two hits and a walk. For the remainder of the season, he has been playing for Scranton/Wilkes-Barre, where he has accumulated 54 innings with a 3.33 ERA, demonstrating a solid 29.9% strikeout rate and a 6.7% walk rate. Over his career, Misiewicz has played with five different teams over parts of five MLB seasons, holding a cumulative 4.67 ERA, a 22.8% strikeout rate, and a 7.6% walk rate.
While Misiewicz’s performance in the upper minors has not been exceptional in terms of run prevention, his ERA in Triple-A stands at a respectable 4.47 across 209 1/3 innings. His effectiveness is more noticeable in his strikeout and walk statistics, with a strikeout rate exceeding 25% of his opponents.
