Yankees promote former Braves postseason hero to bolster bullpen

The New York Yankees are trying to navigate through injuries in the early part of the year. Manager Aaron Boone will be getting a boost, though. New York added former Atlanta Braves reliever Tyler Matzek to help Devin Williams and the Yankees' bullpen.

New York is designating Yoendrys Gómez for assignment to open up a roster spot, according to Max Goodman.

Matzek built a reputation for himself with the Braves during his four years in an Atlanta uniform. Without him, the Braves might not have been able to secure their 2021 World Series championship.
