Veteran reliever Geoff Hartlieb got his season debut with the Yankees on July 1 and surrendered three runs to the Blue Jays in just one inning, piling onto what was already a no good, very bad day for New York. Max Fried had given up four runs in six innings, Mark Leiter Jr. gave up two, and Luke Weaver gave up another three before the Yankees called on Hartlieb.
He was understandably DFA'd the next day, but went unclaimed on waivers and was returned to the Yankees organization. They called him back up and gave him the ball again on July 8 against the Mariners, when he ended up giving up the only three runs that Seattle managed to score, including Cal Raleigh's 36th homer of the season.
