Looks like the Yankees have their designated September pinch-runner. The Yankees have signed speedy outfielder Quintin Berry to a minor league contract and assigned him to Triple-A Scranton, the team announced. The Brewers released him four days ago and he is not on the 40-man roster.
Berry, 33, spent most of the season in Triple-A with the Brewers, where he hit .214/.290/.321 (32 wRC+) in 42 games and 93 plate appearances. He did steal ten bases in eleven attempts though. Berry is a career .262/.333/.364 (93 wRC+) hitter at the big league level in 345 plate appearances. He’s 29-for-31 in stolen base attempts and started his MLB career with 25 straight successful steal attempts.
