Brendan Beck Optioned to Minors Following MLB Debut

After making his long-awaited MLB debut against the Texas Rangers on Thursday, rookie right-hander Brendan Beck has been optioned to the minor leagues by the New York Yankees. The 2021 second-round pick, who has battled through multiple injury setbacks to reach the majors, described his debut as a "dream" experience. The Yankees moved Beck to the minors to open a roster spot for reliever Kervin Castro as the team continues to shuffle its active roster.
