Yankees Option Catcher J.C. Escarra to Triple-A

Following a 5-3 loss to the Boston Red Sox, the New York Yankees have officially optioned catcher J.C. Escarra to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre. The move comes as the organization looks to address catching depth issues following Escarra's recent struggles at the plate. The team is set to recall right-handed catcher Ali Sánchez to the major league roster on Saturday to fill the vacancy. Escarra's demotion is part of a broader shake-up of the team's struggling catching corps.
