Barraclough signed with the Yankees as a non-roster invitee Tuesday, Jon Morosi of MLB Network reports.
Barraclough has been a high-leverage reliever in the past, posting a 2.87 ERA and a 31.7 percent strikeout rate over the first two years of his career. He struggled to a 4.74 ERA and 24.4 percent strikeout rate over the next two seasons, however, and he failed to pitch a single inning in 2020 after being cut in July by the Padres. He could play a role for the Yankees if they can help him recapture his early career form, but his career 14.1 percent walk rate will likely continue to sink him unless he can get his previously elite strikeout numbers back.
