The Yankees optioned Beck to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Saturday.
Beck was called up earlier Saturday to make a start against Minnesota in place of Carlos Rodon (elbow), who landed on the 15-day injured list Friday. Beck was the pitcher of record in the Yankees' 11-4 loss, allowing five runs on five hits (including three home runs) and two walks while striking out three batters over 3.2 innings. The Yankees will need to add a new starter to the mix when the fifth spot in the rotation comes up again Thursday at Tampa Bay.

Yankees' Brendan Beck: Recalled ahead of start
Rotowire
The Yankees recalled Beck from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre ahead of his start Saturday against the Twins at Yankee Stadium.
Beck, 27, has a 1.24 ERA, 0.83 WHIP and 31:10 K:BB in 29 innings over his last five starts at Triple-A. He has a chance to stick in the rotation for another start before the All-Star break due to the absence of Carlos Rodon (elbow), who landed on the injured list Friday.

Yankees' Brendan Beck: First MLB start on tap
Rotowire
The Yankees will recall Beck from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre to start Saturday's game against the Twins, Chris Kirschner of The Athletic reports.
Beck made his MLB debut out of the bullpen earlier this season, giving up two earned runs on two hits and three walks across three innings against the Rangers on May 7. Since then, he's posted a 1.59 ERA and 0.94 WHIP with a 54:20 K:BB over 51 innings at Triple-A, so he'll get another chance to showcase his talents for the big club and fill the rotation spot vacated by Carlos Rodon (elbow), who was moved to the 15-day injured list.

Yankees' Brendan Beck: Ineffective in long relief
Rotowire
Beck didn't factor into the decision Thursday against the Rangers, allowing two runs on two hits and three walks in three innings. He struck out one.
The 27-year-old right-hander made his major-league debut, serving as New York's bulk reliever behind opener Paul Blackburn on Thursday. Beck wasn't all that effective, however, recording just three whiffs and tossing only 28 of his 52 pitches for strikes. Ryan Weathers was scratched from his scheduled start Thursday due to an illness, so Beck may have been making just a spot appearance for the Yankees and could soon rejoin Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre.

Yankees' Brendan Beck: Optioned to SWB
Rotowire
The Yankees optioned Beck to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre following Thursday's win over the Rangers.
Beck made his MLB debut Thursday, giving up two earned runs on two hits and three walks while striking out one batter over three innings in bulk relief. With Carlos Rodon (elbow) and Ryan Weathers (illness) both set to return within the next few days, the Yankees don't have any more gaps in the rotation to fill, so Beck will return to Triple-A and continue working as organizational depth.

Yankees' Brendan Beck: Contract selected
Rotowire
The Yankees selected Beck's contract from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Thursday.
Beck has made seven starts with Scranton/Wilkes-Barre this season, collecting a 5.11 ERA and 37:8 K:BB over 37 innings. The 27-year-old has been used as a starting pitcher almost exclusively throughout the minors, but he will be broken in as a long reliever at the major-league level.

Yankees' Brendan Beck: Making full-season debut at High-A
Rotowire
Single-A Tampa reinstated Beck (elbow) from its 60-day injured list Wednesday and assigned him to High-A Hudson Valley.
After completing his recovery from September 2021 Tommy John surgery, Beck made his professional debut last week in the rookie-level Florida Complex League, striking out five over three perfect innings. The Yankees determined that Beck wouldn't require any further rehab outings in the FCL, and he'll now bypass the Single-A level entirely to make his full-season debut in the South Atlantic League.

Yankees' Brendan Beck: Makes pro debut in FCL
Rotowire
Beck (elbow) began a rehab assignment Monday with the Yankees' rookie-level Florida Complex League affiliate, striking out five over three perfect innings.
The rehab appearance marked the professional debut of Beck, a 2021 second-round draft pick who underwent Tommy John surgery in September of that year. Beck's first outing went about as well as possible, as he struck out each of the first five batters he faced. The 24-year-old right-hander still resides on Single-A Tampa's 60-day injured list and may make another start or two in the FCL before making his debut in the Florida State League.

Yankees' Brendan Beck: Recovering from Tommy John surgery
Rotowire
Beck is recovering well from Tommy John surgery, a procedure he underwent last summer, Kiley McDaniel of ESPN.com reports.
Beck was selected out of Stanford with the 55th overall pick in July. The surgery explains why he never pitched in a competitive game after joining the Yankees' organization. It's unclear precisely when the procedure took place, but there's a strong chance he misses all of the 2022 season unless he makes a particularly quick recovery.
