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: 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: 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: 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.
