The Yankees need depth because of Stanton's injury and the other players who are unavailable while on the COVID-19 injured list. He signed a minor league deal with the Texas Rangers in March and accepted an assignment with their Triple-A affiliate at the end of spring training. His .897 OPS in 2018 marked a career best. New York placed Josh Donaldson, Joey Gallo and Kyle Higashioka on the COVID-19 injured list earlier this week. Carpenter's bat began to decline in 2019 as injuries took their toll. In 21 games with the Round Rock Express, Carpenter hit .275/.379/.613 with six homers and 19 RBI. He was released by the Rangers on May 19 in a mutual decision caused by a lack of opportunity with the MLB team.

Carpenter's tenure in St. Louis is over. Carpenter's tenure in St. Louis is over. His impact on the city, and the city's impact on him though, is forever.

It kind of led to what happened here, and I’m really excited about this opportunity.” In 2021, Carpenter batted .169 with three home runs and 21 RBIs in 130 games while appearing at second base, first base and third base. “Obviously it’s Triple-A pitching, but with what I was able to feel and the things I was able to have click for me, I was really encouraged by it. Over parts of 11 Major League seasons, all with the Cardinals (2011-21), Carpenter has batted .262 with 155 home runs and 576 RBIs in 1,329 games. “He’s someone who’s been on our radar the last couple of months when he was with the Rangers and had that opt-out. I’m just fired up to be here, whatever that role looks like.”

Bañuelos made seven appearances with Atlanta as a rookie, then didn’t pitch in MLB again until a 16-game stint with the 2019 White Sox. Over seven appearances (five starts) for the RailRiders, Bañuelos has a 2.35 ERA through 30 2/3 innings. The Yankees had two vacancies on their 40-man roster, so no additional move was necessary at the moment. He earned a Silver Slugger award in 2013 and twice finished in the top ten of NL MVP balloting. St. Louis bought Carpenter out at the end of last season, and he was limited to minor league offers over the winter. Unfortunately, he experienced some injury trouble on his way up the minor league ladder, and the Yankees dealt him to the Braves in advance of the 2015 season. As for Bañuelos, he’s back in the big leagues for the first time since 2019. The Yankees have Anthony Rizzo at first base, but right-handed hitters Gleyber Torres, DJ LeMahieu and Josh Donaldson seeing action at the other positions. He figures to see some time at all three spots in the Bronx, offering manager Aaron Boone a left-handed bat off the bench. He’s fanned in 27.9% of his plate appearances, posted a below-average .143 ISO (slugging minus batting average) and hit only .270 on balls in play. The veteran infielder had been granted his release from a minor league deal with the Rangers a week ago. Carpenter is a client of SSG Baseball.

The New York Yankees have signed Matt Carpenter out of absolutely nowhere to join the big-league club. He'll wear No. 24 and attempt to redeem himself.

Now, at the back end of his career, he’ll get one last chance to fill a big-league role with a Yankees team desperate for lineup help. The Yankees have a super-thin bench as is without Josh Donaldson, with Marwin Gonzalez and Miguel Andújar assuming recent everyday duty. Carpenter can help float around the infield, and it’s possible the team just didn’t like their existing options after the injury hand they were dealt. Carpenter has always seemed like a gamer and de facto leader of some great Cardinals teams. No battle for at-bats. Hardware? Not quite, but three top-15 MVP finishes including two in the top 10.

The Yankees signed free agent infielder Matt Carpenter on Thursday, then plugged him into their lineup for Thursday night's game at Tampa Bay.

“He’s a guy that has really good at bats and he’s got some pop,” LeMahieu said. The native Texan made adjustments in the offseason that paid off early this season while he was in Triple-A. He was doing really well in AAA when he did opt out and we’ve kind of been eyeing him for a while as a potential left-handed bat off the bench, a pinch-hit kind of thing. “I’m excited to put a Yankee uniform on and be a part of the best team in baseball right now. He signed a post-lockout, minor-league deal with Texas on March 20, but didn’t make the Rangers’ Opening Day roster and wound up playing first base for Triple-A Round Rock. While being led to his locker in the visiting clubhouse at Tropicana Field, Carpenter was greeted by his new manager.

New Yankee Matt Carpenter reached base twice and scored a pair of runs in the 7-2 win over the Ray at Tropicana Field.

“I was able to put in a lot of good work in the offseason and see it translate. The guys I texted in St. Louis that I know spoke very highly of him.” Aaron Boone, who called Carpenter a “catalyst” in Thursday’s win, said the former Cardinal could also see time at first base and third base. “To get here and be in the lineup right away — I don’t think I landed until 3:20, so it happened fast, but it was a lot of fun. It was good to be a part of, pretty cool.” “It was pretty crazy,” said Carpenter, who saw 25 pitches in four plate appearances, getting hit by a pitch and drawing a walk.
