Yankees Claim Matt Gage Off Waivers
1 year agoThe New York Yankees have claimed reliever Matt Gage off waivers from the Houston Astros. Gage had been designated for assignment by Houston after Josh Haders' historic five-year contract became official. The left-handed Gage debuted with 1.38 ERA ball across 13 innings with the Blue Jays in 2022 before appearing in just five games for the Astros in 2023, working to a solid 2.70 ERA in 6 2/3 innings of work. Add it up and Gage owns a 1.83 ERA across 16 MLB appearances, although his 3.74 SIERA in that time is nearly two runs higher than his surface ERA. For what it's worth, he posted a vastly inferior 4.58 ERA and 5.29 FIP across 34 appearances at Triple-A Sugar Land in 2023, as well.
