Lyons re-signed Wednesday with the Yankees on a minor-league contract.

EDGE Analysis

Lyons' deal is expected to include an invitation to big-league spring training, but the 32-year-old lefty will likely be bound for Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre to open the 2021 campaign. During the 60-game 2020 campaign, Lyons made one appearance out of the New York bullpen, giving up four earned runs over 1.2 innings.

Lyons was outrighted to the Yankees' alternate training site Friday.

EDGE Analysis

Lyons' only big-league outing of the year was a disaster, as he allowed four runs in just 1.2 innings of work against Toronto on Wednesday. Miguel Yajure was recalled in a corresponding move.

Lyons' contract was selected by the Yankees on Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Lyons has spent the entire season at the alternate training site, but he'll join the active roster for the first time in 2020 after right-hander Michael King was optioned to the alternate training site. It's unclear whether he'll remain with the team during a potential postseason run. The southpaw is likely to take on a low-leverage bullpen role.

Lyons was reassigned to the Yankees' alternate training site Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Lyons had a shot at making the team's Opening Day roster while competing in spring training and summer camp, but he'll begin the season at alternate camp instead. The southpaw recorded a 6.39 ERA and 17:5 K:BB over 12.2 innings with the Pirates and Yankees last season.

Lyons has been named to the Yankees' 60-man player pool.

EDGE Analysis

Lyons was competing for a bullpen spot prior to the suspension of spring training, and he'll resume that battle when summer camp gets underway. The southpaw impressed in Grapefruit League play, racking up seven strikeouts in 4.1 scoreless innings.

Lyons would be an option for the Yankees' bullpen if MLB expands rosters at the start of the season, Brendan Kuty of NJ Advance Media reports.

EDGE Analysis

Lyons signed a minor-league deal with the Yankees in January and was not expected to break camp with the club. However, the southpaw pitched well this spring, hurling 4.1 scoreless innings and racking up seven strikeouts. That performance, along with Lyons' experience and left-handedness, could tilt the scales in his favor should MLB opt to expand rosters as is widely expected.

Lyons agreed to a minor-league contract with the Yankees earlier this month, Chris Hilburn-Trenkle of Baseball America reports.

EDGE Analysis

Lyons will return to the Yankees organization after being outrighted off the 40-man roster in November, with his deal likely including an invite to big-league spring training. The lefty reliever saw action in 14 MLB games between the Pirates and Yankees in 2019, giving up nine earned runs on 13 hits and five walks while striking out 17 in 12.2 innings.

Lyons elected free agency Monday rather than accept an outright assignment to Triple-A Scranton-Wilkes/Barre.

EDGE Analysis

The 31-year-old threw 12.2 major-league innings last season, first with the Pirates and then with the Yankees after joining the latter team on a minor-league deal in mid-August. He finished with a 6.39 ERA, though he did at least strike out 31.5 percent of opposing batters.

Lyons has made the Yankees' ALDS roster.

EDGE Analysis

Lyons threw 8.2 innings for the Yankees in September, posting a modest 4.15 ERA but also a strong 12:2 K:BB. He could be called on to shut down the Twins' lefty hitters.

Lyons signed a major-league contract and had his contract selected by the Yankees on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

Lyons previously had a minor-league contract with the Pirates before latching on with the Yankees on another minor-league deal in mid-August. He's worked effectively in Triple-A this season, racking up a 3.22 ERA and 1.15 WHIP with 60 strikeouts across 50.1 innings. He figures to serve as bullpen depth for the big-league club to close out the season.
