by The Yankees secured the services of Downs through a waiver claim from the Nationals on Tuesday.
Downs found himself designated for assignment a week earlier, marking his transition to a new team for the third time within the past year. Once regarded as a top-100 prospect, the 25-year-old infielder joined the Red Sox as part of the Mookie Betts trade. However, his performance at the Triple-A level has been less than stellar, with Downs posting a batting line of .202/.306/.370.
Jeter Deion Downs — his mother chose the name “Jeter” in honor of Hall of Fame New York Yankees shortstop Derek Jeter.
Earlier today, the Yankees claimed INF Jeter Downs off waivers from the Washington Nationals.
