Caleb Durbin - MLB News, Rumors, & Updates | FOX Sports

Shines in spring game Durbin went 2-for-4 with a home run, two runs and a stolen base in Monday's spring game.

Impact Durbin led off Monday's contest and socked his second long ball in four days on the second pitch he saw. Brice Turang figures to be Milwaukee's primary leadoff option against righties when the regular season gets underway, but he will likely hit lower in the order against southpaws, and Durbin -- who as things stand could open the campaign as the starting third baseman -- will be among the candidates to hit first those days.

Yankees get closer Devin Williams from Brewers for Nestor Cortes, Caleb Durbin

The New York Yankees have acquired All-Star closer Devin Williams from the Milwaukee Brewers for left-hander Nestor Cortes and infield prospect Caleb Durbin

Moving to Milwaukee The Brewers acquired Durbin and Nestor Cortes from the Yankees on Friday in exchange for Devin Williams, Jeff Passan of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Durbin was added to New York's 40-man roster in November in order to protect him from the Rule 5 Draft and was expected to have "a big, big role" in the majors next season, per manager Aaron Boone, but he's instead been shipped out to acquire an All-Star closer. The 24-year-old was one of the organizations top prospects and should have an immediate path to playing time in Milwaukee following the departure of shortstop Willy Adames. Durbin features a high-contact, low-power bat and had an .867 OPS with 10 homers and 29 stolen bases in 82 games at the Triple-A level in 2024.

Brought onto 40-man The Yankees selected Durbin to their 40-man roster Tuesday.

Impact Manager Aaron Boone said last week that Durbin would play "a big, big role" for the Yankees in 2025, so it isn't too surprising to see the 24-year-old receive a 40-man spot ahead of December's Rule 5 Draft. Durbin slashed .287/.396/.471 with 10 home runs and 60 RBI at Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre last season, and Boone's comments suggest he has a decent chance of making the Yankees' Opening Day roster.

Seen as integral piece next season Yankees manager Aaron Boone said Monday that Durbin is "going to play a big, big role for us this upcoming season," Chris Kirschner of The Athletic reports.

Impact Durbin, who turns 25 in February, batted .287/.396/.471 with 10 home runs, 29 stolen bases and a 37:47 K:BB this season with Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre. He also boasts a .934 OPS with four homers and 23 steals in 21 games so far during Arizona Fall League play. Durbin has played every position other than first base and catcher, but he spent most of his time in 2024 at second base and could be a candidate to start there for the Yankees in 2025. While not yet on the 40-man roster, Durbin is a shoo-in to be added to it this offseason in order to be protected from the Rule 5 Draft.

Returns from IL, heads to Double-A Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre reinstated Durbin (hand) from its 60-day injured list Thursday and assigned him to Double-A Somerset.

Impact Durbin was slashing .299/.413/.458 with three home runs and 20 stolen bases in 46 games with Scranton/Wilkes-Barre before he was shelved in late May with a right hand injury. He made one rehab appearance with Single-A Tampa last Wednesday before Scranton/Wilkes-Barre opted to activate him a day later. Though Durbin has technically been assigned to Somerset and has gone 2-for-14 at the dish over his four starts at Double-A, he's essentially continuing his rehab assignment. Look for Scranton/Wilkes-Barre to bring Durbin back once he has more time to build up at-bats with Somerset.
