Sent back to minors The Yankees optioned Cordero to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Sunday.

Impact Cordero lost his spot on the 26-man active roster after the Yankees reinstated another left-handed-hitting outfielder in Jake Bauers (shoulder) from the 10-day injured list in a corresponding move. Bauers will start in right field and bat leadoff in Sunday's game against the Royals and should serve as a strong-side platoon option at the position until the Yankees get Aaron Judge (toe) back from the IL. Prior to his demotion, Cordero had started in each of the Yankees' last three games, going 4-for-11 with a pair of solo home runs, a double and an additional run.

Contributes homer in loss Cordero went 3-for-4 with a solo home run, a double and two total runs scored in a loss to the Angels on Monday.

Impact The Yankees watched Los Angeles jump out to a big lead early, but Cordero at least gave his team some life with his solo shot in the eighth inning that narrowed the deficit to three runs. The outfielder finished with three hits overall, which was more than he had tallied over his previous 33 at-bats combined. Cordero homered four times in his first seven games as a Yankee, but Wednesday's long ball was his first since that span. He's spent most of his time in the minors since finishing April in a 1-for-28 swoon.

Expected to be recalled Cordero was spotted in the Yankees' clubhouse Friday and is likely to be recalled from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre, Chris Kirschner of The Athletic reports.

Impact He's presumably taking the roster spot soon to be vacated by Jake Bauers (shoulder), who is headed to the injured list. Cordero has batted only .148/.179/.389 over 56 plate appearances with the Yanks this season.

JULY 7, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Placed on 7-day IL Cordero was placed on the 7-day injured list by Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Wednesday with an undisclosed injury, Conor Foley of The Scranton Times-Tribune reports.

Impact Cordero will sit for a week while recovering with the undisclosed injury. The outfielder has had a pair of stints with the Yankees in 2023, but he's struggled to a slash of .148/.179/.389 over 56 plate appearances in those opportunities.

Sent back to Triple-A The Yankees optioned Cordero to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Thursday.

Impact Cordero struck out in his lone at-bat during this latest brief stint on the Yankees' major-league roster. He had a strong one-week run of power production in April but is batting just .148/.179/.389 across 56 total plate appearances this season in the bigs.

Recalled from Triple-A Cordero was recalled from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Tuesday.

Impact Cordero is taking the place of Harrison Bader on the 26-man active roster after Bader was placed on the injured list with a hamstring strain. The outfielder could see starts in the outfield over the coming weeks, but is more likely to be a bench option while with the club at this point.

Optioned to Triple-A Cordero was optioned to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre by the Yankees on Tuesday.

Impact He had just been recalled Monday when Aaron Judge (hip) went on the injured list but is headed right back to SWB following Harrison Bader's (oblique) return. Cordero has four homers but a .578 OPS and 20:2 K:BB in 18 games this season.

Recalled from Triple-A Cordero was recalled from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre by the Yankees on Monday.

Yankees dump fizzling Franchy Cordero for Jake Bauers | What it means The New York Yankees and Texas Rangers continue their four-game series on Saturday night in Arlington, Texas.

APRIL 29, 2023 • NJ.COM

Optioned to Triple-A Cordero was optioned to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre by the Yankees on Friday.

Impact Cordero started off on fire for the Yankees after signing with the team just before the season, but the outfielder hasn't picked up a hit since April 14 and saw his average fall to .151 with another hitless affair against the Rangers on Friday. The Yankees will announce a corresponding move before Saturday's game versus Texas.

APRIL 29, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Sitting again Thursday Cordero is not in the lineup Thursday versus the Rangers.

Impact Cordero did not start Wednesday with a right-hander on the mound for the Twins and he's sitting again Thursday with left-hander Andrew Heaney toeing the slab for Texas. The 28-year-old flourished over his first two weeks with the Yankees, but he is 0-for-18 with seven strikeouts and zero walks over his last eight games.

APRIL 27, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Sitting versus right-hander Cordero is not in the starting lineup Wednesday versus the Twins, Chris Kirschner of The Athletic reports.

Impact Cordero will get a breather as the Yankees face right-hander Kenta Maeda on the mound. Left-handed batter Willie Calhoun will draw the start in right field and bat sixth as New York looks to avoid the sweep against Minnesota.

APRIL 26, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Out against right-hander Cordero is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Blue Jays.

Impact He'll be on the bench for the third time in four games, but unlike his prior two absences, the Yankees are opposing a right-handed starting pitcher (Kevin Gausman) on Sunday. The lefty-hitting Cordero's hold on a strong-side platoon role looks as though it may be loosening while he's fallen into a 1-for-18 rut at the dish over his last seven games.
