Picks up steal Friday Escarra went 2-for-4 with a double, a walk, one stolen base and one run scored in Friday's 10-2 win over the Athletics.
Impact The steal was Escarra's first in the big leagues. The catcher has two multi-hit efforts over his last five games dating back to April 27. He won't see all that much playing time with two other catchers (Austin Wells and Ben Rice) on the Yankees' roster. Escarra is batting .212 with a home run, four RBI, three runs scored and a steal over 40 plate appearances this season.

Escarra has gone 5-for-25 with three walks, two runs scored, home home run and two RBI this season.

Notches first big-league hit Escarra went 1-for-4 with a double in Thursday's 9-7 victory versus Arizona.
Impact With Austin Wells getting a game off behind the plate, Escarra made his first start of the campaign. The 29-year-old enjoyed a personal milestone in the seventh inning when he hit a double to right field for his first hit as a major-leaguer. Escarra is a feel-good story -- he made the Yankees' Opening Day roster this year after being out of affiliated ball in 2022 and 2023 -- but his fantasy viability is limited due to his role as a backup to Wells, though Escarra does have the ability to play at both corner-infield and corner-outfield spots if needed.
