Called up ahead of start Sears was recalled from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre prior to his start Tuesday against the A's.

Impact The Yankees haven't needed to use more than five starters for most of the season, so Sears has largely pitched at Triple-A, where he has a 2.25 ERA, 0.71 WHIP and 33:6 K:BB in 28 innings over his last six starts. He also struck out five over five scoreless innings en route to a win in his lone MLB start this season, so there's reason to deploy him in this nice matchup in a spot start against Oakland.

Yankees Hoping JP Sears Can Provide Another Successful Spot Start Sears will make the second start of his MLB career on Tuesday, looking to carry over strong numbers from his season in Triple-A

Starting Tuesday The Yankees will call up Sears from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre to start Tuesday's game against the Athletics, Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports.

Impact Although the Yankees' starters are fully healthy, Sears will make a spot start against the Athletics to give the team's other starters an additional day of rest. Over his first three appearances (one start) of the season, the southpaw struck out seven in seven scoreless innings. Sears is likely to be returned to Scranton/Wilkes-Barre following Tuesday's outing.

Could make spot start Manager Aaron Boone said Sunday that Sears could be called up from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre this week to make a spot start with the Yankees, Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports.

Impact The Yankees have all five of their starting pitchers in optimal health, but Boone is still eager to temporarily add another arm to the mix in an effort to afford each member of the rotation some added rest amid a heavy schedule of games. According to Conor Foley of The Scranton Times-Tribune, Sears was scratched from his scheduled start Sunday for Scranton/Wilkes-Barre, which seemingly supports the notion that he's on track to join the Yankees for their three-game series with the Athletics to begin the week. In his first MLB start May 25 against the Orioles, Sears struck out five over five scoreless innings.

Impact It's not a major surprise Sears was demoted after being called up for a spot start in the wake of Sunday's doubleheader against the White Sox, but it's still a tough draw after delivering a strong performance. The 26-year-old generated 10 swinging strikes and didn't allow an extra-base hit. Sears will return to the rotation for Scranton/Wilkes-Barre, but he should be in the mix throughout the rest of the season whenever the Yankees require a spot starter.

Promoted to start Wednesday Sears was recalled from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre and will start Wednesday's game against the Orioles.

Impact The 26-year-old was reported as Wednesday's expected starter earlier in the day, and he's now officially been added to the big-league roster. Sears made his MLB debut earlier this season and has two scoreless innings out of the bullpen, but it now time for his first major-league start. The left-hander has been dominant at Triple-A this year with a 1.25 ERA, 0.61 WHIP and 30:2 K:BB across 21.2 innings. It'll likely only be a spot start for Sears since the Yankees' regular five-man rotation is healthy.

JP Sears Likely to Start for Yankees Wednesday Sears, New York’s No. 23 prospect, would be making his first MLB start

MAY 24, 2022 • STAR-TELEGRAM.COM

Likely starting Wednesday Sears will likely be called up from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre to start Wednesday's game against the Orioles, Lindsey Adler of The Athletic reports.

Impact Sears made two relief appearances for the Yankees early in the season and tossed two scoreless innings before being sent down in mid-April. However, he's worked mainly as a starter at Scranton/Wilkes-Barre and has posted a 1.25 ERA and 0.61 WHIP in 21.2 innings over six appearances (four starts). The Yankees need a spot starter after Sunday's doubleheader against the White Sox, so Sears will likely step in to make his first major-league start during Wednesday's home matchup.

Yankees' JP Sears Earns First MLB Win, Gets Optioned to Triple-A After Game Sears played a key role in Saturday’s victory over the Orioles, but was promptly sent down after the game

APRIL 17, 2022 • NEWSOBSERVER.COM

Optioned to Triple-A Sears was optioned to Triple-A Wilkes-Barre on Saturday.

Impact Sears earned a spot in the big-league bullpen to begin the 2022 season, and he delivered two scoreless innings across two appearances. He also was awarded the win Saturday against the Orioles prior to being optioned, and he should be promoted to the major-league roster to contribute out of the bullpen at some point again during the campaign.

Makes Opening Day roster Sears was told Monday that he's made the Yankees' Opening Day roster, Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports.

Impact Sears was protected from the Rule 5 draft in November, and he'll be available to make his major-league debut to begin the 2022 campaign. The southpaw progressed to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre last year and posted a 2.87 ERA and 0.98 WHIP in 53.1 innings across 10 starts. He should be able to serve as a bulk reliever or spot starter in the big leagues.
