Yankees Release Outfielder Rafael Ortega
The Yankees have released outfielder Rafael Ortega.

NEWSOBSERVER.COM
Granted release by Yankees
Ortega was released by the Yankees on Tuesday, Steve Adams of MLB Trade Rumors reports.
Impact
The Yanks haven't publicly revealed Ortega's status yet, but Adams hears that he was told he would not make the roster and, as a result, requested and was granted his release. Presumably, that means Estevan Florial has officially made the team. Ortega will now look to catch on elsewhere.

Good shot to win roster spot
Ortega has a good shot to win an Opening Day roster spot with the Yankees following the injury to Harrison Bader (oblique), Greg Joyce of the New York Post reports.
Impact
Manager Aaron Boone noted that Ortega was firmly in the mix even before Bader's injury and now his roster spot might be cinched. He could even get a good number of starts in center field while Bader is out if the team prefers to keep Aaron Judge and Aaron Hicks on the corners. Ortega posted a .753 OPS as a semi-regular with the Cubs over the previous two seasons.

Rafael Ortega Gives Yankees Another Low-Risk Option in Left
New York added another left-handed hitting outfielder on a minor league deal

SACBEE.COM
Catches on with Yankees
Ortega signed a minor-league contract with the Yankees on Tuesday, Empire Sports Media reports.
Impact
The deal presumably includes an invite to major-league spring training. Ortega is a solid depth signing for a team which has a couple injury risks in center field in Harrison Bader and Aaron Hicks and a left fielder in Oswaldo Cabrera whose main experience is as an infielder. The 31-year-old had an .823 OPS as a part-timer with the Cubs in 2021 before falling off to a .688 OPS in 2022.

Becomes free agent
The Cubs declined to tender Ortega a contract for 2023, Jordan Bastian of MLB.com reports.
Impact
With that, Ortega is now a free agent. This comes just a little over a year after Ortega's incredible run in his debut with the Cubs (.291/.360/.463 line, 11 homers and 12 steals in his first 103 games). As is often the case, the league started pitching him differently and the results suffered. Ortega is already 31 but figures to stick around the league for now as a reserve outfielder.
