Latches on with Yankees The Yankees signed Brown to a minor-league contract Monday, Aram Leighton of JustBaseball.com reports.

Impact Brown's production with the Athletics tumbled in the wrong direction since he had back-to-back 20-plus homer seasons in 2021 and 2022, as the 33-year-old finished 2025 with just a .185/.303/.262 batting line over 38 tilts. He does have some power and can play all three outfield spots in addition to first base, giving the Yankees some quality depth at Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre.

Impact Brown was released by the Athletics on June 26 and had been without an organization since. The veteran outfielder posted a woeful .565 OPS with only one homer and three RBI over 38 big-league games before being let go, though he batted .500 (21-for-42) with seven home runs in just nine contests in the minors following a late-May demotion to Triple-A. Brown had been on the major-league 10-day injured list due to a left elbow injury at the time of his release, and it's not yet clear if he needs more time to recover from the issue.
