Impact Amburgey made his major-league debut with the Yankees in 2021, going hitless in four plate appearances. He spent most of the campaign at the Triple-A level, where he hit .276/.337/.475 in 71 games.

TREY AMBURGEY
Signs with Reds Amburgey agreed to a minor-league contract with the Reds on Wednesday that includes an invitation to big-league camp.
Activated, returns to minors Amburgey (hamstring) was activated from the 10-day injured list and optioned to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Wednesday.
Impact It's not a surprising move, as Amburgey landed on the shelf July 20 and the Yankees shored up their lineup at the trade deadline. The 26-year-old made his big-league debut and appeared in two games, going 0-for-4 with a pair of strikeouts. He has an .893 OPS at Scranton/Wilkes-Barre this season, and he'll remain with the RailRiders after completing his five-game rehab assignment.

Starts rehab stint Amburgey (hamstring) reported to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Tuesday to begin a rehab assignment.
Impact Amburgey landed on the injured list with a strained hamstring July 20, so he shouldn't require more than a few rehab games. The 27-year-old is unlikely to see much action for the Yankees once healthy following the addition of Joey Gallo at the trade deadline.

Resumes defensive work Amburgey (hamstring) was spotted taking part in defensive work Thursday, Max Goodman of SI.com reports.
Impact After being called up from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre coming out of the All-Star break while the Yankees were without multiple key outfielders, Amburgey appeared in only two games before going down with an injury of his own. His ability to take part in defensive drills seemingly represents a step forward in the recovery process for the 26-year-old, but he's still likely a week or more away from returning from the 10-day injured list. Since Amburgey was shut down, the Yankees have gotten Aaron Judge back from the COVID-19 IL and acquired Joey Gallo from the Rangers, so the team likely won't have a big need for the rookie in the outfield once he's back to full health.

Moves to IL with hammy strain The Yankees placed Amburgey on the 10-day injured list Tuesday with a right hamstring strain.
Impact New York initially described Amburgey's hamstring injury as a "cramp" after he exited Sunday's win over the Red Sox, but follow-up tests evidently turned up a more serious concern. Following his call-up last weekend, the 26-year-old rookie appeared in just two games before hitting the shelf. The Yankees called up Estevan Florial from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre in a corresponding move, and he could push for a near-everyday role in the outfield in the short term while the big club waits for at least one of Amburgey, Aaron Judge (COVID-19), Miguel Andujar (wrist) and Clint Frazier (eye) to return from the injured list.

Managing hamstring cramp Amburgey was diagnosed with a right hamstring cramp after he left Sunday's game against the Red Sox, Erik Boland of Newsday reports.
Impact It's not yet clear whether Amburgey's injury will force him to miss additional time, but he'll at least be able to recover during the Yankees' scheduled off day Monday. He should be considered day-to-day for now, but Ryan LaMarre and Greg Allen could see additional playing time in the team's depleted outfield if the 26-year-old is sidelined going forward.

Removed from Sunday's game Amburgey exited Sunday's game against the Red Sox in the bottom of the fourth inning with an apparent right hamstring injury, Buster Olney of ESPN reports.
Impact Amburgey appeared to pull up after he grounded into a double play to end the fourth inning, and he was removed from the game after being examined by trainers. He went 0-for-2 with a strikeout before leaving the contest, and it's not yet clear whether the 26-year-old will be forced to miss additional time.

Hitless in big-league debut Amburgey went 0-for-2 with a strikeout in Friday's loss to Boston.
Impact Amburgey received his first big-league call-up Thursday after slashing .312/.379/.582 for Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre this season. He started in his first big-league contest Friday, playing right field and batting eighth in the order. The 26-year-old was unable to reach base in his first two at-bats and was replaced by a pinch hitter in the seventh inning. Amburgey could see a fair amount of playing time in the short term with fellow outfielders Aaron Judge (COVID-19), Miguel Andujar (wrist) and Clint Frazier (illness) all currently on the injured list.
