Former Cincinnati Reds minor league pitcher Jayvien Sandridge made his Major League debut with the New York Yankees on Saturday, July 5.

The 26-year-old gave up two runs on one hit and three walks in 2/3 of an inning against the New York Mets.

The left-hander was with the Reds organization from 2021 to 2023. In 2023, he made 36 appearances with High-A Dayton with an ERA of 3.81 and 86 strikeouts over 59 innings.

That fall, he pitched in the Arizona Fall League for the Reds and had a 1.42 ERA over six games, but later signed with the San Diego Padres.

In February of this season, he signed a minor league deal with the New York Yankees.

Sandridge is the 154th Dayton Dragons player to make their Major League debut.
