Brantly's contract was selected by the Yankees on Tuesday, and he'll be part of the team's wild-card roster.

EDGE Analysis

Brantly has appeared in five major-league games this season, filling in when either Gary Sanchez or Kyle Higashioka landed on the COVID-19 injured list. He'll serve as the third catcher Tuesday, allowing the Yankees to use Sanchez as a pinch hitter while still having cover behind the plate for Higashioka, who's expected to catch for Gerrit Cole.
