The Yankees signed Brantly to a minor-league contract Tuesday, Conor Foley of YES Network reports.

EDGE Analysis

Brantly spent portions of the 2021 and 2022 seasons in the Yankees organization, and he'll return to the team a week after being waived by the Marlins. The catcher will report to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre. In 41 plate appearances for Triple-A Jacksonville this season, Brantly slashed .359/.390/.590 with six doubles and a homer.

The Marlins released Brantly on Monday.

EDGE Analysis

Brantly appeared in three games for the Marlins in April before landing on the injured list due to a strained right lat and then knee inflammation before he was designated for assignment July 14 once he was activated. The veteran backstop accepted an outright assignment to Triple-A Jacksonville after clearing waivers, but he'll end up being cut loose despite slashing .359/.390/.590 over 41 plate appearances with Miami's top affiliate. Now a free agent, Brantly could land a minor-league deal with an organization that's short on catching depth.

The Marlins outrighted Brantly to Triple-A Jacksonville on Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

He's no longer on the 40-man roster, but Brantly will remain in the organization as catching depth. The 35-year-old went 3-for-7 at the plate earlier this season for Miami before missing nearly three months with a right lat strain, and later, a knee issue.

Brantly (lat/knee) was activated from the 60-day injured list and then designated for assignment Monday.

EDGE Analysis

Brantly was placed on the 15-day injured list April 21 due to a right lat strain, and he was later transferred to the 60-day IL to clear a spot on the 40-man roster. He'll head to waivers following Monday's transaction and would presumably report to Triple-A Jacksonville if he doesn't receive any interest.

Brantly (lat/knee) was cleared to resume his rehab assignment at Triple-A Jacksonville on Sunday, Kevin Barral of FishonFirst.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Brantly didn't end up playing Sunday after Jacksonville's game against Charlotte was rained out, but the veteran catcher seems to be healthy again after left knee inflammation caused him to be pulled off his previous assignment with the Triple-A club about three weeks ago. The 35-year-old was initially placed on the injured list April 21 due to a right lat strain, though that injury no longer appears to be much of a concern. Once he completes his rehab assignment, Brantly could be activated from the 60-day IL and designated for assignment, as the Marlins are already carrying three catchers (Agustin Ramirez, Nick Fortes and Liam Hicks) on the 26-man active roster and wouldn't appear to have room for him.

Brantly (lat) began a rehab assignment with Triple-A Jacksonville on Tuesday, going 0-for-3 with two strikeouts.

EDGE Analysis

Brantly has missed nearly two months of action with a right lat strain. With the Marlins already carrying three catcher on their active roster, Brantly is a good bet to be designated for assignment once activated from the 60-day injured list.

The Marlins transferred Brantly (lat) to the 60-day injured list Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

Brantly landed on the injured list April 21 with a strained right lat, and moving to the 60-day IL will ensure he remains out until at least late June. He'll concede his spot on the 40-man roster to Janson Junk, who was selected to the active roster Saturday.

The Marlins placed Brantly (lat) on the 10-day injured list Monday.

EDGE Analysis

Brantly has been diagnosed with a strained right lat. The Marlins have promoted top catching prospect Agustin Ramirez to take Brantly's place on the roster.

Brantly went 3-for-3 with an RBI in Thursday's loss to the Diamondbacks.

EDGE Analysis

The veteran backstop picked up his first hits and first RBI of 2025 in his second game for the Marlins this season. Brantly doesn't offer a lot of upside at the plate given his career .227/.287/.325 slash line in the majors, but with Liam Hicks struggling (.522 OPS over 45 plate appearances), Brantly could see more playing time than expected while Nick Fortes (oblique) is on the shelf.

Brantly is starting at catcher and batting ninth against the Nationals on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

Brantly will make his first major-league start of the season Sunday as Liam Hicks gets a rest day. Brantly last played for the Marlins in 2013, slashing .211/.263/.265 with 15 walks, 11 runs scored, one home run and 18 RBI across 243 plate appearances.
