Ridings has yet to start throwing due to shoulder and back issues, Max Goodman of SI.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Ridings has pitched only five big-league innings, though he fared well by posting a 7:2 K:BB and allowing only one earned run across the five frames last season. He could compete for a bullpen role out of spring training if he heals up relatively quickly, but he may otherwise be destined to start the season at the Triple-A level.

Ridings was added to the Yankees' 40-man roster Friday.

EDGE Analysis

He made five appearances in the majors last season and made his way back onto the 40-man prior to the Rule 5 draft. Ridings projects as a low-to-mid-leverage reliever.

Ridings (undisclosed) played catch Friday, Conor Foley of The Scranton Times-Tribune reports.

EDGE Analysis

Ridings is working his way back from an unspecified injury that landed him on the injured list at Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Aug. 23. The 26-year-old received his first taste of the majors with five outings in August and allowed one run on four hits with seven strikeouts and two walks over five innings.

Ridings was returned to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Monday.

EDGE Analysis

Ridings had served as a replacement player in the Yankees' bullpen since early August, and he posted a 1.80 ERA and 1.20 WHIP in five innings across five appearances since he joined the major-league roster. However, he'll return to the Triple-A club since Jordan Montgomery is expected to be reinstated from the COVID-19 injured list to start Tuesday's matinee against the Red Sox.
