Geoff Hartlieb’s second probability with the Yankees went as poorly as the first.
And it prompted the Yankees to designate the right-handed reliever for project on Wednesday for the second time in a week.
The 31-year-old journeyman gave up three runs on three hits and a stroll in just ⅓ of an inning in the Yankees’ 10-3 win over the Mariners Tuesday evening in The Bronx. That included a two-run home run by Cal Raleigh in the eighth, the stud catcher’s MLB-best thirty sixth homer of the season.
That adopted a tough outing against the Blue Jays on July 1, when Hartlieb surrendered three runs on two hits and three walks in one inning.

The Yankees first DFA’d Hartlieb final Wednesday, and on Friday he elected free company as an alternative of accepting an outright project to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre.
But the Yankees re-signed Hartlieb to a main league deal before Sunday’s Subway Series finale against the Mets while optioning lefty Jayvien Sandridge to Triple-A.
Hartlieb, who spent final season with the Rockies and made three MLB appearances with the Mets in 2021, has a 3.34 ERA with 38 strikeouts in 35 innings with Scranton/Wilkes-Barre this season.
Wednesday’s transfer creates a roster spot for right-handed pitching prospect Cam Schlittler, who will begin and make his MLB debut Wednesday evening.
