Career



New York Yankees


Yajure signed with the New York Yankees as an international free agent in March 2015, receiving $30,000.[1][2] He made his professional debut that season with the Dominican Summer League Yankees. He played 2016 with the Gulf Coast Yankees and missed 2017 after undergoing Tommy John surgery.[3]

Yajure returned from the injury in 2018 and pitched with the Charleston RiverDogs. He started 2019 with the Tampa Tarpons before being promoted to the Trenton Thunder.[4] After the 2019 season, he was named a 2019 Florida State League Postseason All-Star.[5] The Yankees placed Yajure on their 40-man roster in November 2019 to protect him from the Rule 5 draft.[5]

Yajure made his major league debut in relief on August 31, 2020, against the Tampa Bay Rays. He pitched three shutout innings, with two strikeouts and three walks. He wore number 89, MLB's last unused uniform number.[6] In three relief appearances with New York, Yajure compiled a 1.29 earned run average (ERA) while striking out eight batters in seven innings.[7]


Pittsburgh Pirates


On January 24, 2021, the Yankees traded Yajure, Roansy Contreras, Maikol Escotto, and Canaan Smith-Njigba to the Pittsburgh Pirates for Jameson Taillon.[8] On June 24, Yajure was placed on the 60-day injured list with right forearm/elbow soreness.[9] He made four appearances (three starts) for the Pirates during 2021, pitching to an 8.40 ERA and striking out 11 batters in 15 innings.[7] He also appeared in nine games for the Triple-A Indianapolis Indians, compiling a 3.09 ERA and 2–3 record in nine starts.[10]

During 2022, Yajure has split time between Indianapolis, pitching primarily as a starter, and Pittsburgh, pitching primarily as a reliever.[10]
