The Yankees added some depth to their minor league system Thursday, when they claimed Marco Luciano off waivers from the Orioles.
The 24-year-old Luciano last appeared in the majors for the Giants in 2024 and played 41 games for San Francisco from 2023-24, putting up an OPS of just .590.
Primarily a middle infielder earlier in his minor league career, Luciano spent all of last season with Triple-A Sacramento and played left field.
It’s been a busy offseason for Luciano, who was claimed off waivers by the Pirates and Orioles earlier in the offseason, so there’s no guarantee he’ll make it to Tampa for spring training with the Yankees.
Luciano was among the top international free agents when he signed with the Giants for $2.6 million in 2018 out of the Dominican Republic.
