Top J.C. Escarra News

  • Yankees' J.C. Escarra: Filling in for resting Wells

    Escarra (personal) will start at catcher and bat eighth Monday against the Blue Jays.

    Though the Yankees never officially placed him on the paternity list, Escarra was away from the club for a few days to observe the birth of his child before he returned to the bench for Sunday's 12-5 win over the Athletics. Escarra caught the final two innings of that contest and will now pick up his 20th start of the season Monday while top backstop Austin Wells rests.

  • Yankees' J.C. Escarra: Expected back Sunday

    Manager Aaron Boone said that Escarra (personal) is expected to rejoin the Yankees ahead of Sunday's game against the Athletics, Gary Phillips of the New York Daily News reports.

    Escarra has been away from the team since Wednesday while observing the birth of his child, but the backup catcher won't be out much longer. Ben Rice will serve as the Yankees' No. 2 option behind the plate while Escarra remains unavailable.

  • Yankees' J.C. Escarra: Will go on paternity list

    Escarra will miss Wednesday's game against the Reds and is expected to be placed on the paternity list, Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports.

    Escarra was supposed to be in Wednesday's lineup, but he'll instead be away from the team while attending the birth of his child. The Yankees didn't have time to call up a player to Cincinnati, so Austin Wells will start behind the plate, with Ben Rice likely serving as the reserve catcher, per Hoch.

  • Yankees' J.C. Escarra: Big day against O's

    Escarra went 2-for-3 with a home run, two runs scored and three RBI in Saturday's 9-0 win over the Orioles.

    The 30-year-old rookie popped his second career homer in the second inning, hooking a Zach Eflin sweeper down the right-field line into the short porch at Yankee Stadium. Escarra continues to be used sparingly behind starter Austin Wells, and Saturday's RBI were his first since May 25, while the runs were his first since May 9.

  • Yankees' J.C. Escarra: First career three-hit game

    Escarra went 3-for-4 with an RBI double and an RBI single during Sunday's 5-4 win over the Rockies.

    Escarra, a 30-year-old rookie, notched his first three-hit game in the big leagues and drove in a pair of runs during Sunday's win. He came into the contest with one hit in his last eight at-bats. On the year, Escarra is slashing .244/.352/.400 with one homer, four doubles and a 7:7 BB:K across 54 plate appearances.

  • Yankees' J.C. Escarra: Picks up steal Friday

    Escarra went 2-for-4 with a double, a walk, one stolen base and one run scored in Friday's 10-2 win over the Athletics.

    The steal was Escarra's first in the big leagues. The catcher has two multi-hit efforts over his last five games dating back to April 27. He won't see all that much playing time with two other catchers (Austin Wells and Ben Rice) on the Yankees' roster, though Rice rarely catches. Escarra is batting .212 with a home run, four RBI, three runs scored and a steal over 40 plate appearances this season.

  • Yankees' J.C. Escarra: Belts first major-league homer

    Escarra went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and an additional RBI in the Yankees' 5-1 win over the Blue Jays in Game 2 of Sunday's doubleheader.

    Escarra started in Sunday's nightcap after Austin Wells served behind home plate in Game 1. Escarra extended the Yankees' lead to three runs in the sixth inning on an RBI single to right field, and he followed that up with his first major-league home run in the eighth. Escarra has gone 5-for-25 with three walks, two runs scored, one home run and two RBI this season.

  • Yankees' J.C. Escarra: Notches first big-league hit

    Escarra went 1-for-4 with a double in Thursday's 9-7 victory over Arizona.

    With Austin Wells getting a game off, Escarra made his first start of the campaign. The 29-year-old enjoyed a personal milestone in the seventh inning when he hit a double to right field for his first hit as a major-leaguer. Escarra is a feel-good story -- he made the Yankees' Opening Day roster this year after being out of affiliated ball in 2022 and 2023 -- but his fantasy viability is limited due to his role as a backup to Wells, though Escarra does have the ability to play at both corner-infield and corner-outfield spots if needed.

  • Yankees' J.C. Escarra: Officially makes team

    Escarra was informed Saturday that he will be on the Yankees' Opening Day roster.

    Escarra has had an impressive spring, maintaining a .936 OPS with five extra-base hits across 48 at-bats. It was reported Tuesday that he was in line to make the team as the backup to Austin Wells, and that is now officially the case. In 2024, Escarra maintained a 119 wRC+ across 493 plate appearances combined between Double and Triple-A.

  • Yankees' J.C. Escarra: In line to serve as backup catcher

    Escarra has a "stranglehold" on the Yankees' backup catcher job behind starter Austin Wells, Jack Curry of YES Network reports.

    Escarra has crushed the ball this spring, sporting a 1.032 OPS with three home runs in 14 Grapefruit League contests. The 29-year-old is on the 40-man roster but will be making his major-league debut when he gets into a game. Ben Rice will also be on the Opening Day roster and is capable of catching, but he's likely to focus mostly on designated hitter duties.

  • Yankees' J.C. Escarra: Swinging hot stick in spring play

    Escarra went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Friday's Grapefruit League win against the Phillies.

    Escarra went deep in the seventh inning, blasting a 386-foot homer to right field. The 30-year-old has stood out this spring, slashing .355/.394/.645 with three homers, seven RBI and only six strikeouts over 33 plate appearances. Escarra thrived with a .930 OPS over 201 plate appearances at Triple-A last season, and he's competing for an Opening Day roster spot as New York's backup catcher behind Austin Wells.

  • Yankees' J.C. Escarra: Belts Grapefruit League long ball

    Escarra went 2-for-3 with a solo home run and three total RBI in Thursday's Grapefruit League loss to Minnesota.

    Escarra drove in three of the Yankees' four runs in the contest, notching a two-run single in the seventh inning and a solo shot to right-center field in the ninth. The 29-year-old made noise at Triple-A last season with a .930 OPS, eight home runs and 34 RBI over 52 games, and he's competing in camp for the backup catcher job behind Austin Wells in the Bronx. Escarra has hit well this spring with a .294/.333/.471 slash line, four RBI and just three strikeouts over 18 plate appearances. His path to a roster spot could be helped by the fact that he is on the 40-man roster, unlike Alex Jackson, who is also in the running for New York's backup catcher role.

  • Yankees' J.C. Escarra: Joins 40-man roster

    The Yankees selected Escarra's contract from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Sunday.

    Escarra hit .261/.355/.434 with 12 homers between Double-A Somerset and Scranton/Wilkes-Barre in 2024. The 29-year-old has yet to see any action at the major-league level but will enter the offseason as part of the Yankees' 40-man roster.
