Yankees' Jeter Downs: Claimed by Yankees

The Yankees claimed Downs off waivers from the Nationals on Tuesday.

Downs had been designated for assignment a week ago and now has landed in his third organization over the last year. The 25-year-old was considered a top-100 prospect when he was acquired by the Red Sox in the Mookie Betts trade, but Downs has slashed just .202/.306/.370 at the Triple-A level.
