The Yankees reassigned McClain to their minor-league camp Sunday.
After finishing the 2021 campaign at Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre and attending camp as a non-roster invitee, McClain faced long odds to break camp with the Yankees. He didn't help his case for a spot in the Yankees' Opening Day bullpen by giving up five runs (four earned) on six hits and two walks across two innings in his two Grapefruit League appearances.

Yankees' Reggie McClain: Moves to minor-league camp
Rotowire
McClain was reassigned to minor-league camp Friday.
McClain had at least an outside shot at winning a bullpen spot, but he's not on the 40-man roster, so it's no surprise to see him fail to win a job. With a career 5.81 ERA in 26.1 big-league innings, he's likely in line for low-leverage work next time he makes it back to the majors.

Phillies' Reggie McClain: Lands on injured list
Rotowire
McClain was placed on the 10-day injured list Thursday with right shoulder impingement, Meghan Montemurro of The Athletic reports.
McClain spent the past several days on the paternity list, but he'll be sidelined longer due to a shoulder issue. The transaction is retroactive to Aug. 3, so the right-hander will be eligible to return as early as Aug. 14, when the team begins a series against the Mets. However, the severity of the injury is unclear, and the team hasn't announced when McClain could return. He had made just two relief appearances in low-leverage situations for Philadelphia to begin the season.
