NEW YORK — The New York Yankees are reportedly in the market for infield help ahead of the 2025 trade deadline. According to Jon Heyman of the New York Post, one name that has emerged on the Yankees’ radar is Luis Rengifo of the Los Angeles Angels. Rengifo, a versatile switch-hitting infielder, has experience at second base, shortstop, and third base — positions the Yankees have struggled to solidify consistently this season.

Through late June, Rengifo is slashing .224/.268/.572, indicating a down year at the plate compared to his career norms. While those numbers are underwhelming, the 27-year-old’s ability to bat from both sides and provide defensive flexibility makes him a viable candidate for a change of scenery. His bat has shown signs of life in previous seasons, and a move to a contending team like the Yankees could help unlock some of that untapped potential.

With the Yankees contending in the American League East and dealing with underperformance and injuries on the infield, a low-cost, high-upside acquisition like Rengifo could be a pragmatic addition down the stretch.
