The New York Yankees claimed right-handed pitchers Roansy Contreras and Allan Winans off waivers Thursday from the Baltimore Orioles and Atlanta Braves, respectively.

Contreras, 25, split the 2024 season between the Pittsburgh Pirates and Los Angeles Angels before a journey through the waiver wire. He was selected off waivers by the Texas Rangers in October, by the Cincinnati Reds in December and by Baltimore on Jan. 10, making the Yankees the fourth team to put in a successful waiver claim for him this winter.

Previously in the Yankees’ farm system, Contreras was sent to Pittsburgh as part of the trade to bring starting pitcher Jameson Taillon to New York in 2021.

He went a combined 2-4 with two saves and a 4.35 ERA in 49 games (three starts) in 2024 for the Pirates and Angels. In 90 career appearances at the MLB level (33 starts), Contreras has gone 10-16 with three saves and a 4.72 ERA, tossing 103 walks against 201 strikeouts.

Winans, 29, made his MLB debut for Atlanta in 2023. In eight career games — all starts — He is 1-4 with a 7.20 ERA, including 0-2 with a 15.26 ERA over two starts last season.

Winans has a 16-10 record and a 3.23 ERA in 51 appearances (36 starts) all-time at the Triple-A level.
