The New York Yankees are bringing back left-handed reliever Tim Hill on a one-year, $2.85 million contract, ESPN reported Tuesday.

The deal includes a $3 million club option for 2026 with a $350,000 buyout, per the report.

Hill, who turns 35 next week, signed with New York last season on June 20, two days after being released by the Chicago White Sox. He went 3-0 with a 2.05 ERA in 35 appearances after joining the Yankees.

A 32nd-round draft pick by Kansas City in 2014, Hill is 20-14 with a 3.99 ERA and four saves in 382 career games (no starts) with the Royals (2018-19), San Diego Padres (2020-23), White Sox and Yankees.
