The New York Yankees added recently acquired right-handed pitcher Enyel De Los Santos to the active roster Friday as they prepare to open a three-game series against the visiting Toronto Blue Jays.

De Los Santos was shipped to the Yankees on Tuesday in a trade-deadline deal with the San Diego Padres. The Yankees also acquired minor league right-hander Thomas Balboni Jr. from the Padres for minor league outfielder Brandon Lockridge.

De Los Santos, 28, was in his first season with the Padres and went 1-2 with one save and a 4.46 ERA over 44 appearances (40 1/3 innings).

He had two stellar years with the Cleveland Guardians before being traded west last offseason; De Los Santos went 10-2 with a 3.18 ERA in 120 relief appearances for Cleveland in 2022-23.

The Yankees enter Friday night's game tied with the Baltimore Orioles for first place in the American League East.
