The New York Yankees signed veteran right-hander Adam Ottavino and added him to the active roster Tuesday.
Financial terms of the deal with the 39-year-old New York City native were not disclosed.
Ottavino, who pitched for the Yankees from 2019-20, spent the past three seasons with the crosstown Mets.
He signed a minor league contract with the Boston Red Sox on Feb. 18 but exercised an opt-out on March 23.
Ottavino was 2-2 with a 4.34 ERA and one save in 60 relief appearances with the Mets last season.
He is 41-43 with a 3.49 ERA and 46 saves in 724 career games (three starts) with the St. Louis Cardinals (2010), Colorado Rockies (2012-18), Yankees, Red Sox (2021) and Mets.
To make room for Ottavino, the Yankees transferred right-hander JT Brubaker (left rib fractures) to the 60-day injured list and placed right-hander Devin Williams on the paternity list.
