The New York Yankees wasted no time tweaking their active roster following a major road win to take a three game set over the Houston Astros. Less than 15 minutes after an 8-4 victory over the Astros on Thursday, the team announced that catcher JC Escarra had been optioned to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre.

Escarra has spent all season going back and forth from Scranton the New York. With the Yankees, Escarra is slashing a .202/ .296/ .333 in 40 games with two home runs and 11 RBIs.

8/20/25	Yankees Catching Situation Takes Unexpected Turn. J.C. Escarra's demotion didn't alter Austin Wells' role with the Yankees, despite Aaron Boone not having announced it. It's a far cry from where Wells was last year. With Jose Trevino's bat nonexistent, Wells inevitably stepped up as the primary catcher in 2024.

7/12/25	Yankees Catcher Drawing Significant Trade Interest. The New York Yankees will primarily be adding to their major league roster at the trade deadline, though perhaps there's a chance that they'll subtract from that group as well. According to the New York Post's Joel Sherman, J.C. Escarra has drawn substantial interest around the league, marking a second-straight deadline in which opposing organizations have called Yankees general manager Brian Cashman about the 30-year-old. "And keep in mind that Cashman was getting calls about Escarra as early as last trade deadline — before the general world knew he had re-risen from Uber driver to potential major leaguer."

7/02/25	Yankees Catcher Gets Brutally Honest After Loss. The New York Yankees took their latest beating in Toronto on Canada Day, and catcher J.C. Escarra is taking the blame. Escarra's catcher's interference call, his second in two games and third this season, was costly for the Yankees in a seventh inning that ultimately saw the Blue Jays jump from a 4-4 tie to a 9-4 lead. Relief pitcher Luke Weaver had just replaced Mark Leiter Jr. on the mound and was pitching to Blue Jays infielder Addison Barger, his first batter of the game.

Try it free TORONTO — Yankees catchers are among the best in the game at stealing strikes and framing pitches. But the potential downside of that skill came back to bite them Tuesday for a second straight game as J.C. Escarra's catcher's interference loomed large in a 12-5 loss to the Blue Jays at Rogers Centre . With runners on first and second and one out in a tie game in the bottom of the seventh, Luke Weaver thought he had a called third strike on Addison Barger.

6/27/25	Yankees still playing with short roster as Athletics series begins. The Yankees have 26 players on their active roster for Friday night's series opener against the Athletics, only 25 of them are with the team and there's a chance that only 24 are truly available. Backup catcher J.C. Escarra is unofficially on the paternity list. Reliever Jonathan Loáisiga is still out of commission as well. The Yankees considered putting Escarra on the paternity list, calling up a player from Triple-A for the few days he's away from the team, but they ultimately decided against it.

6/25/25	Yankees Place Catcher on Paternity List. Catcher J.C. Escarra will be absent from the New York Yankees' third game against the Cincinnati Reds tonight, to attend the birth of his first child. According to MLB's Bryan Hoch, Escarra was expected to play tonight until his wife went into labor, and the team is unable to get another player to Cincinnati to sub for him with so little time before the game. Escarra has been a success at catcher this season, giving a particularly solid performance against the Baltimore Orioles on Saturday, providing support to Clarke Schmidt through seven hitless innings and hitting a home run himself. Yankees manager Aaron Boone gave him a shoutout in a post-game interview. Source: https://www.si.com/mlb/yankees/news/new-york-yanke...

6/18/25	Yankees' struggling hitters didn't have meeting, but know bats must 'wake up'. Asked if the Yankees had any sort of postgame meeting after their lineup's scoreless streak reached 29 innings in Tuesday's 4-0 loss to the Angels, J.C. Escarra worried he had missed an important gathering. If a meeting had taken place, no one invited the backup catcher, he told the Daily News. “It wasn't like that,” Cody Bellinger told The News before Wednesday's game.

5/27/25	Here's proof Yankees' ex-Uber driver is more than feel-good story of season. The Yankees' player of the game belt, a treasured prize that players hand out in the clubhouse after every victory, was displayed on a chair in front of the first locker to the left of the main entrance after a long Denver Sunday of rain and baseball at Coors Field. Standing there with a crowd of reporters in his space and a smile on his face was the hitting star of a 5-4 Yankees win over the Rockies. Rookie catcher J.C. Escarra's first career three-hit game included a run-scoring double in the second inning and RBI single in the eighth, the first an opposite-field liner to left and the next a pulled liner to right. “The major leagues, it's everything it's hyped up to be and I'm blessed to do it with the New York Yankees,” Escarra said with a grin.

5/26/25	Fresh off 'surreal' performance, Yankees and J.C. Escarra open series vs. Angels. The New York Yankees have won six of their past seven games heading into the opener of a three-game series against the Los Angeles Angels on Monday in Anaheim, Calif. J.C. Escarra recorded the first three-hit performance of his career and added two RBIs as New York claimed a series victory with a 5-4 win over the Colorado Rockies on Sunday.

5/25/25	Yankees withstand rain delay, late Rockies rally to take rubber match. Up 4-2 in the fifth inning, the New York Yankees and Colorado Rockies paused for a rain delay at Coors Field that lasted one hour and 46 minutes. When play resumed, the Rockies got a run back and the Yankees were suddenly on the verge of losing the lead, and potentially the series to the lowly Colorado club. J.C.

Escarra is a well-told tale of resilience — flaming out as an infielder in the Orioles system, bouncing from independent league teams in the United States and Mexico while determined to prove himself and reinvent himself as a catcher, which he did and which caught the Yankees' eye.
