Yankees Claim Bido Off Waivers, DFA Shewmake

The New York Yankees added right-handed pitcher Osvaldo Bido to their 40-man roster on Thursday by claiming him off waivers from the Los Angeles Angels, designating infielder Braden Shewmake for assignment in a corresponding move.

Bido, a 30-year-old veteran, marks the fifth team to claim him this offseason without him appearing in a game for any of them. The Angels had designated him for assignment last week after acquiring left-hander Jayvien Sandridge from the Yankees, prompting the need to clear space on their roster. Prior to that, Bido had been claimed by the Atlanta Braves on December 5, the Tampa Bay Rays on December 19, and the Miami Marlins on January 16. He originally signed with the Pittsburgh Pirates as an international free agent out of the Dominican Republic in 2017 and made his major league debut with them in 2023.

Over three MLB seasons split between the Pirates and the Oakland Athletics, Bido has compiled a 9-13 record with a 5.07 ERA in 58 appearances, including 28 starts. He recorded 179 strikeouts and 82 walks across 193.2 innings. In 2025 with the Athletics, Bido posted a 5.87 ERA with 68 strikeouts in 79.2 innings over 26 outings, 10 of which were starts....
