The New York Yankees designated Rule 5 pick Cade Winquest for assignment after the pitcher spent two weeks in the bullpen without appearing in a game.

Winquest allowed nine runs (eight earned) with eight strikeouts and four walks across 10 innings in spring training. The 25-year-old combined for a 3.99 ERA across 106 innings between High-A and Double-A in the 2025 season while working as a minor league starting pitcher in the Cardinals organization.
The Yankees selected Winquest as a Rule 5 pick from the Cardinals organization during the 2026 offseason. The move corresponds with the recall of Luis Gil. The Yankees have five days to trade Winquest or place him on waivers, and if he goes unclaimed, he will be offered back to the Cardinals.
