The New York Yankees released their spring training non-roster invitees for 2026 on Thursday evening, and top pitching prospect Ben Hess is officially getting his first taste of MLB camp.
A reminder that this list is exclusively the special invitees who'll be joining camp and aren't on the 40-man roster. 40-man-protected prospects like Spencer Jones and Elmer Rodriguez will also definitely be there. So will recent waiver claims Osvaldo Bido and Yanquiel Fernández, in case you were sitting on the edge of your seat about those decisions. So will, of course, Aaron Judge and the starters — at least, before they head off to the World Baseball Classic.
