PORT ST. LUCIE — The Yankees are adding an AL East veteran to their bullpen.
The club is signing lefty Ryan Yarbrough to a major league deal, The Post confirmed on Monday, to take one of the remaining spots in their bullpen on the Opening Day roster.
Yarbrough, 33, had been in camp with the Blue Jays but opted out of his minor league deal.
The longtime Ray split last year between the Dodgers and Blue Jays, posting a 3.19 ERA across 98 ⅔ innings and 44 games.
Though he is not a strikeout pitcher, Yarbrough should offer some length in relief and serve as a second lefty with Tim Hill.
Yarbrough will likely push lefty Brent Headrick or righty Yerry De Los Santos to the minors to start the season.
Yoendrys Gomez is also competing for one of the last spots, but he is out of minor league options, making it likely he is on the roster.
