OAKLAND, Calif. — The announcement Wednesday the Yankees’ top prospect, Deivi Garcia, was being moved from the rotation at Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre to the bullpen full-time could lead to the right-hander arriving in The Bronx when rosters expand on Sept. 1.

“Maybe,’’ general manager Brian Cashman said via text when asked if the move was designed with the 20-year-old being groomed to join the Yankees this season as a reliever. “[We] will evaluate.’’

After starting at Single-A Tampa, Double-A Trenton and SWB, Garcia’s last outing was a five-inning, no-hit stint out of the bullpen against Gwinnett this past Saturday night. He fanned seven and walked five after Ben Heller was the opener in a rehab outing.

Garcia, who has been compared to Hall of Famer Pedro Martinez and Mets pitcher Marcus Stroman, is 5-9 with a 4.51 ERA in 22 games. Most impressive is that in a career-high 103 ²/₃ innings, the 5-foot-9, 163-pounder from the Dominican Republic, armed with a 94-97 mph fastball and three above-average offspeed pitches, has fanned 154 and walked 51.

Before this season, Garcia’s highest innings total was the 74 he worked last year at three minor league levels, none higher than Double-A.
