Clayton Davis Andrews (born January 4, 1997) is an American professional baseball pitcher in the New York Yankees organization. He has previously played in Major League Baseball (MLB) for the Milwaukee Brewers.

Amateur career[edit]

Andrews attended Maria Carrillo High School, graduating in 2015.[1] He attended Cabrillo College and was drafted by the Los Angeles Dodgers in the 40th round of the 2017 Major League Baseball (MLB) draft. He did not sign and attended California State University, Long Beach, where he played college baseball for the Long Beach State Dirtbags as a two-way player.[2][3]

Professional career[edit]

The Milwaukee Brewers selected Andrews in the 17th round, with the 515th overall selection, of the 2018 Major League Baseball draft, and he signed. Andrews spent his first professional season with the rookie–level Helena Brewers and Single–A Wisconsin Timber Rattlers, recording a cumulative 6–1 record and 2.18 ERA across 19 contests.[4]

In seven games for Nashville, Andrews posted a 4.82 ERA with 11 strikeouts across 9+1⁄3 innings pitched.[8] In 2022, Andrews played in nine games split between Double–A Biloxi and rookie–level Arizona Complex League Brewers, struggling to a 7.84 ERA with 19 strikeouts across 10+1⁄3 innings of work.[9]

On July 1, 2023, Andrews was selected to the 40-man roster and promoted to the major leagues for the first time.[10] In four appearances for Milwaukee, he struggled to a 27.00 ERA with four strikeouts across 3+1⁄3 innings of work. Andrews was designated for assignment by the Brewers on February 7, 2024.[11]

New York Yankees[edit]

On February 14, 2024, the Brewers traded Andrews to the New York Yankees in exchange for Joshua Quezada.[12] He was optioned to the Triple–A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders to begin the 2024 season.[13] On April 8, Andrews was designated for assignment following the promotion of Josh Maciejewski.[14] He cleared waivers and was sent outright to Triple–A on April 13.[15]
