Career

Acevedo signed with the New York Yankees as an international free agent in 2012 for a $7,500 signing bonus.[1] He made his professional debut in 2013 with the Dominican Summer League Yankees where he had a 1-2 win-loss record and a 2.63 earned run average (ERA) in 11 games (ten starts) and spent 2014 with the Gulf Coast Yankees[2] where he pitched to a 0-1 record and 4.11 ERA in only five starts. Acevedo started 2015 with the Charleston RiverDogs, making one start before going on the disabled list. When he returned from injury he was sent to the Staten Island Yankees.[3] In 12 starts between the two teams he compiled a 3-0 record, 1.81 ERA, and 1.11 WHIP. He started 2016 with Charleston,[4] and later joined the Tampa Yankees. He finished 2016 with a 5-4 record and a 2.61 ERA in 18 combined starts between the two teams.

Acevedo began the 2017 season with Tampa and was promoted to the Trenton Thunder[5] and Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders throughout the season. He appeared in the 2017 All-Star Futures Game.[6] In 23 combined starts between Tampa, Trenton and Scranton/Wilkes-Barre Acevedo was 6-6 with a 3.25 ERA.[7] The Yankees added him to their 40-man roster after the season.[8]

In 2018, Acevedo began the season with Trenton. He spent six weeks on the disabled list due to a blister.[9] The Yankees promoted him to the major leagues on July 21, but in only a few hours, he was optioned back to Double-A.[10]
