In two minor league seasons (2019, ’21), the left-hander has gone 2-2 with one save and a 2.62 ERA (75.2IP, 68H, 29R/22ER, 32BB, 70K, 0HR) in 26 appearances (19 starts).

Additionally, he went 3-4 with a 3.81 ERA (52.0IP, 50H, 31R/22ER, 29BB, 62K, 6HR) in 29 appearances (five starts) with Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre. The Panama City, Fla., native saw his first Major League action in 2020, making 11 relief appearances, going 1-0 with a 4.79 ERA (20.2IP, 11ER). Over his two Major League seasons, he has a 1-2 record with a 6.43 ERA (35.0IP, 25ER) and 40K in 22 appearances (two starts). He was originally drafted by the Yankees in the fourth round of the 2016 First-Year Player Draft.
Sands, 25, split the 2021 season with Double-A Somerset and Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre, combining to hit .261/.326/.466 (89-for-341) with 47R, 16 doubles, 18HR, 56RBI and 32BB in 94 games.
