The Yankees return Tommy Kahn to MLB free agency


The Yankees are bringing in a familiar face to bolster their bullpen.

The team is signing right-hander Tommy Kahnle to a two-year, $11.5 million contract, The Post’s Jon Heyman and Joel Sherman report.

Kahnle, 33, had a 2.84 ERA in 13 games for the Dodgers in 2022, striking out 14 in 1 2/3 innings. He made just one appearance in 2020 and missed the entire 2021 season after undergoing Tommy John surgery.

The Yankees acquired Kahnle from the White Sox in July 2017. In 129 games for them, Kahnle had a 4.01 ERA with 157 strikeouts in 112 1/3 innings.

Kahnle was originally selected in the fifth round by the Yankees in the 2010 draft, but was selected by the Rockies in the 2013 Rule 5 draft.
