BUFFALO — Mike Ford is no longer a Yankee.

The first baseman was traded to the Rays on Thursday for cash considerations and a player to be named later. He will report to Triple-A Durham.

Ford, who will turn 29 next month, was designated for assignment last week, and struggled in both The Bronx and Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre.

The Yankees signed Ford out of Princeton, and he displayed lefty power and plate discipline when he was called up in 2019. He had 12 homers and an OPS of .909 that season.

But the success was short-lived, as Ford was dreadful last season and not much better this year, going just 8-for-60 with 23 strikeouts in 72 plate appearances.

“He’s a talented guy who I think can be a good hitter in this league,’’ manager Aaron Boone said. “Now he turns into someone we might have to get out. We’ve seen him go through some really good stretches, especially in 2019. He’s still talented. He just struggled the last couple years.”

Despite injuries to Luke Voit and the retirement of Jay Bruce, Ford was unable to earn consistent playing time. The Yankees promoted Chris Gittens from SWB last week, and he’s been the primary first baseman of late.

Voit is on a rehab assignment and is expected to be back from a strained oblique by early next week.

While they wait for his return, DJ LeMahieu and Gittens continue to split time at first.

After Giancarlo Stanton expressed hope he’d be ready to play in the outfield by the time the Yankees next visit a National League park with no DH, Boone said they have spoken about getting him to play defense, but nothing is mapped out yet.

The Yankees don’t visit an NL stadium until they go to Miami at the end of July.

“We definitely want it to be at least an option, whether it’s interleague or we get to a point where he can spell [someone] a day in right field at Yankee Stadium.”

After playing in front of mostly Yankee fans for three games at Sahlen Field, Aaron Judge said he’s looking forward to increased capacity in The Bronx on Friday, when they face the A’s.

“I hope it’s sold out,’’ Judge said. “Everyone’s been waiting for this.”

Darren O’Day continues to make progress from a strained rotator cuff, and if he gets through another bullpen with no issues, Boone said he could be ready to begin a rehab assignment.

The Yankees are set to face Oakland’s James Kaprielian on Friday. Kaprielian was the team’s first-round pick in 2015 and was part of the trade that brought Sonny Gray to the Yankees in 2017. His career has been sidetracked by injuries.

The Yankees will highlight this year’s recipients of the Yankees-Stonewall Scholarship Initiative on Friday, which awards $50,000 worth of college scholarships to a graduating high school senior from each of the five boroughs.
