Following the completion of the 2008 minor league season, Cervelli was called up to the Yankees. He made his major league debut on September 18, 2008, as a defensive replacement. He went 0-5 in his brief time in the majors.
He was called up by the Yankees on May 5, 2009, when Jorge Posadawas placed on the 15-day disabled list, though he was batting only .190, with a .266 On-base Percentage and .310 Slugging Percentage at Double-A Trenton at the time of the call-up, and had not played in Triple-A. He made his first major league start on May 7, after Jose Molinainjured his quad. He recorded his first major league hit, a single, on May 8, against the Baltimore Orioles, while also catching for pitcher CC Sabathiaduring a complete game shutout. Cervelli asserted himself as a reliable defensive catcher for the New York Yankees, and has received substantial praise from his teammates.He is one of only a handful of players, including fellow Yankee catcher Jorge Posada, not to wear batting gloves.
On June 24th, 2009, Cervelli hit his first major league home run against Kris Medlenof the Atlanta Braves, breaking up a no hitter.
