  • Removed from 40-man roster
    The Astros designated Henley for assignment Friday.

    Advice: A spot on the 40-man roster was required for the addition of Friday's starting pitcher, Jake Bloss. Henley was hammered in a spot start earlier this season, allowing five runs while recording just one out. He'll likely clear waivers. Rotowire.com 39 minutes ago

    Yankees selected the contract of RHP Phil Bickford from Triple-A Scranton Wilkes/Barre.

    Advice: Bickford had a 2.93 ERA and 35 strikeouts in 22 appearances in Triple-A. The Yankees needed a fresh arm in the bullpen and he’ll come up to replace Victor Gonzalez, who was designated for assignment. Rotoworld 52 minutes ago
     
  • Yankees DFA LHP Victor Gonzalez
    Yankees designated LHP Victor Gonzalez for assignment.

    Advice: Gonzalez had a 3.86 ERA in 27 appearances with New York, but the Yankees had a bit of a roster crunch and need a fresh arm after the 17-5 laugher that necessitated nearly eight full innings from the bullpen on Thursday. The Yankees will have seven days to either trade Gonzalez or place him on waivers. Rotoworld 54 minutes ago
     
  • Back in bullpen
    The Yankees recalled Gomez from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Friday.

    Advice: Gomez fanned the side in his lone appearance with the Yankees earlier this season. He's been used as a starter in the minors but figures to settle in as a long reliever in the majors this time around. Rotowire.com Today, 12:25 pm
     
  • Contract selected
    The Yankees selected Bickford's contract from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Friday.

    Advice: Bickford inked a minor-league deal with the Yankees back in April and has received a call-up to the big club after holding a 2.93 ERA and 35:12 K:BB across 27.2 frames with Scranton/Wilkes-Barre. He'll work the middle innings for the Yankees. Rotowire.com Today, 12:23 pm
     
  • Jettisoned from 40-man roster
    The Yankees designated Gonzalez for assignment Friday.

    Advice: Gonzalez was acquired via trade from the Dodgers over the offseason and didn't pitch well in pinstripes, holding a 3.86 ERA but an ugly 11:13 K:BB over 23.1 innings. The 28-year-old had a career 3.22 ERA and 86:31 K:BB in 89.1 innings coming into 2024, so there could be interest by way of waivers or trade. Rotowire.com Today, 12:21 pm
     
  • Sent on rehab assignment
    Perez (groin) will pitch for Triple-A Indianapolis on Saturday, Andrew Destin of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.

    Advice: Perez has been steadily progressing since being placed on the IL in late May with a strained left groin, and he will take what's likely the last step of his recovery by starting a rehab assignment. Per Kevin Gorman of TribLive.com, Perez is expected to throw roughly 75 pitches Saturday as his only rehab start. Prior to the injury, Perez held a 4.71 ERA and a 1.55 WHIP across 57.1 innings with Pittsburgh. Rotowire.com Today, 11:48 am
