  • Yankees recall Clayton Andrews on Tuesday
    Yankees recalled LHP Clayton Andrews from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre.

    Advice: Andrews provides New York’s bullpen with some extra fortification heading into Tuesday’s showdown against the division-rival Orioles. The 27-year-old lefty has made only one relief appearance this season in the big leagues. Rotoworld 17 minutes ago
     
  • Cleared for rehab assignment
    Effross (back) will begin a rehab assignment with Single-A Tampa on Wednesday, Gary Phillips of the New York Daily News reports.

    Advice: Effross hasn't pitched since 2022 due to Tommy John and back surgeries. He'll need time to knock the rust off but could be a weapon in the second half for the Yankees if he can regain his pre-surgery sharpness. Effross posted a 2.78 ERA and 80:16 K:BB over 71.1 innings from 2021-22 with the Cubs and Yankees. Rotowire.com 17 minutes ago
     
  • Yankees put Cody Poteet on IL with triceps strain
    Yankees placed RHP Cody Poteet on the 15-day injured list with a right triceps strain.

    Advice: No word yet on how long Poteet will be sidelined as he’s pitched extremely well in a handful of starts with a pristine 2.14 ERA, 1.05 WHIP and 13/7 K/BB ratio across 21 innings (four starts). It’ll be Gerrit Cole taking his spot later this week in New York’s starting rotation. Any extended absence would be a hit to the Yankees’ pitching depth. Rotoworld 18 minutes ago

  • Yankees put Ian Hamilton on IL with lat strain
    Yankees placed RHP Ian Hamilton on the 15-day injured list with a right lat strain.

    Advice: Nothing official yet, but it certainly sounds like Hamilton will require a lengthy absence. The 29-year-old righty has been a key high-leverage option for New York this season, even if he hasn’t come close to replicating last year’s stellar Yankees debut. Rotoworld 20 minutes ago

  • Out with strained triceps
    The Yankees placed Poteet on the 15-day injured list Tuesday with a right triceps strain, Gary Phillips of the New York Daily News reports.

    Advice: Poteet will be shut down from throwing for 1-to-2 weeks before being re-evaluated. He's fared well in four starts with the Yankees this season, posting a 2.14 ERA and 13:7 K:BB over 21 innings. However, with Gerrit Cole (elbow) due back this week, Poteet's future role was looking uncertain. Rotowire.com 22 minutes ago

  • Placed on IL with lat strain
    The Yankees placed Hamilton on the 15-day injured list Tuesday with a right lat strain, Gary Phillips of the New York Daily News reports.

    Advice: Hamilton will be shut down from throwing for 3-to-4 weeks and will need time to ramp back up after that, so it's going to be an extended absence. It's not clear how long Hamilton's lat had been bothering him, but he had been struggling lately in allowing eight runs (seven earned) over his last four appearances. Rotowire.com 25 minutes ago

    Advice: Villalobos heads to Detroit as extra organizational relief depth after making three relief appearances earlier this year for the Marlins. The 26-year-old righty elected free agency earlier this month following his removal from Miami’s 40-man roster. Rotoworld 44 minutes ago

    The Rangers optioned Winn to Triple-A Round Rock on Tuesday.

    Advice: Winn pitched in the past two games after being recalled by Texas on Sunday, and he'll return to the minors after he gave up four runs across three innings. He's made 13 appearances in the big leagues this year and has a 7.79 ERA across 17.1 innings. Rotowire.com 44 minutes ago
