He yankees announced a series of roster moves ahead of Tuesday’s series opener of a huge three-game series with the second-place Baltimore Orioles in the Bronx.
New York placed RHP Ian Hamilton (right lateral strain) and RHP Cody Poteet (right triceps strain) in the 15-day IL.
Hamilton is expected to face a bit of a lengthy layoff, as he won’t be able to pitch for three or four weeks, and then will have to get back on track after that.
It’s possible that Poteet could return a little sooner, as he’s expected to remain inactive for a week or two before being re-evaluated. With Gerritt Cole Returning to the Yankees’ rotation on Wednesday night against Baltimore, it is unknown exactly what his role will be moving forward.
In a pair of corresponding roster moves, New York calls up the lefty Antonio Misiewicz and right-handed Clayton Andrews from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre.
Misiewicz had a brief stint with the club last season, appearing in three games before missing the rest of the season after being hit in the head with a 100 mph line drive during a game against the Pittsburgh Pirates.
He has returned to the mound this season and has pitched well with Scranton/Wilkes-Barre, posting a 3.23 ERA and 1.14 WHIP with 37 strikeouts in 23 appearances.
Andrews, on the other hand, has struggled with a 16.42 ERA in 21 starts in the major and minor leagues this season after being acquired in a deal with the Brewers.
