The Yankees have called up right-hander Chris Leroux from Triple-A Scranton to give the team a fresh long man, they announced. Bryan Mitchell was sent down in a corresponding move. The Yankees had two open 40-man roster spots, so they don’t need to do anything else to accommodate Leroux.
Leroux started and threw 73 pitches for the RailRiders three days ago, so he’ll be available for lots and lots of innings if need be. Hopefully not, unless the Yankees are winning in a blowout. (Like that will ever happen.) Safe to say Leroux is only keeping the roster spot warm until Wednesday, when Michael Pineda makes his hopefully triumphant return to the rotation.
