The Yankees announced five roster moves prior to today’s game with the Orioles. As expected, Josh Donaldson was placed on the 10-day injured list (retroactive to April 6) due to a right hamstring strain and right-hander Jhony Brito was called up from Triple-A to make his scheduled start against Baltimore. New York also placed righty Jonathan Loaisiga on the 15-day IL with a retroactive April 6 date, as Loaisiga is suffering from right elbow inflammation. In corresponding moves, the Yankees selected Willie Calhoun‘s contract from Triple-A and officially signed him to a big league deal, while Tommy Kahnle was moved to the 60-day IL to create space for Calhoun on the 40-man roster.
Kahnle’s move came just 2 days after Boone lied to the media and said his rehab was going well. Gee..whoever would’ve thought that a guy who’s thrown 13 innings in 3 years due to injury would be an injury risk? No worries, he’s got a 2 year contract. Loaisiga’s elbow will certainly take more than 15 days to heal.

Uh oh, here we go with the injuries. They always seem to happen in bushelfuls, so watch out.
ReplyDeleteTommy Kahnle: why? Why would they bring him back? I can only think that they don't have the scouting to find a more suitable younger pitcher.

Greg Weissert, your Uber’s outside.
Johnny Lasagna is a big loss. Kahnle...not so much. But as 999 says, the crazy thing is why Cashman would re-sign this guy.
ReplyDeleteCashman is close to an all-time low.
Let's bing up JR Sears, then. He is better than Johnny Lasagne anyway.
