News:
The Yankees have claimed RHP Michael Tonkin off waivers from the Mets. To make room on the 40-man roster, they designated RHP McKinley Moore for assignment.
Tonkin has 192 games of MLB experience with the Twins, Braves, Twins (again), and Mets. He owns a 4.44 ERA (4.53 FIP) over 235.1 innings with a 23.1% K and 8.0% BB. Tonkin is out of options so he must go on the 26-man roster.
Moore, a hard-throwing reliever with no idea where the ball is going, is a major project. I am not sure if another organization will be willing to put him on their 40-man roster.
According to the Tampa roster page (and what better source is that?), SS George Lombard Jr. was placed on the 7-day injured list. He played a full game yesterday, so hopefully it isn’t a big deal. The 18-year-old is hitting .237/.438/.271 (130 wRC+) in 80 plate appearances with a 25% BB and 23.8% K.

CF Everson Pereira: 1-for-5, 2B (5), 3 RBI, RS, BB, K
The 3-run double was hit off of a 29-year-old infielder, so take it for what it is worth (we’ll forget this fact by tomorrow)
