Los New York Yankees They badly needed a fresh arm after Thursday’s starter, Jhonny Brito, only lasted two-thirds of the first inning before being squashed by the Minnesota Twins in the second. Big leagues.
The Yankees’ main Twitter account announced some moves, one of them being that they designated for assignment reliever Colton Brewer, whom they acquired earlier in the season from the Tampa Bay Rays.
Instead they called up reliever Greg Weissert from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre, who already got his first taste of the big team last season and left a good impression, posting a 5.56 ERA in 11.1 innings with 11 strikeouts.
Brewer was one of the pitchers called in to clean up some of the mess in Thursday’s game left by rookie Jhonny Brito, but he ended up giving up four runs on 3 home runs in 3 1/2 innings of work.
It should be noted that the Yankees they hope Brewer can pass waivers and remain in the organization. For a team that needs all the arms it can get, the Yankees don’t want to lose one of their pitchers because he had to eat innings.
