O Yankees announced a flurry of roster changes ahead of Tuesday’s series opener of a massive three-game set with the second-place Baltimore Orioles in the Bronx.
New York put RHP Ian Hamilton (right lateral deformation) and RHP Cody Poteet (right triceps strain) on the 15-day IL.
Hamilton is expected to face an extended absence as he will be sidelined from pitching for three to four weeks and then need to return to work after that.
Poteet may return a little sooner as he is expected to be closed for one to two weeks before being re-evaluated. With Gerrit Cole returning to the Yankees rotation Wednesday night against Baltimore, it’s unclear exactly what his role will be moving forward.
In a pair of matching roster moves, New York is calling up the lefty Anthony 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 by a 100 mph line drive during a game against the Pittsburgh Pirates.
He returned to the mound this season and pitched well with Scranton/Wilkes-Barre, posting a 3.23 ERA and a 1.14 WHIP with 37 strikeouts in 23 starts.
Andrews, on the other hand, has struggled to the tune of a 16.42 ERA in 21 major and minor league starts this season after being acquired in a deal with the Brewers.
