Well we could see this one coming a mile away, it was just a question of who would be called up. Kevin Russo is your newest bench player, promoted in favor of Greg Golson and Chad Huffman. As you know, he’s capable of playing pretty much everywhere in the field, and at the very least works the count well offensively. Mark Melancon was sent back down to make room on the roster, which was obviously going to happen following yesterday’s 37 pitch outing.One of these days he’ll stick, I’m sure of it.
The moves get the Yanks down to seven relievers and four bench players, though the availability of Nick Swisher (wrist) and Marcus Thames (ankle) is still up in the air. Hooray for normalcy.
