The New York Yankees designated another former Los Angeles Dodgers reliever for assignment on Sunday, the team confirmed on X (formerly Twitter).
Phil Bickford’s minor league contract was selected to New York’s roster on June 21, and the veteran righty allowed eight earned runs over five innings in five appearances. In a corresponding move, the Yankees selected the contract of Josh Maciejewski from Triple-A.
The majority of the damage done against Bickford came on Saturday when he was charged for five runs in just two-thirds of an inning of relief work in the Yankees’ 9-3 loss to the Toronto Blue Jays.
