Yankees Call-Up Tyler Wade Took Two-Hour Uber to Reach Game

Tyler Wade was reportedly "very" unhappy when he wasn't named to the Yankees' Opening Day roster last week. But when the chance for him to rejoin New York's major league squad on Monday, he wasted no time.

Even if that meant riding in an Uber for over two hours all the way from Scranton, Penn., to the Bronx.

With Yankees third baseman Miguel Andujar out due to a small labrum tear in his right shoulder, New York called up Wade from its Triple-A affiliate, the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders, ahead of Monday's game against the Tigers.
