The New York Yankees have announced that they have recalled Luis Cessa from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre. Cessa is scheduled to start Wednesday’s contest against the Tampa Bay Rays.

For the time being, Cessa will take CC Sabathia‘s place in the rotation. Sabathia was placed on the disabled list on Monday due to right knee inflammation.

The Yankees had a few internal options to fill the rotation void, such as Chance Adams and Justus Sheffield. Manager Aaron Boone said that Cessa’s experience played a factor in the decision to insert him in the rotation.
