Garrett Jones is back in the Bronx! After being designated for assignment on July 31 to make room for newly acquired Dustin Ackley, Jones returns to the Yankees to replace the injured Ackley.
As I hinted at last night, Garrett Jones is back w/ Yankees. He was outrighted and elected FA and re-signed with Yanks. Activated for tonite
Jones went unclaimed through the waiver wire and instead of being outrighted to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre, elected free agency. Well five days later, he is back with the Bombers.
The Yankees believed Ackley brought more versatility to the team and therefore felt comfortable letting go of Jones.
