The New York Yankees welcomed back a familiar face as lefty reliever Zack Britton was activated from the injured list. Britton was activated along with backup catcher Kyle Higashioka. However, the Yankees also kept veteran backup Erik Kratz on the roster.

Following last night's game, the Yankees optioned RHP Miguel Yajure to the Alternate Site.

Prior to today's game, the Yankees reinstated LHP Zack Britton (#53) and C Kyle Higashioka (#66) from the 10-day injured list and designated INF Jordy Mercer for assignment.
