Prior to Saturday’s doubleheader, the New York Yankees made a handful of roster moves.
The Bronx Bombers announced that they have placed Kyle Higashioka on the 10-day injured list, retroactive to August 6. The 30-year-old backup catcher was diagnosed with a right oblique strain.

In his first full season as the team’s backup catcher, Higashioka has appeared in three games.
