NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) — If someone told you back in April that Jonathan Holder would have a roster spot on June 5, and Tommy Kahnle wouldn’t, you would probably have laughed out loud.
Well, keep a straight face because it’s reality.
The Yankees sent a message to their entire bullpen on Monday by sending the struggling Kahnle down to Triple-A Scanton/Wilkes Barre to make room for right-hander Adam Warren, who had missed the previous six weeks due to a strained back. Holder, who was once the man in the ‘pen, has turned himself into a trusted arm with a string of solid outings.
