Yankees claim right-handed pitcher Jake Barrett from Pirates

Another day, another Yankees injury. This time it was the oft-injured Troy Tulowitzki. And so, that makes 10 different Bombers already on the injured list.

This MASH unit has played a large part in the club’s less than stellar start and losing record. However, we’re just seven games into the season, and no one is ready to wave the white flag.

So with that, the Yankees claimed 27-year-old right-hander Jake Barrett off waivers from the Pittsburgh Pirates. To make room for Barrett on the 40-man roster, the Yanks moved Ben Heller, who is currently recovering from Tommy John surgery to the 60-day injured list.
