Yankees demote struggling reliever, promote rookie starter

With the deadline approaching, the news that Jhony Brito had a locker in the Yankees‘ clubhouse was certainly puzzling. The corresponding move is official, it’s Ron Marinaccio who gets the axe as he’s sent down to Triple-A to presumably work on the issues he had been having lately.

Following a season where he was one of the best relievers in the sport, Marinaccio has been ineffective and unreliable for the Yankees, and with their depth in the bullpen, they could sustain having him work through issues in Scranton rather than do so with the big league club.
