The Yankees were busy this afternoon, swinging a deal with the Rays and rejiggering their roster in the process. The club announced they’d sent right-handed pitcher David McKay to the Rays in exchange for cash considerations, while also optioning Clarke Schmidt to Triple-A and adding Albert Abreu to the active roster.
McKay had only joined the Yankees from the Rays this April, appearing in two games in pinstripes before getting sent back to Tampa. He didn’t allow a run in two innings, so he’s tied at the moment for the lowest ERA in franchise history.
