After a short start by Jhony Brito in a frustrating 6-1 loss to the Minnesota Twins last night, the Yankees had to burn through plenty of relievers to get themselves through the rough loss. Greg Weissert shouldered the burden of tossing 2 IPs, which would have made him unavailable for the next couple of days. Thus, the Yankees optioned him for a fresh arm. Nick Ramirez was brought in on a MiLB deal, and with the Yankees needing multi-inning insurance in the backend of their bullpen, Ramirez was promoted in Weissert’s place.
