Instead of getting ready to add Ian Hamilton to the major league roster, the Yankees are facing some uncertainty in the bullpen after the right-hander was scratched Friday night from what was expected to be his last rehab outing.

Hamilton reportedly experienced back spasms and did not appear in Friday night's game at Double-A Somerset. The 29-year-old reliever has been working his way back from a right lat strain since June.

Hamilton was recently placed on the 60-day injured list to create room on the 40-man roster for outfielder Duke Ellis, who was picked up off waivers from the Seattle Mariners on Monday.
