The New York Yankees recalled right-handed pitcher Jhony Brito from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre to start Monday night's game against the visiting Tampa Bay Rays in place of scheduled starter Domingo German.
German was scheduled to be on the mound for the series opener in New York, but he's experiencing some discomfort in his armpit area, per manager Aaron Boone.
New York optioned right-handed reliever Ron Marinaccio to Triple-A in a corresponding roster move.
German, 30, is 5-7 with a 4.77 ERA over 19 starts this season. He is 0-2 with a 5.
