After last night’s loss to the Rays, the Yankees reportedly called Tommy Kahnle back up to the majors, and demoted Luis Cessa to Triple-A after a poor start. The move represents the latest shuffle in the Yankees bullpen, as the team is churning over the roster a bit at this point in the season to keep fresh arms available every night.
It has, of course, been a rough campaign for Kahnle. Expectations were high for the 28-year-old after a career year in 2017, but he came out of the gates with diminished velocity and quickly hit the disabled list.
