The New York Yankees have gotten the right-handed Zack Britton back on Monday, activating ground ball machine Clay Holmes from the COVID-19 IL.

Unfortunately, it cost them the left-handed Zack Britton in exchange.

Whether a legitimate injury or not (it’s probably not a phantom stint…right?), Britton will head to the injured list with a left elbow sprain, retroactive to the last time he appeared on Aug.
