The Yankees on Saturday recalled right-hander Domingo Acevedo from Double-A Trenton ahead of their matinee against the Mets in the Bronx. Acevedo is the club's No. 7 prospect, per MLB Pipeline.
Acevedo takes the roster spot of right-hander Domingo German, who was optioned to Triple-A Scranton-Wilkes Barre after taking the loss in the Subway Series opener on Friday. German gave up four runs on five hits and two walks over 3 2/3 innings in the start.
Acevedo, who has yet to make his MLB debut, is expected to work out of the bullpen, with Luis Cessa taking over German's spot in the rotation.
