TORONTO -- The Yankees placed Gregorio Petit on the 15-day disabled list with a bruised right hand on Wednesday ahead of their series finale against the Blue Jays, and they activated Jose Pirela in a corresponding roster move.
Petit was hit on the hand with a fastball as he struck out swinging late in Tuesday's win.
"They did the X-ray last night, it was negative," Yankees manager Joe Girardi said. "He's pretty sore today. It'll be a few days before he could play, so we DL'd him."
Pirela, the Yankees' No. 24 prospect, rejoined the team from his rehab assignment on Tuesday, so a roster move was expected.
