As I hinted at last night, Garrett Jones is back w/ Yankees. He was outrighted and elected FA and re-signed with Yanks. Activated for tonite

Well that didn’t take long. The Yankees have solved the temporary short bench problem I described earlier by re-signing Garrett Jones. According to Jack Curry, he was re-signed to his original contract terms, so he’s owed about $1.8 mil for the remainder of the season.
The Yankees will have to make a roster move to clear a spot, and Curry suspects it will be either Branden Pinder or Caleb Cotham.
