The Yankees deemed pitcher Bryan Mitchell ready for regular duty Thursday, activating him from the 60-day disabled list after four August rehab appearances. The team had an open 40-man roster spot, so no additional move was required.
Mitchell has gotten knocked around this month, which is to be expected after missing the majority of the 2016 season. He has a lot of rust to shake off, and likely the organization is not too worried about results at this point.
Three days after being told he had made the big league club out of spring training for the first time in his young career, Mitchell fractured a bone in his foot covering first base in a Grapefruit League game.
