Carlos Rodón, Billy McKinney swap places on IL as Yanks call up Peraza, Pereira

We knew a bunch of moves would be coming today, after yesterday’s news that the Yankees would call up both Oswald Peraza and Everson Pereira. To add to that, left-hander Carlos Rodón was activated off the IL and will make the start tonight in the Yankees’ series opener with the Nationals.

Per Jack Curry and others, we can expect that both Peraza and Pereira will see plenty of playing time in the season’s final month. The corresponding moves to get those guys on the roster only solidify Pereira’s role as a starting outfielder, with Greg Allen designated for assignment and Billy McKinney moved to the 10-day IL due to back spasms.
