SEATTLE — The Yankees were notified reliever Cory Gearrin’s toe tap, ruled illegal Monday night by crew chief Sam Holbrook, with plate umpire Manny Gonzalez calling the right-hander for a balk, would not be an issue in the future.
Holbrook said Gearrin wasn’t resetting his left foot with his delivery, which pitchers “are not allowed to do.’’
“It should not be an issue moving forward,” Aaron Boone said. “But it’s something we are going to have to be proactive whether it is the start of the series making sure we are communicating. We have gotten from the league what he is doing should be OK.
