In need of depth, Yankees call up veteran RHP Carlos Carrasco

LOS ANGELES -- The New York Yankees, in need of a fresh arm after Saturday's blowout loss to the Los Angeles Dodgers, called up veteran right-hander Carlos Carrasco ahead of Sunday's series finale.

Right-hander Yerry De Los Santos was optioned to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre to make room on the active roster for Carrasco.

The 27-year-old De Los Santos, who has posted a 3.00 ERA in 12 innings across two stints with the Yankees this season, was one of six relievers the team used Saturday to cover 6 u2154 innings after also pitching in Friday's series opener.
