Prior to tonight’s game, the @Yankees returned from rehab and reinstated @t_masahiro18 from the 10-day disabled list.

Tanaka has been sidelinded since June 9 after straining both of his hamstrings while running the bases. In 13 starts this season, the righty is 7-2 with a 4.58 ERA.

In other pitching news, David Hale was designated for assignment back on July 7th. Rather than accepting an outright assignment, he has elected to become a free agent.
