Yankees Activate Pitcher Bryan Mitchell Off 60-Day Disabled List
The New York Yankees announced they have activated pitcher Bryan Mitchell off of the 60-day disabled list and optioned him to Triple-A Scranton Wilkes-Barre.
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.
