The Yankees have shuffled things around a bit ahead of tonight’s matchup with the Astros. They announced this afternoon that Ian Hamilton would hit the IL with a right groin strain, and that Greg Weissert would be recalled from Triple-A Scranton to take his place.
The right-handed Hamilton has been a bit of a revelation in the Yankee bullpen, posting a stellar 2.24 ERA (194 ERA+) in 52.1 innings of work. However, he did hit the IL earlier this year with the same injury, so it appears he may have something of a chronic problem here.
