The Yankees introduced that Phil Bickford has rejoined the workforce on a brand new Main League contract, and the veteran righty has been chosen to the membership’s lively roster. Within the corresponding transfer, right-hander Michael Tonkin was designated for project.
Bickford first joined the Yankees on a minor league deal again in April, and after that contract was chosen to the massive league roster in late June, Bickford posted an ungainly 14.40 ERA in 5 innings over 5 appearances earlier than New York designated him for project. Upon clearing waivers in July, Bickford opted at no cost company fairly than accepting an outright project to Triple-A, and he’ll now head again to the Bronx after rather less than eight weeks on the open market.
