- Injury Updates: Michael Pineda (back) will be out 3-4 weeks with a Grade I strain. Jacoby Ellsbury (hand) missed one game with soreness but has since returned to the lineup. Brendan Ryan (back) could rejoin the team very soon, perhaps as soon as today. Greg Bird (back), Slade Heathcott (knee), and Jose Ramirez (oblique) are all close to returning while Luis Torrens (shoulder) is still about a month away.
- The Yankees had “strong interest” in Joel Hanrahan, but he signed with the Tigers. The club is also said to have interest in Cuban outfielder Daniel Carbonell, but not Scott Baker.
- Chris Leroux was designated for assignment and Al Aceves was called up in a corresponding move.
