Yankees remaking bullpen again after loss to Angels
TL;DR
The Yankees are revamping their bullpen after a 7-1 loss to the Angels, quickly optioning reliever Yerry De los Santos back to Triple-A. They plan to make another roster move to fill their eight-man bullpen.
NEW YORK â The Yankeesâ fresh-armed reliever didnât last a day.
Called up from Triple-A on Tuesday, right-hander Yerry De los Santos mopped up for two innings in the Yankeesâ 7-1 loss to the Angels on Tuesday night, then immediately optioned back to Scranton/Wilkes-Barre.
The Yankees will make another move on Wednesday to fill their eight-man bullpen.

Theyâll probably summon in right-hander Angel Chivilli, who has worked 8 1/3 scoreless innings over five Triple-A outings.
Traded by the Rockies to the Yankees last December, Chivilli has allowed only two hits with nine strikeouts and two walks.
De los Santos replaced right-hander Jake Bird, whose ERA shot up to 7.71 after he served up a three-run homer to Mike Trout in the sixth inning of the Yankeesâ 11-10 win over the Angels on Monday night.
Asked about Birdâs departure before Tuesdayâs game, Boone said, âIt was more (needing a) fresh (arm). We think high highly of Yerry though, too. He was a guy that almost made the club (out of spring training).
âObviously, Birdie had a tough one (Monday) night, but in a lot of winning games Jake Birdâs played a big role with some big innings, some big outs. I feel like thatâs still very much in there and heâll be an option as his 15 days comes up or a need arises, obviously.
âBut (this was) more the needing of some coverage.â
The Yankees probably opted to wait a day to call up Chivilli because he pitched two innings on Sunday for Scranton.
