Overview

  • New York placed outfielder Tyrone Taylor on the 10-day injured list with a left hamstring strain, retroactive to August 30.
  • Manager Carlos Mendoza said Jesse Winker was shut down from rehab and will not return this year after logging a .709 OPS in 81 plate appearances.
  • Left-hander Brandon Waddell was optioned to Triple-A Syracuse, while right-hander Kevin Herget and utility man Jared Young were recalled to the major-league roster.
  • Herget was eligible to return before the usual 15-day minimum for optioned pitchers because Taylor’s IL move created an injury replacement need.
  • Cedric Mullins is expected to handle most of the center-field work, while Young arrives with strong Triple-A production (.306/.394/.570, 16 HR) after a limited MLB stint and Waddell departs following 4.1 scoreless innings Sunday and a 3.45 ERA this season.
