Update: Yankees activate David Phelps

Yankees drop series opener to Red Sox thanks to predictable bullpen meltdown
Game 149: Just Win

Sunday: Phelps has indeed been activated. He threw a two-inning simulated game on Thursday, so at least he had some kind of tune-up appearance under his belt. Derek Jeter was transferred to the 60-day DL to clear a 40-man roster spot.

Saturday: Via Dan Barbarisi: The Yankees will activate David Phelps off the 60-day DL prior to Saturday’s game to help their, uh, disheveled bullpen. Last week we heard Phelps had just started playing catch and was still a few days away from throwing in the bullpen. He’s been out with two forearm strains since early-July. There is pretty much zero chance Phelps is big league ready. Desperation is a stinky cologne.

      “You know the way you smell when you first come home from the beach? Well, I want to make a cologne that captures the essence of that smell”

        This is weird. We’re not a Kramer divided against itself. We’re a Kramer united with each other.

        This will go down in the annals of internet history as just plain weird.

    Even when yankee pitching prospects make it to the majors they continue to have arm issues.
