Update: Yankees call up Zelous Wheeler, send down Chase Whitley

August 21, 2014 by Mike 52 Comments

Six-man rotation would actually make sense for the Yankees in September
Masahiro Tanaka will face hitters in live batting practice on Saturday

10:39am: Whitley has been sent down to Triple-A Scranton to make room on the roster for Wheeler. Rosters expand in ten days, so he’ll be back before you know it.

10:36am: The Yankees have called up utility man Zelous Wheeler, according to the various reporters in the clubhouse. No word on the corresponding move yet, though I assume the team is dropping one of their eight relievers. Rich Hill or Chase Whitely seems likely. Carlos Beltran received a cortisone shot in his elbow yesterday and will miss a few games, so Wheeler gives them an extra bench player. I suppose there’s a chance Beltran is heading to the disabled list. We’ll see.
