Yankees place DH Holliday on 10-day DL
CHICAGO » The New York Yankees have placed designated hitter Matt Holliday on the 10-day disabled list with a viral infection.
The 37-year-old Holliday is batting .262 with 15 homers and 47 RBIs in 68 games in his first season in New York. The move was made retroactive to Sunday.
The Yankees also recalled infielder Miguel Andújar from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre before Wednesday night’s game at the Chicago White Sox. The 22-year-old Andujar began the season with Double-A Trenton, but was promoted after a strong start.
New York also announced that first baseman Chris Carter was outrighted to Scranton/ Wilkes-Barre and had accepted
his assignment. Carter was designated for assignment after Friday night’s 2-1 victory over Texas.
Mets moves
MIAMI » The New York Mets have placed righthander Robert Gsellman on the 10-day disabled with a strained left hamstring and recalled infielder Matt Reynolds from Triple-A Las Vegas.
Reynolds was expected to join the Mets in time for Wednesday’s game at Miami.
Gsellman becomes the sixth Mets starting pitcher to go on the DL this season. He was hurt trying to beat out a grounder Tuesday against the Miami Marlins.
Gsellman is 5-5 with a 6.16 ERA. His injury means right-hander Rafael Montero (1-4, 5.63 ERA) will remain in the rotation.
