Yankees optioned RHP David Phelps to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre.
The move clears a spot for the newly-claimed Darnell McDonald on the active roster. Phelps was impressive in a spot start Wednesday against the Rays and could find himself back in the Yankees’ rotation after the All-Star break.Β We will most definitely see Phelps back up sooner than later.Β Don’t be surprised if he takes Freddy Garcia’s rotation spot after he is stretched out.
