The Yankees announced that right-hander has been designated for a signment. The move opens a roster space for left-hander , whose contract has been selected from Triple-A. Bickfords own minor league contract was selected to New Yorks roster just on June 21, and the veteran righty allowed eight earned runs over five innings (in five appearances) for an ugly 14.40 ERA. The majority of that damage took place in Saturdays game, as Bickford was charged for five runs in just two-thirds of an inning Matt Peacock Jersey of relief work in the Yankees 9-3 lo s to the Blue Jays. Todays move brings a fresh arm into the Yankees bullpen, and returns Bickford to the DFA wire for the third time in his career. Bickfords previous designations resulted in a change of uniform the Dodgers claimed him off waivers from the Brewers in May 2021, and the Mets Bickford as part of a deadline day trade last August. Since Bickford is out of minor league options, the Yankees had to designate him and risk losing him on waivers before the club is free to outright him off the 40-man roster. Maciejewski was designated and outrighted himself back in April, shortly after he made his Major League debut in the form of a single inning of relief work in New Yorks 7-0 win over the Marlins on April 8. A 10th-round pick for the Yankees in the 2018 draft, Maciejewski is more of a pitch-to-contract type of hurler than a strikeout artist, and he has a 4.95 ERA over 83 2/3 career Triple-A innings. His second trip to the majors will see Maciejewski join and as the left-handed options in New Yorks relief corps. Geraldo Perdomo Jersey
