Yankees Lose Ian Hamilton, Cody Poteet To Injuries

Hamilton won’t throw for 3-4 weeks after suffering a lat strain in his last appearance. And Poteet went down with a right triceps strain and will be shut down for 1-2 weeks.

To take the spots on the roster, the Yankees recalled lefty Clayton Andrews from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre and signed left-hander Anthony Misiewicz to a major league contract and selected him to the active roster.

They still need to clear a spot on the 40-man roster for Misiewicz.

Baseball Legend Willie Mays Dies

“My father has passed away peacefully and among loved ones,” Mays’ son, Michael Mays, told the San Francisco Chronicle. “I want to thank you all from the bottom of my broken heart for the unwavering love you have shown him over the years. You have been his life’s blood.”

“His incredible achievements and statistics do not begin to describe the awe that came with watching Willie Mays dominate the game in every way imaginable,” MLB Commissioner Rob Manfred said. “We will never forget this true Giant on and off the field.” 

The San Francisco Giants announced the former center fielder, who also played for the New York Mets, died on Tuesday.

Mays played 21 seasons before being traded to the New York Mets in 1972. Mays finished with 660 home runs, the sixth most in MLB history.
