Adam Ottavino’s second stint with the Yankees didn’t last long. After making just two relief appearances against the Diamondbacks last week, his time in pinstripes has already come to a close.
The Yankees designated the veteran right-hander for assignment earlier this week following the return of closer Devin Williams from the paternity list. Rather than accept an assignment to Triple-A, Ottavino opted for free agency.
It was a short ride, or so it seemed. Adam Ottavino is making his return to the Yankees once again. With the team needing fresh pitching help ahead of their Monday series against the Tigers, Ottavino is set to rejoin the roster after being designated for assignment last Friday.
On Sunday night, the Yankees made room for Ottavino by sending left-handed reliever Brent Headrick to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre.
Earlier in the day, Ottavino had chosen free agency rather than accepting a minor-league assignment. SNY first reported his re-signing. What a crazy few days for Ottavino.
