DON'T WORRY, WE GOT ISHIKAWA

Just a quick note about the Yankees claiming someone off waivers today.  You probably don't know him, but he's a first baseman.

The Baltimore Sun reports HERE that "... Travis Ishikawa, who was designated for assignment on June 29, was claimed by the New York Yankees on waivers Sunday afternoon.

Ishikawa, 29, had two hits in 17 at-bats in his brief time with the Orioles. He had batted .316 with a .413 on-base percentage in 49 games with the Triple-A Norfolk Tides.

Signed to a minor league deal, Ishikawa had an opt-out clause after June 15 if he weren’t promoted. He exercised it, and the Orioles promoted him. But within 10 days, he was off the roster to make room for Jair Jurrjens in the bullpen."

Thank goodness. (Insert sarcastic smile here.)
