YANKEES LOSE SOMSEN

Baseball can be fun, can't it?

 Quick note about a guy we picked up just a few weeks ago.  Layne Somsen.  We wrote THE YANKEES JUST SIGNED LAYNE SOMSEN May 24th. Today he was claimed off waivers from the Dodgers.

MLB.com writes: "The Dodgers claimed right-handed pitcher Layne Somsen off waivers from the Yankees on Wednesday...Somsen will be with his third organization of 2016, having started the season with Cincinnati before being claimed by the Yankees on May 24. He allowed five earned runs in 2 1/3 innings with the Reds in the first Major League action of his career."

And there you have it.

THE YANKEES JUST SIGNED LAYNE SOMSEN

In a smart move, the Yankees just got younger again.

They just claimed righty pitcher and 26 year old Layne Somsen off waivers from the Cincinnati Reds.  According to Cincinnati.com, "Somsen, who made his big-league debut earlier this month and appeared in two games for the Reds‬, has been claimed off waivers by the Yankees‬.

Somsen pitched a scoreless inning in Philadelphia during his MLB debut in a 4-3 loss to the Phillies on May 14. He allowed five earned runs on five hits and three walks with two strikeouts and two home runs allowed in 1 1/3 innings in a 15-6 loss to the Indians on May 16."

And there you have it.  Everyone smile.
