Before their home series against the Seattle Mariners, the New York Yankees recalled right-handed pitcher Bradley Hanner from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre, placing Kervin Castro on the 15-day injured list due to right elbow neuritis. Castro, who had a 1.42 ERA and was a key contributor in the bullpen, will be missed after strong recent performances. Hanner, 27, boasts a 2.10 ERA with 61 strikeouts in 51.1 innings this season and is set to make his MLB debut. Manager Aaron Boone’s deployment of Hanner will be closely watched as the Yankees navigate Castro’s absence.
