The Yankees plan to call up veteran reliever Justin Topa, who needs his contract formally selected as he is not on the 40-man roster. This move will likely require transferring Giancarlo Stanton to the 60-day injured list due to his ongoing calf issues. Topa, 35, has struggled with injuries but has performed well in Triple-A, posting a 1.75 ERA in 25 2/3 innings. He joins the Yankees with a career 4.27 ERA and must maintain a spot on the roster to avoid being designated for assignment.
