#Zack Britton, Kyle Higashioka come off IL as Yankees get healthier

The Yankees’ bullpen got an important piece back Tuesday, when Zack Britton was activated from the IL after recovering from a left hamstring strain.

Kyle Higashioka (oblique) was also activated, but Erik Kratz will stick around for now.

To make room on the roster, right-hander Miguel Yajure was optioned to the alternate site in Scranton after throwing three scoreless innings in his MLB debut in Monday’s loss. Infielder Jordy Mercer was designated for assignment.

Keeping Kratz around makes sense, in particular, because the 40-year-old caught Deivi Garcia’s first MLB start and guided the right-hander through six impressive innings. The two had been batterymates in the minors with Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre, and with the 21-year-old in line to make another start in Friday’s doubleheader in Baltimore, having Kratz behind the plate again figures to help.
