Yankees call up young emerging starter, place reliable reliever on IL

Wandy Peralta could have made his final appearance for the Yankees, as the impending free agent was placed on the 15-Day IL, which makes him ineligible to return for the rest of the regular season. With the Yankees most likely not making the postseason, there won’t be an added part of the schedule for him to make that return. To replace the injured veteran, the Yankees are promoting their #26 prospect on MLB Pipeline Yoendrys Gomez. The right-handed 23-year-old out of Venezuela has impressed at Double-A, and with his spot on the 40-man Roster, was an easy candidate to promote.
