Yanks designate Darnell McDonald for assignment, activate CC Sabathia

Joba strikes out two in latest minor league rehab appearance
Yankees monitoring bullpen market

As expected, the Yankees have designated outfielder Darnell McDonald for assignment to clear room on the roster for CC Sabathia. Sabathia has been activated off the 15-day DL and will start tonight.

McDonald was claimed off waivers from the Red Sox a little less than two weeks ago with the idea that he might help against Boston’s left-handed starters in the series prior to the All-Star break. That didn’t work out — he made outs in all four plate appearances in pinstripes — and his time with the club will probably be best remembered for contributing to Curtis Granderson’s dropped fly ball in last Saturday’s game. Anyway, welcome back CC.
