The Yankees have selected the contract of lefty Daniel Camarena from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre, the team reports. It’ll be the major league debut for the 26-year-old Camarena, who was re-signed by the club earlier this season after a short stint with the Twins organization.
Camarena was a late-round pick by the Yankees in 2012, and has since spent parts of each of his eight professional seasons in the Yankee farm (he also had a brief upper-minors stint with San Francisco last season). In 69 2/3 innings for Scranton this season (11 starts), the lefty’s pitched to an ugly 6.09 ERA, results only slightly inferior to his AAA output of a year prior. Camarena’s near 4/1 K/BB ratio is encouraging, especially in the juiced environs of the new-look International League, but he’s likely little more than a long man or fill-in at this point.
With the move, the club’s 40-man roster is now full. A staggering ten players still sit on the team’s 60-Day IL, so the club will almost certainly be faced with difficult roster decisions in the days ahead.

Doubtful. He’s in the 40 man roster not 25

Camerena was called up. He’s going to the Majors

Nah they’ve been selling planes for several decades.

That’s gonna fly over some heads.
Cuso
Nah, the pattern is full

Not mine!

Numbers are puzzlingly unsightly, but his last two starts he’s allowed only 1 run in 14 innings on 5 hits. Going for the hot hand, I suppose

Or the one they don’t mind losing to a waiver claim when they DFA him.
Roster crunch incoming, you’re not adding a piece for a handful of days if he’s one you want to keep in the system

Shouldn’t a website like this discuss how he got onto the 25 man, ie was someone put on the 10 day? As for the 40 man the article appears to indicate that they already had an open slot, hopefully that is accurate.

Mike Ford was sent down.

Yes it is accurate…..
Don Zimmer Had Roid Rage
Back when i was playing, there were a lot of open slots hanging around after the game.

Player that likely is off the 40 man roster post AS Game and adds left handed depth to the bullpen for the final 2 games of the Rays series.

My guess is that Cashman knows the 40 man is full, and he will have to drop a player once somebody comes off the 60 day DL. (perhaps Betances or Loaisiga), so he pulled up someone he is comfortable releasing or putting on waivers.

Cool soooooooooowhat are they doing about the starting rotation? Are they going to do anything about a 4th outfielder that plays every day?
Do we know when Stanton will be back or is this hush hush cover up Yankee land? He’s a big threat in the lineup are we gong into tjhe playoffs with mighty mouse in LF or a real left fielder?
What’s going on with Volt will he actually be back in another week?
Boone going to continue to run
Garnder
Trauchman
Rommine
All the same question marks that have not been answered in years
At least G Bird went down that guy is not MLB cut
yankeemanuno23
Not getting out as AL champs without starting pitching – old guys now can’t be reliable to that degree (6+ Inn w out HR’s allowed). Cashman make that deal !! U got bench off 40 man to get one starter!
