NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) — It’s September, and you know what that means. More players. On Tuesday, the Yankees recalled catcher John Ryan Murphy and right-handed pitchers Preston Claiborne, Bryan Mitchell and Chase Whitley from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre. New York has also added lefty Rich Hill and outfielder Chris Young to the big-league club. Alex Rodriguez's locker, vacant all year, has finally been issued … to Chris Young.— Bryan Hoch (@BryanHoch) September 02, 2014 Young signed a one-year, $7.25 million deal with the crosstown Mets in the offseason. A major disappointment, the veteran batted .205 with eight home runs and 28 RBIs in 88 games for the Amazin’s. The fact that Brett Gardner is hitting 3rd & Chris Young is on this team is beyond mind boggling. #Yankees — John Jastremski (@john_jastremski) September 02, 2014 The former All-Star was released by the Mets in August, and he subsequently signed a minor-league deal with the Yankees. #Mets save $73,770.49 with Chris Young spending final 27 days of season in MLB with #Yankees . (27 days of 183 x $500,000 MLB minimum)— Adam Rubin (@AdamRubinESPN) September 02, 2014 Rounding out the promotions, the Yankees signed outfielder Antoan Richardson and right-hander Chaz Roe to major-league contracts and added them to the active roster. Outfielder Slade Heathcott and starting pitcher Masahiro Tanaka have been transferred to the 60-day disabled list. Right-hander Matt Daley has been released and outfielder Zoilo Almonte was designated for assignment. You May Also Be Interested In These Stories Bogaerts, Betts Power Sox Past Yankees
