NEW YORK (AP) — The New York Yankees have recalled right-hander Mark Melancon from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre and optioned outfielder Greg Golson to their top farm club.
The Yankees made the moves Tuesday night before their scheduled game against the Boston Red Sox.
Melancon was sent to Scranton on May 4, when New York called up Golson. He had two hits in five at-bats over six games with the Yankees, used mostly as a late-inning outfield replacement.
Melancon made one relief appearance before he was sent down. He gave up three runs — two earned — in two innings.
