strain, catcher Ben Rortvedt was reassigned to Scranton/Wilkes-Barre.
Harrison Bader headed to IL
Following a medical examination, Bader was assigned to the 10-day injured list after being pulled from Monday’s night game legging out a single. The Yankees maintain optimism for a swift recovery and return for Bader, hoping to avoid the extended absence endured by third baseman Josh Donaldson and outfielder/DH Giancarlo Stanton due to hamstring strains.
