Jazz Chisholm Jr., who was acquired from the Marlins on Saturday, will start for the Yankees on Sunday night in Boston.
J.D. Davis was designated for assignment by the Yankees on Sunday to make room for Jazz Chisholm Jr. on the active roster.
Either way, space needed to be made on the active roster for Chisholm Jr., who was on his way from Milwaukee to Boston. Ultimately, the Yankees decided to cut ties with another bench bat, an acquisition from earlier this summer that never found his way into the playing time picture in pinstripes. He had two hits in a Yankees uniform, batting .105 in 22 plate appearances with a .385 OPS. Davis spent a chunk of time on the injured list with an illness.The Yankees will need to make one more roster move on Monday when designated hitter Giancarlo Stanton is activated from the injured list leading up to the team’s series opener against the Phillies.
