Yankees explain why Victor González was designated for assignment in bullpen shocker

The Yankees shook up their bullpen on Friday, a part of their roster that's been exposed of late.

The Yankees designated Victor González for assignment on Friday, part of two moves to add fresh arms to the bullpen.

González has an 11.3 strikeout rate, the fourth-lowest mark of any qualified reliever in baseball this season. The southpaw was giving up hard contact consistently , he wasn’t able to get hitters to swing and miss and he had command issues that led to a high walk rate . Gómez ranks eighth in the Eastern League this season in strikeout rate . He’s built up to be a starter, so he provides coverage on Friday if the Yankees need to eat innings. Gómez has a 3.13 ERA in 12 starts with Scranton/Wilkes-Barre.
