"Kind of running out of time here and having a little bit of fatigue last night, it's like one of those things, you don't want to power through that and reach for more and then do some damage as you're coming back," Yankees manager Aaron Boone said Saturday."He's in a good spot heading into the offseason."
"It's just that final sharpness," Boone said."At this point in the season, just kind of up against it there. But he worked his tail off to put himself in this position and give himself an opportunity and certainly admire that." Barnes signed a minor league contract with Seattle, made four relief appearances for Triple-A Tacoma, then was brought up by the Mariners and designated for assignment two days later without playing in a game. He refused an outright assignment, signed back with the Tigers and made five appearances at Triple-A Toledo. Released by the Mud Hens, he signed with Scranton on Aug. 30 and had a 2.25 ERA in 10 games for the RailRiders.
