Yankees reinstate 2B Jazz Chisholm Jr., RHP Fernando Cruz from IL
June 3 - The New York Yankees reinstated second baseman Jazz Chisholm Jr. and reliever Fernando Cruz from the injured list on Tuesday.
The team also put right-hander Luke Weaver on the 15-day injured list (retroactive to Sunday) with a left hamstring strain, recalled right-hander Yerry de los Santos from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre, optioned infielder Jorbit Vivas to Triple-A and designated right-hander Carlos Carrasco for assignment.
Chisholm, 27, has not played in the majors since April 29 due to an oblique strain. The former All-Star went 3-for-9 with a double and a stolen base in a three-game rehab assignment at Double-A Somerset.
Chisholm batted .181 with seven homers, 17 RBIs and 39 strikeouts in 30 games before landing on the 10-day IL.
Cruz, 35, went on the 15-day IL on May 22 with shoulder inflammation. The right-hander is 1-2 with a 2.66 ERA and two saves in 21 appearances out of the bullpen this season.
Weaver, 31, is 1-1 with a 1.05 ERA and eight saves in 24 relief appearances this season. He has struck out 24 and walked seven in 25 2/3 innings.
The 27-year-old de los Santos has no decisions and a 3.00 ERA in 10 relief appearances for the Yankees this season.
Vivas, 24, made his MLB debut on May 2 and batted .156 with one homer and four RBIs in 22 games for New York.
Carrasco, 38, signed a one-year, $1.5 million deal with the Yankees in February and went 2-2 with a 5.91 ERA in eight games (six starts).
