The Yankees announced this afternoon that they’ve selected the contract of infielder Kevin Smith. Smith will take the roster spot of Jon Berti, who the club placed on the 10-day injured list due to a left calf strain. Making room for Smith on the 40-man roster is DJ LeMahieu, who was transferred to the 60-day injured list. LeMahieu’s initial IL placement was retroactive to March 25, meaning that today’s transfer is a purely procedural move that has no bearing on when the Yankees can activate him.
More to come…
