The Yankees continue to shuffle their bullpen, DFAing Michael Tonkin and signing Phil Bickford to address immediate pitching needs amid recent struggles from their relievers.
Boone emphasized the necessity of this roster change, stating, 'It just felt like we needed a little more coverage today,' especially following the strain on the bullpen.
Tonkin's performance, once solid with a 3.38 ERA, saw him struggle post-All-Star break, leading to his DFA for a fourth time this season.
Bickford, although effective in Triple-A with a 3.00 ERA, has shown inconsistency at the major league level, raising questions about his long-term role.
