Phil Bickford rejoins the Yankees on a Major League contract as Michael Tonkin is designated for assignment, reflecting the team's ongoing adjustments.
Despite a poor 14.40 ERA stint earlier this season, Bickford's strong performance at Triple-A led the Yankees to sign him again for added bullpen depth.
Tonkin's recent performance, including a 9.39 ERA in his last 7 2/3 innings, likely influenced the decision to bring back Bickford for a fresher option.
Bickford's previous success in 2021 raised hopes for his performance, although his recent track record remains a concern for the team's bullpen.
