The New York Yankees have claimed right-handed pitcher Michael Tonkin, jersey number #50, off waivers from the New York Mets. In a corresponding move to make space on the 40-man roster, the Yankees designated McKinley Moore for assignment. Tonkin has experienced a tumultuous month, moving between the Mets, the Minnesota Twins, and back, while being designated for assignment three times. He was added to the Yankees' active roster prior to their game and was slated to attempt his second career save in his debut with the team as their closer.
