The Yankees selected Leroux's contract Monday, Mark Feinsand of the New York Daily News reports. Since he was designated for assignment on July 25, Leroux has started three games at Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre, surrendering six runs on 13 hits and five walks while striking out 12 in 17 innings. With Wednesday's starter, Michael Pineda (back), not entirely stretched out at the moment, Leroux will likely act as the bridge from starter to David Robertson in the coming days.
