Yankees optioned RHP Cody Eppley to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre. The move clears a spot on the 25-man roster for D.J. Mitchell. Eppley, 26, was claimed off waivers from the Rangers earlier this month and posted a 1.69 ERA in four appearances with the Yankees. Mitchell, of course, is expected to be used in long relief.

Yankees claimed RHP Cody Eppley off waivers from the Rangers; sent him to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre. Eppley was designated for assignment by Texas earlier this week. The 26-year-old righty registered a 3.90 ERA across 55 1/3 innings last year at Triple-A Round Rock.

Rangers designated RHP Cody Eppley for assignment. The move opens up a spot on the Rangers' 40-man roster. Eppley posted an 8.00 ERA over 10 appearances with the big club last season and had a 3.90 ERA and 55/34 K/BB ratio over 55 1/3 innings with Triple-A Round Rock. There's a chance he makes it through waivers unclaimed.
