McKay was designated for assignment by the Yankees on Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

McKay has made two appearances for the Yankees this season, throwing a pair of scoreless innings. The 27-year-old righty has spent the bulk of the year with Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre, where he owns a 2.91 ERA in 21.2 frames. He'll make way on the 40-man roster for Albert Abreu, who was claimed off waivers from the Royals.
