Cessa was optioned to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Cessa has seen limited action out of the Yankees' bullpen, as he's appeared in just three games with the big league club. The 24-year-old has mostly been stretched out as a starter in the minors (five starts in six appearances), so that may be the reasoning behind the latest move.

Cessa was recalled by the Yankees on Tuesday, Mark Feinsand of the New York Daily News reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Yankees made a flurry of roster moves Tuesday, recalling Cessa, Rob Refsnyder, and James Pazos while optioning Chad Green and Conor Mulee and designating Phil Coke for assignment. Cessa has spent most of the season at Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre, notching a 4.18 ERA across 28.0 innings of work. He could earn a spot start during his call-up with the Yankees.

Cessa pitched 4.1 innings of one-run ball in Scranton/Wilkes-Barre's 6-5 loss to Buffalo on Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

Cessa has pitched six innings for SWB since being optioned by the Yankees on Apr. 15 and now holds a 3.00 ERA along with five strikeouts. The 23-year-old righty will likely fine-tune his pitching at the Triple-A level and could be recalled by the Yankees later this year if they need a fresh arm.

Cessa was optioned to Triple-A on Friday and will begin the process of being stretched into a starter, Jared Diamond of The Wall Street Journal reports.

EDGE Analysis

Cessa was in a relief role with the Yankees to start the season, giving up one earned run with two strikeouts in two innings of work. Even though he could prove to be a solid reliever right now, the Yankees appear to prefer to let him develop as a starter in Triple-A where there will be more opportunities for him to work on his game.
