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

EDGE Analysis

Cessa was sent back to the minors after his spot start Wednesday with CC Sabathia only expected to miss one turn through the rotation. The 26-year-old took the loss against the Rays, allowing five runs on seven hits and two walks across 3.1 innings. He'll be an option to make a spot start or serve as a long reliever down the stretch.

Cessa was officially recalled from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Wednesday, Erik Boland of Newsday reports.

EDGE Analysis

As expected, Cessa will rejoin the Yankees rotation for Wednesday's start against Tampa Bay with CC Sabathia (knee) on the disabled list. Cessa's stay in the big leagues will likely be a short one since the club has a couple off days next week. Across eight appearances (three starts) this year, he's logged a 4.50 ERA and 1.29 WHIP.

Cessa will be recalled from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre and start Wednesday's game against the Rays.

EDGE Analysis

Rather than turning to the struggling Sonny Gray to start in place of the injured CC Sabathia (knee), the Yankees will summon Cessa from the minors to fill the void in the rotation. Sabathia's situation doesn't look to be particularly worrisome, so Cessa may be in line for only a brief stay with the big club. In his prior three starts with the Yankees this season, Cessa has gone 1-2 and has allowed five runs on 12 hits and five walks over 14.1 innings.

Cessa will likely enter the starting rotation after CC Sabathia (knee) was placed on the disabled list Monday, Marc Carig of The Athletic New York reports.

EDGE Analysis

Cessa has made eight appearances (three starts) for the Yankees this season, and he owns a 4.50 ERA and 1.29 WHIP with 17 strikeouts across 24 innings. With Sabathia on the shelf for at least the next 10 days, Cessa figures to slot in near the back end of the rotation moving forward.

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

EDGE Analysis

Cessa will head back down to the minors after tossing 3.2 innings of relief during Thursday's game in Boston. Manager Aaron Boone was forced to use Cessa after CC Sabathia lasted just three innings, and Jonathan Holder and Chad Green were unable to stop the Red Sox's offense. Due to his appearance in Thursday's loss, Cessa will obviously no longer take the mound Saturday. Instead, it's expected that Chance Adams will make his major-league debut at Fenway Park. In a corresponding move, Tommy Kahnle was recalled from Scranton/Wilkes-Barre to replenish the Yankees' bullpen.

Cessa could be called upon out of the bullpen for Thursday's matchup against the Red Sox, but if he isn't needed, he'll likely draw the start for Saturday's game, Pete Caldera of The Bergen Record reports.

EDGE Analysis

Cessa was called up from Triple-A on Thursday after J.A. Happ (illness) was placed on the 10-day disabled list. Cessa has been deployed as both a reliever and starter in 2018, so he'll be ready to take on either role during his stint in the big leagues. Depending on how Thursday's matchup pans out, Cessa appears likely to get the nod Saturday at Fenway.

Cessa will be recalled from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre prior to Thursday's tilt against the Red Sox, DJ Eberle of the Times Leader News reports.

EDGE Analysis

Cessa was sent down to the minors Thursday after the Yankees acquired J.A. Happ from the Blue Jays. It's unclear how New York will choose to use Cessa, although he'll likely see time as both a starter and reliever. The 26-year-old owns a 3.10 ERA and 1.13 WHIP with 16 strikeouts over 20.1 frames in 2018.

Cessa was sent back down to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Thursday, Brendan Kuty of NJ.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

With the addition of J.A. Happ from the Blue Jays on Thursday, Cessa lost his place in the starting rotation and will head back to the minors for the time being. Though he turned in a quality outing against Tampa Bay on Wednesday, it wasn't a secret that the Yankees wanted to upgrade their staff, and one start didn't change anyone's mind. Cessa's ceiling with the 2018 club is likely a middle-relief role, or someone that can pick up the slack after a starter is forced to exit prematurely. Across seven appearances (three starts) with the Yankees, he's logged a 3.10 ERA and 1.13 WHIP.

Cessa (1-2) took the loss Wednesday, allowing two runs on four hits over 5.1 innings while striking out three as the Yankees fell 3-2 to the Rays.

EDGE Analysis

The right-hander held Tampa off the scoreboard for five innings, before faltering, with the big blow being a two-run shot by Kevin Kiermaier. Cessa threw 74 pitches (48 strikes) and likely did enough to ensure he'll remain in the rotation for at least another turn. He'll take a 3.10 ERA into his next outing, scheduled for Tuesday at home against the Orioles.

The Yankees recalled Cessa from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre ahead of his scheduled start Wednesday against the Rays, Erik Boland of Newsday reports.

EDGE Analysis

Cessa assumes the rotation spot of Domingo German, who was optioned to Triple-A over the weekend. The 26-year-old has dazzled in three starts for Scranton/Wilkes-Barre this season with a 1.42 ERA, 17:2 K:BB and a .154 batting average against over 19 frames, but he has been less impressive over his 16 career starts in the big leagues (4.37 ERA in 82.1 innings). He'll likely have a short leash in the rotation and may need to find success right away to guarantee himself future starts.
