Claiborne was designated for assignment by the Yankees on Friday, ESPNNewYork.com reports.
While Claiborne went 3-0 with a 3.00 ERA in 18 appearances with the big club last season, he had just a 16:10 K:BB and benefited from a 3.3% HR/FB rate. The right-hander also turned in a 1.52 WHIP at Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre, and with Gonzalez Germen coming aboard from the Mets, the Yankees decided to bump Claiborne from the 40-man roster. He'll now be subjected to waivers.

Claiborne was recalled from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Tuesday, MLB.com's Bryan Hoch reports.
The right-hander has split his season roughly evenly between Triple-A and the majors, posting fairly comparable numbers at both levels. The late innings are an area of strength for the Yankees with David Robertson and Dellin Betances in the fold, so hold chances may be hard to come by for Claiborne.

Preston Claiborne failed to retire any of the six batters he faced Wednesday against the Blue Jays.
Claiborne was a very reliable reliever for the Yankees for five months last season before struggling in September. Unfortunately, he's continued to flounder in March, amassing a 14.29 ERA. It's most likely going to cost him his spot in the Yankees pen.
