Via Donnie Collins: Right-hander Preston Claiborne has been placed on the Triple-A Scranton disabled list with a shoulder injury. The nature and extent of the injury is unknown. Claiborne pitched in last night’s game but eventually walked off with the trainer.
Claiborne, 26, had a 3.57 ERA (3.77 FIP) in 17.2 innings across a few short stints with the Yankees this season. He has a 2.76 ERA (2.84 FIP) in 16.1 Triple-A innings as well. Claiborne was essentially the team’s eighth reliever, getting the call whenever a fresh arm was needed. He wasn’t on the active roster but he was part of the bullpen. Hopefully it’s nothing serious, shoulder issues are scary.
