Yankees activate Carlos Beltran, designate Scott Sizemore for assignment

11:40am: Dan Barbarisi says Sizemore is on optional assignment waivers like Matt Daley earlier this year and Ramiro Pena a few years ago. He wasn’t actually dropped from the 40-man roster, it’s just a procedural thing due to his service time.

11:15am: As expected, the Yankees have activated Carlos Beltran off the 15-day disabled list. Scott Sizemore was designated for assignment to clear room on the roster. I wonder why they didn’t just send him to Triple-A Scranton. The team now has two open 40-man roster spots.

Beltran, 37, missed a little less than a month due to a bone spur in his right elbow. Joe Girardi said the plan is to use him exclusively at DH because they don’t want to risk re-aggravating the injury by having him throw. Beltran said he feels fine now and will continue to receive treatment all season. He hit .234/.286/.430 (90 wRC+) with five homers in 140 plate appearances before getting hurt.
