The New York Yankees activate catcher Austin Wells from the injured list and return him to the active roster after a roughly two-week absence. One report says Wells had been on the 10-day IL and is now available again, while another notes the move occurs as part of a broader roster adjustment. In addition to Wells’ activation, the Yankees recall pitcher Elmer Rodríguez. The recall is described as a decision that allows the team to provide starting pitchers with an extra day of rest. Before going on the IL, Wells was not hitting well, with one source citing a batting average of .166 and an OPS of .533 at the time of the move. The combined reports indicate the Yankees are bringing Wells back while using the pitching call-up to manage their schedule. Overall, the transaction reflects Wells’ return from injury and a corresponding bullpen or rotation workload adjustment involving Rodríguez.
