Yankees' Carlos Espinal: Contracted selected from Triple-A

Espinal's contract was selected from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Monday.

The 25-year-old righty has never pitched in the majors and has made only six appearances at Triple-A. Espinal has a 2.59 ERA, 1.11 WHIP and 48 strikeouts in 48.2 innings this year. He should work in low-leverage situations in the short term.
