Yankees' Duke Ellis: Claimed by New York

The Yankees claimed Ellis off waivers from the Mariners on Monday.

Since mid-June, Ellis has bounced around from the White Sox to the Mets to the Mariners and now to the Yankees. The speedy outfielder has slashed just .235/.315/.336 across his various stops in the minors this season but has stolen 51 bases in 54 attempts. He'll report to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre.
