The Yankees transferred Burdi (hip) from the 15-day injured list to the 60-day IL on Sunday.
Burdi's move to the 60-day IL makes room on the 40-man roster for J.D. Davis, whom the Yankees acquired from the Athletics on Sunday. The 31-year-old right-hander has been on the shelf since May 24 with right hip inflammation. He received a platelet-rich plasma injection for his hip earlier this month, but he hasn't been cleared to start throwing and will now remain out through the All-Star break. Burdi appeared in 12 games before landing on the IL, registering a 1.86 ERA and 1.45 WHIP over 9.2 innings.

Yankees' J.D. Davis: Acquired by Yankees
Rotowire
The Yankees acquired Davis and cash considerations from the Athletics on Sunday in exchange for infielder Jordan Groshans.
After seeing his playing time steadily decrease, Davis was DFA'd by the Athletics on Monday. The Yankees will make room on the 40-man roster for Davis, marking the third organization he's been with since the start of spring training after the Athletics previously signed him following his release from the Giants in March. He appeared in 39 games for the Athletics before losing his roster spot, slashing .236/.304/.366 with four home runs and five RBI over 135 plate appearances. To make room for Davis on the 40-man roster, the Yankees transferred right-hander Nick Burdi (hip) to the 60-day injured list.

Yankees' Oswald Peraza: Recalled by Yankees
Rotowire
The Yankees recalled Peraza from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Sunday.
The move comes with Giancarlo Stanton placed on the 10-day IL due to a left hamstring strain. Peraza began the season on the injured list with a shoulder injury sustained in spring training, and since returning to Triple-A on May 19, he's slashed .178/.313/.215 with one home run and 11 RBI over 107 at-bats. Peraza appeared in 52 games for the Yankees in 2023, slashing .191/.267/.272 with two home runs and 14 RBI over 191 plate appearances.

Yankees' Giancarlo Stanton: Placed on IL with hamstring strain
Rotowire
The Yankees placed Stanton on the 10-day injured list Sunday due to a left hamstring strain.
Stanton exited in the fourth inning of Saturday's 8-3 win over Atlanta after injuring his left hamstring while scoring from second base on a Gleyber Torres double. Trent Grisham came in for Stanton on Saturday, but it's not clear whether the former will see a significant uptick in playing time, given he's slashing .113/.263/.306 over 76 plate appearances this season. If Grisham does see extra playing time, that could come in the outfield, with Aaron Judge serving as the designated hitter in Stanton's absence, per Bryan Hoch of MLB.com. With Stanton on the IL, the Yankees recalled Oswald Peraza from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre.
The Yankees are expected to recall Peraza from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Sunday, Daniel Alvarez-Montes of ElExtraBase.com reports.
Peraza is expected to join the Yankees' roster for the first time this season after suffering an injury during spring training and sticking at Triple-A after reinstatement from the injured list. While a corresponding move has yet to be announced, Peraza's call-up could indicate Giancarlo Stanton (hamstring) needs an IL stint after exiting Saturday's game. Regardless, Peraza should provide additional infield depth for the Yankees.

Yankees' Trent Grisham: Pops homer off bench
Rotowire
Grisham went 1-for-2 with a solo home run in Saturday's 8-3 win over Atlanta.
Grisham has gone 5-for-23 over 11 games in June, with three of those hits being homers. The outfielder has functioned in a reserve role for much of the season, and he's done little to deserve anything more than that. The 27-year-old is slashing a paltry .113/.263/.306 with four homers, 10 RBI, seven runs scored and no stolen bases through 76 plate appearances. Giancarlo Stanton (hamstring) is set to miss time after exiting Saturday's game, but it's unclear if Grisham will see much of an uptick in playing time.

Yankees' Aaron Judge: Productive in win
Rotowire
Judge went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run, an additional RBI and a walk in Saturday's 8-3 win over Atlanta.
Judge generated runs in a variety of ways. His first-inning blast put the Yankees ahead, and he drew a bases-loaded walk in the sixth to tack on an insurance run. Even one of his outs, a groundout into a double play, allowed a run to score in the third. Judge has three homers over his last five contests and is up to 28 long balls this year as he continues to pace the majors. He's added a spectacular .301/.425/.692 slash line with 70 RBI, 59 runs scored and five stolen bases through 77 games, a level of production quite similar to his MVP campaign from 2022.
Stroman (7-3) allowed three runs on three hits and two walks while striking out six over 6.2 innings to earn the win over Atlanta on Saturday.
Stroman was sharp in his first quality start across four outings in June. He gave up a solo home run to Marcell Ozuna in the first inning and a two-run blast to Travis d'Arnaud in the seventh. Stroman has walked multiple batters in five straight starts, which has led to some recent inconsistency. He's at a 3.15 ERA with a 1.26 WHIP and 67:40 K:BB through 91.1 innings over 16 starts this season. The right-hander is projected to make his next start at Toronto.

Yankees' Giancarlo Stanton: Will miss games
Rotowire
Manager Aaron Boone said Saturday that he's expecting Stanton (hamstring) to miss "days," Gary Phillips of the New York Daily News reports.
Stanton was removed from Saturday's game with tightness in his hamstring and is set to undergo an MRI on Sunday. While Boone is hopeful the injury isn't significant, he's still expecting Stanton to miss some time. Sunday's MRI should provide more clarity on the severity of the injury. Trent Grisham entered the game for Stanton and could be in line for more at-bats while Stanton's sidelined.

Yankees' Jon Berti: Showing improvement
Rotowire
Berti (calf) is improving and could begin a minor-league rehab assignment in a few weeks, per MLB.com.
Yankees manager Aaron Boone said Friday that Berti is "moving in a good direction" and added that the infielder will "hopefully" be ready for a rehab assignment in "a few more weeks." Berti is currently on the 60-day IL due to a left calf strain and isn't eligible to be activated until late July. He will likely fill a utility role upon his return.

Yankees' Gleyber Torres: Back in lineup Saturday
Rotowire
Torres (groin) is starting at second base and batting seventh Saturday against Atlanta.
Torres left Thursday's game against the Orioles in the sixth inning due to tightness in his right groin. He was held out of Friday's game as a precaution and is back in the lineup Saturday. For the month of June, Torres is slashing .194/.268/.387 with three home runs and 12 RBI over 62 at-bats.
Rodon (9-4) took the loss Friday as the Yankees fell 8-1 to Atlanta, surrendering eight runs (seven earned) on 11 hits -- including three home runs -- and two walks over 3.2 innings. He struck out three.
The Atlanta offense came to life at the wrong time for Rodon, as he got taken deep by Ozzie Albies, Austin Riley and Matt Olson before exiting the game after 93 pitches (56 strikes). The southpaw hadn't served up multiple homers in a start since May 2. After a run of seven straight quality starts, he's been tagged for 12 earned runs in 8.2 innings over his last two outings. Rodon will try to rebound in his next trip to the mound, which is scheduled to come on the road next week in Toronto.
