Leading up to Thursday night's game with Tampa Bay, the Yankees placed Jorge Posada (hairline foot fracture) on the 15-day disabled list and sent reliever Mark Melancon to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre.
The Bombers purchased the contract of catcher Chad Moeller and infielder Kevin Russo. Moeller was not on the 40-man roster, so to do that the Yanks moved Nick Johnson to the 60-day disabled list to make room for Moeller.
Russo has been getting some playing time in the outfield as well at Scranton, and manager Joe Girardi said he could play in the outfield as well up here, considering all the recent injuries. "Russo can do a lot of different things," Girardi said.
Good because the way things are looking now, they might need him real bad.
