Gardner Returns, Yanks Acquire Shoppach

BRONX- The Yankees are getting some relief from the injury bug. Speedster CF Brett Gardner was activated off the disabled list this morning. To make room for him on the active roster, the Yankees demoted OF Ben Francisco to Triple A Scranton.

The other roster move the Yankees have made is they have acquired C Kelly Shoppach from the Seattle Mariners. They sent MR Sam Demel (5.87 ERA in 15.1 IP at Scranton) to the Mariners. Also accompanying Shoppach was $500,000 in cash. Shoppach is currently hitting .238 with 2 RBI, the Yankees are expecting him to take over the everyday catching duties. To make room for Shoppach, the Yankees designated C Chris Stewart for assignment.
