The Yankees announced that they claimed outfielder Darnell McDonald off waivers from the Red Sox on Wednesday.
McDonald, who was designated for assignment by Boston on Saturday, will join the Yankees’ active roster on Friday, when they start a four-game weekend series at Fenway Park against the Red Sox.
The right-handed McDonald is hitting .214/.309/.369 on the season, with an equally lousy .214/.327/.357 against left-handing pitching.
His career mark against lefties is more respectable: .277/.345/.441. The Yankees will see their fair share of left-handed starters when they visit The House That Tom Yawkey Built.

I shall march into Fenway, hit home runs, drive in runs, steal bases, and even pitch in relief in extras to balance my record to 1 and 1 on the year.
Plymouth rock won’t stop me.

If I wasn’t a bumbling fool against all offspeed pitches, this wouldn’t be necessary.
Brett Gardner July 4, 2012 21:49
If I wasn’t such a faggot with a balky elbow this wouldn’t be necessary.

I will be making another appearance on WEEI’s ground breaking,award winning radio program Dennis & Callahan. I will again make disparaging remarks about George Steinbrenner & detailing the Sox supremacy over the Yankees.

You think the guys from Southie will stop hiding their white women?

We should start Wise, Granderson, and McDonald in the outfield at the same time at some point this weekend. Imagine how angry the fans in Fenway would get.
Jim Kaat July 5, 2012 05:41
That would be considered a modern day soul patrol.

We finally can take a break.
Smart Guy July 5, 2012 10:11
as confident as i am that we can beat boston you still have a the thought of freddy and phelps pitching in the DH saturday in the back of the head as a potential kill for the bullpen, i hope we dont tax the bullpen out for the rest of the year based on those 2 games.
yeah boston team sucks but it seems like boston – yankee games are so stress demanding games

Wait, it’s Hughes on Saturday morning, right?
Look for me on the news Saturday night. I’ll be the guy with the Yankees hat that got beat up in the bleachers!
Smart Guy July 5, 2012 13:17
if im not mistaking i heard on the brodcast that garcia is the opener and phelps the night game, although it should be the other way around just incase we need a pitcher send phelps down after game one but what do i know ? im just a smart guy
Smart Guy July 5, 2012 10:13
