This ex-New York Mets' reliever was a surprise DFA by the Yankees.
However, the Yankees surprisingly designated right-hander Michael Tonkin for assignment on Sunday, as the team was in need of a fresh arm in their bullpen. They added another former Mets' reliever, Phil Bickford, to their roster to take Tonkin's place.
Tonkin pitched a total of three more innings with the Mets in their series against the Los Angeles Dodgers in late-April. New York then designated him for assignment for a second time, which led to the Yankees claiming him off waivers.
