Yankees option reliever Bradley Hanner to Triple-A after one MLB outing

The New York Yankees demoted right-handed reliever Bradley Hanner following his appearance against the Minnesota Twins on September 15. Hanner returns to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre after a challenging stint in the majors, where he posted a high 11.81 ERA over 5.1 innings this season. Manager Aaron Boone made the move to create space for Clarke Schmidt, who is returning from the injured list. Hanner's previous outing on September 12 against the Mets saw him allow four earned runs in 1.1 innings. With a solid minor league record, Hanner will aim for a rebound in Triple-A while remaining an option for the Yankees as the season progresses.
