Yankees recall Yovanny Cruz from Triple-A to bolster bullpen

The New York Yankees have recalled right-hander Yovanny Cruz from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre ahead of their game against the Detroit Tigers. This decision follows the Yankees' struggles, having lost five consecutive games and eight of their last ten. Cruz has made two scoreless appearances in the majors this year and is expected to provide immediate relief after the bullpen was stretched for over seven innings in Monday's loss. He will replace Yerry De los Santos, who was sent back to Triple-A after allowing two unearned runs in his last outing.
