Stanton HR, triple play key Yankees' 8-4 win over Blue Jays Giancarlo Stanton hit a go-ahead homer in a four-run seventh inning and the New York Yankees pulled off a wacky triple play in an 8-4 win over the reeling Toronto Blue Jays
Wild but notches first hold Britton picked up a hold Tuesday against Toronto, pitching a scoreless inning during which he surrendered one hit and two walks.
Impact In his second outing of the season, Britton was thrust into a high-stress situation, entering in the bottom of the eighth inning with New York clinging to a one-run lead. The left-hander sandwiched two walks around a single but got Bo Bichette to line out to right field with two outs to escape a bases-loaded jam. It appears that the Yankees are comfortable giving Britton high-leverage work despite his long layoff to begin the season, but his high-wire act Tuesday -- along with the fact that only 11 of his 24 pitches went for strikes -- suggests that the veteran reliever may still be working off some rust.

Hurls clean inning in season debut Britton retired all three batters he faced while notching out strikeout against the Phillies on Saturday.
Impact The left-hander returned to the big club Saturday after missing the Yankees' first 63 games while recovering from spring elbow surgery. Britton struggled somewhat in a string of minor-league rehab appearances but looked good in his major-league season debut, needing only 11 pitches to get through a clean seventh inning. The veteran reliever will likely be eased back into action but should assume a prominent spot in the bullpen pecking order before long.

Reinstated Saturday Britton (elbow) was reinstated from the 60-day injured list prior to Saturday's game against the Phillies.
Impact Britton has been sidelined for the first 10 weeks of the season while recovering from an offseason cleanup of his elbow and he also suffered a setback in mid May. He gave up six earned runs in 4.1 innings through five rehab appearances. If Aroldis Chapman were ever unavailable or were to lose his grip on the closer's job, Britton would be a top option to step in.

Could return on road trip Manager Aaron Boone said Thursday that Britton (elbow) could "definitely" be activated during the current road trip, which runs through June 17 against the Blue Jays, Erik Boland o...
Impact The 33-year-old has made four rehab appearances between Double-A Somerset and Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barres over the past couple weeks, and he's on the cusp of rejoining the active roster. Britton has been on the shelf since undergoing surgery to remove a bone chip and loose bodies from his left elbow in late March. The veteran lefty has struggled in said rehab outings with six runs allowed over 3.1 innings, so the Yankees may want to give him another appearance or two in the minors before activating him from the 60-day injured list.

Roughed up in rehab outing Britton (elbow) allowed four runs on three hits and one walk while recording his only out via strikeout Tuesday in an appearance with Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre.
Impact Britton was moved up to the Triple-A club to continue rehabbing from March elbow surgery, but he was far from sharp in the outing. The southpaw threw only 13 of 24 pitches for strikes and served up a two-run double as well as a two-run home run. Recent reports have indicated that Britton could return during the Yankees' current road trip, but he figures to need at least one strong rehab appearance before rejoining the club.

Shifts rehab to Triple-A Britton's (elbow) rehab assignment was transferred to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Tuesday.
Impact Reports from over the weekend indicated Britton could return during the Yankees' current road trip, which runs from Tuesday through June 17. He won't be back at the start of the trip, as he'll likely make an appearance or two at the Triple-A level, but he should be back in the big leagues before too long.

Could return on next road trip Britton (elbow) said he could return on the team's next road trip, which is set to begin Tuesday in Minnesota, Brendan Kuty of The Newark Star-Ledger reports.
Impact Britton didn't note a specific target date, but he did mention the upcoming road trip or the following homestand as the time range for his return. The southpaw has missed the entire season up to this point with a bone chip and loose bodies in his elbow. He'll make a few more appearances during his rehab assignment before rejoining the Yankees, likely within the next 10 days.
