The Yankees designated infielder Cody Ransom for assignment and recalled RHP Anthony Claggett from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre.

RealGM Note: Ransom filled in at third base for the Yankees while Alex Rodriguez recovered from hip surgery. He has a .585 OPS for the season in his 79 at bats, 50 of which coming in April.

Claggett has a 3.02 ERA, but just 34 strikeouts in 59.2 Triple-A innings in 2009. He is infamous for giving up eight earned runs in the Yankees 22-4 defeat to the Indians in April.
