5 years agoThe New York Yankees optioned relief pitcher Stephen Tarpley to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Wednesday. Tarpley, who has had three MLB stints this season and had just been called up on June 9, struck out the side in the tenth inning that day to earn his first career save. However, after a run Tuesday, his ERA stands at 8.53 in 6 1/3 innings this season and 5.28 in 15 1/3 career innings. The save was mostly a matter of circumstance and Tarpley's back-and-forth between AAA and MLB confirms its fantasy insignificance.--Nathaniel Green
