The New York Yankees claimed right-hander Michael Tonkin off waivers from the New York Mets on Thursday.
The Mets designated Tonkin, 34, for assignment — for the second time this month — on Monday.
The Mets previously DFA’d Tonkin on April 5 before trading him to the Minnesota Twins a few days later. The Mets brought him back last week after the Twins DFA’d him on April 13.
Tonkin is 1-2 with a 6.00 ERA in six relief appearances this season with the Mets and Twins.
Tonkin is 11-8 with a 4.44 ERA in 192 games (no starts) with the Twins (2013-17, 2024), Atlanta Braves (2023) and Mets. From 2018-22 he spent time pitching in Japan, Mexico and the independent Atlantic League.
To make room on the 40-man roster, the Yankees designated right-hander McKinley Moore for assignment.
