Unfortunately, Jonathan Albaladejo's elbow injury, during yesterday's game, has forced the Yankees to place the reliever on the 15-day disabled list. Albaladejo described the feeling as a "pain similar to a needle in the bone part of his right elbow." He'll have an MRI on Monday.

In his place, Chris Britton has been called up. For those keep tracking at home, here is how Britton's season has gone (from the Yankees transactions page and Peter Abraham):

March 23: Optioned to Triple-A.
April 25: Recalled from Triple-A.
April 29: Optioned to Triple-A.
April 30: Recalled from Triple-A.
May 9: Optioned to Triple-A.
May 10: Recalled from Triple-A.

He has managed to pitch well, though. In the minors, he's 2-1 with a 2.45 ERA in 11 innings over 8 games. In the majors, he's pitched in just 1 game, where he pitched 2.2 innings, didn't receive a decision and allowed no runs. Between New York and Scranton, he's 2-1 in 13.2 innings over 9 games with a 1.98 ERA.

In related news, Sean Henn has been claimed by the Padres.
