09/05: Josh Towers Called Up
Posted by: Seamus
The Yankees have called up Josh Towers for the second time this season, according to MLB.com's Bryan Hoch. According to Hoch, the Yankees were going to wait to make this move until the team comes back home on Monday, but they figured to bring him up in case of an emergency since Chad Gaudin and Joba Chamberlain both had short outings to begin this series in Toronto.
The 32-year old Towers may get a look at his former team, as he appeared in 108 games for the Blue Jays from 2003-07 and started 89. He was actually called up by the Yankees once previously on August 8, but did not appear in a game and was designated for assignment the next day. Towers began the season with the Triple-A affiliate of the Washington Nationals, but has not pitched in a major league game since 2007.
