- Optioned INF Luke Voit to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre.
- Transferred LHP Jordan Montgomery to the 60-day DL.
Sabathia was put on the DL a day after pitching six shutout innings of one-hit ball against Texas. The 38-year-old left-hander is 7-4 with a 3.32 ERA in 22 starts.
Sabathia has been bothered by knee trouble for several seasons. Boosted by a brace, he's been able to pitch effectively despite the problem.
The Yankees also transferred left-hander Jordan Montgomery (elbow) to the 60-day disabled list.
