Zack Britton returned to the Yankees’ clubhouse on Wednesday, but he’ll have to wait a few more days to make his long-awaited return to the mound.
Just over 12 months removed from UCL surgery on his left elbow, Britton completed his rehab assignment Tuesday night and arrived in The Bronx on Wednesday feeling healthy, awaiting a decision from the Yankees on when he will be activated from the 60-day injured list.
The Yankees plan to activate reliever Scott Effross from the 15-day IL on Thursday, and rookie Greg Weissert, who pitched a scoreless inning in the Yankees’ win, was optioned to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre to make room. But the Yankees will eventually need to open another roster spot for Britton — in addition to clearing a spot on the 40-man roster — which could force a decision on whether to option a reliever such as Ron Marinaccio, Clarke Schmidt or Lou Trivino.
“I think it’s just getting volume,” Britton said. “The sooner I get back and [am] able to get some games under my belt, the better I feel about helping the team in the postseason.” “The reason why I kind of pushed things is because I want to pitch this year for this team to help them win,” he said. “There’s no benefit for me personally other than the fact that maybe I can have an impact on a World Series championship team. That’s really the only goal for me at this stage of my career. I’ve gotten my contract. Thirty-four years old. My reasons are much different now than when I was younger. I want a ring. That’s why I pushed this to come back and be an option for the team.
