Yankees Designate McDonald For Assignment

By Ben Nicholson-Smith | July 17, 2012 at 3:24pm CDT

The Yankees designated outfielder Darnell McDonald for assignment, MLB.com's Bryan Hoch reports (on Twitter). The move creates roster space for C.C. Sabathia, who starts tonight against the Blue Jays.

The Yankees claimed McDonald off of waivers from the Red Sox 13 days ago. He has a .205/.297/.352 batting line in 103 total plate appearances this year and owns a .246/.312/.394 line in six MLB seasons.

    Hopefully they put his dreads on ice before it was too late.

      ESPECIALLY when he’s playing the Red Sox. They could use any advantage they can get.

        Describing Darnell McDonald as an “advantage” in any context is a very bad joke

      he played for baltimore many years ago. just needs to join the blue jays to complete the circuit. he’s like eric hinske except without the magical timing to join when his teams reached the WS.

        and talent. Hinskie was a big piece of the Yankees bench in 2009.

    .246 lifetime in MLB……. that is not too bad for a 4th or 5th OF’er.  Some team like the Padres or Rockies might want to give him a 10-day look see.

      It is bad for someone drafted in the 1st round.

        Unless he was drafted first overall, it isn’t really that bad. Heck Matt Bush wishes he had been able to waste a team’s roster spot for as long as McDonald did

          26th pick, and only 7 players ahead of him became all stars.  Wasn’t a great pick, but wasn’t a bad pick.  So many late first rounders never make it.

      I definitely don’t think the Padres want him.

       Why? It helped Boston anyway? who would know better than the Sox that he will swing at any off speed pitch in the dirt, as well as a FB in his eyes?

    i don’t why the yankees even claimed darnell McDonald off waivers to begin with. darnell McDonald started out in the orioles organization. he has never been that great of a player.
