06/30: Kennedy Activated and Demoted
Peter Abraham reports that Ian Kennedy was activated from the DL last Wednesday and promptly demoted to Single-A Tampa. He'll have to work his way back into the Yankees' rotation.
"Right now we’re not really thinking of him," Joe Girardi told Abraham. "We like the way our other [starters] are throwing the ball. I mean, you have to earn your call-up. ... You have to earn your spot back. You have to pitch well to earn your spot back. He has to pitch well. He was optioned out, this is him getting right. This is like the other 175 players in the minor leagues, or however many there are."
Sounds like a good idea to me.
