Following Wednesday night's 11-3 win, the Yankees appear to be making a roster move. According to Donnie Collins of the Scranton Times-Tribune, LHP David Huff is on his way up to the Bronx.

I'm not sure what this move would mean, considering that Huff is currently not on the Yankees 40-man roster and the Yanks would need to clear room to do so, assuming there isn't an injury for him to replace, someone is expected to be designated for assignment.

If there isn't an injury and somebody is about to be designated for assignment, I would have to guess that Dellin Betances, who gave up four runs on five hits on his 2013 debut Tuesday night, would be the man getting the boot.

Of all the people the Yankees could bring up, I'm not sure why Huff is the man. Huff was claimed off waivers by the Yankees back in May and made one appearance for the team, giving up one run on one hit against the Rays, before getting sent down.

In 22 game for Triple-A Scranton, Huff has an ERA of 3.90 in 91.2 innings pitched, with 22 walks and 92 strikeouts.
