The Yankees got younger on Thursday, but did they get any better? After organizational meetings on Tuesday and Wednesday, the Yankees made their first changes, cutting ties with relievers, Paul Quantrill and Mike Stanton. Both were designated for assignment meaning the Yankees have ten days to trade or release them. Jason Anderson, a former Yankee prospect who was traded to the Mets for Armando Benitez and Wayne Franklin, a 31-year-old lefty specialist, will take their place on the roster for now.

Sean Henn can’t seem to beat the Devil Rays. Summoned from AAA to make a second start against the Rays, Henn produced the same results as the first and the Yankees lost to Tampa 5-4. Henn had been an emergency starter in May and claimed that nervousness led to his poor performance. This time around he had flown into New York on Sunday to prepare, but it made no difference as he walked seven batters in just over four innings and left with the Yankees losing 4-0.
