Mejia will serve as the designated hitter and bat sixth Saturday against the Yankees.
With lefty CC Sabathia pitching for New York, Yonder Alonso will head to the bench as Edwin Encarnacion moves to first base and Mejia -- just recalled from Triple-A Columbus -- slots in at DH. Mejia hit .324/.346/.527 against left-handed pitching with Columbus this season. It's uncertain how long the Indians plan to keep him at the major-league level.
