Green was recalled from Triple-A prior to Thursday's game, MLB.com's Bryan Hoch reports.
He is being listed as a member of the Yankees' bullpen, but there is still speculation from Mark Feinsand of the New York Daily News that Green could get a spot start Friday in order to give Masahiro Tanaka an extra day of rest. Both scenarios seem possible, and it would be foolish to assume the Yankees are being completely forthright about everything they say regarding personnel. Thursday's day game could shed some light on the matter, as Green would not be an option to start Friday if he sees action in relief. Nick Goody was optioned to Triple-A as a corresponding move.
