Parmelee was called up by the Yankees on Saturday.

Parmelee was added to the roster when Mark Teixeira was placed on the 15-day DL with a knee injury. With Dustin Ackley and Greg Bird also out with injuries, Parmelee could see some time starting at first base. The Yankees could also use Brian McCann or Austin Romine when they aren't catching, or let Rob Refsnyder get a chance at the position. Parmelee posted a .252 average with Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre in 151 at-bats this season.
