Yates was recalled from Rookie-level Pulaski on Friday.
Pulaski's season ended Thursday and thus Yates was eligible to return just three days after being optioned. Yates has struggled to a 5.40 ERA, 1.43 WHIP and 3.6 BB/9 in 36 appearances with New York this season, numbers right in line with his career marks. He figures to pitch exclusively in the middle innings.
