Higashioka will be called up to the Yankees, Sweeney Murti of Sportsradio 66 WFAN reports.

With Gary Sanchez, the Yankees' starting catcher, headed to the 10-day DL with a biceps strain, Higashioka will join the big-league club to fill the void left by him. While most of the starts behind the dish will go to Austin Romine, the 26-year-old should see occasional opportunities. The move will be made official once Sanchez is placed on the 10-day DL.
