Ford was recalled from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre following Game 1 of Saturday's doubleheader against the Red Sox, Coley Harvey of ESPN.com reports.
Ford will join the Yankees after Edwin Encarnacion was placed on the 10-day injured list with a fractured wrist from a hit by pitch Saturday. The 27-year-old should see some chances at first base with Luke Voit (sports hernia) also on the shelf, but DJ LeMahieu will also see time at the position.
