The Yankees selected Cruz's contract from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Monday.
Cruz has earned a look from the big club after putting up a 3.00 ERA and 23:9 K:BB over 18 innings out of the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre bullpen. The 26-year-old will be making his major-league debut when/if he gets into a game.
