Green was returned to the Yankees on Sunday after clearing waivers.
Green landed with the Diamondbacks during the Rule 5 draft and posted a 2.70 ERA over 13.1 spring innings, but his 8:11 K:BB is the likely culprit for his return to the Yanks. The right-hander seems ticketed for Double-A Trenton after posting a 3.28 ERA and 1.40 WHIP over 20 starts at High-A Tampa last season before a late-season promotion.

Diamondbacks' Nick Green: Throws three relief innings
Rotowire
Green allowed one unearned run on two hits and two walks while striking out one over three innings Sunday against the Rockies.
Green, who was a starter in the Yankees organization, was selected by the Diamondbacks in the Rule 5 draft and is trying to make the roster as a reliever. The bottom-line results have been good for the right-hander -- 1.93 ERA in 9.1 innings -- however, Green's walked eight batters. In what is expected to be a rebuilding year, Arizona may have the space to carry the soon-to-be 24-year-old Green for low-leverage appearances where multiple relief innings are required.
