Osuna on bereavement leave

[Obri]

The New York Yankees announced today that they have placed right-handed pitcher Antonio Osuna on the Bereavement (family leave) List -- effective Monday -- to return home to tend to a family illness. To replace Osuna on the 25-man roster, the Yankees have recalled right-hander Bret Prinz from Triple-A Columbus.
Prinz, 26, was acquired by the Yankees on July 29 with outfielder David Dellucci and catcher Jon Sprowl from the Arizona Diamondbacks for outfielder Raul Mondesi.

With Columbus, Prinz has posted a 2.08 ERA with seven strikeouts in four relief appearances (4.1IP, 6H, 1R). Prinze was 4-3 with a 4.31 ERA in 66 games with Arizona.

Prinz was originally selected by Arizona in the 18th round of the 1998 draft.

Well the way he pitched, they would be wise to keep him on the permanent Bereavement list:D


Although, his replacement Prinz, did not fare much better....3 hits and 2 runs in a third of an inning pitched....OUCH!!

Yeah, i noticed.:banghead

Come on, be fair. :no

Prinz didn't even know he was going to be called up until yesterday. He didn't even arrive until the middle of the game.

And I just don't understand why Nelson was being warmed up but Prinz was brought in instead. :umm

Sweeny has hit Nelson well in the past, so i guess that was Torre's logic....:notme:
