Yankees DFA Adam Ottavino for the second time in a week

The Yankees have designated Adam Ottavino for assignment for the second time in the last week.

The move was made in order to make room for reliever Ian Hamilton on the active roster following his return from the IL.

Ottavino was first DFA'd last week when closer Devin Williams was reinstated from the paternity list, but re-signed with the Yanks on Sunday.

The 39-year-old made two appearances prior to being cut loose from the Yanks for the first time, walking two and striking out two across 1.1 scoreless innings of work.

Following his initial signing, Aaron Boone told reporters he thought there's still "a lot left" in the tank for Ottavino.

“He’s kinda been on our board a little bit," the skipper said. "I know the front office [has] been talking about him the last couple weeks as a potential. Felt like what he was doing back end of spring training was in line with who Otto is."
