Joel Sherman of the New York Post reports that Cooper Hummel triggered the release clause in his minor league contract with the Yankees on Wednesday.
The clause, when activated, gives the Yankees 72 hours to add Hummel to the big league roster, trade him or release him. It sounds like we should know before Saturday what the Bombers intend to do. The versatile 30-year-old has hit .258/.415/.290 with zero homers, two RBI and an 8/9 K/BB ratio over 41 plate appearances thus far at Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre.
