\"Arizona<\/p>\n

The New York Yankees welcomed home a familiar face to begin the week, as changes to Devin Williams’ family life necessitated a trip to the paternity list for the second series of the season, a home tilt with the Arizona Diamondbacks.<\/p>\n

In order to add depth at the last second, they turned to Adam Ottavino, recently cut free by the Boston Red Sox, and someone who clearly seemed like a target from the moment he hit the market.<\/p>\n

Otto’s career may be coming to a close in the not-so-distant future, but he was rewarded with an additional stint with his hometown team; the Brooklyn native showed off his snapdragon slider in two shutout appearances, totaling an inning and a third spread across Monday and Wednesday (leading to one win and a difficult late loss).<\/p>\n

Unfortunately, Friday marked the end of Ottavino’s audition for the rest of the league; Williams rejoined the team, as expected, in Pittsburgh, and Otto was DFA’d while still sporting a 0.00 ERA.<\/p>\n
