The Yankees recalled David Phelps from Triple-A Empire State following Wednesday’s game, the team announced. D.J. Mitchell was sent down to Triple-A in a corresponding move.

Phelps has been dealing of late -- 31 strikeouts in his last 21 innings -- and was scheduled to start Thursday, so he’s good for some serious length out of the bullpen.
