Huffman Gets Call to Majors

Marcus Thames left in the fifth inning of Saturday’s game with a strained hamstring. He will be placed on the disabled list and his spot will be taken by former Fort Wayne Wizard, Chad Huffman.

The Yankees claimed Huffman on waivers from the Padres in April. With Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre, he was hitting .279/.344/.416 with five homers and 22 RBIsin 190 at-bats.

Huffman was a 2nd round selection of the San Diego Padres (53rd overall) in the 2006 amateur entry draft. With the Wizards in 2006, Huffman appeared in five games as the seasoned waned at Memorial Stadium. He started the following season at Lake Elsinore.
