Eduardo Nunez traded to Twins

The Yankees have announced that Eduardo Nunez has been traded to the Minnesota Twins for minor league left-hander Miguel Sulbaran.

Nunez was designated for assignment by the Yankees before the season started after Yangervis Solarte won the final spot on the Yankees roster.

Miguel Sulbaran is 21-10 with a 3.15 ERA in 55 career minor league games. He has split time between the Dodgers and Twins. Before being traded he was pitched for Class A Cedar Rapids in the Twins organization.

Yankees place David Robertson on 15-day DL

The Yankees have placed their closer, David Robertson, on the 15-day DL with a Grade 1 strain of his left groin strain.

Robertson first felt the injury against the Blue Jays on Sunday, in which he recorded his second save of the season. After about five or six pitches, he felt irritation in his left groin. Initially, he thought it would go away overnight, but notified the team Monday morning and was quickly sent for a MRI.

Shawn Kelley will likely close out ballgames for now on until Robertson makes recovers.

The Yankees opened up Yankee Stadium for the first time in 2014 today and presented it with a 4-2 win over the Baltimore Orioles.

Hiroki Kuroda started for the Yankees and he pitched very well to pick up his first win of the season. Kuroda located his pitches and kept them down in the zone throughout the game. He got himself into some trouble in the seventh inning, but Matt Thorton and David Phelps came on to clean up the mess.

The Yankee offense was effective today. As a team they scored four runs on eight hits. Jacoby Ellsbury, Kelly Johnson, and Yangervis Solarte all contributed with RBI's in the win. Derek Jeter grounded into a double play to score Solarte in the third inning.

Shawn Kelley picked up the save today due to David Robertson's groin injury.

The Yankees and Orioles will continue their three game set with another afternoon game tomorrow.
