ANDREW HEANEY NEWS

Dropped from active roster The Yankees optioned Heaney to the rookie-level Florida Complex League on Wednesday, Pete Caldera of The Bergen Record reports.

Impact After being moved out of the rotation in late August, Heaney didn't notice dramatically better results while working out of the bullpen. In seven relief appearances spanning 9.2 innings, Heaney served up 11 runs on 18 hits and one walk while striking out 10. He had gone unused since Sept. 18 and wasn't expected to factor back into the bullpen mix the rest of the way while the Yankees look to secure a wild-card berth.

Serves up another homer Heaney pitched one inning against Toronto on Thursday, allowing two runs on four hits while striking out one.

Impact The left-hander continues to get bit by the long ball -- he surrendered a one-out solo shot to Vladimir Guerrero in the top of the ninth inning. Heaney's outing didn't get much better from there, as the Blue Jays followed with three straight hits that resulted in another run. Heaney has not pitched well since joining the Yankees at the end of July, giving up 11 homers in 30.1 innings while registering a 7.71 ERA and 1.32 WHIP.

Takes loss in relief Heaney (8-9) allowed four runs on four hits in one-third of an inning to take the loss Sunday versus Baltimore.

Impact The southpaw was responsible for all four runs Baltimore hung on the board in the seventh inning. Heaney has made two appearances since shifting to a relief role, allowing six runs in 2.1 innings. He's also struggled as a starter this year, with a 5.81 ERA, 1.30 WHIP and 142:40 K:BB across 122.1 innings between the Yankees and Angels. Until he can get things sorted out, he'll likely be limited to low-leverage work in the bullpen, although he could make a spot start if the Yankees' rotation gets thin.

Ticketed for bullpen Heaney will pitch out of the bullpen Monday, Marly Rivera of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Heaney will shift roles with Corey Kluber (shoulder) set to return to the mound. While it's possible Heaney shifts into a traditional bullpen role moving forward, he is projected to piggyback Kluber in a multi-inning role Monday. Heaney has struggled to a 6.23 ERA while allowing 3.1 HR/9 across five starts since joining the Yankees.

Strikes out five in no-decision Heaney allowed two runs on three hits and one walk with five strikeouts over four innings, taking a no-decision in Tuesday's 5-4 win over the Braves.

Impact It was nothing to write home about, but Heaney did his job Tuesday night. After allowing a pair of runs in the first inning, he settled down and conceded just two singles over his remaining three innings. Though he did get an early hook, the southpaw did not give up a home run for the first time since joining the Yankees. With Domingo German and Corey Kluber cresting over the horizon in their respective returns from shoulder injuries, rotation spots may soon be at a premium in The Bronx. For now, Heaney is expected to pitch next Monday against the Angels.

Impresses in win Wednesday Heaney (8-8) took the win over Boston on Wednesday, hurling seven innings and allowing two runs on one hit and two walks while striking out four.

Impact Things didn't start well for the southpaw, as Xander Bogaerts took him deep to right field in the first frame. Heaney bounced back impressively, however, holding the Red Sox to one hit and no runs over the remainder of his outing. The veteran has struggled to keep the ball in the park since joining New York -- nine of the 16 hits he has allowed have left the yard -- but his superb outing against the division-rival Red Sox could be a step toward a turnaround. Heaney is tentatively scheduled to face the Braves in Atlanta early next week.
