Heads to 60-day IL The Yankees placed Britton (elbow) on the 60-day injured list Monday. Impact Following Sunday's trade with the Twins, the Yankees added three new players to the 40-man roster (Josh Donaldson, Isiah Kiner-Falefa and Ben Rortvedt) and sent out only two (Gary Sanchez and Gio Urshela), so Britton's move to the 60-day IL will help open up an extra spot. Since Britton underwent Tommy John surgery Sept. 8 and also had a bone chip removed as part of the procedure, the Yankees were already preparing for him to miss most, if not all, of the 2022 campaign. The transaction won't affect his recovery timeline.
