Remember how we wrote Sunday night about how the Yankees hadĀ better be careful with Jake Cousins’Ā singular minor-league option? Well, they’re breaking glass long before any perceived emergency.

Less than 48 hours after an oddball roster swap in which Clayton Beeter was demoted after his MLB debut toĀ usher left-hander Tanner TullyĀ to the big-league roster, things suddenly make a bit more sense.

Remember howĀ Aaron Boone assured fans that BeeterĀ would be making the trip to Houston, but insinuated something could interfere with his Opening Day roster spot if it were to get finalized? It now seems likely that the Cousins trade was that special something.

The Yankees have recalled Cousins the day after acquiring him, DFA’ing Tully before he could make an appearance with the team (though he presumably enjoyed Sunday afternoon’s exciting win in Houston). Beeter will continue to get stretched out at Triple-A after finishing the Astros in the ninth on Friday (on three pitches, no less).
