Facts, Trivia, Memories and More about Anthony Claggett

Notes

• An injury to Xavier Nady in early 2009 prompted quite a few roster moves over the next few games. On April 16th, 2009 the Yankees recalled David Robertson (#30) from AAA Scranton to fill Nady's roster spot as Xavier moved to the DL. Robertson pitched two innings that night so being unavailable the next game, the Yankees sent him down on April 17th and called up 1B Juan Miranda (#29) from AAA Scranton. Needing another arm in the bullpen, the following day, April 18th, Miranda was sent down (not having played) and Anthony Claggett (#39) was recalled from AAA Scranton. Claggett was bombed in emergency mop-up duty that day but took his lumps to the tune of 60 pitches, rendering himself useless for a few days. So, on April 19th, the Yankees sent him back to AAA Scranton and recalled RHP Steven Jackson (#17) from AAA Scranton. On May 3, 2009, Damaso Marte was placed on the 15-day disabled list (retroactive to April, 26) and Anthony Claggett was recalled, this time being assigned #29 since Mark Melancon was now wearing #39.
