Listen: Former Mariners pitcher David Aardsma
TAMPA, Fla. (AP) – Injured pitcher David Aardsma has agreed to a $500,000, one-year contract with the New York Yankees.
Aardsma, who signed with the Yankees Wednesday, joined "The Kevin Calabro Show" to discuss his recovery from Tommy John surgery. He hopes to be back on the mound by the All-Star break.
The 30-year-old missed all of 2011. He started the season on the disabled list following surgery on the labrum of his left hip on Jan. 3 last year, felt arm soreness during a rehabilitation assignment at Triple-A Tacoma from April 19-29, then had elbow-ligament replacement surgery in July.
Selected by Colorado with the 22nd pick of the 2003 amateur draft, Aardsma is 13-15 with a 4.20 ERA in 254 relief appearances over six seasons.
To clear a roster spot, the Yankees put left-hander Pedro Feliciano on the 60-day disabled list.
