Social Media Reacts To de los Santos Update

Here’s what people were saying about the news on social media:
Max Mannis: “Yerry has pitched in two games for the Yankees this year, thrown a combined 98 pitches, and got sent right back down each time. Tough biz. So who’s coming up? Kervin Castro is the most obvious 40 man guy, but they do have open 40 man spots if they wanna give Yovanny Cruz a shot”
@pauly_yankees: “He’ll be back. Great stuff tonight!”
@uppercasethree: “???????why??? they literally brought him up today??”
@jazz4mvp: “Makes sense. Need a fresh arm especially for tomorrow”
@MattNethercott_: “Yerry De Los Santos has been optioned to AAA Scranton. With Weathers not starting tomorrow due to illness, the Yankees will likely make a move for someone who can give some innings.”
@aybaybaydelia: “He was good tho”
