8/25/24 Yankees designate relief pitcher for assignment in surprising roster move. The New York Yankees designated relief pitcher Michael Tonkin for assignment, the team announced Sunday. In somewhat of a surprising move, Tonkin had been a reliable bullpen arm for the Yankees since he was claimed from the New York Mets on April 22. Despite posting a 3.38 ERA with 57 strikeouts in 56 innings, the Yankees feel they need to make room with a handful of bullpen reinforcements on the way back from injuries. Tonkin recorded a 2.36 ERA in 45.2 innings during the first half of the season.

7/24/24 Yankees' trusty reliever burned by former team as summer snag continues. Michael Tonkin took the loss on Tuesday night against the Mets, giving up a home run to Jeff McNeil. AP By Max Goodman | NJ Advance Media for NJ.com NEW YORK — No matter what happens for the rest of the regular season, Michael Tonkin has already exceeded expectations with the Yankees . The right-hander was brought in off the scrap heap after being designated for assignment for a third time (twice by the Mets) back in April, transforming into a high-leverage weapon in pinstripes.

7/23/24 Yankees' Michael Tonkin comes up short vs. ex-Mets teammates. Whether he is pitching for or against the Mets this season, Michael Tonkin has had zero luck. After the righty reliever's season began disastrously wearing a Mets jersey, his successful comeback in pinstripes took a detour against those same Mets in a 3-2 Yankees loss in The Bronx on Tuesday night. Called upon in the sixth inning of a tie game, Tonkin witnessed the same kind of results he experienced as a Met reappear against his old club. A dejected Michael Tonkin walks back to the mound after giving up a two-run homer during the sixth inning of the Yankees' 3-2 loss to the Mets.

6/27/24 Pitcher Mets cut twice: 'A couple bad outings' not enough to 'lose your job' over. New York Yankees pitcher Michael Tonkin faced the Mets for the first time since they DFA'd him — for the second time. (AP Photo/Charlie Riedel) AP By Manny Gómez | NJ Advance Media for NJ.com NEW YORK — To say that former Mets reliever Michael Tonkin has had an unusual season would be an understatement. During the Subway Series, Tonkin returned to Citi Field as a member of the Yankees, the third team he's played for, along with the Twins, this season. It's the first time he's faced the Mets since they designated him for assignment for the second time on April 22.

6/11/24 Have the Yankees Unlocked Something in This Pitcher?. Before Michael Tonkin was claimed by the New York Yankees off waivers, he was designated for assignment three times in the first month of the season. The 34-year-old right-handed reliever had struggled in two separate stints with the New York Mets, which sandwiched a lone game with the Minnesota Twins, and had an ERA of 6.00 before the Yankees took a chance on him. Admittedly, his first game with his new team didn't go so well, as he was thrust into action in extra innings against the Milwaukee Brewers on April 26.

4/26/24 Meet Matt Blake: Yankees pitching coach and his mom are aware of your memes. Nothing gets some Yankees fans excited quite like the addition of a reliever picked up off the scrap heap. The latest example of fans sharing this belief came when the Yankees claimed Michael Tonkin from the Mets on Thursday. A 34-year-old journeyman, Tonkin has a 4.44 ERA over 192 career games and a 6.00 mark over nine MLB innings this season. Nothing special, yet some celebrated the move with memes featuring Blake.
