Chamberlain, who is 2-0 with a 2.83 ERA in 27 appearances this season, hasn’t allowed a run over his last eight appearances.
First baseman Mark Teixeira was in the starting lineup for Wednesday’s game against Boston, one night after he left due to a right knee contusion. Teixeira was hurt after being hit by a pitch from Jon Lester.
Jorge Posada, who replaced Teixeira, was out of the lineup Wednesday. Posada was with his 11-year-old son, who was having surgery. Posada’s son suffers from craniosynotosis, which occurs when an infant’s sutures fuse too early and it affects the growth of the brain.
The team made several other roster moves Wednesday, including claiming pitcher Jeff Marquez off waivers from the Chicago White Sox. He had pitched in one major league game, last year for Chicago.
The Yankees also transferred third baseman Eric Chavez from the 15-day to the 60-day DL, optioned pitcher Hector Noesi to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre, and added pitcher Amauri Sanit to the major league roster. Sanit was on the DL in the minors due to a leg injury.
