The New York Yankees claimed right-hander Michael Tonkin off waivers from the New York Mets on Thursday.
The Mets designated Tonkin, 34, for assignment -- for the second time this month -- on Monday.
The Mets previously DFA'd Tonkin on April 5 before trading him to the Minnesota Twins a few days later. The Mets brought him back last week after the Twins DFA'd him on April 13.
