Yankees released RHP Scott Erickson.
Erickson allowed 12 runs -- 10 earned -- in 11 1/3 innings before being designated for assignment on June 11.
Red Sox designated first baseman J.T. Snow for assignment.
Snow hit .205/.340/.205 in 44 at-bats for the Red Sox. Maybe he's still capable of hitting .275/.343/.365 like he did with the Giants last season, but it would take a lot more at-bats than the Red Sox had to give him. Boston will try to trade him over the next 10 days. It figures to be difficult to find a taker.
