St. Petersburg, FL (Sports Network) - New York Yankees infielder Ramiro Pena
underwent an appendectomy on Monday and was put on the 15-day disabled list.
Pena, who is just 2-for-25 at the plate in 14 games with the Yankees this
season, is in his third major league season.
He was replaced on the roster by infielder Brandon Laird, who was recalled
from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre. Laird was hitting .266 with 10 homers and
49 RBI in 90 games for the minor league club.
