The Yankees have added OF Jake Cave and RHP Nick Rumbelow to their 40-man roster, per MLB.com's Bryan Hoch. 

Cave spent time with Double-A Trenton and Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre last season. In 72 games in Triple-A, he hit .324 with 15 homers and 38 RBI. The 24-year-old has yet to see time in the big leagues.

Last season with Triple-A Scranton, he posted a 0.62 ERA and 30 strikeouts in 29 innings.

The New York Yankees have some important roster choices to make by today's deadline to make changes to their 40-man roster before December's Rule 5 Draft, with any prospect added to the roster protected from potential selection. 

The Yankees have a slew of players to consider this season, some of whom are considered among their top-30 prospects.

As of Friday, the Yankees' 40-man roster stands at 39, so if they add more than one player, they'll need to determine which players they will let go in order to make room for any more additions. Some of these decisions should be easy for the organization.

The Yankees have added C Kyle Higashioka and RHP Domingo German to the 40-man roster, the team announced Friday.

They also reinstated INF Dustin Ackley and RHPs Nathan Eovaldi, Chad Green, Branden Pinder, and Nick Rumbelow from the 60-day disabled list.

Yes, the New York Yankees have compiled one of the best backend of the bullpen combinations in all of baseball. But, in doing so, have the Yankees neglected to pay enough attention to how the club will reach the dominant combination of Dellin Betances, Andrew Miller and Aroldis Chapman?

We touched on the fact that the starting rotation held some of the responsibility some weeks back, mentioning the importance of each member's ability to pitch deeper into games if they wanted to be considered an ace. Even if this improves across the line, the backend of the bullpen cannot pitch daily.

This makes the relievers charged with providing middle relief innings, as well as aiding the backend of the bullpen when rest is needed, quite important. To that end, the Yankees have decided to take a pretty big chance on relatively inexperienced relievers.
