0:47Now PlayingAfter another brutal night at the plate, Mike Ford punched his ticket out of The Bronx.
The Yankees optioned Ford to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Tuesday following their 5-3 win over the Rays at the Stadium, in which the first baseman went 0-for-3 with three strikeouts.
Ford dropped his batting average to .133 with a .561 OPS and 23 strikeouts through 22 games, most recently filling in for the injured Luke Voit.
The team did not announce a corresponding move, but first baseman Chris Gittens has been on its radar, entering Tuesday batting .268 with a 1.098 OPS.
The 27-year-old is not on the 40-man roster, but the Yankees could open a spot by transferring Corey Kluber to the 60-day IL.
