The New York Yankees put right-hander Fernando Cruz on the 15-day injured list Monday because of a strained left oblique and selected righty Geoff Hartlieb from Triple-A.

The New York Yankees rookie catcher is dealing with a circulation issue in his left hand, specifically affecting one of his fingers. The club has run Wells through a series of medical tests over the past two days to rule out any serious vascular concerns, including the type of aneurysm that sidelined former Yankees catcher Ben Rortvedt last season.

Austin Wells was sent for tests over the weekend, and the Yankees hopeful he'll resume starting behind the plate Wednesday night at Toronto.
