The New York Yankees placed reliever Ian Hamilton on the seven-day COVID-19 injured list on Monday.

The move is retroactive to Sunday for the right-hander, who is tied for second on the team with 19 appearances.

Hamilton, 28, has no decisions and a 3.18 ERA with six holds and 19 strikeouts in 22 2/3 innings.

The Yankees added left-hander Clayton Andrews to the active roster and designated right-hander Colby White for assignment in corresponding moves.

Andrews, 27, made his major league debut last season with the Milwaukee Brewers. He is 0-2 with a 6.60 ERA in 12 relief appearances at Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre.

White, 25, was claimed off waivers from the Tampa Bay Rays on May 9 and has yet to make his MLB debut. He is 0-2 with an 18.36 ERA in 11 games (one start) this season between Triple-A Durham and Double-A Somerset.
