"&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The New York&amp;nbsp;Yankees&amp;nbsp;placed newly acquired utility player Dustin Ackley on the 15-day disabled list with a right lumbar strain, and recalled pitcher Caleb Cotham, the team announced Tuesday.\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;According to ESPN's Andrew Marchand, Ackley has a herniated disk.\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Ackley, who arrived in New York just last week after being traded from the Seattle Mariners, has&amp;nbsp;not yet started a game with the Yankees. He went hitless in three at-bats against the Chicago White Sox&amp;nbsp;over the weekend.&amp;nbsp;\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The 27-year-old Ackley was expected to get more at-bats this week during New York's homestand against the Boston Red Sox. He is batting .212 with six home runs and 19 RBIs this season.\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;\u2022 VERDUCCI: Ranking traded starting pitchers by potential impact&lt;/strong&gt;\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Cotham, 27, was called up from Triple A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre to fill Ackley's spot on the roster. The right-handed pitcher made his MLB debut Wednesday with the Yankees, and threw 1.2 shutout innings with four strikeouts against the Texas Rangers.\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;- Kayla Lombardo&lt;/em&gt;\r\n&lt;/p&gt;"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
