Jake Bird\u2019s tumultuous time with the Yankees hit another bump Monday night, as the right-hander gave up a three-run homer to Mike Trout and was then optioned to Triple-A Scranton\/Wilkes-Barre following an 11-10 win over the Angels<\/a> in The Bronx.<\/p>\n

Bird, who struggled after being acquired from Colorado prior to last year\u2019s trade deadline, got off to a promising start this season, with four straight scoreless appearances.<\/p>\n

But he gave up three runs in a loss to Miami on April 5 and then allowed the first homer by a Yankees reliever this season when Trout took him deep to tie the game in the sixth.<\/p>\n

Boone said the Yankees were \u201ca little short\u201d in the bullpen Monday, as they planned on staying away from Brent Headrick and Ryan Yarbrough.<\/p>\n
