Cameron Maybin will now attempt to pick up where he left off.
The Yankees announced Friday they have reinstated the veteran outfielder from the 10-day injured list. He's been out since straining his left calf June 21.
Maybin was enjoying a surprising season before the injury. The 32-year-old is batting .314 this season with five home runs and 14 RBIs. He has a .391 on-base percentage and .891 OPS, and he homered in four consecutive games during one stretch in June.
"Let's get it," Maybin wrote on Twitter on Friday.
To clear room on the 25-man roster for Maybin, the Yankees optioned left-handed reliever Stephen Tarpley to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre. They had just recalled Tarpley on Thursday, He gave up four runs on five hits over 1 2/3 innings in Thursday's 19-3 loss to the Red Sox.
The Yankees and Boston will meet again at 7:10 Friday night at Fenway Park.
