De Paula will be optioned down to Triple-A Scranton Wilkes-Barre on Monday.

De Paula pitched 3.1 innings during Sunday's blowout loss to the Tigers where he gave up a home run and walked four during his time on the mound. Fortunately for him, he wasn't the only Yankee to pitch poorly Sunday as Masahiro Tanaka and Danny Burawa combined to give up four home runs of their own, although both De Paula's and Burawa's outings were dismal enough to warrant an option back to Triple-A.

De Paula was recalled from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes Barre on Wednesday, Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports.

De Paula, a 27-year-old left hander, posted a 1.53 ERA with eight strikeouts and three walks over 17.2 innings this season at Triple-A. To clear room for De Paula on the roster, the Yankees optioned right-hander Jose Ramirez.

De Paula has not pitched yet this season after suffering a shoulder injury in spring training.

De Paula experienced soreness in his shoulder during spring training, but the extent of the injury beyond that remains unclear. The 25-year-old wasn't likely to make the big leagues this year anyway, but he'll likely be restricted to Triple-A action when he does return to full health.

De Paula will undergo an MRI after experiencing soreness in his shoulder, LoHud.com reports.

De Paula hasn't gotten much work in the spring thus far, pitching two scoreless innings in his only appearance. The 25-year-old is on the 40-man roster, but is a likely candidate to begin the season in the Triple-A rotation. Consider him day-to-day for now, though his outlook could change pending the results of the MRI.

De Paula signed a one-year contract with the Yankees on Wednesday.

De Paula's contract will net him $510,000 at the big league level or $175,000 if he winds up in the minors. The lefty can reportedly touch 95 mph, and will be brought in as a starter but he could end up in the bullpen as well.

De Paula has re-signed with the Giants on a minor league deal, MLB Daily Dish's Chris Cotillo reports.

He was designated for assignment last month to open up a spot on the 40-man roster, but he passed through waivers and will continue to offer organizational bullpen depth.

Giants designated LHP Jose De Paula for assignment.

The 26-year-old southpaw owns a 4.21 ERA, 1.38 WHIP and 41/16 K/BB ratio over 51 1/3 innings at Triple-A Fresno this season. Provided he passes through waivers, he'll continue to serve as organizational rotation depth.

Jose De Paula has a shot at winning a bullpen job with the Giants.

"I don't know a lot about him, but he's been the talk around camp right now with his early success," Giants manager Bruce Bochy said. "It's a good arm, good breaking ball. He pounds the zone on both sides. I didn't know a lot about him coming out of San Diego, but he's really opened up some eyes." De Paula was claimed off waivers from the Padres in November, and while he's still got some work to do, he could sneak onto the Opening Day roster if he continues his strong spring.

De Paula was recently removed from the Padres' 40-man roster, and the Giants decided to take a chance on the 23-year-old. The southpaw had a 3.86 ERA and 57/11 K/BB ratio over 74 2/3 innings with Double-A San Antonio this past season.
