The Arizona Fall League rosters are out. We already knew that Ian Kennedy, Austin Romine, Brandon Laird, and Colin Curtis were going, and we know that Zach Kroenke and Mike Dunn will head to the AzFL if they don’t receive Sept. callups. The Yanks still have three pitching spots to fill, and they’re probably taxi squad spots, meaning those players will only play on Wednesdays and Saturdays. In the past, guys like Eric Wordekemper and Kevin Whelan have filled those spots.
