It’s a torn elbow ligament for Chris Garcia, so that all but guarantees that he’ll have his second Tommy John surgery in the last three years. For shame. Expect the Yankees to call him up, then stick him on the 60-day DL to free up a 40-man spot. It’s just a procedural move. As an added bonus, it’ll save an option since he hasn’t been down for 20 days, but he’ll pick up a year of service time.
Meanwhile, Alan Horne is putting off shoulder surgery, and instead is going to try to rehab plus PRP route. Good luck to him.
Triple-A Scranton (2-1 loss to Buffalo in 11 innings)
Kevin Russo, 2B: 1 for 5, 2 K, 1 SB
Greg Golson, CF: 0 for 5, 2 K – tough to score runs when your top two hitters combine to get on base one time all game
Juan Miranda, 1B: 1 for 4, 1 2B, 1 BB – the walk was intentional
David Winfree, LF: 1 for 5, 1 R, 1 K
Jesus Montero, C: 1 for 5 – in case you didn’t notice, the Montero Watch is up on the sidebar … sorry for the delay
Eduardo Nunez, 3 B & Colin Curtis, RF: 3 for 5, 1 BB – Nunez doubled & K’ed … Curtis drove in a run & played his third different outfield position in the first three games of the season
Robby Hammock, DH: 1 for 3, 2 K
Reegie Corona, SS: 0 for 4, 1 K – he’s been on base once in the three games
Romulo Sanchez: 4.2 IP, 3 H, 0 R, 0 ER, 3 BB, 5 K, 1 WP, 1-8 GB/FB – 47 of 86 pitches were strikes (54.7%) … I guess effectively wild would be the term to use here … love the strikeouts, but the fly balls are going to be a problem if he doesn’t get that under control
The Ghost of Kei Igawa: 2.1 IP, 2 H, 0 R, 0 ER, 1 BB, 2 K, 3-2 GB/FB – 24 of 35 pitches were strikes (68.6%) … he was the last reliever on the staff to get into a game … no respect
Mark Melancon: 2 IP, 1 H, 1 R, 1 ER, 0 BB, 1 K, 2-3 GB/FB – 19 of 27 pitches were strikes (70.4%) … served up a solo jack to Mike Hessman, just the tenth homer he’s given up in his three-plus year career
Jon Albaladejo: 2 IP, 2 H, 1 R, 1 ER, 1 BB, 1 K, 2-3 GB/FB – 19 of 28 pitches were strikes (67.9%)

Austin Krum, CF: 1 for 4, 1 R, 1 RBI, 2 K

Josh Schmidt: 1.2 IP, 1 H, 1 R, 1 ER, 0 BB, 1 K, 3-1 GB/FB – he’s probably pissed to be back with Trenton after having such a great season last year
Eric Wordekemper: 1 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 ER, 1 BB, 2 K, 0-1 GB/FB
High-A Tampa (2-0 win over Lakeland)

Hector Rabago, 2B: 1 for 3, 1 RBI, 2 K
DeAngelo Mack, LF & Luke Murton, DH: both 0 for 5 – Mack drove in a run & K’ed twice … tough to win when your 3-4 hitters do that
Rob Lyerly, 1B: 2 for 4, 1 R, 1 K
Garrison Lassiter, DH: 0 for 3, 1 BB, 2 K – stock, meet toilet … pro ball hasn’t been kind to him
Francisco Arcia, C: 1 for 2, 1 R, 2 BB
Kelvin Castro, SS: 2 for 4, 1 R, 1 RBI, 2 K
Sean Black: 5 IP, 4 H, 4 R, 2 ER, 4 BB, 2 K, 1 WP, 8-3 GB/FB – needs to sharpen up the control, obviously
