Bryan Mitchell (second) and Jose Campos (eighth) had two of the eight best pitching performances in the minor leagues this weekend according to Game Score. Hooray for that.
The Yankees have signed right-hander Michael Dubee to a minor league deal and assigned him to Double-A Trenton. Graham Stoneburner was placed on the DL with a groin injury in the corresponding move. Dubee is the son of Phillies’ pitching coach Rich Dubee, and he’s spent six unspectacular years bouncing around the minors with the Phillies, White Sox, and Pirates.
High-A Tampa (9-6 loss to Clearwater)
CF Eduardo Sosa & 1B Kyle Roller: both 1-3, 1 BB — Sosa scored and struck out … Roller whiffed three times

LHP Andy Pettitte: 3 IP, 2 H, 1 R, 1 ER, 0 BB, 2 K, 1 WP, 4/3 GB/FB — a whopping 26 of 32 pitches were strikes (81.3%) … he’s going to take an extra day off before his next start after throwing one more inning than planned tonight … he was a “very easy” 85-87 with a strong changeup, so basically a Spring Training start
RHP Brad Meyers: 1.2 IP, 8 H, 8 R, 7 ER, 0 BB, 0 K, 1 WP, 1 HB, 1/2 GB/FB — debut for the Rule 5 Draft pick, who is on the DL with a shoulder problem … this officially starts his 30-day rehab clock
