Notes? Notes…
- The Yankees have signed RHP Jon Meloan out of an independent league and assigned him to Double-A Trenton. The 27-year-old was the other guy in the Carlos Santana-Casey Blake trade and he has 13 games of big league experience to his credit. I remember Baseball America describing him as a fitness nut whose body was wound too tight/lacked flexibility in their Prospect Handbook. [Mike Ashmore]
- OF Cody Johnson has been placed on the DL with “left hamstring tightness.” He pulled up lame legging out an infield single the other night. C Jeff Farnham was activated off the phantom DL to take his roster spot. [Ashmore]
- RHP Craig Heyer (arm) and LHP Josh Romanski (blister) each threw 25-pitch simulated games today. IF Walt Ibarra (finger) started throwing today after getting checked out by a doctor. [Ashmore]
- C Gary Sanchez did not play tonight after leaving yesterday’s game following a collision at the plate, but he’s expected to return to the lineup sometime this weekend. Phew. [Josh Norris]
