In case you missed it earlier, the Yankees have sent RHP David Phelps down to Double-A Trenton in an expected move. RHP Mikey O’Brien was placed on the DL with a “bad toe,” freeing up a roster spot.
For what it’s worth, the Cubs had a scout watching Double-A Trenton tonight. Could be routine coverage, could be something else. Speculate at your own risk.
