The Yankees released IF Gil Velazquez, RHP Ryan Pope, and LF/DH Cody Johnson from their Triple-A squad today. OF Thomas Neal was activated off the DL while IF Alberto Gonzalez was officially added to the roster after being acquired in a trade last week.
Triple-A Scranton (4-3 win over Gwinnett)

- RHP Chien-Ming Wang: 7.2 IP, 6 H, 3 R, 3 ER, 1 BB, 3 K, 1 HB, 18/2 GB/FB — he’s got three more starts left before his next opt-out date
- RHP Cody Eppley: 0.2 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 ER, 1 BB, 0 K, 1/1 GB/FB — only six of 13 pitches were strikes (46%)

- LHP Jeremy Bleich: 3 IP, 2 H, 0 R, 0 ER, 0 BB, 0 K, 6/1 GB/FB — 24 of 39 pitches were strikes (62%) … he started because the weather was a mess and there a chance the game would be delayed
- LHP Matt Tracy: 5.2 IP, 2 H, 2 R, 2 ER, 3 BB, 2 K, 9/3 GB/FB — 61 of 110 pitches were strikes (61%) … wound up coming out of the bullpen when the rain never came
- RHP Matt Daley: 0.1 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 0 ER, 0 BB, 1 K — ten pitches, six strikes … first time he’s entered a game in the middle of an inning, so he’s coming along well and should be back in Triple-A soon
High-A Tampa was rained out. I don’t know when of if they’re going to make this game up, but it will not be tomorrow.
Low-A Charleston (8-0 win over Hickory) they faced LHP Sam Stafford, who the Yankees drafted in the second round of the 2011 draft but did not sign after a shoulder problem popped up during his pre-signing physical
- CF Jake Cave: 1-4, 1 R, 1 RBI, 1 BB, 2 K — eight hits in his last 22 at-bats (.364)
- SS Cito Culver: 0-3, 1 R, 1 BB
- DH Greg Bird: 2-3, 1 R, 2 2B, 1 RBI, 1 BB — 29 walks in 32 games
- 3B Dante Bichette Jr.: 0-4, 2 K
- C Peter O’Brien: 1-4, 1 R, 2 RBI, 1 K
- 1B Rey Nunez: 3-4, 1 R, 1 2B, 1 HR, 4 RBI — eight hits in his last 15 at-bats (.533)
- RHP Gabe Encinas: 2.2 IP, 2 H, 0 R, 0 ER, 2 BB, 3 K, 1 Balk, 4/0 GB/FB — 35 of 51 pitches were strikes (69%) … he left the game with some kind of injury, no idea what or how severe … either way, not good, he’s have a strong breakout season
