3B Eric Jagielo tweaked his hamstring in Extended Spring Training and will miss a few weeks, reports Robert Pimpsner. The Yankees selected Jagielo in the first round of last week’s draft and signed him for $1.84M a few days ago. That didn’t take very long, did it?
Meanwhile, RHP Mark Montgomery was activated off the DL, according to Donnie Collins. He missed about a week with shoulder fatigue. See? It’s not all bad news.
Triple-A Scranton (7-0 win over Lehigh Valley)
- C J.R. Murphy: 3-6, 1 R, 1 RBI — first hits at this level, this was his third game
- LF Zoilo Almonte: 4-5, 1 R — ten hits in his last 23 at-bats (.435)
- LHP David Huff: 4.1 IP, 2 H, 0 R, 0 ER, 0 BB, 2 K, 5/4 GB/FB — 37 of 56 pitches were strikes (66.1%)
- RHP Mark Montgomery: 0.2 IP, zeroes, 1 K, 0/1 GB/FB — five of 11 pitches were strikes … I wonder if they’ll use him as a traditional one-inning reliever now instead of stretching him out for five or six outs

High-A Tampa is off until Monday for the All-Star break. The Florida State League North Division Team beat the South Division Team by the score of 8-1. Here’s the box score. Only two Yankees farmhands were elected to the game.

There is only one 2013 draftee playing in the College World Series this year: seventh rounder LSU RHP Nick Rumbelow. The Tigers play their first CWS game tomorrow. He’s a reliever though, so who knows if or when he’ll actually get into a game.
