According to Josh Norris, C Gary Sanchez will likely have to wait a few more weeks before being promoted to Double-A Trenton. The Yankees want him to catch all the hard-throwers on the High-A Tampa pitching staff so he can work on his ability to receive big velocity.
Triple-A Scranton (10-7 win over Rochester)
- 2B Walt Ibarra: 2-5, 2 R, 1 2B, 1 HR, 1 RBI, 2 K

- RF Fernando Martinez: 0-3, 1 RBI, 1 HBP — organizational debut
