Nova dominates in Triple-A blowout win

Sabathia carries Yankees to sweep over Indians

Update (10:35pm): Boesch left tonight’s Triple-A Scranton game with shoulder tightness, according to Collins. He has been battling it for a while and will go for an MRI.

Got a bunch more roster moves to pass along, courtesy of Donnie Collins and Mike Ashmore:

  • RHP Cody Eppley has been released. The Yankees got 40 good innings out of him last year (46, really), which is enough to make it a successful waiver claim. He was just awful this year, however.
  • Triple-A Scranton sent 1B Luke Murton to Short Season Staten Island (paper move) and RHP Caleb Cotham to Double-A Trenton.
  • IF Walt Ibarra and RHP Matt Daley promoted from Double-A Trenton to Triple-A Scranton.
  • OF Shane Brown has been activated off the Double-A Trenton DL.

Triple-A Scranton (8-0 win over Syracuse)

  • DH Thomas Neal: 1-4, 1 2B, 1 BB, 1 K
  • CF Zoilo Almonte: 1-4, 1 R, 1 BB, 2 K — 14 hits in his last 40 at-bats (.350)
  • 3B-RF Ronnie Mustelier: 1-4, 1 R, 1 K
  • LF Melky Mesa: 1-4, 1 R, 1 K
  • RF Brennan Boesch: 1-2, 1 R, 1 2B — he left the game after the third inning, which means he’s either hurt (likely), traded (unlikely), or coming to the big leagues (which means someone else is hurt)
  • RHP Ivan Nova: 6 IP, 2 H, 0 R, 0 ER, 2 BB, 6 K, 6/2 GB/FB — 46 of 70 pitches were strikes (66%) … I assume he’ll get stretched out to 100+ pitches soon, it would be a waste if they didn’t
  • LHP David Huff: 3 IP, 3 H, 0 R, 0 ER, 0 BB, 2 K, 5/1 GB/FB — 27 of 33 pitches were strikes (82%)

Double-A Trenton (10-6 win over Binghamton)

  • LF Ramon Flores: 2-4, 2 R, 1 BB, 1 K — 31 walks in 57 games after 54 in 132 last year
  • CF Slade Heathcott: 2-5, 2 R, 1 3B, 2 RBI, 1 K
  • RF Tyler Austin: 3-4, 2 R, 1 RBI, 1 BB — 14 hits in his last 37 at-bats (.378)
  • C J.R. Murphy: 0-4, 2 R, 1 BB
  • LHP Francisco Rondon: 1.2 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 ER, 3 BB, 1 K, 1 HB, 2/0 GB/FB — 18 of 35 pitches were strikes (51%) … 32/29 K/BB in 40.2 innings
  • RHP Tommy Kahnle: 1 IP, zeroes, 0/2 GB/FB — eight of 13 pitches were strikes (62%)

High-A Tampa (6-3 loss to Palm Beach)

  • 2B Angelo Gumbs: 2-5, 1 R
  • CF Ben Gamel & DH Rob Refsnyder: both 0-4
  • C Gary Sanchez: 1-4, 1 2B, 2 RBI — 12 hits in his last 40 at-bats (.300)
  • RHP Shane Greene: 6.1 IP, 8 H, 5 R, 5 ER, 1 BB, 2 K, 10/5 GB/FB — he’s been great this year, bad starts happen
  • RHP Branden Pinder: 1.2 IP, zeroes, 2/1 GB/FB — first game since the demotion
  • RHP Charley Short: 1 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 0 ER, 0 BB, 3 K — 41/7 K/BB in 25.1 innings

Low-A Charleston‘s game was suspended due to rain with two outs in the top of the third. They’ll finish the game tomorrow. Here’s the box score if you can’t wait until them.
