As I mentioned earlier today, C Gary Sanchez was finally promoted to Double-A Trenton. There were plenty of other roster moves made though, so let’s round them up. It all comes courtesy of Donnie Collins, Josh Norris, and Nicholas Flammia:
- Triple-A Scranton: LHP Cesar Cabral was promoted up to the club and LHP Josh Spence was released.
- Double-A Trenton: LHP Matt Tracy was placed on the DL for an unknown reason. He made one start this week after missing more than a month with a hip problem C Jeff Farnham was sent down to High-A Tampa to clear a spot for Sanchez.
- High-A Tampa: SwP Pat Venditte joined the team after rehabbing his surgically repaired right shoulder with the GCL Yanks squads. RHP Diego Moreno was bumped up to the Thunder.

- LF Ronnie Mustelier: 1-4, 1 2B
- RHP Sam Demel: 1.2 IP, zeroes, 4 K, 1/0 GB/FB — 13 of 17 pitches were strikes (76%)

- SS Cito Culver: 2-6, 1 K, 1 SB

Low-A Charleston Game One didn’t start until 10pm ET or so, and there’s no way I’m waiting for that game to end. Here’s the box score.
