Triple-A Scranton (4-3 loss to Lehigh Valley in eleven innings)
- C J.R. Murphy: 1-6, 3 K
- CF Melky Mesa: 1-3, 1 R, 2 RBI, 1 SB, 1 HBP — still mashin’

- LF Ronnie Mustelier: 2-4, 1 2B, 1 BB, 1 K
- RHP Graham Stoneburner: 4 IP, 5 H, 2 R, 2 ER, 0 BB, 2 K, 4/5 GB/FB — 41 of 62 pitches were strikes (66%) … rotation is pretty thin due to injuries and the David Huff call-up, so he’s back with the club
- RHP David Herndon: 2 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 0 ER, 0 BB, 1 K, 4/0 GB/FB — 15 of 16 pitches were strikes … he’s thrown well following Tommy John surgery, have to think the Yankees will add him to the 40-man roster after the season to keep him around as an extra bullpen arm next year
- LHP Cesar Cabral: 1 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 ER, 1 BB, 3 K — ten of 18 pitches were strikes (56%) … 21/4 K/BB in his last 16.2 innings … depending on the team’s plans for Boone Logan, Cabral could find himself back on the 40-man this winter
- RHP Corey Patterson: 1 IP, 3 H, 1 R, 1 ER, 0 BB, 0 K, 1/2 GB/FB — 11 of 16 pitches were strikes (69%) … he’s the third different position player to pitch in the system the last two days

- LHP Nik Turley: 3 IP, 5 H, 9 R, 9 ER, 5 BB, 2 K, 1 WP, 1 HB, 1/4 GB/FB — only 39 of 85 pitches were strikes (46%) … safe to say he’s been a pretty big disappointment this year

- 3B Eric Jagielo: 1-4, 1 R, 1 HR, 1 RBI, 3 K — seven hits in his last 28 at-bats (.250) with five doubles and a homer, so the power’s there
