DotF: Bridges homers again in GCL Yanks win

Got some stuff to pass along, starting with a few notable promotions:

LHP Jacob Lindgren has been promoted from High-A Tampa to Double-A Trenton, according to his father’s Twitter feed. Not surprising at all. Might not be his last promotion of the year either. Also, LHP Ian Clarkin was promoted from Low-A Charleston to Tampa, says Nicholas Flammia. Aggressive move for a 19-year-old but the Yankees aren’t shy about rushing guys up the ladder. And finally, RHP Nick Rumbelow has been bumped up from Trenton to Triple-A Scranton, according to Mike Ashmore.
According to Ben Badler (no subs. req’d), the Yankees backed out of a $2.1M verbal agreement with 16-year-old Dominican shortstop Christopher Torres. VP of Baseball Ops Mark Newman denied the two sides had agreement in place and he also declined to say if the Yankees were disciplined by MLB. Read the article. There’s a lot going on there.

2B Jose Pirela: 2-5, 3 R, 1 2B, 1 RBI, 1 K — 17-for-44 (.386) with three doubles and two triples in his last ten games

Double-A Trenton had a scheduled off-day.

High-A Tampa‘s game was cancelled due to rain. They don’t play Jupiter again this season, so the game will not be made up.

Low-A Charleston‘s doubleheader was rained out. They’re going to play a doubleheader each of the next two days to make these games up.
