DotF: Flores and Severino lead RailRiders to a win

Got some notes to pass along:

Matt Kardos says C Gary Sanchez has been placed on the Double-A Trenton DL with a hand injury. He was hit by a foul tip the other day and has a bone bruise. X-rays showed no fracture. Sanchez is a few days away from returning to baseball activities according to Trenton manager Al Pedrique.
LHP Jacob Lindgren has been placed on the Triple-A Scranton DL, reports Chad Jennings. Not sure what’s wrong there but he hasn’t pitched since being demoted this past weekend. If it’s something Lindgren suffered while in MLB, the Yankees will have to call him back up and place him on the big league DL, allowing him accrue service time and receive MLB salary.
According to his Twitter feed, SS Kyle Holder is heading to Short Season Staten Island, which makes sense. He was the team’s supplemental first rounder last week ($1.8M bonus). Also, Robert Pimpsner says IF Thairo Estrada and RHP Domingo Acevedo will be with Staten Island as well. The season starts Friday.
Nick Peruffo says LHP James Pazos has been bumped up to Triple-A Scranton while RHP Caleb Cotham was send down to Double-A Trenton to clear a roster spot

Triple-A Scranton (6-4 win over Rochester)

CF Ben Gamel, RF Jose Pirela & 2B Rob Refsnyder: all 0-4 — Gamel and Pirela both drew a walk and struck out
LF Ramon Flores: 3-4, 3 R, 1 HR, 1 RBI
SS Gregorio Petit: 2-4, 1 R, 1 2B, 1 K
RHP Luis Severino: 5 IP, 4 H, 2 R, 2 ER, 3 BB, 3 K, 2/7 GB/FB — 59 of 103 pitches were strikes (57%) … this strikes me as the kind of performance that would have been much uglier against big leaguers … lots of fly balls, same number of walks as strikeouts, inefficient, etc.
RHP Jaron Long: 2 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 0 ER, 0 BB, 1 K, 4/1 GB/FB — 14 of 19 pitches were strikes (74%) … temporarily working out of the bullpen because Ivan Nova is in his rotation spot
LHP Tyler Webb: 1 IP, zeroes, 1 K, 1/0 GB/FB — nine of 13 pitches were strikes (69%)
RHP Branden Pinder: 0 IP, 1 H, 2 R, 2 ER, 1 BB, 0 K — only one of four pitches were strikes … he was ejected in the middle of an at-bat, hence the pitch count weirdness … also he’s allowed five runs in six innings since being sent down

Double-A Trenton (8-2 loss to Reading)

CF Jake Cave: 1-3, 1 BB, 1 K
2B Tony Renda: 1-4
1B Greg Bird: 2-4, 1 R, 1 2B
RF Aaron Judge: 0-4, 1 RBI, 1 K
3B Eric Jagielo: 1-2, 1 R, 1 2B, 1 K — left the game after the double in the fifth (it was a double and he went to third on an error by the outfielder), ~~so he might have pulled something running~~ … Kardos says Jagielo hurt his knee sliding into the plate … he’ll be evaluated tomorrow
LHP Caleb Smith: 6.1 IP, 5 H, 4 R, 4 ER, 2 BB, 2 K, 1 HB, 7/4 GB/FB — 62 of 95 pitches were strikes (65%)

CF Michael O’Neill: 1-4, 1 R, 1 2B, 1 K
RHP Rookie Davis: 6 IP, 10 H, 1 R, 1 ER, 0 BB, 7 K, 4/6 GB/FB — 62 of 89 pitches were strikes (70%), plus he picked a runner at first … 69/12 K/BB in 58.1 innings
