DotF: Austin goes deep again in Trenton’s win

Another promotion: RHP Cale Coshow was bumped up to Double-A Trenton, so says Nick Flammia. Coshow has a 2.01 ERA (2.40 FIP) with a 24.8 K% and 4.9 BB% in 80.2 innings split between Low-A Charleston and High-A Tampa this year. The big (listed at 6-foot-5 and 260 lbs.!) hard-thrower started the season in the bullpen before moving to the rotation. Coshow was the team’s 13th round pick in 2013.

Triple-A Scranton (4-2 loss to Toledo)

• CF Ben Gamel: 1-4, 1 R, 1 3B, 2 K — another day, another triple
• 2B Rob Refsnyder: 0-3, 1 RBI, 1 K
• 1B Greg Bird: 1-4, 1 2B — has an extra-base hit in four of his last six games
• C Gary Sanchez: 2-4, 1 R, 1 2B, 1 K — my guess is he gets a September call-up to be the third catcher but rarely catches, a la Jesus Montero in 2011 … Montero caught three games that September but only a full nine innings once, after the team clinched the division
• RF Aaron Judge: 1-4, 1 2B, 1 RBI, 3 K — 42 extra-base hits in 97 games this year after 45 extra-base hits in 131 games last year, so the power’s coming

• RHP Joel De La Cruz: 5 IP, 4 H, 2 R, 2 ER, 1 BB, 6 K, 1 HB, 3/5 GB/FB — 52 of 81 pitches were strikes (64%)

• RF Jhalan Jackson: 2-4, 2 R, 1 2B, 1 3B, 5 RBI, 2 K — he’s an RBI guy, what can you say

Rookie level GCL Yanks1 Game Two was rained out. It’ll be made up as part of a doubleheader later this month. I’m not sure of the exact date because they have so many doubleheaders already scheduled that I’m not sure which games are being made up when.

Rookie level GCL Yanks2 are off this weekend for some reason. Both Saturday and Sunday. Weird.
