Some quick notes:
- LHP Dietrich Enns was including this week’s Monday Morning Ten Pack. It’s behind the paywall, so I can’t give away too much, but the scouting report is glowing: “Enns profiles as a major-league lefty specialist already, with upside beyond that. With further refinement of his secondary pitches and gains in stamina and command, I won’t be surprised at all if he’s holding down a spot in the middle of the Yankees rotation in a year or two.”
- Thanks to last week’s combined no-hitter, RHP Ronald Herrera has been named the Double-A Eastern League Pitcher of the Week. Herrera is only 20 years old, you know. He’s nearly four years younger than the average EL player.
- According to Matt Kardos, LHP Evan Rutckyj will have surgery tomorrow. He was placed on the Double-A DL ten days ago with a sore elbow. I don’t know if he’s having Tommy John surgery or something else entirely. Rutckyj was in camp with the Braves as a Rule 5 Draft this year.
- The Yankees have released LHP Preston Jamison, reports Matt Eddy. The Yankees signed him as a minor league free agent back in March and he never did throw a pitch this season.
Triple-A Scranton (5-3 loss to Buffalo)
- 3B Donovan Solano: 2-5, 1 R, 1 2B, 2 K, 1 E (throwing) — not saying he’s a call-up candidate, but hitting .306/.333/.353 won’t hurt his case
- RF Aaron Judge: 1-4, 1 2B, 1 RBI, 1 BB, 1 K
- CF Slade Heathcott: 0-5, 1 K
- 1B Nick Swisher: 1-4, 2 K — stupid Yankees didn’t call him up and now he’s in a 5-for-24 (.208) slump! … someone, somewhere is saying that right now
- DH Rob Refsnyder: 2-4, 1 R, 1 2B
- C Eddy Rodriguez: 2-3, 1 R, 1 HR, 2 RBI, 1 BB — E-Rod with a game that would make A-Rod proud

- RHP Luis Cessa: 5 IP, 3 H, 3 R, 2 ER, 3 BB, 2 K, 9/2 GB/FB — 49 of 81 pitches were strikes (60%) … fourth outing with the RailRiders is his worst
- LHP Daniel Camarena: 2 IP, 3 H, 2 R, 2 ER, 2 BB, 1 K, 1/2 GB/FB — 26 of 44 pitches were strikes (59%) … so I guess he’s back up here now

- 3B Thairo Estrada: 2-4, 1 CS
- 2B Hoy Jun Park: 1-3
