Two quick notes:
- There have been some rumors going around that LHP Justus Sheffield and RHP Chance Adams are hurt, but they’re not. Not sure where that all started. Sheffield is pitching tomorrow and Adams is pitching Thursday, both for Double-A Trenton, according to Matt Kardos. Sheffield’s first start was pushed back by the rainouts late last week.
- The Yankees have released 1B Connor Spencer, according to Matt Eddy. He was their eighth round pick in 2014. Spencer hit .303/.368/.387 in parts of three minor league seasons. Between college and pro ball, he hit six home runs in 368 games from 2012-16. A first baseman needs a little more pop than that.

- DH Mason Williams: 0-3, 1 BB, 1 K — final game in the organization? the Yankees need to clear a 40-man roster spot for LHP Jordan Montgomery tomorrow

Double-A Trenton (6-4 win over Akron)
- SS Thairo Estrada: 2-4, 1 R, 1 2B, 1 K, 1 HBP — he’s been on base 12 times in five games so far

High-A Tampa (2-1 win over Fort Myers)
- CF Jorge Mateo: 2-4, 1 R, 1 2B, 1 BB, 1 K, 1 SB — here’s some video of the double … this is his first official game in center field … also, he’s 5-for-5 in steals through five games
