A few notes to pass along:
- The Yankees optioned RHP Chad Green to Triple-A Scranton following last night’s game, the team announced. There have been a few unconfirmed reports floating around saying RHP Gio Gallegos is coming up to replace him, which makes sense given the available options. The Yankees haven’t announced anything though.
- RHP Albert Abreu is on the High-A Tampa disabled list with elbow inflammation, reports Antonio Mendes. It’s considered precautionary. That’s encouraging, I guess, but anytime you hear a top pitching prospect is out with an elbow issue, it’s never good. Hopefully this doesn’t turn into something more serious.
- Matt Eddy reports the Yankees have signed RHP Wilser Barrios and RHP Daison Manzano to minor league deals. I can’t find anything about them, so chances are they are late 2016-17 international signing period free agent pickups.
Triple-A Scranton (5-2 win over Pawtucket)
- SS Tyler Wade: 2-5, 1 R, 1 2B, 2 K — got picked off first
- CF Dustin Fowler: 0-5, 4 K
- LF Clint Frazier: 1-4, 1 K — 18-for-60 (.300) in his last 14 games
- 2B Rob Refsnyder: 1-4, 1 R, 1 2B, 1 SB
- RF Mason Williams: 1-3, 1 R, 1 RBI, 1 K
- LHP Caleb Smith: 5 IP, 3 H, 1 R, 1 ER, 2 BB, 4 K, 2 HB, 3/5 GB/FB — 54 of 82 pitches were strikes (66%), plus he picked a runner off first
- RHP Ben Heller: 2 IP, 2 H, 0 R, 0 ER, 0 BB, 1 K, 3/0 GB/FB — 22 of 29 pitches were strikes (76%) … throwing two innings and 29 pitches today likely rules him out for a call-up tomorrow
Double-A Trenton (4-2 loss to Akron)
- 2B Thairo Estrada: 1-3, 1 BB, 1 CS — 11/14 K/BB in 26 games for the 21-year-old
- CF Jake Cave & SS Gleyber Torres: both 0-4 — Gleyber struck out

- RF Billy McKinney: 1-3, 1 RBI — 6-for-11 (.545) in his last three games … nice to see some signs of life

High-A Tampa (4-2 loss to Dunedin)
- SS Jorge Mateo: 2-5, 1 2B — 13-for-56 (.232) in his last 13 games, which is actually an improvement from what he was doing earlier
- CF Jeff Hendrix: 1-3, 1 R, 2 BB
- LF Tito Polo: 1-4, 1 R, 1 2B, 1 BB, 2 K
- RF Trey Amburgey: 0-3, 1 BB, 2 K — threw a runner out at second
- 2B Nick Solak: 1-2, 2 BB — 17-for-47 (.362) with nine walks and four strikeouts in his last 16 games
- 3B Kyle Holder: 1-3, 1 BB, 1 E (fielding)
- LHP Josh Rogers: 7 IP, 7 H, 4 R, 4 ER, 0 BB, 7 K, 1 HB, 7/2 GB/FB — 60 of 86 pitches were strikes (70%) … at least three runs allowed in four of his six starts this season … last season he did it only six times in 20 start at this level
Low-A Charleston (11-2 win over Hickory)
- CF Estevan Florial: 2-5, 2 R, 1 2B, 1 HR, 3 RBI, 2 K — still mashing, still striking out … he’s everything Tim Battle was supposed to be
- 3B Angel Aguilar: 0-3, 2 BB
- 2B Hoy Jun Park: 0-4, 2 R, 1 BB, 1 K
- CF Blake Rutherford: 4-5, 2 R, 2 3B, 3 RBI — had gone 5-for-26 (.192) in his previous seven games
- C Donny Sands: 1-5, 1 R, 1 2B, 1 RBI, 3 K, 1 PB
- RF Isiah Gilliam: 3-4, 2 R, 2 2B, 1 BB — 12-for-23 (.522) with four doubles and home homer during his little seven-game hitting streak
- SS Diego Castillo: 0-5, 2 K
- RHP Jio Orozco: 5 IP, 2 H, 0 R, 0 ER, 2 BB, 3 K, 1 WP, 1 Balk, 5/5 GB/FB — 53 of 79 pitches were strikes (67%) … earned runs allowed by start: 1, 6, 2, 1, 8, 0 … there’s no middle ground, either he’s great or awful
