DotF: Fowler and Torres have big games in Scranton’s win

Two quick notes to pass along:

• Triple-A Scranton manager Al Pedrique told Andrew Marchand he doesn’t think SS Gleyber Torres is ready for MLB. “If you ask me today, if the call comes, he is not ready. He is headed in the right direction. I like where he is at for a 20-year-old kid to be in Triple-A. He’s very mature, but defensively, he needs more work at third and second,” said Pedrique.
• The Yankees are sending seven players to the High-A Florida State League All-Star Game: RHP Cody Carroll, RHP Zack Littell, SS Jorge Mateo, RHP Dillon McNamara, RHP Jose Mesa, Jr., OF Tito Polo, and LHP Josh Rogers. Rogers and McNamara have already been promoted to Double-A Trenton, so they won’t play in the All-Star Game. Here are the North and South rosters.
