DotF: Sheffield, Andujar lead Trenton to doubleheader sweep

As expected, SS Gleyber Torres was placed on the Triple-A Scranton disabled list today, the team announced. He hyper-extended his elbow on a play at the plate yesterday. X-rays came back negative, so that’s good, though Torres will have more tests tomorrow.

Triple-A Scranton (2-0 win over Buffalo in seven innings) completed early due to rain

• SS Tyler Wade: 1-4, 1 E (throwing) — hitting streak is up to 18 games
• LF Dustin Fowler & DH Clint Frazier: both 0-3 — Fowler scored a run
• 1B Tyler Austin: 0-2, 1 RBI
• CF Jake Cave: 2-3, 1 2B
• LHP Caleb Smith: 7 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 0 ER, 2 BB, 7 K, 7/6 GB/FB — 58 of 84 pitches were strikes (69%)

Double-A Trenton Game One (6-0 win over Erie) they roughed up Tigers RHP Beau Burrows, the 22nd pick in the 2015 draft

• SS Thairo Estrada: 2-4, 1 R, 1 RBI, 1 K
• CF Rashad Crawford & 3B Miguel Andujar: both 1-3, 1 RBI — Crawford scored a run
• RF Billy McKinney: 0-3, 1 K
• 2B Abi Avelino: 1-3, 1 R, 1 2B, 2 RBI
• LHP Justus Sheffield: 7 IP, 3 H, 0 R, 0 ER, 1 BB, 3 K, 1 WP, 1 HB, 8/8 GB/FB — 62 of 97 pitches were strikes … he’s cut his walk rate down to 7.7% on the season, so that’s good

Double-A Trenton Game Two (4-2 win over Erie in seven innings) makeup of their May 6th rainout

• SS Thairo Estrada: 1-4, 1 R, 1 2B, 1 K — it’s always a good day to play two during the Summer of Thairo
• RF Billy McKinney: 2-3, 2 R, 1 2B, 1 HR, 2 RBI — 10-for-26 (.385) with three doubles and three homers in his last eight games
• 3B Miguel Andujar: 2-3, 1 R, 1 2B — now hitting .416/.455/.634 with a 12.7% strikeout rate in his last 26 games
• 2B Abi Avelino: 0-3, 1 RBI
• LHP Daniel Camarena: 4 IP, 5 H, 2 R, 2 ER, 0 BB, 2 K, 7/2 GB/FB — 35 of 46 pitches were strikes (76%) … he’d been out since May 13th with a shoulder issue … my guess is he’ll head back to Scranton next because they need a starter right now … the Yankees probably had him start here because of the doubleheader

High-A Tampa is off until tomorrow for the All-Star break.

Low-A Charleston (5-1 win over Columbia)

• 2B Hoy Jun Park: 1-4, 1 R
• SS Diego Castillo & 3B Angel Aguilar: both 2-4, 1 R — Castillo committed a fielding … Aguilar doubled
• CF Blake Rutherford: 1-4, 1 2B, 1 RBI, 1 K — only one homer so far, but that’s his 15th double in 51 games … soon enough they’ll start carrying over the fence
• LF Estevan Florial & RF Isiah Gilliam: both 1-4, 1 RBI —  Florial struck out twice … Gilliam doubled and struck out once
• C Donny Sands: 1-4, 1 2B, 2 RBI, 1 K
• RHP Nick Green: 5 IP, 5 H, 1 R, 1 ER, 1 BB, 4 K, 9/3 GB/FB — 51 of 83 pitches were strikes (61%) … he’s allowed nine earned runs in his nine starts and 48 innings, and four of those nine earned runs came in one start
• RHP Matt Frawley: 2 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 0 ER, 0 BB, 4 K, 2/0 GB/FB — 27 of 35 pitches were strikes (77%) … 40/4 K/BB in 37.1 innings this season … the Yankees got him from the Pirates a few days ago to complete the Johnny Barbato trade
