Brian Cashman told Andy McCullough he doesn’t expected LHP Vidal Nuno to return this season. That must be a pretty serious groin injury, huh? The Yankees got lucky he got hurt right after he got sent down. If he was on the MLB DL rather than the Triple-A DL, he’d be collecting a fat big league paycheck and accruing service time.
In other news, C Gary Sanchez was one of several prospects labeled “disappointing” by Keith Law (subs. req’d). “I do think his raw power will emerge more now that he’s out of Tampa, but he’ll need to show more energy behind the plate, where his receiving lags behind his throwing, and more discipline at the plate to fulfill his All-Star promise,” he wrote.
