Zach McAllister has been placed on the disabled list, but I have no idea why. He pitched well in the Eastern League All Star Game just yesterday, so it can’t be that bad. Meanwhile, the Yankees had their deal with Dominican shortstop Damian Arredendo voided when it turned out he isn’t who he says he is. It’s not the first time it happened, and it certainly won’t be the last.
