With LHP Matt Tracy getting called up to the big leagues to help the bullpen, there were a bunch of roster shuffling in the minors to get the affiliates the arms they need. RHP Gio Gallegos went from Extended Spring Training to High-A Tampa, LHP Eric Ruth went from Tampa to Double-A Trenton, and LHP Eric Wooten when from Trenton to Triple-A Scranton, replacing Tracy. That all comes from Matt Kardos and Nicholas Flammia.
Triple-A Scranton (4-2 loss to Syracuse)
- RF Slade Heathcott: 1-5, 2 K — threw a runner out at the plate
- LF Ramon Flores: 1-4
- 2B Rob Refsnyder: 2-4, 1 2B, 1 E (fielding) — second error in two games
- DH Tyler Austin: 0-4, 2 K
- RHP Danny Burawa: 2 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 ER, 1 BB, 1 K, 2/1 GB/FB — only ten of 21 pitches were strikes (48%) … makes his first career start as the fill-in for Tracy
- LHP Jacob Lindgren: 1.2 IP, 2 H, 2 R, 0 ER, 1 BB, 1 K, 1 HBP, 4/0 GB/FB — half of his 26 pitches were strikes
- RHP Jose Ramirez: 1.2 IP, 3 H, 1 R, 1 ER, 1 BB, 2 K, 2/0 GB/FB — 21 of 38 pitches were strikes (55%), but the walk was intentional
Double-A Trenton (9-3 win over Erie)
- CF Jake Cave: 1-3, 1 R, 3 BB, 1 K — he’s reached base in eight of his 12 plate appearances so far
- RF Aaron Judge: 2-6, 1 RBI, 3 K
- 1B Greg Bird: 0-4, 1 BB, 1 K
- C Gary Sanchez: 1-3, 2 R, 1 HR, 2 RBI, 2 BB, 1 K, 1 E (throwing) — make or break year! (for some reason?)
- 3B Eric Jagielo: 2-4, 3 R, 2 HR, 2 RBI, 1 BB, 2 K, 1 E (throwing) — trying to show everyone he belonged in the Prospect Watch for the second straight year
- DH Dante Bichette Jr.: 1-3, 1 BB, 2 K, 1 HBP
- LF Mason Williams: 1-5, 1 R, 1 2B
- SS Cito Culver: 1-5, 1 R, 1 HR, 3 RBI, 1 K
- RHP Taylor Garrison: 4.1 IP, 6 H, 2 R, 2 ER, 2 BB, 3 K, 5/3 GB/FB — 57 of 90 pitches were strikes (63%) … Kardos says the Yankees are converting Garrison, a career reliever, into a starter … next Chase Whitley maybe?
- RHP Nick Goody: 2 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 0 ER, 0 BB, 3 K, 0/1 GB/FB — 21 of 26 pitches were strikes (81%)
High-A Tampa (7-3 win over Lakeland)
- CF Mark Payton: 3-5, 1 R, 1 2B, 1 3B, 1 RBI, 1 K — went 0-for-8 in the first two games of the season, but that wasn’t going to last
- SS Tyler Wade: 0-2, 1 R, 1 RBI, 1 BB
- 3B Miguel Andujar: 1-4, 1 R, 1 2B, 1 K — like I said yesterday, I hope he avoids the slow start he’s run into at each level so far
- 1B Mike Ford: 0-4, 1 RBI
- 2B Angelo Gumbs: 0-4, 1 R
- RHP Jonathan Holder: 6 IP, 3 H, 0 R, 0 ER, 0 BB, 4 K, 6/8 GB/FB — I guess the Yankees are making him a starter too … Holder was the closer at Mississippi State last year and Lindgren was his setup man
- RHP Gabe Encinas: 1.2 IP, 3 H, 3 R, 3 ER, 0 BB, 4 K, 0/1 GB/FB — he hit 97 mph on the gun … I wonder if the move to the bullpen is permanent, he might fly up the ladder if so
Low-A Charleston (2-0 win over Lexington)
- 3B Abi Avelino: 0-4, 1 SB
- SS Jorge Mateo: 1-3, 1 R, 1 2B, 1 BB, 1 K, 1 SB
- CF Dustin Fowler: 0-3, 1 BB, 1 K, 1 SB
- 1B Chris Breen: 1-2, 1 R, 1 RBI, 1 BB, 1 K, 1 SB
- DH Gosuke Katoh: 0-2, 1 BB, 1 K, 1 CS
- RF Austin Aune: 2-3, 1 3B, 1 K
- LHP Justin Kamplain: 6 IP, 2 H, 0 R, 0 ER, 1 BB, 6 K, 3/3 GB/FB — 54 of 81 pitches were strikes (67%) … last year’s 18th rounder had an unreal pro debut (43.2 IP, 26 H, 8 R, 8 ER, 13 BB, 46 K) and picked up right where he left off
- RHP Joey Maher: 1.2 IP, zeroes, 4/1 GB/FB — only eight of 17 pitches were strikes (47%)
- RHP Cale Coshow: 1.1 IP, zeroes, 1 K, 2/1 GB/FB — 12 of 17 pitches were strikes (71%) to finish off the two-hitter
