DotF: Judge homers but Trenton loses again

RHP Jared Burton (lat) was activated off the minor league disabled list and sent to High-A Tampa, reports Brendan Kuty. I’m sure the big league vet will only make a few tune-up appearances with Tampa before joining the Triple-A Scranton bullpen.

Triple-A Scranton (3-1 loss to Gwinnett)

• CF Slade Heathcott: 3-4, 1 R — 21-for-51 (.412) in his last 13 games
• LF Ramon Flores & 2B Rob Refsnyder: both 1-4, 1 K — Flores threw a runner out at the plate
• RF Tyler Austin: 0-4, 2 K — threw a runner out at second … he’s really been struggling at the plate for a few weeks now
• C Austin Romine: 0-4, 2 K
• RHP Kyle Davies: 7 IP, 10 H, 3 R, 3 ER, 0 BB, 3 K, 1 Balk, 7/7 GB/FB, 1 E (throwing) — 69 of 103 pitches were strikes (70%)
• LHP Jacob Lindgren: 1 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 ER, 1 BB, 2 K, 1/0 GB/FB — ten of 15 pitches were strikes (67%) … ho hum
• RHP Nick Rumbelow: 1 IP, zeroes, 2 K, 0/1 GB/FB — seven of ten pitches were strikes

Double-A Trenton (5-2 loss to Erie)

• LF Jake Cave: 1-3, 1 R, 1 BB
• RF Aaron Judge: 1-4, 1 R, 1 HR, 2 RBI — three homers in his last nine games
• 1B Greg Bird: 1-4, 1 K
• 3B Eric Jagielo: 0-4, 1 K
• C Gary Sanchez: 1-4, 2 K
• CF Mason Williams: 1-3, 1 2B, 1 K
• SS Cito Culver: 0-3 — he’s hitting .133/.138/.205 on the season, by the way … might be time to try that arm on the mound
• RHP Luis Severino: 6 IP, 6 H, 3 R, 3 ER, 1 BB, 5 K, 7/3 GB/FB — 62 of 98 pitches were strikes (63%) … allowed all three runs on three hits and a walk in the first inning, so he went 5 IP, 3 H, 0 R, 0 ER, 0 BB, 4 K from innings two through six

High-A Tampa (9-3 win over Dunedin)

• 2B Abi Avelino: 3-4, 3 R, 1 2B, 1 RBI, 1 SB, 1 HBP — was 1-for-13 (.077) in his first three games with Tampa

• RHP Jared Burton: 2 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 0 ER, 2 BB, 2 K, 2/0 GB/FB — 19 of 33 pitches were strikes (58%) in his season debut

Low-A Charleston had a scheduled off-day.
