Earlier today the Yankees officially announced they have signed 35 of their 41 draft picks. The signing deadline was 5pm ET this afternoon. There were no surprises among the 35 players, it’s everyone who has been trickling in over the last few weeks. All of New York’s draft picks are right here. The guys in bold are signed.
Update: C Gary Sanchez was promoted to Triple-A Scranton following tonight’s game, reports Jack Curry. That probably means C Austin Romine’s thumb injury will keep him out a while.
Triple-A Scranton (4-1 win over Louisville)
- SS Cole Figueroa: 3-5, 1 R, 1 2B — has been playing a little more shortstop of late, makes me wonder if the Yankees are getting ready to cut ties with Brendan Ryan when Carlos Beltran returns
- 2B Jose Pirela: 2-4, 1 R, 1 RBI, 1 BB, 1 SB — go-ahead single in the top of the ninth
- LF Ramon Flores: 0-1, 1 K, 1 HBP — left the game after the hit-by-pitch
- CF Aaron Judge: 2-4, 1 2B, 2 RBI, 1 K, 1 SB — threw a runner out at second … the full Aaron Judge experience was on display
- DH Greg Bird: 1-5, 1 K
- C Austin Romine: 0-2, 1 K — Sweeny Murti says he left the game after aggravating a thumb injury he suffered before the All-Star break
