Just as a reminder, the two Rookie GCL Yankees squads open their season tomorrow. Should be fun having two rookie ball affiliates, there are always some ridiculously great performances down there. Now there will be twice as many. Here are some more notes:
- The Yankees have signed 1B Andrew Clark and assigned him to Double-A Trenton, reports Chris Cotillo. Clark confirmed the move on his Twitter feed. The 25-year-old was mashing in an independent league — .421/.536/.816 with nine doubles, seven homers, 17 walks, and ten strikeouts in 24 games mashing — and will help fill out the injury-depleted rosters at the upper levels of the minors.
- Both 3B Eric Jagielo (hamstring) and LHP Omar Luis Rodriguez (calf) are listed on the Low-A Charleston DL according to Josh Norris. Rodriguez was the team’s last big international splash before the new spending limits were implemented.
- RHP Scottie Allen was been promoted to Double-A Trenton, reports Norris. He’s had an okay year at best (4.34 ERA and 4.18 FIP) for High-A Tampa, so this might just be a temporary thing.
- LHP James Pazos has been promoted to Low-A Charleston, reports Robert Pimpsner. He appeared in one game for Short Season Staten Island earlier this week and is presumably replacing LHP Dietrich Enns in the bullpen.
- And finally, Triple-A Scranton manager Dave Miley has been named the International League manager for the All-Star Game, reports Donnie Collins. Congrats to him, Miley’s done a really good job with the Triple-A squad over the years.
