9:40 AM: The Yankees have announced the corresponding roster move, with Justin Wilson being activated from the injured list. Wilson last appeared almost exactly a month ago on May 28th. He owns a 6.08 ERA across 13 1/3 innings so far this season, though he was attempting to pitch through discomfort.
7:38 AM: The Yankees optioned right-hander Albert Abreu to Triple-A following last night’s defeat of the Angels. An additional roster move is likely to follow sometime before today’s 7:05 PM start.
This was already Abreu’s sixth different stint with the big-league club this year, though not every time on the roster has resulted in mound work for the 25 year old. He tossed two scoreless innings yesterday in his sixth appearance of the year. Though used sparingly, he’s been effective as a multi-inning reliever for manager Aaron Boone.
The one-time starter has been used in a similar capacity in Triple-A, tossing 15 2/3 innings in nine appearances with a 4.02 ERA. He has allowed 10 walks in that time, but he’s also proved an effective strikeout artist, recording 29 strikeouts for a robust 43 percent strikeout rate.
Yanks trying to mimic rays. Welp, If u can’t beat em…..
How are they trying to mimic the Rays?
By limiting fringe mlb pitchers innings early in the season to keep em fresh then bring them up for small stints in the show hoping for limited success before sending them back down as planned. Fantastic way to eat quality long relief innings
They’ve been doing that for years buddy
yeah, doesnt sound like something intrinsicly Rays at all.
In fact, it’s been known as “the Scranton Shuttle” since…man…2016 I think.
The Scranton shuttle has been around since girardi
If they were mimicking the Ray’s, they would trade their biggest has been player to the Pirates for all of their best prospects.
Yankees won last night.
scratch my last comment..sorry
Justin Wilson is likely getting activated from the IL in a corresponding move
The Scranton Shuttle continues.
Until the Yankees realize the biggest issue is he didnt bat left handed nor was he a good base runner, who cares?
Think its a good idea for the Yanks to sell at the deadline. This year wont happen. Bottom line, this is not a good baseball team. Id even go as far as saying this is a pretty bad team
Retool for next season, start dumping guys like Sanchez and Gardner and get ready for 2022. Sox did it and look at them now.
Looking forward to the Andujar/Frazier trade proposals here.
Clint Frazier and Luis Medina for Greg Holland, Michael A. Taylor, and Hanser Alberto
That’s not bad.
Although the one real strength of our squad is the ‘pen so I’m not sure Holland would be all that helpful.
But if not Marte, I think the best fallback option would be Taylor. Yanks can’t keep running Judge out there in Center.
Not sure trading Frazier and a top 10 prospect just so you don’t start Judge in CF against LHP is a good use of assets. Taylor and his 77 ops+ actually hits RH better. Holland (5+ fip) and Alberto offer nothing in terms of upgrade.
Why would the Yankees do that trade? I wouldn’t even trade Frazier and his years of control alone for those 3 scrubs. Do better.
I’d trade Frazier & a back end top 30 prospect for those three. I get it. They’d all be merely incremental upgrades. But upgrades are upgrades.
I am sold on Miggy in left. Meaning I view Clint as superfluous. He & Gleyber have been huge disappointments.
Did Cashman just ask to get fired? Obviously, any manager who can’t get a line up like that to be productive, has to go.
I guess Cashman is ready to retire or prove himself elsewhere.
I wonder if the Yankees have enough money left to sign Tanaka for half of a season and stay under the luxury tax. Just a thought. Hope cashman reads TradeRumors
