Two minor health updates: C Austin Romine is out with the flu and LHP Shaeffer Hall has been placed on the DL with a toe problem. Nothing major, but how the hell do you get the flu in July?

3B Brandon Laird & C Frankie Cervelli: both 1-3, 1 K, 1 HBP — Cervelli doubled

The Rookie GCL Yanks had their game suspended due to rain after just one batter. CF Abe Almonte led the game off with a double and that was it. They’re going to complete the game on August 10th. Meanwhile, Short Season Staten Island had a scheduled day off.
