DotF: Gamel and Judge stay hot in Scranton’s win

Here are the day’s notes:

• Randy Miller spoke to Triple-A Scranton manager Al Pedrique about a bunch of players on his roster. I highly recommend it. Pedrique dished out some brutal honestly. Good stuff.
• Couple of puff pieces: Bob Sutton on OF Blake Rutherford and Josh Norris (no subs. req’d) on RHP Rony Garcia. Make sure check those out. Also, RHP Austin DeCarr made today’s Prospect Report.
• LHP Justus Sheffield, who came over from the Indians in the Andrew Miller trade, will make his first start with the Yankees tomorrow, according to Nick Flammia.
• RHP Brian Keller and 1B Brandon Wagner has been bumped up from the rookie Gulf Coast League to rookie Pulaski, the team announced.
