DotF: Torreyes returns, Gleyber continues rehab in Tampa loss

The Yankees have announced a few roster moves:

• IF Ronald Torreyes has been activated off the Triple-A Scranton temporary inactive list and sent to High-A Tampa. He’d been away from the team since June 26th because he went home to be with his wife, who had a medical issue. Now he’s back and going to Tampa for what amounts to a rehab assignment. Glad Mrs. Toe is apparently doing okay.
• 1B Brandon Wagner has been promoted from High-A Tampa to Double-A Trenton. Wagner hit .270/.376/.510 (154 wRC+) with a farm system leading 20 homers in 87 games for Tampa. Nearly 5,000 players have played in the minors this season and only 18 have more homers than Wagner. Thirteen of the 18 are older than him.
• C Keith Skinner has voluntarily retired. He was the team’s seventh round pick in 2016. Skinner hit .218/.298/.267 (68 wRC+) in 72 career minor league games.

The Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders had a scheduled off-day.

Double-A Trenton Thunder (4-0 loss to Hartford)

• CF Trey Amburgey: 0-4, 1 K

• RHP Domingo Acevedo: 7 IP, 5 H, 3 R, 2 ER, 1 BB, 6 K, 1 WP, 5/7 GB/FB — 61 of 86 pitches were strikes (71%) … strikeouts are still down quite a bit from his career norm, though he’s starting to string together some really good starts, so that’s good

High-A Tampa Tarpons (7-4 loss to Bradenton)

• CF Estevan Florial: 1-5 — 3-for-19 (.158) since coming back … he misses GCL pitching

• PR-SS Diego Castillo: 1-1, 1 R, 1 2B, 2 RBI
• 2B Gleyber Torres: 2-4, 1 2B, 1 K, 2 E (both fielding) — played the full nine innings … he’s on track to return Wednesday though I’m not sure what the plan is for tomorrow … I remember hearing about a DH game at some point, so maybe he’ll DH tomorrow and not play the field?

• C Donny Sands: 0-4, 2 K, 1 PB

• RHP Roansy Contreras: 6 IP, 2 H, 1 R, 1 ER, 0 BB, 4 K, 1 HR, 4/6 GB/FB — 50 of 68 pitches were strikes (74%) … 18-year-old is just up from Staten Island after five excellent starts … 1.30 ERA and 36/9 K/BB in 36.2 innings … it’s only 36.2 innings, but he’s having a phenomenal season so far

The Short Season Staten Island Yankees had a scheduled off-day.

The Rookie GCL Yankees West were rained out again. They haven’t played a full game since last Thursday due to rain and off-days. This game will be made up as part of an August 1st doubleheader. Because of all the rainouts, they have three doubleheaders in three days from July 30th to August 1st.
