DotF: Aaron Judge and Austin Aune have huge games

Bad news: Matt Kardos says 3B Eric Jagielo has “loose bodies” in his knee. He hurt himself sliding into home plate a week or two ago. Jagielo will undergo more tests before deciding whether to have surgery or go the rehab route. Either way, it’s safe to assume he’ll be out for a while. Sucks.

Triple-A Scranton (12-8 loss to Lehigh Valley)

• CF Aaron Judge: 4-4, 3 R, 1 2B, 1 BB — big day at the plate and he also threw a runner out at third … also, that’s his first pro game in center field, the position he played in college
• RF Ramon Flores: 1-3, 1 RBI, 2 BB, 1 K
• DH Austin Romine: 2-5, 1 R, 1 2B, 1 HR, 3 RBI, 1 K — having a really great year, might be enough to earn himself a spot on the 40-man roster come September so the Yankees don’t lose him for nothing as a minor league free agent after the season
• RHP Joel De La Cruz: 3 IP, 7 H, 4 R, 4 ER, 1 BB, 1 K, 4/1 GB/FB — 33 of 59 pitches were strikes (56%)
• RHP Chris Martin: 1.2 IP, 5 H, 6 R, 6 ER, 3 BB, 2 K, 2/1 GB/FB — 23 of 49 pitches were strikes (47%) … not gonna earn a trip back to New York that way, Chris
• RHP Branden Pinder: 2.1 IP, 2 H, 1 R, 1 ER, 0 BB, 3 K, 1/2 GB/FB — 19 of 28 pitches were strikes (68%)
