Game 17: Sabathia's Return
Yanks 4, Blue Jays 3: Bullpen picks up the slack in Sabathia's return from the disabled list

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

Double-A Trenton Thunder (4-2 win over Erie)

  • 2B Gosuke Katoh: 1-4, 2 R, 1 2B, 1 BB, 1 K
  • CF Rashad Crawford: 0-2, 1 R, 2 BB, 1 K
  • RF Trey Amburgey: 2-3, 1 2B, 1 RBI, 1 BB — 6-for-16 (.375) in his last five games
  • LHP Justus Sheffield: 6 IP, 6 H, 2 R, 2 ER, 2 BB, 8 K, 1 WP, 4/3 GB/FB — 67 of 98 pitches were strikes (68%) … 17/4 K/BB in 11.2 innings in his last two starts after a 5/6 K/BB in 4.1 innings in his first start

High-A Tampa Tarpons (5-2 loss to Daytona)

  • SS Hoy Jun Park: 0-2, 2 BB, 1 K, 1 SB — 12 strikeouts and 11 walks in 13 games
  • 2B Diego Castillo & DH Thairo Estrada: 0-4, 1 K
  • LF Estevan Florial: 1-4, 1 K, 1 SB — even with this game, he’s in a little 4-for-24 (.167) skid
  • RF Isiah Gilliam: 2-4, 1 R, 2 K — 19-for-40 (.475) with four doubles and two homers during his nine-game hitting streak
  • CF Pablo Olivares: 0-3, 2 K
  • RHP Freicer Perez: 5 IP, 6 H, 3 R, 3 ER, 2 BB, 3 K, 1 WP, 1 HB, 4/4 GB/FB — 57 of 97 pitches were strikes (59%) … 10/8 K/BB in 13.1 innings so far

Low-A Charleston RiverDogs (3-2 loss to Greensboro, walk-off style)

  • SS Wilkerman Garcia: 1-4, 2 E (both fielding)
  • 3B Oswaldo Cabrera: 0-3, 1 BB, 2 K
  • DH Steven Sensley: 0-3, 2 K
  • RF Leonardo Molina: 1-3, 1 R, 1 2B
  • RHP Nick Nelson: 6 IP, 6 H, 2 R, 2 ER, 1 BB, 8 K, 1 WP, 11/1 GB/FB — 62 of 94 pitches were strikes (66%) … hell of an outing … not sure I’d call him a sleeper, but Nelson has a sneaky good arm, and he’s a breakout candidate this year
