Montero homers in SWB win

Four Staten Island Yankees were named to the Short Season NY-Penn League All-Star Game: Evan DeLuca, Branden Pinder, Casey Stevenson, and Mason Williams. Congrats to them. Eric Wordekemper, meanwhile, has been activated off the (phantom) DL to take the place of the recently released J.C. Romero.

Rookie GCL Yanks Game Two was suspended due to rain with two outs in the bottom of the first. Zach Nuding threw an inning as he rehabs from a mystery injury. I assume they’ll wrap this one up tomorrow, but don’t hold me to that. Here’s the box score, I’ll update the stats whenever the game is completed.
