GCL Yanks make it 11 straight wins

Phillies have begun gauging trade interest in Cole Hamels
Yanks give one away at the Trop

Update: Lots of promotions. OF Mason Williams, OF Tyler Austin, and C Gary Sanchez have all been promoted to High-A Tampa while OF Rob Segedin, C J.R. Murphy, and OF Neil Medchill are going to Double-A Trenton. C Kyle Higashioka is going down to Tampa while IF Jose Toussen, IF Tyson Blaser, and OF Eduardo Sosa are going down to Low-C Charleston. Not fair for Blaser, but that’s minor league life.

Notes…

  • RHP Ricky Orta (elbow) was placed on the DL after leaving yesterday’s game with an elbow problem. RHP Sean Black was promoted from High-A Tampa to Double-A Trenton to take his roster spot.
  • RHP Zach Nuding (tired shoulder) is close to returning to the High-A Tampa rotation. He’s been on the shelf for just about a month now.
  • LHP Vidal Nuno was named the Double-A Eastern League Pitcher of the Week, so congrats to him.
