Anthony Volpe recorded his fourth and fifth straight multi-hit games during the Yankees’ doubleheader split against the Cardinals on Saturday.
Saturday night with High-A Hudson Valley, striking out eight over 3 ²/₃ scoreless innings on 58 pitches.
If the $162 million left-hander comes through it without any physical issues, he is expected to make his Yankees debut Friday against the Cubs in The Bronx.“Hopefully everything goes well today, he continues to build that pitch count.”He went 1-for-6 with three walks.The left-handerIan Hamilton started the nightcap as an opener for a bullpen game.
The Yankees could have called up Randy Vasquez to make the start Saturday night, but they still would have needed a spot starter Wednesday and Jhony Brito is not eligible to be recalled by then since he was just optioned to Triple-A after Tuesday’s start. Instead, Vasquez is expected to be the spot starter Wednesday against the Orioles with an extended layoff between outings.
After throwing his first bullpen session Friday since being shut down in early June, Nestor Cortes came through feeling fine Saturday.Jonathan Loaisiga, who underwent elbow surgery to remove a bone spur in the first week of May, is a few weeks into a throwing program but has not yet gotten on the mound.Share this article:
