The Yankees have created a different path for the fallen, former star prospect’s possible return to the majors.
If the fallen, former star prospect is called up, he likely will be pitching out of the bullpen.
“Kind of like in that [Michael] King [role],” the Yankees manager said before finishing a series at Camden Yards on Sunday. “A number of our guys are in that two, two-plus inning [role] on a given day.” Their bullpen has been hit hard, too, with Tommy Kahnle out until at least late May, Lou Trivino nursing a UCL sprain and Jonathan Loaisiga shut down from throwing for several weeks.With more injuries or ineffectiveness, Greg Weissert, Matt Krook and perhaps Garcia would enter the picture.
In two ensuing seasons, though, he showed diminished stuff and was hit hard not just in the majors but in the minors, getting shut down for two months last season in what the Yankees called a reset.
