It took three injuries for Jhony Brito to find a rotation spot and another injury for him to find his way back to the majors.
The 25-year-old, making his second career start, was excellent for a second time in the Yankees’on Saturday at Camden Yards, where he made a strong push to remain with the big league club.
In his debut last Sunday, he gave up zero runs and two hits in five innings in a win over the Giants. “He made a lot of big pitches when he needed to,” said manager Aaron Boone, who added that Brito is making a case to stay in the rotation. allowed the pitcher to be added to the roster though he had not spent the required 15 days in the minors after his previous option to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre.Brito only cracked the rotation in the first place because injuries to Carlos Rodon, Luis Severino and Frankie Montas created a need.
The only run Brito allowed came with some pain. In the first inning, with Cedric Mullins on first, Adley Rutschman drilled a comebacker that hit Brito in the back of the leg, ricocheting off the righty and into shallow left field.
