Yankees option Clint Frazier to Triple-A, recall Kyle Higashioka and Giovanny Gallegos
Today, the Yankees announced that they have optioned outfielder
Clint Frazier back to Triple-A and recalled catcher Kyle Higashioka from
Triple-A, as well as reliever Giovanny Gallegos before their series opening
game tonight in Philadelphia. With Brett Gardner returning from injury, Clint
Frazier is the odd man out in the Yankees outfield and will see more time with
Scranton Wilkes-Barre for now.
As for Kyle Higashioka, he will be called up to provide the Yankees with depth behind the plate after the recent injury to Gary Sanchez during the Yankees’ series against the Rays. Giovanny Gallegos will provide depth in the bullpen for the Yankees, as one of the usual bullpen arms, Luis Cessa, will be getting the start on Wednesday against the Phillies. By giving Cessa this start, the Yankees have pushed back CC Sabathia’s next start to Friday where he will face off against the Red Sox.
