Yankees Call Up Pitching Prospect Miguel Yajure
4 years agoThe New York Yankees made multiple roster moves on Thursday, including calling up pitcher Miguel Yajure from their alternate site. Yajure had a fantastic year in the minors last year, split between Double-A and High-A. Over 138.2 innings, he posted a 2.14 ERA and 1.075 WHIP with 8.6 K/9. Though he was primarily used as a starting pitcher in the minors, it's likely that if he has a role on the Yankees this year, it will be in relief, potentially long relief. In corresponding moves, the Yankees also brought up pitcher Ben Heller from their alternate site and moved Zach Britton (hamstring) to the Injured List while sending Miguel Andujar back to the alternate site.
