Yankees MILB 5/22: Griffin Herring Dazzles (6 IP, 0 H, 10 K)
Notes: Cooper Hummel has exercised an opt-out clause in his contract and will become a free agent if the Yankees don’t add him to their 26-man roster.

Notes: RHP Clayton Beeter‘s rehab is over. The Yankees have optioned him to Scranton. The Yankees traded LHP Rob Zastryzny to the Brewers for cash considerations. This is a massive win since I no longer need to type that name. The 33-year-old has pitched for several organizations, including MLB stops with the Cubs, Mets, Angels, and Pirates. […]
