Yankees MILB 9/10: Estevan Florial: 2 HR, 6 RBI

News: As I suspected, veterans Matt Bowman and Anthony Misiewicz were called up today. We’ll see if this is permanent or temporary. This is a good time to get Will Warren and Clayton Beeter some innings in MLB, even as long relievers. Beeter may have the inside track as he needs to be protected this winter while Warren does not need to […]
