Because of the roster freeze now in effect across MLB, that the Yankees have sent four players from major league camp to the minors. They include Michael King, Thairo Estrada, Ben Heller and Deivi Garcia.
King, featured in an interview last season in a Bronx Pinstripes Show podcast episode, hurled the rawhide to the tune of a 3-2 record in 11 games (8 starts), 5.48 ERA, and 44 strikeouts in 46 innings. He would add 0 ER in 2 innings for the Yankees in a late season call-up. In spring training, he had a 3.86 ERA in 9 1/3 innings, and the Yankees consider him a call-up possibility again later this season.
