TAMPA, Fla. -- The New York Yankees' starting rotation fell into place when Deivi Garcia was optioned to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Friday following a poor spring training.
New York's decision left Domingo German as the fifth starter behind Gerrit Cole, Corey Kluber, Jameson Taillon and Jordan Montgomery. Germán missed last season while serving a suspension under Major League Baseball's domestic violence policy.
Luis Severino is expected back in June or July following his rehabilitation from Tommy John surgery.
The 21-year-old Garcia was 0-2 with a 3.
