With 1B Chris Parmelee called up to the big leagues, 1B Tyler Austin has been promoted from Double-A Trenton to Triple-A Scranton and 1B Matt Snyder has been bumped up from High-A Tampa to Double-A Trenton, report Matt Kardos and Nick Flammia. It’s all one big chain reaction.
Triple-A Scranton (7-5 loss to Columbus)
- CF Ben Gamel: 2-4, 2 R, 1 2B, 1 SB, 1 HBP — third straight two-hit game
- RF Aaron Judge: 2-5, 1 R, 1 2B, 2 RBI, 1 K
- DH Nick Swisher: 0-5, 1 K — he has an opt-out sometime this month and I’m guessing he’ll use it after being passed over for Parmelee
- LF Jake Cave: 1-2, 1 BB, 1 HBP, 1 CS
- C Kyle Higashioka: 1-3, 1R, 1 HR, 1 RBI, 1 BB — he’s one catcher injury away from getting called up, which would be pretty cool after all his injuries and years as a minor league backup
- 1B Tyler Austin: 1-3, 1 R, 1 HR, 1 RBI, 1 BB, 1 SB — welcome back to Triple-A
- RHP Brady Lail: 5.
