Remember when RHP James Kaprielian was supposed to make his pro debut yesterday but didn’t? Turns out he did! The Rookie GCL Yanks2 box score was screwed up because it was a suspended game, but it was corrected today. Kaprielian’s line was … not good: 0.1 IP, 1 H, 4 R, 3 ER, 2 BB, 0 K, 1 WP, 1/1 GB/FB. Bust! Or he was rusty because it was his first time pitching in a real game since UCLA’s season ended June 1st. Choose your own narrative.
