DotF: McKinney homers, Adams struggles in Scranton’s win

The 2018 Futures Game rosters were officially announced earlier today. LHP Justus Sheffield will be the Yankees’ only representative. OF Estevan Florial might’ve gone had he not gotten hurt.

Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders (3-2 win over Pawtucket)

  • CF Clint Frazier: 0-3, 1 BB, 1 K
  • SS Abi Avelino: 2-4, 1 R, 1 RBI — he’s back up here now that Tyler Wade is in the big leagues
  • 1B Billy McKinney: 1-4, 1 R, 1 HR, 2 RBI, 1 K, 1 E (missed catch) — third homer in his last nine games … second straight game at first base, though I suspect that has to do with 1B Tyler Austin (back), 1B Mike Ford (oblique), and 1B Ryan McBroom (foot) being banged up more than anything
  • RHP Chance Adams: 4 IP, 3 H, 1 R, 1 ER, 4 BB, 3 K, 4/5 GB/FB — 58 of 95 pitches were strikes (61%) … 4+ walks in three of his last four starts … 24.
