What do you want first, the good news or the bad news? Okay, the good news: OF Aaron Judge placed seventh in this week’s Prospect Hot Sheet. He came into tonight 12-for-28 (.429) with two homers and two doubles during his six-game hitting streak.
Now, the bad news: 1B Greg Bird has been placed on the Double-A DL with a right shoulder injury, the team announced. Josh Norris says he’s heading for an MRI. Bird has a history of back issues but this is his first shoulder trouble as far as I know.
