One quick minor league note to pass along before we get to tonight’s action. According to Lou DiPietro, the Yankees still have one Arizona Fall League roster spot to fill. It is a “taxi squad” spot, meaning the player will only be eligible to play Wednesdays and Saturdays. SS Kyle Holder would make sense after injuries limited him to 48 regular season games this year. Here are the seven players the Yankees are sending to the AzFL. We’ll find who the eighth is soon enough.
Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders (3-2 loss to Lehigh Valley in 13 innings, walk-off style) they still lead the best-of-five first round postseason series two games to one … one more win and they’re back in the International League Championship Series for the third straight year … in case you’re wondering, they do not use the “put a runner on second base” tiebreaker rule in extra innings in the postseason, so it’s regular old extra innings baseball
