Lost in all the hoopla of Zack Britton’s injury and Miguel Andujar’s demotion, the New York Yankees are actually promoting one of their very best pitching prospects on Thursday. They are calling up young right-handed pitcher Miguel Yajure, who will be making his major league debut whenever he gets in the field.
Yajure is 22 years old, and he hails from Venezuela. He had excellent numbers in minor league ball last year, compiling a 2.14 ERA, 1.075 WHIP, and 133/30 K/BB ratio in 138 2/3 innings (20 starts, four relief appearances) between High-A Tampa and Double-A Trenton.
