The New York Yankees decided to , after he allowed four runs in 4 2/3 innings of work against the Baltimore Orioles. He pitched better than that line suggests, though.
The 21-year-old will go to the alternate training site for now, but that doesn’t mean that he won’t see the Bronx again this year. In fact, it is not out of the question that he stays in turn and makes his next scheduled start near the weekend.
Another possibility for the New York Yankees is to give his day to fellow pitching prospect Clarke Schmidt.
