As the Yankees continue to trim their roster in preparation for opening day, the team announced another roster move on Tuesday afternoon.
Slade Heathcott has been optioned to @swbrailriders and reassigned to Minor League camp.
According to multiple sources, the team has reassigned outfielder Slade Heathcott to minor league camp, optioning him to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre.
After spending some time in the big leagues last season, Heathcott was in camp this spring looking for an opportunity to make the 25-man roster.It was already a long shot for Heathcott to make the roster this spring due to the influx of outfielders on the active roster, and his struggles offensively definitely didn’t help his case either.
