One of the top prospects in the Yankees system is nearing a return to action.
Domingo Acevedo, the 6-7 right-handed starting pitcher ranked number nine on the list of New York Yankees prospects, should be back on the mound in the coming weeks for the Trenton Thunder. He has been out of action with a blister on his right index finger.
He also suffered a concussion on the last road trip.
"Today, he threw his third or fourth side, and did a really nice job," Thunder manager Jay Bell said Tuesday, before the second game of three with the Reading Fightin Phils.
