The New York Yankees initially selected former No. 1 prospect in their farm system Estevan Florial to the 26-man roster, but the writing was on the wall the entire time.
Florial struggled during spring training, failing to get anything going, and had been disappointing over a few major league stints in previous years. Without any minor-league options to utilize, the Yankees had to make an unfortunate decision, designated Florial for assignment on Saturday before their 4 PM game against the San Francisco Giants.
