The New York Yankees have already established they will roll with a five-man rotation on opening day next week. With that being the case, the Yankees needed to send one player down to Triple-A, and they elected SP Deivi Garcia. What does this mean?
Well, it guarantees that Domingo German will win the fifth spot in the rotation, and he deserved it based on an absolutely stellar spring. At 28 years old, German served an 81 game suspension last year, missing all of 2020 and the final portions of the 2019 campaign. The Yankees desperately missed him during the post-season, but they offered him a second opportunity to show he deserves to be with the team and that he’s overcome his personal challenges.
