Yankees outright Noel to Triple-A
10/3/15: Rico Noel hits a slow roller to third for his first career Major League hitNEW YORK -- The Yankees announced on Thursday that they have outrighted speedster Rico Noel to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre, clearing a space on the club's 40-man roster.
Noel, 26, was called up in September to serve as a pinch-runner, and he appeared in 15 games, scoring five runs and stealing five bases in seven attempts.
He logged two at-bats, including his first Major League hit on Oct. 3, a pinch-hit single off the Orioles' Oliver Drake. Noel's five stolen bases tied Didi Gregorius for third on the club this season, behind Jacoby Ellsbury (21) and Brett Gardner (20).
