According to Conor Foley, the Yankees are calling up top pitching prospect Justus Sheffield. Triple-A Scranton was eliminated from the postseason Saturday, so, with their season over, Sheffield will join the Yankees for the rest of September. Also, Foley says Domingo German is coming up as well. No surprise there.
Sheffield, 22, pitched to a 2.48 ERA (2.98 FIP) with 25.9% strikeouts and 10.5% walks in 116 innings this season, mostly with the RailRiders. The Yankees moved him to the bullpen late in the season to prepare him for a possible big league role.
