Minor League Report.

The big club was off today. Didi Gregorius finished 3rd in the last man All Star voting so unless an injury occurs, he won’t be joining five teammates at the All Star Game in Miami.

Mason Williams cleared DFA and was outrighted to SWB.

Trenton pitcher Justus Sheffield goes on the DL with an oblique strain.

Check out the NY Post for a good article about how the Yankees’ backups are letting the team down.
