News & Notes
- Here are the Yankees reserves for tonight's game:
Bullpen: Dellin Betances, Romulo Sanchez, Mark Prior, Luis Ayala, Ryan Pope, Steve Garrison and D.J. Mitchell.
- Here is what Joe Girardi said about Banuelos' surprise start tonight:
Chad Jennings is reporting that the Padres have returned Rule 5 draft pick, RHP George Kontos. He will report to minor league camp.“I’m curious to see how he reacts,” Girardi said. “I waited until today to make sure that’s what we wanted to do… The Red Sox. There (on the road). ESPN. It’s something.”
“Even if he gets too hyped up, that’s something that he can learn from,” Girardi said. “That’s what we’re going to concentrate on not letting him do tonight. Don’t get too hyped up.”
- Joba Chamberlain is suffering from mild discomfort around the ribcage area. According to Girardi, it’s similar to the Sergio Mitre's injury that forced him out of tonight's start. Griardi said that Joba will probably be pushed back to Wednesday or Thursday and that Yankees "don't think it’s anything serious.”
