Yankees Cut Cust, Kruml and Curtis, Promote Melky Mesa

From Marc Carig:

Jack Cust headed a list of three players the Yankees released from their Triple-A roster Wednesday night.

In 98 games with Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre, Cust hit .249 though his 81 walks boosted his on-base percentage to .400. The Flemington native's 20 homers and 66 RBI were both team highs.

...

Cust was released to make room on the Triple-A roster for outfielder Melky Mesa, who was promoted to Double-A Trenton. The 25-year-old hit .277 with 14 homers and 46 RBI in his 88 games with the Thunder.

The Yankees also released Colin Curtis and Ray Kruml.
