Saw on Twitter that Ellsbury has been activated off the 7 Day DL and Hicks placed on the 10 day.
It looks like according to the Yankees updated roster, that Herrera has been brought up and Tyler Webb sent down.
Also Refsnyder back up with Mason Williams sent down.
I know its early but can't wait till Andujar gets his shot. Been lights out at SWB in 6 games so far. Only real prospect at 3B in the system and on the 40 man. If Chase H gets dinged again and Andujar stays red hot, may not be too long that we get to see him in the bigs.
Go Yankees!
But his glove is a concern, that said he's on the 40 man and has an AR15 for an arm
In theory Refsnyder can play RF, 1B, 2B, 3B in a pinch right? He's not hitting well now but I think there have been times when he has. I'm not sure Yanks have another player with his utility potential.
It's obvious Girardi is not going to play him so not sure why the keep brining him up. Time to promote either Fowler or Frazier until Hicks is back. Gardner and Ellsbury are both going to need some rest....and Judge can use some days as DH. Shouldn't be too hard to play them 3-4 days/week while Hicks is out.

I've been as big a proponent of the kid as anyone, but at this point he's not hitting in pinstripes, trade him for peanuts or just DFA him and let him get a fresh start elsewhere, bring up someone who addresses our needs.

Wade can play everywhere, he's a legit speed merchant (worst comes to worst, he can pinch run late in games), and he's big-league ready.
Fowler is more MLB ready but the line up needs another thumper to make up for Hicks power.
Wade is Blocked by Torreyez who they are not moving.
Castro's cortisone shot will either help him or DL him we shall see. Refsnyder back up oh joy.
Anyone know Bird's status?

Judge
Is Castro and Holliday not enough? What's this obsession with having only HR hitters. Whenever Sanchez is on the bench, we get bitching and moaning about Romine not having power.
It's almost like you don't understand the game that fucking well at all.
who plays when he sits? rest you know catcher?
Judge and Holliday are not enough?
Who replaces Hicks power?
who can come off the bench hit the game winning home run?
Torreyes
Romine
Refsnyder
They are going to put Frazier on the 40 man soon enough might as well start his clock. Beside Els and Gardner need rest.
At least it becomes pretty clear why a new handle is needed every so often - the sheer stupidity finally forces a change.
Seriously. Why the heck are you guys engaging with him? You are just encouraging him.

Oh please stop with your condescending bullshit.
Castro is hurt(cortisone shot) and Holliday has really slowed down. Maybe Austin find it.
That leave Judge and Sanchez the real threats.
Els Gardner Fowler all hit Left handed too.
This Yankee team is sinking. 10-15 last 25 games?
The logical choice is to bring up Frazier
The Refsnyder Scranton shuttle is just a bit tired at this point and really adds very little. We're still playing with a short bench cause he's not going to get any meaningful time

Tyler Wade is close
Defensively and as a baserunner, Wade is probably significantly ahead of Refs.
