In case you missed it earlier, Dellin Betances will miss a start because of a blister. He’s not alone though, Manny Banuelos has also been placed on the DL with a blister issue. They’ve been replaced on the roster by Brian Anderson and Damon Sublett, and Kevin Millwood will start for Double-A Trenton over the weekend. Gary Sanchez is also hurt and on the disabled list, but the nature and severity of his injury is unclear. Hopefully it’s nothing serious, remember he dealt with some wrist issues last season. Nick McCoy took his spot on the roster.
The Yankees signed Cuban right-hander Reinier Casanova to a minor league deal. I don’t know anything about the guy other than what the B-R Bullpen says, so your guess is as good as mine. Oh, and Banuelos took some pitchers next to some farm equipment for The Sporting News. So hooray for that.
Update: The Yankees also signed outfielder Jason Place. He was Boston’s first round pick (27th overall) in 2006, one of those super-upside long-shot high school picks. He didn’t pan out (.234/.315/.390 career hitter) and they released him in Spring Training.
