Yankees Promote Spencer Jones, Call Up Kervin Castro to Strengthen Bullpen
New York promoted top outfield prospect Spencer Jones to the majors after injuries thinned the outfield, and recalled right-hander Kervin Castro from Scranton to bolster the bullpen; Brendan Beck is expected to be sent back to Scranton to remain stretched out as a starter. Jones has shown thump and improving contact this spring, posting a .258/.366/.592 line with 11 homers in 33 games, while Castro brings MLB experience and a 3.14 ERA in 14.1 innings at Scranton this season, and the moves expand the 40-man roster as the Yankees juggle lineup and bullpen needs.
