Some notes:
- The Yankees have signed RHP Christian Herstine out of the independent American Association, according to the Marietta College website, his alma mater. Herstine allowed one run and struck out ten in only 8.2 innings with the Gary SouthShore RailCats.
- C Kyle Higashioka will participate in the Double-A Eastern League All-Star Home Run Derby next week, so says Matt Kardos. His 14 homers are nearly double his previous career high (eight in 2011).
Triple-A Scranton (7-5 win over Rochester)
- CF Ben Gamel: 2-5, 1 R, 1 2B, 1 3B, 2 RBI — threw a runner out at first … 16-for-46 (.
