The weeks-long competition for the New York Yankees fifth rotation spot is over after the team announced early this afternoon that top pitching prospect Deivi Garcia was sent down.
Garcia’s trip to Scranton means that Domingo German, who was absent from the 2020 Yankees rotation, has officially locked up that final rotation spot.
Despite the drama following German into spring training, the 28-year-old right-handed pitcher showed his stuff. German made three spring training appearances this year. In nine innings German was able to strike out 13 batters while only allowing five hits and one walk.
