While Deivi Garcia pitched out of the bullpen Saturday for the first time this season, it’s what the Yankees top prospect did — not when he did it — that stood out most.
The 20-year-old right-hander, who signed for $200,000 out of the Dominican Republic in 2015, threw five no-hit innings for Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre, striking out seven and surrendering an unearned run. Despite walking five batters, it represented a third straight solid outing for the 5-foot-9, baby-faced starter, who over the past few months has risen from High-A to the doorstep of the majors, and from fourth to the top of the Yankees’ prospects rankings on MLB.
