The Yankees on Tuesday elevated Justus Sheffield and Domingo German from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre, and what that means for Sheffield will be determined by what situations present themselves.
“No specific plan, not necessarily a specific role,’’manager Aaron Boone said of the 22-left-hander whom some, but not all, believe is the Yankees’ top pitching prospect.
“He is someone who potentially can give us a little bit of length. He is not built up like he was as a starter, but he is still a guy we feel can give us a couple of innings. The role could evolve to where we want to see him in a spot against a specific hitter or maybe a specific lefty.
