SAN FRANCISCO \u2014 Cody Poteet is now two-for-two on delivering in spot starts.<\/p>\n
The Yankees may need that to continue for at least a few more weeks.<\/p>\n
Called up from Triple-A to replace the injured Clarke Schmidt, Poteet delivered five solid innings Saturday night to help the Yankees beat the Giants 7-3 at Oracle Park.<\/p>\n
Poteet limited the Giants to just three runs (two earned) on three hits and one walk while striking out six.<\/p>\n
\u201cSad to see [Schmidt] go down, such an incredible pitcher and was rolling just like the rest of the staff right now,\u201d Poteet said. \u201cBut I\u2019m not looking too far ahead, just taking it a day at a time and trying to get better each day and enjoy being around so many great players.\u201d<\/p>\n
Poteet had been on the injured list at Scranton\/Wilkes-Barre with a blister, which opened back up again \u201ca little bit\u201d on Saturday, he said, though the right-hander did not seem worried.<\/p>\n
\u201cNothing too concerning,\u201d he said. \u201cI\u2019ve been dealing with that for a little bit. Normal. Something I\u2019ve dealt with in the past, so should be good.\u201d<\/p>\n
The Yankees likely will lean on Poteet \u2014 who threw six strong innings against the Guardians in April \u2014 until Gerrit Cole is ready to return from the IL, which could come by the end of the month.<\/p>\n
\u201cOverall, I thought he pitched with a lot of confidence, I thought he was on the attack,\u201d manager Aaron Boone said. \u201cI thought he did a good job with his four-seam and his two-seam. Gave us what we needed.\u201d<\/p>\n
DJ LeMahieu came into Saturday with only a pair of hits through his first three games of the season.<\/p>\n
But just about everything else has looked encouraging for the Yankees\u2019 veteran infielder after he missed the first two months of the season with a non-displaced foot fracture.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m really excited about how he looks,\u201d Boone said before LeMahieu went 1-for-4 in a 7-3 win over the Giants on Saturday. \u201cI thought good at-bats each and every day. I felt like watching him run down the line and move, he\u2019s moving well. So really encouraged with where he\u2019s at physically.\u201d<\/p>\n
In his first game back Tuesday, LeMahieu smoked three balls with nothing to show for it. <\/p>\n
He then picked up his first hit Wednesday on a ground ball that hit Anthony Rizzo running to third (which may have been intentional by Rizzo to break up a double play), but then got a more legitimate one Thursday on a hard ground ball to right field that keyed a five-run rally.<\/p>\n
More impressive were the three walks he drew, which came on nine, eight and nine pitches, respectively, looking like the professional, tough at-bats that LeMahieu consistently gives when healthy.<\/p>\n
Boone played LeMahieu at third base his first two games, at first base for Rizzo on Thursday and then gave him the day off Friday as he continues to build up his workload.<\/p>\n
Sunday marks the 20th and final day of Jasson Dominguez\u2019s rehab assignment clock.<\/p>\n
But barring a surprise, it will not mark his final day in the minor leagues.<\/p>\n
Dominguez played his 13th rehab game Saturday \u2014 the ninth with Double-A Somerset \u2014 but just two of those games have included playing in the field as he continues his comeback from Tommy John surgery.<\/p>\n
The 21-year-old outfielder just started mixing in playing defense Wednesday, and the expectation is he will continue to get more work there when his rehab clock expires and the Yankees option him to the minors. <\/p>\n
Plus, of course, there is no path for him to get regular playing time with the Yankees at the moment.That being said, his rehab assignment has gone well to date. <\/p>\n
Dominguez homered Saturday for the fourth time in the past six games.<\/p>\n
\u201cI think it\u2019s gone really well,\u201d Boone said Saturday. \u201cIt\u2019s been in line, really, with how the whole rehab process for him has gone. There haven\u2019t really been many hiccups along the way, it\u2019s been smooth. He\u2019s in great shape. The buildup has gone well.\u201d<\/p>\n
The Yankees had Omar Minaya, a senior advisor to general manager Brian Cashman, in Somerset the past few days and he spent time with Dominguez before reporting back to Boone on Saturday morning.<\/p>\n
\u201c[Dominguez] is in a really good frame of mind, he\u2019s playing well and excited about his progress,\u201d Boone said.<\/p>\n
Gerrit Cole (elbow nerve inflammation) is likely to begin a rehab assignment Tuesday, though the Yankees have not yet finalized that or for which affiliate he will pitch. <\/p>\n
Nick Burdi (right hip inflammation) recently received a PRP injection and is still just rehabbing. <\/p>\n
Scott Effross (Tommy John surgery\/back surgery) is getting closer to a rehab assignment after building momentum in his bullpen sessions over the past month. <\/p>\n
But fellow reliever Lou Trivino (UCL surgery) has still not resumed throwing after being shut down in early May because of elbow inflammation.<\/p>\n
The Yankees optioned reliever Cody Morris back to Triple-A Scranton\/Wilkes-Barre to make room on the roster for Poteet, who was called up to start Saturday\u2019s game in place of the injured Clarke Schmidt.<\/p>\n
Morris, acquired from the Guardians for Estevan Florial in the offseason, has had two stints with the Yankees this season but has not pitched in either one of them.<\/p>\n
After hitting a double off left-hander Taylor Rogers on Friday night \u2014 his first extra-base hit since May 12 and his first extra-base hit off a lefty all season \u2014 Rizzo earned some bragging rights by scoring from second on a passed ball. <\/p>\n
Gleyber Torres was on third and came in to score, but catcher Patrick Bailey\u2019s throw to Rogers at the plate squirted away, allowing Rizzo to keep running around third and score.<\/p>\n
\u201dThat was pretty cool,\u201d Rizzo said. \u201cThat\u2019s definitely something I\u2019ll make sure the guys hear about throughout the year.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
