On Tuesday's episode of the podcast Talkin' Yanks, New York Yankees manager Aaron Boone announced that pitching prospect Elmer Rodriguez will make his Major League debut against the Texas Rangers on Wednesday.
But that wasn't the only news Boone revealed.
Before last night's opener against the Rangers, the Yankees placed designated hitter Giancarlo Stanton on the 10-day injured list with a low-grade calf strain.
Instead of calling up a pitcher to bring their total back up to 13, Boone stated that they've decided to promote an infielder. Utility man Max Schuemann, who was at Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre, will get the call to the Majors.
"The roster oddity here is that, while the Yankees don't need a fifth starter this week, they'll certainly need one before Carlos Rodon is ready to return," Adam Weinrib of Yanks Go Yard wrote Tuesday.
