Elmer RodrĂguez is set to make his major league debut for the Yankees on Wednesday as they adjust their rotation. This comes after infielder Max Schuemann was called up to replace Giancarlo Stanton, who is on the injured list.
ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) â Right-hander Elmer RodrĂguez, one of the Yankees' top prospects, is set for his major league debut Wednesday as New York tweaks the bottom of the rotation while awaiting the return of Carlos RodĂłn. RodrĂguez was already in the Yankees clubhouse Tuesday, telling the story of the late-night summons at a hotel informing him that he was headed to Texas with a plan to start the finale of a three-game series against the Rangers. The Yankees have been shuffling their roster, but still have a move to make to clear space for the 22-year-old who pitched for Puerto Rico in the World Baseball Classic last month. Infielder Max Schuemann was called up from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Tuesday in place of Giancarlo Stanton, who went on the 10-day injured list after straining his right calf Friday in Houston. RodrĂguez is taking right-hander Luis Gil's spot in the rotation after Gil was sent to Triple-A following a rough start in a 7-4 loss to the Astros. The Yankees filled Gil's place on the roster with outfielder Jasson DomĂnguez, who was in the lineup against the Rangers as the designated hitter for the second consecutive game Tuesday night. Manager Aaron Boone declined to say what roster move was coming to make room for RodrĂguez, who had a 1.27 ERA in four Triple-A starts this year after climbing from Class A to Triple-A last season. âHeâs impressive,â Boone said. âIâve really been impressed with a lot of our young guys that are kind of knocking on the door, Elmer included in that, about to be big leaguers, feel like they have a chance to be longtime big leaguers. As well as being a talented pitcher, he seems to have a really good way and makeup about him that should serve him well.â RodrĂguez pitched three scoreless innings in his only WBC appearance for his native Puerto Rico. âIt was a great experience to pitch there and obviously close to the same thing you're going to have here in the bigs,â said RodrĂguez, who said his family was in transit to see him face 15-year veteran of the Rangers. âI feel like it just prepared me more and gave me a little bit of getting my feet wet.â Boone estimated RodrĂguez would get at least two starts as the Yankees anticipate the return of RodĂłn, the left-hander awaiting his season debut coming off left elbow surgery in October. last week. The Yankees decided to put RodrĂguez in front of the other starters because it was close to his scheduled Tuesday start in Triple-A. New York is off Thursday, which means right-hander is the likely starter Friday night at home against . Boone has said he is hopeful Stanton will be ready to come off the IL as soon as he's eligible, but won't commit to a timetable. Neither will the 36-year-old slugger who has dealt with similar issues throughout his career. âI really donât have much for you guys,â Stanton said Tuesday. âIâve got to move around. Itâs good that itâs not a high grade, but at the same time, youâve got to make sure it doesnât happen again.â \\_ AP MLB:
