Quick Hits
- SP Bryan Mitchell, who made his MLB debut for the Yanks last year, looks ready for another shot. On Wednesday — despite some wildness — he won his second straight start, and he’s now held opponents to a .216 BAA through 11 starts and 56 2/3 IP. Mitchell has not given up a homer this season.
- Minnesota SP Ricky Nolasco (ankle) has been put on the DL for the third time in 11 months. Tommy Milone, who was dynamite in Triple-A (4-0, 0.70 ERA in five starts with phenomenal command) has been recalled and started Thursday with less than impressive results (nine hits, four runs — two earned — in five innings with one walk and no strikeouts).
- Another minor leaguer getting the call is Detroit OFer Daniel Fields. His extra-base pop at Triple-A this year has been very impressive (15 doubles, seven triples, three homers for a .486 slugging) after he struggled so badly in his Triple-A debut in 2014.
