And allowed a grand slam in the 2nd inning. Yikes

 

final line: 1.2 IP, 8 H, 8 ER, 2 BB, 2 K

Imagine how infuriating it would be to give up 5 hits to Nick Madrigal

[Bertz]

There was a 3 week IL stint mixed in there, but since the start of June Palencia has 49 Ks and 11 BBs in 35.1 IP

 

He's probably about ready for Tenn once he's stretched back out

Clearly the Yankees won the trade

Perlaza is on fire. 5 HRs this week.

Mervis went 1 for his first 9 at AAA, since those 2 adjustment games he's at 55 PA, .320/.381/.640, 3 HR, 8/4 K/BB. Given his status 3 months ago, it's hilarious to think that it might require MLB pitching to keep him from running roughshod over pitchers and ensure he can take his walks.

[We Got The Whole 9]

It's insane what Palencia did in 35 pitches lmfao

Jordan Wicks got the start for Tennessee and went 4IP, 2H, 0R, 7K/2BB.

Just call Mervis up and play him everyday.

Looks like Ryan Jensen got skipped this week. I wonder if, given that adding an arm swing didn't appear to give him what it takes command-wise to be a starter, we see him get shifted to short relief like Cam Sanders.
