Scott Effross, a right-handed pitcher for the New York Yankees, will continue to pitch in the minor leagues. His status has not changed despite no longer technically rehabbing.
Performance Overview
Effross had shown promise earlier this season, pitching:
- 3 ¹/₃ scoreless innings in three games with Double-A Somerset and the Florida Coast League.
- However, he experienced a setback, allowing two runs on four hits with Somerset on Saturday.
Manager’s Expectations
Manager Aaron Boone expressed his expectations for Effross’ performance going forward:
"It’s about Scott pitching and stacking days and weeks so he can get that polish again."
Boone hopes that Effross can work his way up to The Bronx by putting himself in a position to be part of the team.
Path to the Yankees
Effross will need to demonstrate significant improvement if he wants to join the Yankees soon. For now, his focus remains on refining his skills in the minor leagues.
