Yankees send bench bat down to Triple-A on off day
With veteran Amed Rosario expected to return from the injured list on Tuesday in Tampa, the Yankees needed to make room on their active roster. That's why backup catcher J.C. Escarra was optioned down to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Monday afternoon. Escarra was called up from Triple-A when Rosario went on the injured list with a chest contusion (a left SC joint sprain was the official diagnosis). Rosario ran into the right-field wall during Devin Williams' 10th-inning implosion against the Astros at Yankee Stadium. While Rosario was day-to-day and avoided a serious injury, the Yankees moved him to the IL so they wouldn't need to play short on their bench. The plan was always for Rosario to come back to the big-league club when the minimum 10 days on the injured list expired. He'll be eligible to rejoin the Yankees on Tuesday as his IL stint was retroactive to August 9. Escarra only played in one game during Rosario's absence. He came off the bench for a few innings at first base in the Yankees' 9-1 win over the Twins on August 12. That late-inning appearance corresponded with Paul Goldschmidt's knee injury. The veteran bumped his knee and suffered a low-grade sprain while tracking down a pop fly in foul territory. If Goldschmidt needed to go on the IL, Escarra could've stuck around in pinstripes for a little while longer even when Rosario was activated. Goldschmidt didn't end up needing to go on the injured list, though. He returned to the starting lineup on Sunday in St. Louis, contributing three hits to the Yankees' sweep-clinching victory over the Cardinals. This season, Escarra is hitting .202 with a .629 OPS in 98 plate appearances. He's been on the big-league roster for much of this season, but has only played in 40 games, buried on the depth chart behind catchers Austin Wells and Ben Rice.
