Yankees Weighing Lagrange Call-Up to Shore Up Bullpen
GM Brian Cashman is reportedly mulling a promotion for hard-throwing prospect Carlos Lagrange as New York's relief corps continues to struggle.
The Yankees bullpen has been one of the team's weakest areas, and the front office is exploring an internal fix. GM Brian Cashman is considering calling up Carlos Lagrange, a top pitching prospect currently at Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre. Lagrange has shown elite raw stuff, including a fastball up to 103 mph and an improved slider and changeup. However, command concerns persist, as he carries an 11.5% walk rate and a 46.5% first-pitch strike rate in 11 Triple-A appearances.
