Devaki Garcia’s wildness crops up again in Yankees’ Triple-A

Devi Garcia continued his first small league debut on Thursday, after walking eight batters in 14 innings during spring training and in three innings in four innings in his big league this season.

The right-hander scored seven runs in just 3 walks / innings for Triple-A Scranton / Wilkes-Barre.

“He struggled with his order,” Aaron Boone said before Aaron went on to an 11-4 loss in the Bronx on Friday night. He said, ‘He was struggling with the attacks of the first pitch. He was probably running away. “

Garcia has difficulty repeating his delivery several times, and scouts point to the issue again as early as this spring.

Since the Yankees’ rotation has been held physically so far, they only need to move to an extra starter once this season, when they called Garcia from the alternate site for an April 26 start in Baltimore and got him on the mat. Harvey made out.

Garcia, who will turn 22 this month, has noticed that his velocity has increased slightly this season. The Yankees will have another 13-game stretch without a day off after their series against the Nationals, so they can go back to the sixth starter.

“This was not his first time in the season,” Boon said. “He’s usually very good at making adjustments, especially when we identify certain things.”


DJ Lehmahoe had just one homer in the season before playing on two Fridays. Both came to Patrick Corbin. LeMahieu added one against the left-hander, and he is now 21-for-54 with six homers vs. Corbin.

All of his Friday hits were from the opposite field.

“It was great seeing him the ball the other way,” Bowon said.

LeMahieu attributed her success against Corbin to her dating back to the minors several times, but also did not catch up in terms of home runs.

“I’m trying to get on base and contribute,” Lemahieu said. “It’s my strength to bat consistently over a long period of time.”


Giancarlo Stanton went 0-for-4 to end his 12-game hitting streak. He was 25-for-52 with six homers, four doubles and 11 RBIs over that period. … Aaron Hicks was in the lineup on Thursday after dealing with leg cramps. He went 0-for-3 with one run and one run.
