Phil Day

Injuries/News:

I wrote something about Hughes for The Hardball Times...Chase Wright doesn’t seem to be too down about giving up 4 homers in a row, which is nice.

AAA:

Rained out.

A+:

Tampa, somewhat surprisingly, was the only Yankee affiliate to get a game in yesterday. While Jose Tabata had a quiet night, Reegie Corona and Juan Miranda got some solid work done with the bat. Tabata was 0 for 3 with a HBP as his average dropped below .300 for the first time this season. It is at .296 to be exact, and he is one good game away from having his line look the way I anticipated it would in the FSL, which is pretty much the way it looked prior to last night’s game. Reegie Corona was 2 for 4 with 2 singles and a strikeout. Juan Miranda had the same line, but substitute a double for one of Corona’s singles. Reegie now has a 7-game hit streak where he has gone 12 for 31 to raise his seasonal line to .278/.321/.354 (AVG/OBP/SLG). Miranda has a 3-gamer going where he is 5 for 12 to get his line up to .277/.342/.369.
