Payton Tolle strikes out the side in the second. He's struck out four of six Yankees he's faced. New York's season-high in Ks is 17 back on April 23 against the Red Sox... when Tolle was starting. He had 11 Ks that day.

Marcelo Mayer is headed to the IL with a bone stress reaction in his forearm similar to Kiner Falefa. Tracy said heâs been dealing with it on and off for âa whileâ. Chang will be activated from Worcester and play a lot of short. Romy Gonzalez is in Worcester at least one more day
