Why Yankees replaced Aaron Hicks with Ryan LaMarre instead of Estevan Florial
NY Post
BALTIMORE — The Yankees will be without Aaron Hicks for at least another week with the center fielder on the 10-day IL with a torn sheath in his left wrist, but prospect Estevan Florial is not yet an option to replace him.
Florial was just promoted to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Friday and needs to spend at least 72 hours there before he’s eligible to be put on the major league roster. The Yankees may not have gone with Florial anyway, as they are looking for him to get reps, but he will be in play at some point, especially since he’s on the 40-man roster.
