On Wednesday afternoon, the New York Yankees are playing the finale of their three-game series with the Minnesota Twins at Target Field.
The Yankees have won each of the first two games in the series, so they are looking to go for the sweep.
6-Year Player Playing For Yankees Triple-A Team
With the season nearly over, it’s worth noting that a recent MLB player is currently on the SWB RailRiders (the Yankees’ Triple-A affiliate).
Jarred Kelenic had signed with the franchise last month, but has been unable to get called up to the MLB.
MLB.com wrote (on August 28): “New York Yankees signed free agent RF Jarred Kelenic to a minor league contract.”
On Wednesday afternoon, Kelenic is starting in center field (and leading off) for the RailRiders.
