Roster updates were announced for the Yankees’ minor league system ahead of Thursday’s game. The Hudson Valley Renegades reported two moves affecting their roster:
– Right-handed pitcher Luis Velasquez was promoted from Double-A Somerset and will wear number 17.
– Right-handed pitcher Thomas Balboni, Jr. was placed on the 7-day injured list.
Velasquez has been part of the Yankees organization since 2019. Balboni, a 2022 MLB Draft pickup in the 15th round, has appeared in 31 games for Hudson Valley this season, posting a record of 2-1 with a 3.86 ERA.
The series and related roster movements reflect ongoing depth-building within the organization as the team evaluates talent across levels. Fans will be watching to see how these changes influence performance in the decisive Thursday game.
