DotF: Rodriguez hits two homers in Scranton’s win

A few quick notes to get us started:

• RHP Domingo German has been promoted from Double-A Trenton to Triple-A Scranton, reports Antonio Mendes. German has thrown only 23.2 innings in High-A and 33 innings in Double-A in his career. He missed all of 2015 and the first half of 2016 with Tommy John surgery.
• RHP Domingo Acevedo has been promoted from High-A Tampa to Double-A Trenton, reports Mendes. Both Domingos are moving on up. Acevedo has thrown 91.2 innings at High-A between this year and last year. He struck out 106 and walked 24 in those 91.2 innings.
• RHP Jonathan Holder has graduated to the big leagues, so SS Thairo Estrada has replaced him on MLB.com’s top 30 Yankees prospects list. Holder is exactly halfway to the 50-inning rookie limit, but he has lost rookie status by virtue of his service time (45 days outside September).

• 2B-SS Thairo Estrada: 2-5, 1 R, 1 2B
• SS Gleyber Torres: 1-4, 1 2B, 1 K — left the game after the double in the seventh for an unknown reason … he stayed in to run the bases and complete the inning after the double, so if he was hurt, he gutted it out the rest of the inning
