Hoy Jun Park, Rob Brantly Added To Roster
3 years agoNew York Yankees infielder Hoy Jun Park and catcher Rob Brantly were purchased from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Friday to help with depth after the Yankees put outfielder Aaron Judge, third baseman Gio Urshela and catcher Kyle Higashioka on the COVID-19 injured list due to positive tests. Park, a left-handed hitting middle infielder, has hit .303/.450/.505 with nine home runs, 28 RBI and nine stolen bases in 54 games with Double-A Somerset and Scranton/Wilkes-Barre this year, while Brantly hit .270/.391/.477 with six home runs and 22 RBI in 34 games at Triple-A. Neither player is guaranteed regular playing time, even with the Yankees short-handed. Brantly will serve as the backup to Gary Sanchez behind the dish.
