Also on Thursday, the Yankees announced an update on Garrett Martin (who is in Triple-A).
SWB RailRiders wrote: “The Yankees have made the following roster moves affecting SWB: • OF Spencer Jones returned from serving as the 27th man for Wednesday’s NY Yankees doubleheader • OF Garrett Martin was transferred to the 60-Day Injured List on 7/22”
Martin had been promoted to Triple-A earlier this season.
That said, he appeared in just eight games for the RailRiders before the injury.

Martin was picked in the 22nd round of the 2018 MLB Draft by the Baltimore Orioles.
He has yet to make his MLB debut.
The 26-year-old has been with the Yankees’ organization since 2023.
Somerset Patriots had written (on June 20): “Congratulations to Garrett Martin on being promoted to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre!🙌🏻 Martin leads all Yankees minor leaguers with 21 home runs and 54 RBIs.”
If he had not gotten hurt, Martin could have been a candidate to get called up this season.
