With the scuffling Yankees in desperate need of a spark, the team is reportedly set to call up two minor leaguers, though neither is hyped infielder Oswald Peraza.
According to Bob Klapisch of the Star Ledger, the Yanks are calling up former hyped outfield prospect Estevan Florial, while Daniel Alvarez Montas of El Extra Base reports that Oswaldo Cabrera is also being brought up from Triple-A, which Cabrera then confirmed on his Instagram page.
Florial, still just 24 years old, was a former top prospect before injuries derailed his growth. He has struggled in his multiple short stints in the majors in previous years, but this season, he is slashing .286/.368/.490 with 14 home runs in Triple-A, and the Yankees could be hopeful that he will provide more offense than the struggling Aaron Hicks.
Cabrera, 23, can play three infield positions and is slashing .262/.340/.492 with Scranton this season. He is the team’s 12th-ranked prospect, per Baseball America.
