Carlos Lagrange Contends for Yankees Wild-Card Roster Spot

Top pitching prospect Carlos Lagrange faced hitters in a live batting practice session at Somerset as part of the Yankees’ stay-ready group. Diagnosed with a capsular sprain of the right shoulder in early July, Lagrange recently returned to pitch an inning in a Triple-A game while topping out at 102.1 mph. Manager Aaron Boone acknowledged that Lagrange is in the conversation for the AL wild-card series roster, offering the team an intriguing and powerful bullpen option.
