Yankees play musical chairs:
Weissert optioned to AAA
McKinney to 10 Day IL with back spasms
Allen DFA'd
Pereira called up
Peraza called up
Pereira gets start in LF Peraza to start at 3B
Fangraphs Win probability : Yankees at 69%
Apparently Fangraphs is now a fiction site.
Yankees lineup will not be featured on a box of Wheaties.

Call up Pereira good. DFA Allen good. Give Pereira #80, bad. Put Domiguez in AAA good. Give him Pereira's uni # at SWB, karma. Promoting OF Grant Richardson from HV to replace Dominguez. Bad. Leaving Spencer Jones in Hudson Valley, bad. Shows another stupid mistake in player development. Jones might be a bit streaky offensively, but I've watched enough, you can move him for the last 18 games or so of the season to AA. Plus it helps more than it hurts his development. But, like why wasn't Vargas moved up to replace Sweeney? Why was Serna stuck in Tampa for so long? Why wasn't Lombard put on the FCL the once Arias went down for the y…
