Manny Banuelos - S - Yankees

Yankees purchased the contract of LHP Manny Banuelos from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre.

A no-brainer, even though Banuelos is slated to miss the entire 2013 season following Tommy John surgery. While the Yankees will essentially lose a year of pre-arb team control due to the injury, the 21-year-old southpaw still has a bright future.

Yankees pitching prospect Manny Banuelos will undergo Tommy John surgery on Thursday.

Banuelos was limited to just six starts this season due to an elbow injury and now he can be ruled out for 2013. Still, he doesn't turn 22 until next March, so it's way too soon to write off his future. He just won't make an impact for the Yankees as quickly as first expected.

Manny Banuelos - S - Yankees

The Yankees have shut down pitching prospect Manny Banuelos.

The 21-year-old southpaw was rated as New York's top prospect over the winter but ended up pitching only six games this season. He hasn't taken the mound since May due to a bone bruise in his left elbow. "He'll recover from this," Yankees vice president of baseball operations Mark Newman said. "That's what our doctors say. We have no doubt about it. At this point, there is no reason to push it. We are trying to be as prepared as we can for next season." The Yankees want Banuelos to pitch in Winter Ball and thus decided to cut his 2012 campaign short.

Yankees manager Joe Girardi confirmed that Yankees pitching prospect Manny Banuelos' left elbow showed no structural damage.

"His ligament checked out fine,'' Girardi said. ''He’s just got some soreness." While it's good news, it's not clear when he'll resume throwing. Banuelos, 21, has a 4.50 ERA and 22/10 K/BB ratio in 24 innings over his first six starts with Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre this season.

An MRI on Yankees pitching prospect Manny Banuelos' left elbow showed no structural damage.

It's good news, as there was some concern that he had a serious injury. Banuelos, who holds a 4.50 ERA with 22 strikeouts over 24 innings for Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre this season, will be shut down indefinitely.

Yankees pitching prospect Manny Banuelos has been placed on the disabled list at Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre with a sore left elbow.

No word yet on the severity of the injury. Banuelos was on the DL earlier this season with a back ailment and had pitched well since returning. Expect the Yanks to play things cautiously with their talented young lefty even if no structural damage is found.

Manny Banuelos gave up four runs in his inning of relief against the Jays on Wednesday.

Banuelos had pitched four scoreless innings this spring before struggling and getting taken deep by Edwin Encarnacion today. The Yankees' top pitching prospect, he'll be in the Triple-A rotation to start the year.

According to Joel Sherman of the New York Post, the Yankees will not call up prospect pitchers Manny Banuelos and Dellin Betances when rosters expand Thursday.

That settles that. While both were mentioned as possible additions to the bullpen down the stretch, especially the left-hander Banuelos, the Yankees feel they have their objectives this season. They also don't want to move them to the bullpen on the fly when they are committed to using them as starters in the long-term. Though a deal is unlikely, Brian Cashman is no doubt working the phones to find another left-handed reliever before the waiver deadline.

Yankees general manager Brian Cashman indicated Monday that prospect left-hander Manny Banuelos is unlikely to be called up from the minors when rosters expand in September.

"You may or may not see him," said Cashman. "It’s more likely you won’t see him. There are no plans for him to join us. He is 20 years old. He is at Triple-A (Scranton-Wilkes Barre) right now and there are no plans to push him. That could change, but ..." While the Yankees recently talked about using Banuelos as a reliever, Cashman said Monday that the young southpaw is not being moved to the bullpen with Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre. It appears that they don't have the sense of urgency to make the move now that Rafael Soriano is back from the disabled list and Phil Hughes is likely bullpen-bound.

Yankees manager Joe Girardi said that prospect left-hander Manny Banuelos will have to pitch in relief at the minor league level before he does so in the major leagues.

Banuelos was promoted to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre at the end of July and has a 2.45 ERA and 13/3 K/BB ratio over his first two starts. However, the 20-year-old southpaw is widely expected to be shifted to the bullpen with an eye on helping the Yankees down the stretch and in the postseason.

Yankees manager Joe Girardi wouldn't rule out promoting Manny Banuelos later this season.

"Sure," Girardi said when asked about the possibility. "We're looking at everyone and anyone who we feel that can help us down these last 50 or whatever games we have left. He's got a chance to go to Triple-A tonight, and let's see how he does." Banuelos, 20, gave up seven hits and three walks over five innings in his Triple-A debut Tuesday but also allowed just two runs and struck out eight.

Manny Banuelos has been placed on the minor league disabled list with a blister.

Banuelos should be back to normal in about a week. He's made one start so far this season at Double-A Trenton and shut the opposition out over four innings. The Yankees are hoping that he will be ready to make his major league debut at some point this summer.

Manny Banuelos walked three and struck out two over 2 2/3 scoreless innings against the Red Sox on Monday night.

Banuelos was a little shaky, but managed to wiggle his way out of a bases-loaded jam with one out in the second inning. The impressive 20-year-old left-hander doesn't have a shot to make the team out of spring training, but he could make his major league debut later in the year.
