Kyle Carr Promoted to Double-A Somerset
New York Yankees pitching prospect Kyle Carr was promoted to Double-A Somerset on Wednesday after a strong season at High-A Hudson Valley. The Yankees' 13th-ranked prospect recorded a 1.96 ERA, 1.07 WHIP, and 104 strikeouts in 119 1/3 innings pitched over 22 starts for the Renegades. Things began smoothly in his Double-A debut, not allowing a hit over the first three innings, but the southpaw ended up yielding four earned runs on three hits and three walks while striking out four in 3 2/3 innings of work. The former third-round draft pick will likely start at Double-A next year and has an outside chance of making his big league debut if he hits the ground running, but a low 8.05 K/9 for his minor league career dampens his potential fantasy outlook.
