Weekly Prospects Check In: Donovan Solano

Yeah, yeah, yeah I know I’m a little late to this party but what can you do? Donovan Solano was called up from Triple-A to replace the injured Starlin Castro after the Yankees second baseman hurt his hamstring legging out a double inside Fenway Park against the Boston Red Sox over the weekend. Solano was the Scranton RailRiders everyday second baseman at the time and instead of fighting for the Triple-A Championship he will now look to do the improbably, help lead the 2016 version of the New York Yankees to the postseason.

So join the Donovan Solano hype train before it’s gone. Here is his minor league stat line from 2016 and here’s to hoping we see more just like it going forward in 2017 as well.
