Mitchell has been yo-yo’d between Triple-A and the big leagues all season. For the year, he’s 1-1 and owns a 5.06 ERA over 16 innings of work. He last pitched on June 30th when he went three innings, allowing one runs on two hits in the Yankees’ 13-4 victory over the Astros. He was a reliever that day.
Latest on Porcello via Rotoworld: Porcello allowed just one run in an eight-inning complete game but was hit with a tough luck loss to the Rays on Saturday. He let in a run on a sacrifice fly in the second inning and that was all it took to lose the game when his teammates got shut out. Porcello registered seven punchouts without issuing a base-on-balls in the masterful effort. He falls to 4-11 on the season with a 4.75 ERA. The defending Cy Young Award winner has 109 strikeouts and 24 walks in 119 1/3 innings and should see more wins and a better ERA in the second half.
