Called up, will start Wednesday The Yankees recalled Florial from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Wednesday, Mark Feinsand of MLB.com reports. Manager Aaron Boone said Florial will start in center field and bat...

Impact New York brought up two of its top prospects in Florial and Oswaldo Cabrera from Triple-A and will immediately insert the two into the starting nine, while reserve outfielders Miguel Andujar and Tim Locastro were sent back to Scranton/Wilkes-Barre in corresponding moves. At the very least, Florial should serve as the Yankees' fourth outfielder while he's up with the big club, and he could even supplant the struggling Aaron Hicks as the team's primary center fielder. Hicks is on the bench Wednesday for the second day in a row to clear a spot in the lineup for Florial, who had slashed .300/.375/.500 over his final 12 games at Triple-A prior to being promoted.

Making return to majors The Yankees plan to recall Florial from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre ahead of Wednesday's game against the Rays, Bob Klapisch of The New York Times reports.

Impact Florial has had brief stops in the big leagues over each of the last three seasons, but the Yankees may be prepared to give the 24-year-old a more permanent look in their outfield as the team looks to end its 3-11 slide to begin August. Aaron Hicks (.119 batting average this month) has been one of the many culprits of the Yankees' ongoing slide, so manager Aaron Boone could be ready to give Florial a trial run as an everyday player with the hope he can inject some life into the offense. Florial has supplied an .864 OPS over 398 plate appearances at Triple-A this season and has slashed .300/.375/.500 with five extra-base hits and three stolen bases over his last 12 games.

Red hot in Triple-A Florial is in the midst of a 10-game hitting streak with Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre, and he's slashing .417/.511/1.083 with six home runs, six doubles, 10 RBI, three stolen bas...

Impact Florial was hitting .288 in the minors before the streak started, and he's pushed that average up to .307 with the scorching hot stretch. The 24-year-old also has 11 home runs and 26 steals over 65 games for the Triple-A club this season, though his 29.4 percent strikeout rate is still a concern. The Yankees are relatively healthy and aren't exactly hurting for offense, so it's uncertain whether Florial's big minor-league numbers will earn him a call-up anytime soon. He's played in four big-league games with New York this season, going 0-for-11 with four strikeouts and a stolen base.

Impact Florial didn't appear in either game and will immediately head back to the minors. He's picked up 12 plate appearances with the Yankees this season, but he has yet to record a hit.

Joins New York for twin bill The Yankees recalled Florial from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre and appointed him as their 27th man for Thursday's doubleheader with the Angels.

Impact Aaron Judge, Joey Gallo, Aaron Hicks and Miguel Andujar are all healthy and represent the Yankees' top options in the outfield or at designated hitter, so Florial's stay with the big club is unlikely to extend beyond Thursday. Over his previous four games with the Yankees this season, Florial has gone hitless over 11 at-bats.

Impact The 24-year-old was promoted as the 27th man for Sunday's doubleheader but stuck around with New York short on outfield depth, and he'll return to the minors after going 0-for-9 with four strikeouts and a walk. Florial will head back to Scranton/Wilkes-Barre, where he has a .273/.358/.438 slash line with four home runs, 12 RBI and 11 stolen bases in 32 games.

Joins big club for doubleheader The Yankees called up Florial from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Sunday.

Impact Florial will temporarily give the Yankees some added depth in the outfield after Tim Locastro (back) was moved to the 10-day injured list, but it's unclear if the former will stick around with the big club beyond Sunday's doubleheader with the Rangers. Since Florial is being designated as the 27th man for the twin bill, the Yankees would have to option another player to the minors following the doubleheader in order to keep the 24-year-old around.
