Estevan Florial - Call-up not imminent Manager Aaron Boone stated Friday that "nothing is imminent" in regard to Florial potentially being called up to the big club, Brendan Kuty of The Newark Star-Ledger reports.
Impact The Yankees have a need for outfield help with Aaron Hicks potentially out for the season due to wrist surgery, but Florial may not be in the team's immediate plans. The 23-year-old's name was on many tongues after he got off to a scorching start at Double-A this season, but Florial has since faded after being promoted to Triple-A, slashing .130/.286/.391 with nine strikeouts across 23 at-bats.

Luis Medina - Thriving in High-A ball Medina has registered a 1.45 ERA, 0.75 WHIP and 32:9 K:BB across 18.2 innings with High-A Hudson Valley.
Impact The 22-year-old punched out 11 batters over 5.2 innings Thursday to pick up his second win of the campaign. One reason for Medina's dominance thus far is improved control, as his walk rate is down to a tolerable 4.5 BB/9. He could ascend quickly through the system and further cement his status as a top pitching prospect if he's able to continue to keep the walks down. Medina has the ability to hit triple digits with his fastball, so the potential for big-time strikeout numbers is undisputable.
