Yankees manager Aaron Boone indicated Ben Rice will not catch soon despite Austin Wells' injury, given concerns about Rice's impact on the lineup. Wells was placed on the injured list due to headaches but reportedly has no concussion. Pitcher Brendan Beck threw seven no-hit innings for Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre, contributing to a team no-hitter against Syracuse. Spencer Jones has been recalled to the Yankees following the Wells injury, seeking to improve on his previous MLB stint. Cam Schlittler, named after a Boston sports legend, continues to draw interest from the Bruins' team president.
