Bryan Mitchell

Bryan Mitchell making first start of season Monday for Yankees

New York Yankees pitcher Bryan Mitchell will start Monday against the Minnesota Twins.

What It Means:

Mitchell was pushed back to Monday after originally being scheduled for the front end of Sunday's doubleheader. This will be his first big league start of the season -- and only the eighth of his career -- for the 26-year-old right-hander. He's twirled a 5.06 ERA in 12 relief appearances this season for the Yankees, and likely doesn't bring much streaming appeal into tonight's matchup with the Twins.

In nine starts for Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre in 2017, Mitchell has gone 2-2 with a 3.60 ERA, 1.11 WHIP, and 25.4 strikeout percentage over 35 innings.
