Franchy Cordero: Headed to Japan

The 29-year-old outfielder never quite got it going at the MLB level, but he's always torn it up in the minors and his offensive profile could wind up translating well to Nippon Professional Baseball.

Yankees' Franchy Cordero: Sent back to minors
The New York Yankees optioned Franchy Cordero to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Sunday.Cordero lost his spot on the 26-man active roster after the Yankees reinstated another left-handed-hitting outfielder in Jake Bauers (shoulder) from the 10-day injured list in a corresponding move. Bauers will start in right field and bat leadoff in Sunday's game against the Royals and should serve as a strong-side platoon option at the position until the Yankees get Aaron Judge (toe) back from the IL. Prior to his demotion, Cordero had started in each of the Yankees' last three games, going 4-for-11 with a pair of solo home runs, a double and an additional run.

Franchy Cordero went 3-for-4 with a solo home run, a double and two total runs scored in a loss to the Angels on Monday.The New York Yankees watched Los Angeles jump out to a big lead early, but Cordero at least gave his team some life with his solo shot in the eighth inning that narrowed the deficit to three runs. The outfielder finished with three hits overall, more than he had tallied over his previous 33 at-bats combined. Cordero homered four times in his first seven games as a Yankee, but Wednesday's long ball was his first since that span. He's spent most of his time in the minors since finishing April in a 1-for-28 swoon.
