Boone added the issue \u201cdoesn\u2019t seem to be\u201d related to the concussion symptoms that have plagued Frazier in the past.<\/p>\n<p>When Frazier first went on the IL, the Yankees said it was due to vertigo, which has since been ruled out. A vision issue still hasn\u2019t been ruled out, according to Boone.<\/p>\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>Estevan Florial, who showed flashes of good play, was optioned to <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/trip-and-travel\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"10\" title=\"Trip &amp; Travel\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Trip<\/a>le-A Scranton\/Wilkes-Barre on Tuesday.<\/p>\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n<p>Clay Holmes was available out of the bullpen Tuesday, but did not pitch. The right-hander was acquired Monday in a trade with the Pirates, in exchange for minor league infielders Hoy Jun Park and Diego Castillo.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019re excited to get him. We feel he already is very tough on righties and feel he has the stuff to go to another place,\u201d Boone said of the 28-year-old.<\/p>\n<p>While Holmes has been effective against righty hitters, his overall numbers are underwhelming.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe\u2019s a lot better than his ERA [4.93] would suggest,\u2019\u2019 Boone said of Holmes. \u201cHe has a really good arm and gives us a really interesting look.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Boone called Holmes a \u201crighty assassin\u201d and said they \u201cfeel there\u2019s room in there for him to grow into a really good reliever in this <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/game\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"7\" title=\"Game\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">game<\/a>.\u2019\u2019<\/p>\n<p>Among the reasons the Yankees felt the need to get bullpen help is the absence of right-hander Michael King, who has been out with a middle-finger contusion suffered while lifting weights, and was transferred to the 60-day IL. Boone said King saw a hand specialist Tuesday, still has another week of not throwing and could begin a throwing program next week.<\/p>\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>Right-hander Albert Abreu was optioned to Triple-A.<\/p>\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>Kyle Higashioka returned off the COVID-19 IL Tuesday and will likely catch Gerrit Cole on Thursday, Boone said. The manager pointed to Thursday being a day game after a night game and a way to get Gary Sanchez a day off. Wednesday\u2019s scheduled starter, Nestor Cortes Jr., said he thought he could throw 50-60 pitches in what will be his second <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">app<\/a>earance, and first start, since coming back from the COVID-19 IL.<\/p>\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>Luis Severino threw another bullpen session Tuesday, with the Yankees still weighing his next step. Severino could throw another live batting practice or begin a rehab assignment in the minors. The team also has to determine how much to build Severino back up, whether to bring him up once he gets to 50-60 pitches or wait until he\u2019s at or near starter\u2019s endurance. <\/p>\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>Yoendrys Gomez, a 21-year-old right-hander, became the latest Low-A Tampa player to be placed on the COVID-19 IL. Gomez is on the 40-man roster.\n            <\/div>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
