As the Yankees’ youth movement takes hold, change has reached Higashioka, who has not started a game since Austin Wells was called up Friday.
The Yankees want to see what the 24-year-old Wells can do, and Boone suggested Ben Rortvedt would continue to catch Gerrit Cole.
. “They’ve got to see what Wells has got. He’s been playing great in the minor leagues, and he’s definitely an exciting prospect for the future.”Higashioka’s job has evolved and now includes helping Wells acclimate and learn the pitching staff, for which Wells thanked Higashioka, Rortvedt and Jose Trevino.
Higashioka is in his seventh big-league season with the Yankees, typically serving as a reliable if light-hitting backup.
