Mitchell went three innings in relief in Saturday's blowout of the Tigers, allowing one run on four hits while striking out two to earn his first MLB save.

It was actually his first save in professional baseball, as Mitchell's been a starter in the minors. If you somehow benefited from this performance in fantasy, drop what you're doing and go to Vegas right now. Mitchell had been considered for the start Saturday, but the Yankees instead elected to push up Nathan Eovaldi on three days' rest. The 24-year-old Mitchell has pitched to a 2.79 ERA, but a non-matching 1.33 WHIP for Triple-A Scranton this year. It's uncertain whether he'll stick around as a bullpen arm for the Yankees, but he delivered sufficiently credible work in this one.

Mitchell was officially recalled from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Friday, Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports.

With Sergio Santos (elbow) hitting the DL, the Yankees will bring up Mitchell, who holds a 2.79 ERA in 13 starts at Triple-A. Mitchell could be in line to start Saturday's game, though the team is yet to offer confirmation.

Mitchell will be recalled from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Friday or Saturday, and he's an option to start Saturday's game against the Tigers, Joel Sherman of the NY Post reports.

The Yankees want to keep Masahiro Tanaka rested, and while it was previously believed Nathan Eovaldi would be moved up a day to pitch on three days' rest, the team may instead decide to give Mitchell a start. It sounds as if a final decision has not yet been made.

Mitchell was optioned to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Sunday.

Mitchell was with the Yankees for just one day during his latest call-up period and went unused in Saturday's win over the Royals. He'll head back to the minors to clear a roster spot for Chris Capuano, who was activated from the 15-day DL and will join the Yankees' rotation on Sunday.

Mitchell was recalled from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Saturday, Erik Boland of Newsday reports.

Mitchell was recalled in the place of Jose Ramirez, who imploded in an outing Friday after being recalled himself. However, Mitchell's stint with the team could be short, with the return of Chris Capuano to the roster and rotation Sunday will require a corresponding move.

Mitchell could be called up to make a spot start at some point next week, The Westchester Journal News reports.

Manager Joe Girardi has indicated he'd consider using a six-man rotation at some points in April, so it appears Mitchell could be in line to be called upon for those duties. With Chase Whitley now in the rotation due to the injury to Masahiro Tanaka, Mitchell figures to be the first option to fill in should the club need an extra starting pitcher.

Mitchell was optioned to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Sunday, The Westchester Journal News reports.

Mitchell had been considered a candidate for the fifth spot in the rotation after Chris Capuano went down with a quad strain, but it appears the 23-year-old will instead start the season in the Triple-A rotation. He earned a call up last season and with another strong showing in the minors, Mitchell could be in line for another promotion this year to serve as the occasional spot starter or long relief man.

Mitchell will be considered for a spot in the starting rotation, ESPN New York reports.

With Chris Capuano suffering a quad strain that will sideline him throughout April, the Yankees are in need of a fifth starter to fill in until Ivan Nova returns from Tommy John surgery. Mitchell will more likely start the season in the bullpen in the majors or as a starter in the minors, but a strong performance in camp could win him a spot in the rotation.

Mitchell tossed five innings versus the Orioles on Friday night, allowing two earned runs on six hits and two walks while collecting a pair of strikeouts in a losing effort.

Mitchell put up a respectable effort in his first MLB start. Unfortunately his counterpart, Bud Norris, was nothing short of dominant and handed the Yankees' young hurler the first loss of his big league career. This outing came in the second half of a day-night doubleheader, so Mitchell is likely to return to a long-relief role for the Pinstripers.

Mitchell will start the second game of the Yankees doubleheader Thursday, the NY Post reports.

Mitchell's appeared in just one game in his big league career, throwing two scoreless innings in August. He's spent most of the season in the minors, going 4-2 with a 3.67 ERA in nine games for Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre.

Mitchell was recalled from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Tuesday, MLB.com's Bryan Hoch reports.

Mitchell worked primarily as a starter while splitting time between Double-A Trenton and Scranton/Wilkes-Barre this season, but will function as a long relief option for the Yankees. He'll likely see minimal usage, and thus may struggle to attain fantasy relevance, even in AL-only formats.

Mitchell was optioned to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Monday, Mark Feinsand of the New York Daily News reports.

Mitchell's major league debut included two blank frames Sunday in which he allowed no hits and one walk to go with two strikeouts. Considering the uneventful nature of the outing, the 23-year-old right-hander is a good bet to return to the Yankees' bullpen before the season concludes.

Mitchell threw two scoreless innings Sunday in his big league debut.

Mitchell right now is in long relief and mop-up role, but given the Yankees' attrition rate, he might graduate to a more significant role in the long run.

Mitchell was recalled by the Yankees from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Bare on Friday.

The Yankees' rotation is such a mess, that it's not inconceivable to imagine Mitchell making a start or two, however it seems likely that he'll be used as the long man out of the bullpen at first, especially with Esmil Rogers and his 5.84 ERA starting Friday's game. Mitchell posted a 2.88 ERA in five starts at Triple-A, but he was much worse in 14 appearances at Double-A earlier in the season, where he posted a 4.84 ERA.

Mitchell was scratched from his start at Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Bare and will be promoted to the majors, Ken Rosenthal of Fox Sports reports.

Mitchell has split time between Double-A and Triple-A this season, even making a brief appearance with the Yankees despite not pitching in a game. He may finally get an opportunity to pitch out of the bullpen for the Yankees. The team will require a corresponding move to bring both Mitchell and Esmil Rogers to the majors, which will likely come sometime Thursday night or Friday.

The 23-year-old hurler owns a 4.84 ERA, 1.52 WHIP and 60/29 K/BB ratio over 61 1/3 innings at Trenton this season. He'll provided additional bullpen depth for the Yankees on Sunday and can safely be ignored for fantasy purposes.

Mitchell was up in the majors to provide bullpen depth behind Vidal Nuno in Sunday's spot start. The 23-year-old right-hander should get another look eventually.
