Holder, 24, appeared in eight games with the RiverDogs this year after starting the season on Double-A Trenton's disabled list. The former 30th overall pick went 6-for-21 (.286) before garnering promotion. The San Diego native spent all of the 2016 season with the RiverDogs, batting .290/.323/.347 with a home run in 88 games before spending his second full-season with High-A Tampa.
Flames, 20, will make his season debut after appearing in 53 games with the rookie-level GCL Yankees West last year, batting .247 (47-for-190) with 25 RBI and splitting time between both corner infield positions.
