Charleston RiverDogs News Release


GREENVILLE, S.C. - The New York Yankees have announced the following minor league transactions affecting the RiverDogs roster:

-   IF Welfrin Mateo transferred from Extended Spring Training to Charleston

-   IF Miguel Flames - placed on Charleston 7-day disabled list

Mateo, 22, spent his fourth pro campaign with Short Season Staten Island last year, hitting .256 (23-for-90) with 4 doubles and 10 RBI in 32 games while playing all around the infield at third, second and short. The Dominican Republic native is a career .287/.359/.406 hitter in nearly 200 games in the minors. 2018 will mark his first Class A assignment.

Flames, 20, exited Friday's game after reaching on a hustled fielder's choice play and scoring in the fourth. He was replaced by Oswaldo Cabrera as a pinch-hitter later in that same inning.

After a 10-9 loss in the opener, the RiverDogs (29-30) send right-hander Rony Garcia (2-2, 3.64) to the bump after having their three-game win streak snapped. Saturday night's 7:05 p.m. start will be broadcast on WTMA 1250 AM and online streaming at riverdogs.com and the RiverDogs TuneIn radio station with "Saturday Dog Talk" pregame coverage starting at 6:30 p.m.

RiverDogs single-game tickets are now available for the 2018 campaign, the club's 25th season as the RiverDogs and their "175th season in dog years." Ticket information can be secured by contacting the box office at (843) 577-DOGS (3647) or online at www.riverdogs.com/tickets.
