CHARLESTON, S.C. - The New York Yankees have announced the following roster moves, affecting the Charleston RiverDogs' outfielders on Monday:

- OF Pablo Olivares - Reassigned from extended spring training to Class A Charleston

- OF Frederick Cuevas - Reassigned to extended spring training

Olivares, 20, went 10-for-41 (.244) at the plate while appearing in 14 games with the High-A Tampa Tarpons to begin the season and returns to Class A Charleston after a stint with the RiverDogs last year. The Venezuelan outfielder began the 2017 season red-hot with rookie-level Pulaski, hitting .363/.495/.488 with a home run and 8 RBI in his first 23 games before batting .160 (19-for-119) in 36 games with Charleston to end the year.

With their retooled roster, Charleston (7-10) opens a four-game set with the Columbia Fireflies (11-6), the Class A affiliate of the New York Mets, with a doubleheader starting tomorrow night at 6:05 p.m. Righty Rony Garcia (0-1, 5.06) gets the ball in game one and right-hander Nick Nelson (0-1, 7.11) will pitch for Charleston in game two.
