Upstate Native Promoted to Yankees

THE BRONX — East Greenbush native Kevin Smith was promoted to the New York Yankees’ major league roster last weekend after infielder Jon Berti was placed on the 10-day injured list. Smith wore number 74. He had previously been assigned to the AAA Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders before being called up. 

Smith made his Yankees debut in the tenth inning of game two of a doubleheader against the Cleveland Guardians, pinch running for Giancarlo Stanton.
