Diamondbacks' Andy Yerzy: Homers twice for short-season squad
Rotowire
Yerzy went 4-for-5 with a pair of home runs for short-season Hillsboro in its 9-8 win over Salem-Keizer on Sunday.
The outburst ended a 6-for-48 skid at the plate over the last 14 games for Yerzy, who is viewed as the top catching prospect in the organization behind Daulton Varsho. Despite the recent drought, Yerzy is slashing .303/.382/.463 across 51 games in the Northwest League and looks on track to open the 2019 campaign with a full-season affiliate.

Diamondbacks' Andy Yerzy: Makes 2018 debut
Rotowire
Yerzy was assigned to short-season Hillsboro last week and has appeared in five games for the club, going 7-for-20 with a home run and three doubles.
The Diamondbacks had kept the 19-year-old catcher at extended spring training for the past two months, but he should play on a near-everyday basis now that the Northwest League season has gotten underway. Yerzy is regarded as the second-best catching prospect in the Arizona system behind Daulton Varsho (hand), though the latter's long-termed ceiling is perceived to be considerably higher.
