DotF: Florial continues rehab, Rosario stays hot in GCL win

Two quick notes to pass along this week:

• RHP Dillon Tate missed the Eastern League All-Star Game with a minor quad injury, Double-A Trenton manager Jay Bell told Matt Kardos. “It was just a slight strain,” said Bell. It’s possible Tate will avoid the disabled list completely.
• The Yankees will not re-sign RHP David Hale a fourth time. Sunny says Hale is signing with a team in Korea. We’ll always have those innings you soak up in Toronto last week, David.

Short Season Staten Island Yankees (4-2 win over Mahoning Valley)

• CF Brandon Lockridge: 0-3, 1 HBP — got picked off first … with a more age appropriate level after a weirdly long ten-game stint in the GCL … weirdly long for a recent draftee who was a three-year starter in college, I mean
