There are conflicting reports on whether or not the New York Yankees have called up one of their top prospects – right-handed pitcher Andrew Brackman. Brackman, 24, was the Yankees 2007 first-round pick, and according to the Cincinnati Enquirer’s Nick Hurm, the team called up Brackman on Monday. Mark Feinsand of the New York Daily News says the Yankees have not called up Brackman, but he adds, “That doesn’t mean they won’t do it.”

Brackman was 10-11 with a 3.90 ERA at Tampa (A+ ball) and Trenton (AA ball). The right-hander signed a $3.35 million bonus in 2007 and according to Baseball America, he has the best fastball among the Yankees’ prospects. His career was delayed in 2007 when he underwent reconstructive surgery on his elbow in August of that year.
