@ChrisKirschner. No word on the corresponding move yet”. Bauers have been batting really well with Scranton/Wilkes-Barre Railriders, the Yankees’ Triple-A affiliate. He owns a batting average of .304 with 9 home runs in only 21 games.
But there is still some confusion as to who Bauers will replace on the roster. Putting that aside, he provides them with some much-needed change, as the Yankees are struggling to win games. Let’s have a look at how fans have reacted to the Triple-A star being brought onto the Yankees’ roster.
How did fans react to Bauers being called up?
New York Yankees fans have shown a lot of support for Bauers as he looks set to join the team’s roster. But there is some doubt about who he is replacing.
Some fans are excited that Aaron Hicks might be removed from the roster.
Cut hicks

Hope it’s them moving on from Hicks or Cordero. Neither has any real value to this team. Even if Cordero did have a few good games, he isn’t more than a poor fielder who sometimes hits home runs.
