Mitchell will be recalled from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Friday or Saturday, and he's an option to start Saturday's game against the Tigers, Joel Sherman of the NY Post reports. The Yankees want to keep Masahiro Tanaka rested, and while it was previously believed Nathan Eovaldi would be moved up a day to pitch on three days' rest, the team may instead decide to give Mitchell a start. It sounds as if a final decision has not yet been made.

Mitchell was optioned to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Sunday. Mitchell was with the Yankees for just one day during his latest call-up period and went unused in Saturday's win over the Royals.

Mitchell was recalled from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Saturday, Erik Boland of Newsday reports. Mitchell was recalled in the place of Jose Ramirez, who imploded in an outing Friday after being recalled himself.

Mitchell could be called up to make a spot start at some point next week, The Westchester Journal News reports. Manager Joe Girardi has indicated he'd consider using a six-man rotation at some points in April, so it appears Mitchell could be in line to be called upon for those duties.

Mitchell was optioned to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Sunday, The Westchester Journal News reports. Mitchell had been considered a candidate for the fifth spot in the rotation after Chris Capuano went down with a quad strain, but it appears the 23-year-old will instead start the season in the Triple-A rotation. He earned a call up last season and with another strong showing in the minors, Mitchell could be in line for another promotion this year to serve as the occasional spot starter or long relief man.

Mitchell will be considered for a spot in the starting rotation, ESPN New York reports. With Chris Capuano suffering a quad strain that will sideline him throughout April, the Yankees are in need of a fifth starter to fill in until Ivan Nova returns from Tommy John surgery. Mitchell will more likely start the season in the bullpen in the majors or as a starter in the minors, but a strong performance in camp could win him a spot in the rotation.

Mitchell tossed five innings versus the Orioles on Friday night, allowing two earned runs on six hits and two walks while collecting a pair of strikeouts in a losing effort. Mitchell put up a respectable effort in his first MLB start. Unfortunately his counterpart, Bud Norris, was nothing short of dominant and handed the Yankees' young hurler the first loss of his big league career.

Mitchell was optioned to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Monday, Mark Feinsand of the New York Daily News reports. Mitchell's major league debut included two blank frames Sunday in which he allowed no hits and one walk to go with two strikeouts.
