Robert Pimpsner, who has covered the Staten Island Yankees over the last few seasons, has updates on a few injured prospects.  Arodys Vizcaino, sidelined with a back injury for the last month, is long-tossing, and will be ready to pitch in instructional league.  Caleb Cotham, the Yankees’ 5th-rounder out of Vanderbilt, was shut down after aggravating his previous knee injury.  Neil Medchill, the powerhitting outfielder from Oklahoma State, will have wrist surgery.  All of these guys would be big assets to SI in their upcoming series against Mahoning Valley for the league championship. Scheduled to start in the 3-game series are Adam Warren, Sean Black, and Jose Ramirez (who was promoted from the GCL).
