Yankees promote Gittens, hope for jolt at first base

The Yankees have promoted slugging prospect Chris Gittens from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre, hoping the hulking 27-year-old can provide a jolt at first base in his first turn in the majors. New York entered Saturday night's game against Boston with its first basemen hitting .174 with five homers. The 6-foot-4, 250-pound Gittens was set to bat sixth and make his major league debut against the Red Sox.
