A New York Yankees Minor League team had a health scam before their first spring training practice for pitchers and catchers.
Non-Roster Pitcher Eric Reyzelman was hospitalized due to an allergic reaction. Reyzelman, 23, was taken to a hospital in Tamoa, Florida, in an ambulance at about 1 p.m. 10 to help a person with an airway problem per Northjersey.com.

Reyzelman’s reaction was apparently related to a peanut allergy according to the report. “He is held overnight for observation and we will get a new update likely (Thursday),” said Yankees spokesman Jason Zillo via NJ.COM.
The team did not notice what caused Reyzelman’s reaction, in which Zillo said there is “uncertainty.”
Reyzelman received an invitation to Yankee’s Spring Training as a non-Roster player after dominating the smaller leagues last year. With a fastball affecting up to 99 miles per hour, Reyzelman had a 1.16 era across three levels of smaller League baseball across 38.2 laps.

In 15.1 laps with Florida Complex League Yankees in Rookie Ball and High-A Hudson Valley Renegades, Reyzelman gave up only four hits and knocked out a huge 26 batters.
In Double-A with Somerset Patriots, Reyzelman continued to dominate when he gave up only five earned races and 14 hits in 23.1 laps. He continued to throw the strikes up and called up 37 men via strikes.
Yankees Bullpen is ready to be one of the best in the league, leaving Reyzelman a slim chance at best to make the opening day list.
