Nothing to report.
Scranton (37-41; 3-1 in the second half) (Knocked off Syracuse, 8-3)
RF Estevan Florial: 2-for-5, 2B (11), 3B (4), 2 RS, K
Florial has 35 extra-base hits (11 doubles, 4 triples, 20 HR) in 62 games.
SS Oswald Peraza: 2-for-5, HR (12), 2 RBI, 2 RS, K
A nice start to his July after a tough June (which featured an injury). He hit only .155/.265/.310 during that month.
C Ben Rortvedt: 2-for-4, HR (4), 2 RBI, RS, BB, 2 K
Simply put, he must stay healthy.
3B Andres Chaparro: 1-for-5, 2B (14), RBI, RS, K
LF Elijah Dunham: 0-for-4, BB, K
1B Carlos Narvaez: 2-for-3, HR (6), SF, 2 RBI, RS
Narvaez, who is hitting .283, has homered in back-to-back games for the second time this season.
DH Franchy Cordero: 0-for-2, RS, 2 BB, 2 K
2B Jesus Bastidas: 1-for-4, 2B (11), RBI, K
CF Brandon Lockridge: 1-for-4, K
RHP Mitch Spence: (W, 6-4) 7 IP, 5 H, 1 R, 1 ER, 1 BB, 8 K, HR
Spence puts together a big effort. His ERA is at 4.63 in 83.2 IP (84 H, 49 R, 43 ER, 16 HR, 32 BB, 72 K). It’s the third time this season he has put together a 7-inning effort.
RHP Deivi Garcia: 1 IP, 1 H, 1 R, 1 ER, 0 BB, 1 K, HR
LHP D.J. Snelten: 1 IP, 2 H, 1 R, 1 ER, 1 BB, 0 K, HR
Somerset (45-27; 3-1 in the second half) (Defeated Bowie, 9-5)
SS Trey Sweeney: 1-for-3, RBI, RS, 2 BB
A nice start to July after his strong June. Sweeney is hitting .245/.363/.434 in 317 PA. The most important thing is that most of the “bad” stuff happened early (he was still taking his share of walks during his down time) and he is showing a lot of progress.
CF Jasson Dominguez: 2-for-5, 2 RS, K, SB (19)
Dominguez’s first multi-hit game since June 16th. This one gets the average back over .200 (.201)
LF Everson Pereira: 0-for-5, RS, 2 K
C Austin Wells: 1-for-4, SF, 2 RBI, K
.253/.348/.494 in 201 plate appearances at this level.
3B Tyler Hardman: 3-for-4, 3 HR (19), 4 RBI, 3 RS, BB, K
Hardman is the first Yankees prospect to hit three HR in a game since…Jhon Imbert on June 29 down in the DSL! Before Imbert, I know that Everson Pereira hit three home runs in a game back in September 2021. I don’t recall if any others have done it recently. Hardman is hitting .250/.336/.582 in 241 PA (8 doubles, 2 triples, 19 HR, 40 RBI, 40 R, 27 BB, 70 K). He has three multi-HR games this season, all since June 17th. If he can truly play third base at the highest level, his stock goes up.
1B T.J. Rumfield: 1-for-4, 2B (7), RS, BB, K
DH Eric Wagaman: 3-for-5, 2B (7), 2 K, SB (12)
Wagaman is hitting .324/.375/.539 in 112 PA with a 12-for-13 SB rate (he was 11-for-19 in his career entering this season)
RF Matt Pita: 0-for-5, K
2B Delvin Perez: 1-for-3, SF, RBI, RS, K, SB (6)
RHP Chase Hampton: 5.2 IP, 8 H, 5 R, 5 ER, 1 BB, 3 K, HR
Hampton has very few clunkers in his debut season (had a 4.2 IP/5 R outing in Hudson Valley back on 4/25). Double-A is a huge adjustment so we’ll see how he comes back next time out.
RHP Danny Watson: (W, 2-0) 1.1 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 2 K
Since promotion: 12.2 IP, 4 H, 0 R, 4 BB, 11 K. He has ten strikeouts in his last 5.2 IP.
RHP Justin Wilson: 1 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 1 K
3.86 ERA (28 IP, 22 H, 13 R, 12 ER, 3 HR, 18 BB, 28 K)

Hudson Valley (40-33; 1-3 in the second half) (Defeated Wilmington, 8-2)
CF Spencer Jones: 1-for-4, BB, 2 K, CS (6)
.259/.323/.474 in 294 PA with 25 walks (8.5%) and 95 strikeouts (32.3%)
3B Ben Cowles: 1-for-3, 2 RS, 2 BB, K
C Agustin Ramirez: 3-for-5, 2B (1), 2 RS
Ramirez is 6-for-14 since his promotion with a double and a home run.
DH Christopher Familia: 2-for-5, 2 RBI, 2 RS, 2 K
Familia is 3-for-13 with a double and 4 runs batted in since his promotion. He has a rather incredible 35 RBI in 24 games.
SS Alexander Vargas: 2-for-3, SF, 2 RBI, RS
Vargas has three multi-hit games in his last four games played. A major slump crushed his triple slash, which is at .222/.276/.370.
1B Spencer Henson: 2-for-,3, 2B (11), SF, 2 RBI, RS, K
.254/.344/.455 in 221 PA.
LF Grant Richardson: 1-for-4, 2 K, SB (10)
RF Aldenis Sanchez: 1-for-3, BB, K, SB (12), CS (4)
2B Luis Santos: 1-for-4, K
LHP Carlos Rodon: 3.2 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 2 BB, 8 K
He handled his demotion to Hudson Valley well. He really didn’t do anything all that bad in Somerset.
RHP Zach Messinger (W, 1-5): 5 IP, 6 H, 2 R, 2 ER, 1 BB, 9 K
It took piggybacking Rodon to earn a much-deserved first win of the season. He owns a 2.98 ERA in 63.1 IP (57 H, 28 R, 21 ER, 6 HR, 32 BB, 82 K)
LHP Clay Aguilar: 0.1 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 1 K
Tampa (34-39; 1-3 in the second half) (Lost to Daytona, 12-2)

.288/.350/.491 in 309 PA.

.226/.330/.297 in 286 PA with 15 stolen bases in 20 tries.
C Ben Rice: 0-for-2
Rice is on a rehab stint. He got off to a red-hot start up in Hudson Valley (15-for-44, 2 HR, 18 BB) but has missed two months due to injury.
C Jesus Rodriguez: 0-for-2
CF Anthony Hall: 1-for-4, 2 RBI, 3 K
.275/.387/.461 in 230 PA (8 doubles, 2 triples, 8 HR, 33 RBI, 38 R, 34 BB, 51 K)

LHP Geoffrey Gilbert: 2 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 3 K
2.48 ERA (32.2 IP, 24 H, 10 R, 9 ER, 1 HR, 15 BB, 39 K). He is doing a solid job in his debut season – just add him to the list of pitchers who are deserving of a promotion.
RHP Matt Keating: 0.2 IP, 4 H, 4 R, 4 ER, 2 BB, 1 K
Keating is having a good year – hopefully this is just a bump in the road.
RHP Cole Ayers: 1.1 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 3 K
4.55 ERA (31.2 IP, 33 H, 19 R, 16 ER, 3 HR, 12 BB, 42 K). His BABIP is .362.

DSL, 2022: .310/.504/.506 (238 PA)

A massive improvement for the 18-year-old.
SS Hans Montero: 2-for-4, 2B (4), RBI, BB
