News:
Both C Anthony Seigler (Somerset) and OF Anthony Hall (Tampa) returned from lengthy injury list stays today. Seigler is readded to the upper-level catcher mix, where the Yankees have several prospects competing for playing time.
Scranton (46-50; 12-9 in the second half) (Defeated Buffalo, 5-1)
LF Estevan Florial: 1-for-5, 2B (15), RBI, RS, BB, 2 K
Florial has a 7-game hitting streak (9-for-27). He has four doubles and a homer during the streak.
SS Oswaldo Cabrera: 1-for-4, RBI, 2 RS, BB, K, SB (1)
The only thing he can do is perform down here and earn his way back.
C Austin Wells: 2-for-4, BB
Wells is hitting .286 (6-for-21) with two doubles and two walks since his promotion.
3B Andres Chaparro: 2-for-4, BB, K
Chaparro is 22-for-68 (.324) in July with 11 walks.
DH Franchy Cordero: 2-for-5, 2 RBI, K
2B Jamie Westbrook: 1-for-2, RS, 3 BB, K
1B Rodolfo Duran: 0-for-4, BB
RF Michael Hermosillo: 1-for-4, BB, 3 K
CF Brandon Lockridge: 2-for-5, RBI, RS, K, SB (10)
Lockridge is 10-for-11 stealing bases at this level and 27-for-30 overall. He is 14-for-43 (.326) in July.
RHP Randy Vasquez: 4 IP, 3 H, 1 R, 1 ER, 3 BB, 7 K
5.04 ERA (69.2 IP, 73 H, 43 R, 39 ER, 8 HR, 39 BB, 80 K). Just like with Jhony Brito, his numbers down here don’t concern me.
RHP Zach Greene: 2.2 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 1 K
RHP Matt Bowman: 1.1 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 3 K
RHP Greg Weissert: 1 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 2 K
Somerset (55-36; 13-10 in the second half) (Defeated Bowie, 4-3, in ten innings)
SS Trey Sweeney: 1-for-3, RS, 2 BB, K
Sweeney now has a 10-game hitting streak and has 14 walks in July. His hit tool is legit.
RF Willie Calhoun: 1-for-5, K
LF Jasson Dominguez: 3-for-5, RBI, K, SB (27)
Dominguez is now at a season-high .223 (correct – he has not been above .223 all season) thanks to his first 3-hit game since May 16th. He is 26-for-84 (.310) in July.
3B Tyler Hardman: 0-for-4, RS, BB, 3 K
1B Ben Rice: 0-for-4, BB, K
10-for-24 with three walks and two strikeouts since his promotion.
2B Max Burt: 0-for-3, K
2B Mickey Gasper: 1-for-2, RBI
Walk-off single in the 10th.
DH Anthony Seigler: 0-for-3, RS, BB
Seigler’s first game since June 25th.
C Josh Breaux: 3-for-4, 2B (2), HR (3), 2 RBI, RS
His 2-run HR with one out in the 9th tied the game.
CF Jeisson Rosario: 0-for-3, BB, K, SB (9)
RHP Yoendrys Gomez: 2.2 IP, 3 H, 2 R, 2 ER, 3 BB, 2 K, HR
1.72 ERA (31.1 IP, 18 H, 8 R, 6 ER, 2 HR, 20 BB, 36 K)
LHP Edgar Barclay: 4 IP, 3 H, 1 R, 1 ER, 1 BB, 6 K
1.32 ERA (34 IP, 26 H, 7 R, 5 ER, 1 HR, 11 BB, 51 K)
RHP Danny Watson: 1.1 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 4 K
Since promotion: 1.31 ERA (20.2 IP, 9 H, 3 R, 3 ER, 2 HR, 8 BB, 24 K). The dominance is so overwhelming that you wonder if a trip to Scranton is in the cards. They can replace him with Jack Neely here.
RHP Jesus Liranzo: (W, 1-0) 2 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 4 K
A much-needed dominant effort for Liranzo.
Hudson Valley (52-40; 13-13 in the second half) (Lost to Hickory, 6-5)
CF Spencer Jones: 0-for-5, K
SS Ben Cowles: 1-for-5, K
C Agustin Ramirez: 2-for-4, HR (7), RBI, 2 RS
Ramirez has homered in four straight games and has three straight multi-hit games (11 since his promotion). He is hitting .402/.449/.780 in 89 PA since his promotion and .293/.402/.515 in 321 PA overall. He has to be on the list of Yankees breakout prospects in 2023.
1B Rafael Flores: 2-for-3, HR (4), 2 RBI, 2 RS, BB
Flores has quietly hit .295/.375/.392 in 305 PA. He has three consecutive multi-hit games. I guess much of his prospect value will be dependent on whether he is capable behind the plate or if he is a 1B-only type.
RF Anthony Garcia: 1-for-3, HR (6), 2 RBI, RS, BB, 2 K
Garcia has homered in back-to-back games and has drawn at least one walk in five straight games.
DH Antonio Gomez: 0-for-4, 4 K
LF Grant Richardson: 2-for-4, K
3B Eduardo Torrealba: 1-for-4, K
2B Luis Santos: 1-for-4, K
RHP Zach Messinger: 5.2 IP, 4 H, 3 R, 3 ER, 2 BB, 6 K, HR
4.09 ERA (83.2 IP, 73 H, 49 R, 38 ER, 12 HR, 42 BB, 101 K). For Tampa last year, in the same exact number of innings, he pitched to a 4.30 ERA with a 112/45 K/BB ratio. He allowed seven fewer home runs.
LHP Joel Valdez: 1.2 IP, 2 H, 2 R, 2 ER, 1 BB, 2 K, HR
LHP Clay Aguilar (L, 3-1): 1.1 IP, 2 H, 1 R, 1 ER, 0 BB, 1 K
Tampa (45-48; 14-13 in the second half) (Defeated Dunedin, 6-5, on a walk-off single/error)
2B Jared Serna: 0-for-5, RBI
One is shocked when Serna puts up an 0-for-5, but at least he drove in a run (66th this season)
3B Jesus Rodriguez: 2-for-5, 2 RBI, 2 RS, SB (15)
He keeps flirting with .300 (including going over that mark during the game). He is on a 5-game hitting streak and has hit safely in 11 of his last 12 games. The 15-for-17 SB rate is an added bonus.
C Omar Martinez: 1-for-5, SB (8)
CF Anthony Hall: 0-for-2, SF, RBI
Hall, hitting .269/.382/.448 in 241 PA, plays in his first game since July 4th.
CF Daury Arias: 1-for-2, K
He hit the single in the 9th that scored Rodriguez on an error.
SS Brenny Escanio: 0-for-3, BB
RF Tayler Aguilar: 0-for-2, 2 K
RF Felix Negueis: 1-for-1, HR (2), RBI, RS, BB
A nice job off the bench.

RHP Baron Stuart: 6 IP, 8 H, 5 R, 1 ER, 2 BB, 6 K

2.72 ERA (39.2 IP, 28 H, 13 R, 12 ER, 1 HR, 21 BB, 46 K)
FCL Yankees (20-14) (Defeated the Blue Jays, 6-2)
2B Keiner Delgado: 1-for-4, RS
.287/.394/.485 in 160 successful plate appearances. He has 20 stolen bases and is maintaining a BB/K ratio over 1.00 (21/19).
3B Enmanuel Tejeda: 1-for-4, 3B (3), RBI, RS
.315/.483/.472 in 145 PA (.289/.463/.493 in 188 PA in the DSL in 2022). His BB/K ratio is exactly 1.00 (31/31)
CF Willy Montero: 0-for-4, K
.333/.386/.452 in 140 PA. Montero is 23-for-57 (.404) in July. Even with today’s 0-for, he has ten hits in his last five games.
SS Hans Montero: 1-for-3, RS, BB, 2 K
.265/.445/.444 in 155 PA. After a red-hot start, he is slumping in July (.160/.333/.200) but his overall line remains strong.
RF John Cruz: 2-for-3, RS, BB
.256/.343/.487 in 134 PA. Cruz has an impressive 7 HR and 32 RBI in 31 games.
LF Jose Mendez: 1-for-4, HR (1), RBI, RS
The 20-year-old is no stranger to the home run, hitting 12 HR in 108 games down in the DSL.
C Manuel Palencia: 1-for-4, RBI, RS
DH Juan Sanchez: 2-for-4, 2B (1), 2 RBI
Sanchez (20) has only five plate appearances this season. He is l isted as a catcher.
1B Kelvin Espino: 1-for-3
RHP Luis Serna: 2.2 IP, 2 H, 1 R, 1 ER, 1 BB, 3 K
6.30 ERA (10 IP, 8 H, 7 R, 7 ER, 1 HR, 5 BB, 13 K)

1.50 ERA (18 IP, 8 H, 5 R, 3 ER, 1 HR, 9 BB, 26 K). Just get him to Tampa already.
DSL Yankees (22-13) (Lead LAD Bautista, 4-1, in the second inning. The game was suspended at that point. I don’t see a completion date listed. By the way, LAD Bautista is 30-6)
CF Brando Mayea: 1-for-2
DH Josue Gonzalez: 1-for-1, 2B (11), RS
The double isn’t official (yet) but it would be his 11th in 21 games.
DSL Bombers (18-18) (Destroyed Rangers Blue, 17-6, in a rain-shortened (7 innings) affair)
CF Richard Meran: 0-for-0, HBP
He left the game after the HBP.

.278/.398/.454 in 133 PA (5 doubles, 1 triple, 4 HR, 25 RBI, 25 R, 21 BB, 22 K, 12-for-16 SB). A strong debut season.
