SS Oswald Peraza1-for-4, RS, BB, K
DH Austin Wells1-for-2, RBI, 3 BB, K
It is nice to see Wells reach base four times. It is the first time this season he has drawn three walks (not that it is an easy feat)

Vasquez ties his personal best (set in August 2021) for strikeouts in a game.
RHP Jonathan Loaisiga1 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 0 K

He left the game early – not sure why, though it wasn’t long after an “injury delay” following his stolen base.
  LF Anthony Seigler0-for-0, BB
CF Jasson Dominguez: 2-for-5, 2 K, SB (30)
Dominguez is the first Yankees’ farmhand to reach 30 stolen bases this season. Dominguez has reached .230 for the first time in 2023.

Hudson Valley (55-43; 16-15 in the second half) (Shut down Wilmington, 3-0)

SS Alexander Vargas0-for-4
RF Grant Richardson: 2-for-4, HR (11), RBI, RS
.195/.294/.372 in 269 PA. He has homered in back-to-back games. Richardson has a .241 BABIP and can take some walks – but the hit tool has been inconsistent overall.
3B Marcos Cabrera1-for-4, K

RHP Baron Stuart: (W, 1-0) 6 IP, 4 H, 0 R, 0 ER, 2 BB, 5 K
Stuart, signed as an undrafted free agent in 2022, is impressive in his High-A debut.
RHP Mason Vinyard1 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 1 K
Since promotion: 3.06 ERA (17.2 IP, 15 H, 7 R, 6 ER, 1 HR, 13 BB, 18 K)
RHP Harrison Cohen1 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 1 K

RHP Jack Neely (S, 6): 1 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 0 K
2.14 ERA (46.1 IP, 26 H, 14 R, 11 ER, 16 BB, 70 K). How dominant is he? This is his first game without a strikeout since June 11th (13 straight games with a strikeout before tonight)

Tampa (46-51; 15-16 in the second half) (Lost to Bradenton, 3-2)

SS Jared Serna1-for-5, K
C Jesus Rodriguez2-for-3, 2B (15), RS, BB
.298/.375/.432. Rodriguez has been pretty consistent since Day 1.
DH Anthony Hall1-for-4, 2B (10), RS, 2 K
1B Josh Moylan0-for-4, RBI, 3 K
Professional debut for the undrafted Moylan. He is a 21-year-old 6’4″ left-handed bat out of East Carolina who hit .302/.412/.587 with 15 HR and 70 RBI for the Pirates this past season. The 70 RBI topped the American Athletic Conference. The Yankees signed him for a bonus of $150,000, which is $25,000 more than you can sign a player for without penalty (in this case, the $25,000 simply went against their bonus pool). In other words, this isn’t your typical undrafted free agent – there was some demand for his services.
3B Kiko Romero2-for-4, RBI
A solid Low-A debut for this year’s 7th-round pick out of Arizona.
2B Brenny Escanio1-for-3, BB, K
CF Daury Arias0-for-3, BB, K
RF Jared Wegner0-for-4, 3 K
Wegner, drafted in the 9th round out of Arkansas, is a 24-year-old right-handed bat.
LF Garrett Martin2-for-4, K
Bounces back nicely from his 0-for-5 professional debut.

RHP Justin Lange5 IP, 1 H, 2 R, 0 ER, 0 BB, 8 K
Last two starts: 11 IP, 7 H, 3 R, 1 ER, 2 BB, 18 K. The talent is tantalizing – can he consistently find the strike zone? He now has 110 strikeouts in 69 innings (51 walks)
RHP Matt Keating: (L, 5-8)  3 IP, 2 H, 1 R, 1 ER, 0 BB, 4 K
3.64 ERA (47 IP, 45 H, 25 R, 19 ER, 4 HR, 23 BB, 67 K)
