I have nothing to report
Scranton (50-55; 16-15 in the second half) (Bullpened Rochester, 5-3)
SS Oswald Peraza: 2-for-4, HR (13), RBI, RS
.272/.359/.502 in 245 PA (8 doubles, 1 triple, 13 HR, 33 RBI, 37 R, 23 BB, 43 K, 12-for-16 SB). Peraza hit his first HR since July 1 (20 straight minor league games without a bomb)
DH Austin Wells: 0-for-2, BB, HBP
Since promotion: .260/.387/.360 in 62 PA (5 doubles, 0 HR, 4 RBI, 4 R, 10 BB, 18 K)
CF Everson Pereira: 1-for-2, 2B (6), RS, 2 HBP
The painful way to increase your OBP. Since promotion: .340/.385/.570 in 109 PA (6 doubles, 1 triple, 5 HR, 25 RBI, 20 R). Pereira has a little speed but has yet to attempt a stolen base since his promotion (7-for-9 down in Somerset). Some of that can simply be a lack of opportunities.
1B Andres Chaparro: 1-for-3, SF, 2 RBI
Chaparro is tied with Jared Serna for the organizational lead in RBI (71).
RF Franchy Cordero: 1-for-2, HR (9), 2 RBI, RS, 2 BB
C Carlos Narvaez: 1-for-4
3B Jamie Westbrook: 0-for-3, HBP
LF Michael Hermosillo: 2-for-4
2B Wilmer Difo: 0-for-3, RS, BB, K
RHP Zach Greene: 1 IP, 2 H, 1 R, 1 ER, 0 BB, 0 K
RHP Zach McAllister: 1 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 1 K
McAllister’s last appearance as a member of the Yankees’ organization was on 8/17/2010, where he allowed four runs on seven hits over five innings.
RHP Ron Marinaccio: 1 IP, 1 H, 1 R, 1 ER, 2 BB, 0 K
RHP Deivi Garcia: (W, 3-2) 2 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 2 K
5.67 ERA (46 IP, 49 H, 31 R, 29 ER, 9 HR, 32 BB, 45 K). Technically, the Yankees have until next spring to continue to evaluate him (if they don’t DFA him before that) – but methinks his best shot at making it will be elsewhere. There might be enough here to work with out of the pen, but the Yankees are good at finding relievers and Deivi may just be out of time.
RHP Aaron McGarity: 2 IP, 1 H, 1 R, 1 ER, 0 BB, 0 K
LHP Anthony Misiewicz (S, 1): 2 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 3 K
Since being claimed: 4.63 ERA (11.2 IP, 10 H, 6 R, 6 ER, 1 HR, 7 BB, 15 K)
Somerset (60-40; 18-14 in the second half) (Lost to Akron, 10-8)
LF Jasson Dominguez: 2-for-4, HR (13), RBI, 4 RS, BB, 4 SB (34)
This is his first career 4 SB game (never stole more than two in a game prior to today). Dominguez is up to .238 with a .747 OPS (12 doubles, 2 triples, 13 HR, 56 RBI, 69 R, 71 BB, 118 K, 34-for-41 SB). In August, he is 10-for-25 (.400) with a pair of doubles and a homer. This follows a very strong July, so it is becoming safer to say that he has adjusted and matured.
1B Ben Rice: 2-for-5, 3B (1), 2 RBI, K, SB (2)
Rice is hitting .273 with a .965 OPS in 63 PA since his promotion. Overall, in 173 PA, he is hitting .299 with 6 doubles, 1 triple, 9 HR, 36 RBI, 31 R, 30 BB, and 29 strikeouts.
CF Elijah Dunham: 1-for-2, 2B (7), SF, RBI, 2 BB, K, SB (13)
Dunham is 25-for-31 stealing bases between here and Scranton.
DH Anthony Seigler: 0-for-4, RBI, RS, BB, K, CS (5)
C Josh Breaux: 1-for-5, HR (4), 2 RBI, RS, 3 K
2B Jesus Bastidas: 1-for-4, BB
RF Jeisson Rosario: 0-for-3, 2 BB
Rosario has seven walks in his last four games.
SS Max Burt: 1-for-4, RS
3B Eduardo Torrealba: 1-for-3, 2B (1), RS, SAC
RHP Blane Abeyta: (L, 6-6) 4.2 IP, 8 H, 5 R, 5 ER, 1 BB, 3 K, HR
RHP Jesus Liranzo: 0.1 IP, 1 H, 3 R, 3 ER, 2 BB, 0 K
LHP Lisandro Santos: 1 IP, 1 H, 1 R, 0 ER, 0 BB, 1 K
RHP Bailey Dees: 0 IP, 0 H, 1 R, 1 ER, 1 BB, 0 K
No issues here – he walked a batter before a long rain delay and didn’t come back out.
LHP Josh Maciejewski: 2 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 3 K
Hudson Valley (57-43; 18-15 in the second half) (Defeated Wilmington, 3-1)
CF Spencer Jones: 0-for-4, 3 K
.260/.330/.452 in 394 PA (24 doubles, 4 triples, 12 HR, 50 RBI, 51 R. 36 BB (9.1%), 119 K (30.2%), 26-for-34 SB). He is in another down period after a hot stretch – his season is filled with peaks and valleys. The end result is fine – he has things to work on.
2B Ben Cowles: 1-for-4, 2 K
Cowles has hit safely in all five of his August games and in 13 of his last 14 games.
C Agustin Ramirez: 2-for-4, K
Ramirez has been so good that a simple 2-for-4 feels routine. Trust me, it isn’t. Since promotion: .384/.430/.714 in 121 PA. Overall: .297/.399/.517 in 353 PA with 16 homers and 58 RBI. He has six multi-hit games in his last ten games played.
DH Rafael Flores: 0-for-4
SS Alexander Vargas: 2-for-4, 2B (11), RS, CS (6)
.208/.256/.354 in 347 PA. Last season, down in Tampa, Vargas hit .203/.271/.311 in 431 PA. I don’t know why anyone would want to get into the prospect-watching game. It can be so tedius as you sit and hope for someone to break out.
1B Spencer Henson: 0-for-3, RS, BB, K
LF Aldenis Sanchez: 2-for-3, HR (4), 2 RBI, RS, K, CS (7)
Sanchez has hit three home runs in his last seven games. This is a kid who has *8* career home runs in 1,375 plate appearances. Baseball!
RF Grant Richardson: 0-for-3, 2 K
3B Marcos Cabrera: 1-for-3, K
RHP Sean Hermann: (W, 1-0) 5 IP, 6 H, 1 R, 1 ER, 1 BB, 5 K
A solid debut at this level for Hermann, who pitched to a 6.00 ERA (5.37 FIP) over 78 innings for Tampa. He did compile a solid 58.9% GB, so that is something he can build on as he moves up. He is only 20 years old.
RHP Harrison Cohen: 2 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 3 K
Since promotion: 2.10 ERA (30 IP, 21 H, 8 R, 7 ER, 2 HR, 12 BB, 38 K)
RHP Luis Velasquez: 1 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 0 K
Since promotion: 2.95 ERA (21.1 IP, 15 H, 7 R, 7 ER, 1 HR, 15 BB, 25 K). Last 15.1 IP: 7 H, 1 R, 10 BB, 17 K. The walks are obviously still not ideal.
LHP Clay Aguilar (S, 2): 1 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 1 K
3.55 ERA (25.1 IP, 21 H, 11 R, 10 ER, 2 HR, 13 BB, 37 K)
Tampa (49-52; 18-17 in the second half) (Held off Bradenton, 11-9)
2B Jared Serna: 3-for-6, 2B (21), 3 RBI, RS, 2 K
Serna, who has 113 hits in 2023, has ten 3+ hit performances this season. He is hitting .283/.350/.483 in 443 PA (21 doubles, 1 triple, 19 HR, 71 RBI, 72 R, 40 BB, 75 K, 19-for-25 SB)
RF Anthony Hall: 0-for-5, BB, 2 K
C Omar Martinez: 0-for-4, RS, 2 BB, 2 K
.269/.377/.487 in 329 PA (11 doubles, 1 triple, 16 HR, 59 RBI, 49 R, 46 BB, 86 K, 8-for-9 SB). He hit 11 home runs in 110 games between 2018-2022.
LF Coby Morales: 2-for-4, 2B (2), 2 RBI, RS, 2 BB, 2 K
4-for-17 with a pair of doubles, a home run, and six runs batted in. The Yankees drafted the 21-year-old in the 18th round out of Washington.
3B Kiko Romero: 1-for-5, 2 RS, BB, 2 K
1B Josh Moylan: 2-for-3, HR (1), RBI, 2 RS, 2 BB, K
Moylan’s first professional home run.
SS Brenny Escanio: 2-for-4, 2 RBI, RS
CF Tayler Aguilar: 0-for-2, RBI, 2 RS, 3 BB, 2 K
DH Daury Arias: 0-for-4, RS, BB, K
RHP Ryan Harvey: 4.1 IP, 2 H, 3 R, 3 ER, 2 BB, 3 K, HR
RHP Osiel Rodriguez: 0 IP, 2 H, 4 R, 4 ER, 3 BB, 0 K, HR
Just toss this one out and move on.
RHP Montana Semmel: 1.2 IP, 0 H, 2 R, 1 ER, 2 BB, 1 K
RHP Yorlin Calderon: (W, 6-2) 1.2 IP, 2 H, 0 R, 2 BB, 0 K
3.34 ERA (59.1 IP, 53 H, 25 R, 22 ER, 4 HR, 18 BB, 72 K)
RHP Huey Morrill (S, 2): 1.1 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 0 K
He is listed as Hueston Morrill, but baseball-reference uses Huey, so we’ll go with that.
