Yankees MILB 4/2: Ismael Munguia Extends Hitting Streak

Notes:

I have nothing to offer.

Scranton (2-3) (Lost to Syracuse, 5-1, in a sleepy afternoon affair)

CF Ismael Munguia: 1-for-3, BB
He has started the season on a 5-game hitting streak.
DH Everson Pereira: 1-for-4, 2 K
3B Jorbit Vivas: 1-for-4, RBI
Vivas committed two errors, which doesn’t inspire confidence that he can play 3B.
1B T.J. Rumfield: 0-for-3
C Alex Jackson: 0-for-3, K
RF Jose Rojas: 0-for-3, K
2B Andrew Velazquez: 0-for-3, 2 K
SS Braden Shewmake: 0-for-2, BB, K
LF Grant Richardson: 1-for-2, R, BB

RHP Erick Leal (L, 0-1): 5 IP, 5 H, 2 R, 2 ER, 1 BB, 7 K
The 30-year-old Leal has yet to make his MLB debut. Furthermore, this was his first appearance in affiliated ball since 2019.
RHP Ian Hamilton: 1 IP, 2 H, 1 R, 1 ER, 1 BB, 0 K
Hamilton’s second rehab appearance.
RHP Wilking Rodriguez: 1 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 1 K
RHP McKinley Moore: 1 IP, 1 H, 2 R, 2 ER, 3 BB, 0 K

Yankees MILB 4/1/25: Ismael Munguia Stays Hot

Notes:

Yesterday, the Yankees re-signed Dominic Smith to a minor league deal. The 29-year-old first baseman went 11-for-37 with three homers and 12 RBI in spring training. He should get some 1B/DH at-bats for Scranton.

Scranton (2-2) (Defeated Syracuse, 6-2)

CF Ismael Munguia: 3-for-4, RBI, RS, BB
Munguia’s hot start continues (8-for-17, 2 doubles, 2 RBI, 3 R). He has a pair of 3-hit efforts.
LF Everson Pereira: 0-for-3, 2 K
  LF Duke Ellis: 0-for-1, BB, K
The Yankees continue to limit Pereira, but I doubt it will last much longer.
3B Jorbit Vivas: 0-for-3, CS (1), BB, 2 K
1B T.J. Rumfield: 2-for-3, 2B (2), RBI, 2 R, 2 BB, K
6-for-18 (2 doubles, 2 HR, 5 RBI, 5 R, 3 BB, 4 K)
C Alex Jackson: 0-for-4, R, BB, K
RF Jose Rojas: 2-for-5, 2 R, K
DH Ronaldo Hernandez: 0-for-4, BB, K
2B Andrew Velazquez: 3-for-5, 4 RBI, K
Velasquez comes one short of tying his best for RBI in a game. He is 7-for-16 with three stolen bases.
SS Braden Shewmake: 1-for-5

RHP Zach Messinger: 4 IP, 4 H, 2 R, 2 ER, 1 BB, 2 K
Featuring a 4-pitch mix, Messinger maxed at 93.5 MPH with his 4-seamer. The 25-year-old went 7-8 with a 3.86 ERA in 150 IP for Somerset last year (114 H, 9 HR, 52 BB, 136 K). I thought someone might take a flyer on him in the Rule 5, but he slipped through.
RHP Eric Reyzelman (W, 1-1): 1.2 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 3 K
Reyzelman hit 96.2 MPH today.
RHP Yerry De Los Santos: 1.1 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 1 K
LHP Rob Zastryzny: 1 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 2 K
RHP Geoff Hartlieb: 1 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 2 K
