Yankees MILB 4/18: Roderick Arias Hits a Slam
Notes: I don’t typically write much about releases, as they happen often (especially in the lower minors and DSL), but I saw today that the Yankees released RHP Kristofer Bow, their 14th-round pick in 2022. Bow didn’t lack talent, but control is an issue. Last season, for Tampa, he went 3-2 with a pair of saves […]
Yankees MILB 4/17: Spencer Jones Homers Twice (Again)
Notes: The catching carousel continues. Today, Somerset activated 20-year-old Diomedes Hernandez from the Development List. He played first base in tonight’s game but is also a catcher. Scranton placed IF Braden Shewmake on the injured list. IF Max Burt was promoted to Scranton to take his place. Shewmake is likely the most random player on t
Yankees MILB 4/16: Ben Hess Ks 9 (Again)
Notes: A few days after activating Edinson Duran, Scranton placed the catcher on the Development List. This leaves them with Jesus Rodriguez and Ronaldo Hernandez as active catchers. OF Grant Richardson was promoted to Scranton, while Somerset activated OF Christopher Familia off the Development List. Familia was a sensation in 2023, hitting .307/.
Yankees MILB 4/15: George Lombard Jr.: HR, 3 RBI, 2 BB, 2 SB
Notes: C Alex Jackson and C/OF Cooper Hummel are on the Triple-A injured list. That explains why C Jesus Rodriguez was promoted to Scranton. Additionally, the Railriders activated catcher Edinson Duran. Duran (22) played in 24 games in Low-A Tampa last year, hitting .218/.307/.346 with four doubles and three triples. This won’t be his first t
Yankees MILB 4/13: Spencer Jones Homers Twice
Notes: I have nothing fun to report. Scranton (9-5) (Swept a doubleheader over Rochester) Game 1 (Walked it off in a 3-2 win) DH Cooper Hummel: 0-for-2, BB, K PH T.J. Rumfield: 0-for-0, R, BB 2B Jorbit Vivas: 1-for-3, RBI, BB Vivas walked it off in the bottom of the 7th. LF Everson Pereira: 0-for-3, 2 K […]
Yankees MILB 4/12: Greysen Carter Hits 99.5 MPH
Notes: RHP Allan Winans was called up to take Marcus Stroman‘s roster spot. Winans (29) was selected off waivers from the Braves over the winter. He was drafted by the Mets in the 17th round in 2018 and spent four years in the organization before being sent to the Braves as “part of a conditional trade” in […]
Yankees MILB 4/11: Roderick Arias: 2 Hits, BB
Notes: “Are you ever returning to the Twitter platform for your minor league stuff?” I don’t know. However, I rather enjoy not being on that platform at the moment. Why try to play Whack-a-Mole with a bunch of dumb blue-check takes when I can ignore it altogether? I miss some aspects of interacting with other […]
Yankees MILB 4/10: Jackson Castillo: 2 Doubles, 6 RBI
Notes: RHP McKinley Moore and OF Christopher Familia have been moved to the organization’s Development List. The Development List was introduced in 2021, and its purpose is what you think it is. If a player has something to work on, and the organization wants them to do so outside of game competition, the Development List is there for [&helli
Yankees MILB 4/9: Ben Hess Dominates in Debut
Notes: Nothing to report Scranton (6-5) (Split a doubleheader against Rochester) Game 1 (Lost, 7-4) RF Ismael Munguia: 1-for-4 2B Jorbit Vivas: 0-for-3, SF, RBI 1B T.J. Rumfield: 1-for-3, 2B (3), R, BB LF Dominic Smith: 3-for-4, R C Alex Jackson: 2-for-3, 2B (1), HR (1), 3 RBI, R, BB Hitting in the minors hasn’t been a massive problem for [&h
