Injury Log Scranton (43-35) (Defeated Worcester, 6-1) 2B Jorbit Vivas: 0-for-5 DH Jesus Rodriguez: 0-for-3, CS (5), BB, K A late slump crushed his June numbers: .247/.362/.315. He is in a 3-for-35 slide (which followed four games where he went 8-for-18. Baseball!) LF Spencer Jones: 2-for-4
Yankees MILB 6/28: Rafael Flores: Another Multi-Hit Effort

Yankees MILB 6/27: Spencer Jones Homers in First Scranton AB
Notes: OF Everson Pereira, the top choice to come up when J.C. Escarra went on paternity leave, is also on the paternity list. The Yankees decided to go with a 25-man roster instead of calling up someone from the Jorbit Vivas, Jesus Rodriguez, CJ Alexander pool (all three are on the 40-man). Another player on the 40-man, Braden Shewmake, […]
Yankees MILB 6/26: Spencer Jones Walks it Off
Notes: See below for a game that will rank high on the craziest games of 2025. Injury Log Scranton (41-34) (Defeated Worcester, 4-2, to improve to 3-0 in the second half) 3B Jesus Rodriguez: 0-for-4, K Rodriguez is 3-for-27 in his last seven games. His average has dropped from .358 to .327. 2B Jorbit Vivas: 1-for-3, R, […]
Yankees MILB 6/25: Cam Schlittler: Cheat Code?
Notes: RHP Ben Hess, last year’s first-round pick, magically made his way back to the mound tonight after missing nearly a month for (?) reasons. Injury Log Scranton (40-34) (Defeated Worcester, 4-0) C Jesus Rodriguez: 0-for-4 Cam Schlittler ran into a little trouble in the 6th inning tonight (allowed three baserunners). Rodriguez helped out
Yankees MILB 6/24: Elmer Rodriguez-Cruz Pitches Well
Notes: A trio of players made rehab appearances in the FCL today. None are on the Pipeline Top 30 list, though Facundo and Arias have received blurbs in the past on Fangraphs. OF JoJo Jackson was their 17th-round pick in the 2024 draft. He played in six games for Low-A Tampa last season, going 4-for-21 without an […]
Yankees MILB 6/22: Another Strong Effort for Griffin Herring
Notes: I have concluded that we aren’t receiving accurate roster updates from Hudson Valley. Today, they announced that OF Jace Avina was activated off the injured list. The problem? From what I can find, it was never announced that he was ever on the list. Keep that in mind while you wonder what the heck happened […]
Yankees MILB 6/21: Spencer Jones is Scorching
Notes: I wish I had something to offer you. Injury Log Scranton (37-34) (Defeated Louisville, 4-3, in ten innings) C Jesus Rodriguez: 1-for-4, BB .340/.423/.432 in 241 PA. Rodriguez has been in an extra-base hit drought lately (3, all doubles, in his last 13 games). 2B Jorbit Vivas: 1-for-4, CI, K CF Everson Pereira: 1-for-5, 3 K Pereira’s [&
Yankees MILB 6/20: Spencer Jones Continues Surge
Notes: Utilityman Pablo Reyes rejected his outright assignment and is a free agent. The Yankees have enough veteran utility types, so no big deal. Reyes didn’t have enough service time (2.096 years – you must have three) to reject the assignment, but another part of the rule states that you can reject it if you have […]
Yankees MILB 6/19: Carlos Lagrange Strikes Out 12
Notes: C Antonio Gomez was placed on the Development List for Somerset. Normally, I don’t care much about that list, but Gomez jumps out because he was, at one time, one of the top catching prospects in the system. Gomez’s bat has stalled. This season, he is hitting .140/.225/.168 (26 wRC+) in 121 plate appearances for […]
