Notes:
I have nothing to offer, beyond wondering who comes up if Giancarlo Stanton goes on the injured list. Jasson Dominguez is the obvious choice if you can guarantee playing time. If not, it will be someone they throw at the end of the bench until Anthony Volpe is ready. Oswaldo Cabrera and Max Schuemann are on the 40-man roster.
Scranton (13-11) (Defeated Rochester, 4-3, in 10 innings)
SS Anthony Volpe: 0-for-4, 2 K
Although he didn’t play a full game, that is due to extra innings. Volpe’s rehab is entering the “race to the finish line” stage, as he has reached 23 plate appearances.
SS Jonathan Ornelas: 0-for-0
LF Jasson Dominguez: 0-for-4, K
CF Spencer Jones: 0-for-3, BB
.222/.347/.481 in 98 PA. He is in a 2-for-20 slump.
RF Yanquiel Fernández: 2-for-4, K
3B Oswaldo Cabrera: 0-for-4, R, 2 K
DH Seth Brown: 0-for-2, SB (3), BB
PR-DH Duke Ellis: 0-for-0, 2 R, 2 SB (7), SAC
1B Ernesto Martinez Jr.: 2-for-4, HR (5), 3 RBI, R, 2 K
Martinez Jr. walked it off with an RBI single.
2B Paul DeJong: 0-for-3
C Payton Henry: 0-for-3, K
RHP Adam Kloffenstein: 4.2 IP, 5 H, 1 R, 1 ER, 0 BB, 3 K, HR
RHP Yerry de los Santos: 1.1 IP, 2 H, 1 R, 1 ER, 0 BB, 1 K, HR
RHP Dylan Coleman: 1 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 1 K
Coleman started the season on the injured list. The 29-year-old has 97 games of MLB experience with the Royals and Astros, compiling a 3.84 ERA (4.33 FIP) over 93.2 innings with a 24.2% K and 14% BB. The season that stands out is 2022, when he owned a 2.78 ERA over 68 innings with a 24.6% K and 12.8% BB. As for what he featured tonight, his 4-seam fastball averaged 95.1 MPH, throwing it 80% of the time. He also featured a sweeper and cutter.
RHP Yovanny Cruz: 1 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 1 K
0.96 ERA (9.1 IP, 4 H, 1 R, 1 ER, 1 HR, 2 BB, 14 K). A rare night, as Cruz didn’t throw any pitches 100+ MPH (maxed out at 99.3)
RHP Danny Watson: 1.1 IP, 2 H, 1 R, 0 ER, 0 BB, 3 K
4.66 ERA (9.2 IP, 8 H, 8 R, 5 ER, 2 HR, 3 BB, 12 K)

Lombard is hitting .333 with a 1.044 OPS.
RF Garrett Martin: 1-for-3, HBP, BB, K
CF Jace Avina: 2-for-4, 2 HR (4), 2 RBI, 2 R, BB, K
Avina’s 6th career multi-home run game (he did it on back-to-back days last year). He has hit safely in seven of his last eight games, and this is his first multi-hit effort during that stretch.
2B Marco Luciano: 0-for-4, R, SB (2), BB, 2 K
1B Coby Morales: 1-for-2, HR (4), RBI, 3 R, 2 SB (4), 2 BB, K
Busy night for Morales. In 2024, he had a surprising year stealing bases, going 34-for-42. Last season, he went 17-for-20. This was surprising because he wasn’t a basestealer at all in college (1-for-3).
3B Tyler Hardman: 0-for-4, 3 K
DH Jackson Castillo: 3-for-3, 2B (1), 3 RBI
Castillo had seven 3+ hit efforts in 2025.

RHP Kelly Austin: 0.2 IP, 3 H, 1 R, 1 ER, 0 BB, 1 K
RHP Hayden Merda: 2 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 5 K
3.72 ERA (9.2 IP, 7 H, 4 R, 4 ER, 1 HR, 2 BB, 17 K). Love the strikeouts!
RHP Chris Kean : (L, 0-1) 0.2 IP, 2 H, 2 R, 2 ER, 0 BB, 1 K, HR
Gave up a walkoff home run to Drew Cavanaugh, which scored former Yankees’ prospect Parks Harber. Tonight was Harber’s 2026 debut. He went 1-for-5.
Hudson Valley (11-7) (Defeated Brooklyn, 6-4. Brooklyn falls to 4-14)
SS Kaeden Kent: 1-for-5, RBI
Kent has a 6-game hitting streak.
3B Core Jackson: 3-for-3, 2B (3), 3B (1), SF, RBI, R
Jackson’s first multi-hit effort since April 4th.
1B Kyle West: 1-for-4
C Eric Genther: 1-for-4, RBI
.327/.492/.388 in 66 PA. He has reached base safely in all 16 of his games this season.
2B Roderick Arias: 0-for-2, 2 R, SB (8), HBP, BB, K
RF Wilson Rodriguez: 1-for-3, 2 R, BB
LF Josh Moylan: 3-for-3, SF, 3 RBI, R
Moylan’s second 3-hit effort in his last three games. It has raised his triple slash from .091/.244/.273 to .222/.315/.444.
C Josue Gonzalez: 0-for-4, K
LF Cole Gabrielson: 1-for-3, BB, K
LHP Carlos Rodon: 4.1 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 4 K
RHP Rory Fox (W, 1-1): 4.2 IP, 6 H, 4 R, 4 ER, 1 BB, 8 K, HR
Fox’s first professional win. The strikeouts are nice, even if the rest of the line is iffy. While the ERA doesn’t stand out (7.53), he does have 21 strikeouts over 14.1 innings. Remember that this is his debut campaign, and they sent him straight to Hudson Valley.
Tampa (7-12) (Defeated Lakeland, 4-3)
3B Enmanuel Tejeda: 3-for-5, 2B (5), R, 2 K
Tejeda’s amazing ascent continues. He is on an 8-game hitting streak that includes four multi-hit efforts (15-for-37), as his triple slash is now .250/.422/.406. Before the streak, he was at .037/.333/.074. Amazing turnaround.
DH Engelth Urena: 1-for-5, 2 K
CF JoJo Jackson: 0-for-4, SF, RBI, 2 K
SS Bryce Martin-Grudzielanek: 3-for-5, RBI, K
Back-to-back 3-hit efforts raise his triple slash from .130/.259/.152 to .214/.323/.304.
LF Willy Montero: 0-for-3, 2 BB, K
C Ediel Rivera: 0-for-5, 3 K
1B Austin Green: 2-for-3, 3B (1), R, BB
3B Kevin Verde: 1-for-4, HR (1), 2 RBI, R, 2 K
Verde doesn’t play much, and entered today only 1-for-14. Naturally, he would be the one to give the Tarpons a 4-3 lead with a 2-run home run in the top of the 8th.
SS Santiago Gomez: 0-for-3, R, SB (1), CS (1), BB, 2 K
LHP Justin West: 4.1 IP, 5 H, 2 R, 2 ER, 0 BB, 6 K, HR
LHP Jose Ledesma: 1.2 IP, 2 H, 1 R, 0 ER, 1 BB, 2 K
RHP Thomas Balboni: (W, 1-0) 1 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 0 K
RHP Greysen Carter (S, 1): 2 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 5 K
8 IP, 6 H, 7 R, 7 ER, 1 HR, 14 BB, 14 K. He maxed at 100.3 MPH tonight.
