Yankees MILB 7/5: Everson Pereira Completes the Cycle
Notes: 1B/3B Jeimer Candelario was signed to a minor league deal after being released by the Cincinnati Reds. Candelario, a 31-year-old switch-hitter, hit a robust .113/.198/.213 (10 wRC+ – they give you nine points just for spelling your name right) in 91 plate appearances for the Reds this season. Yay. In an ill-advised deal, the […]
Yankees MILB 7/3: Griffin Herring Continues to Cruise
Notes: The Yankees have signed veteran infielder Nicky Lopez to a minor league deal. This comes a couple of days after he opted out of his minor league deal with the Arizona Diamondbacks. The Yankees likely offered him more money. The 30-year-old Lopez played in 18 games for the Angels and Cubs this season, hitting .042/.179/.042 (1-for-24). […]
Yankees MILB 7/2: Spencer Jones Homers Again
Notes: RHP Colten Brewer, on his third tour with the Yankees organization, was released. In 22 games for Scranton, he pitched to a 3.94 ERA and 32/15 K/BB over 29.2 innings. A lot happened on the farm today, as the affiliates went 6-0 while scoring 46 runs. Injury Log Scranton (44-35) (Outlasted Lehigh Valley, 9-8) […]
Yankees MILB 7/1: Engelth Urena Homers
Notes: C/UTIL Anthony Seigler, the Yankees’ first-round pick in 2018, has earned his union card. The Milwaukee Brewers, who signed him as a minor league free agent last winter, added him to the roster today. Drafted as a catcher, the Yankees started giving him time at second base in 2023. In 2024, he stopped catching […]
Yankees MILB 6/29: Spencer Jones Homers Again
Notes: A slow weekend for news in the Yankees organization. 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.

Yankees MILB 6/28: Rafael Flores: Another Multi-Hit Effort
Notes: No news for you. Injury Log Scranton (42-35) (Lost to Worcester, 5-3, in ten innings) 2B Jorbit Vivas: 1-for-4, RBI, R, HBP C Jesus Rodriguez: 1-for-4, BB, 2 K Position breakdown: Catcher: 36 starts; 3B: 20 starts; DH: 9 starts.

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 6/25: 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 his battery […]
