Yankees MILB 6/12: Cam Schlittler Ks 7

Notes: RHP Anthony DeSclafani has opted out of his contract, instantly signing with the Arizona Diamondbacks. It isn’t uncommon for a veteran on a minor league deal to do this. The Yankees could have added him to the 26-man roster, but there wasn’t a need. RHP McKinley Moore, as big of a project as you will […]

Yankees MILB 6/11: George Lombard Jr.’s Big Night

Notes: The Yankees released OF Christopher Familia. I talk about “cult followings” because it is fun to watch an unheralded prospect get some love. In 2023, that player was Familia. He hit 22 home runs in 68 games between Tampa and Hudson Valley, putting up a strong .307/.378/.617 line. Injuries and ineffectiveness have plagued him since […]

Yankees MILB 6/10: Pitching Rules the Night

Notes: RHP Bryce Cunningham‘s return from the injured list was short-lived, as he is back on the list after only one start. Cunningham has arguably impressed the most from last year’s pitching class, compiling a 1.93 ERA (3.33 FIP) over 46.2 innings with a 25.7% K, 6% BB, and 45.4% GB. The Yankees released veteran LHP […]

Yankees MILB 6/9: Where are they now?

A look at the prospects the Yankees have traded/lost over the last several years. This list is comprehensive (in my opinion) but likely not complete. So many prospects are lost to minor league free agency or latch on somewhere after the Yankees release them. Impossible to keep up with all of them. The Devin Williams deal: IF […]

Yankees MILB 6/8: Roc Riggio Hits 2 HR

Notes: The Yankees claimed utilityman CJ Alexander off waivers from the Athletics and assigned him to Scranton. No corresponding 40-man roster move was needed because they had space. Alexander, who has experience at the “four corners”, is 4-for-25 in his MLB career without an extra-base hit, walk, or stolen base. That’s impressive. He spent time with the […]

Yankees MILB 6/7: Cam Schlittler Hums in His Scranton Debut

Notes: A few days ago, OF Brando Mayea was pulled from the game due to an apparent injury. Today, he was placed on the FCL’s injured list. Ranked #26 by MLB Pipeline, the 19-year-old is hitting .297/.373/.500 (132 wRC+) with three homers and 19 runs scored. This is his second season in the FCL, but he was […]

Yankees MILB 6/6: Carlos Lagrange’s Double-A Debut

Notes: I have nothing to report. Injury Log Scranton (28-30) (Defeated St. Paul, 5-1) C Jesus Rodriguez: 1-for-4, BB, K Reaching base twice in five plate appearances feels like a “meh” night for Rodriguez. He is 8-for-21 (.381) with four doubles in his last six games. 3B Jorbit Vivas: 1-for-3, BB LF Everson Pereira: 1-for-4, K 1B […]

Yankees MILB 6/5: Jesus Rodriguez Reaches Base 5 Times

Notes: RHP Justin Lange (remember him?) started a rehab assignment today in the FCL. Acquired by the Yankees from the Padres for 1B Luke Voit (remember him?) back in 2022, Lange has dealt with wildness and injuries during his Yankees tenure. Today was his first appearance since August 29, 2023. He split time with Tampa and Hudson Valley […]

Yankees MILB 6/4: Bryce Cunningham Returns

Notes: RHP Bryce Cunningham (Hudson Valley) was activated from the 7-day injured list today. He started in tonight’s game. 1B/OF Dominic Smith, released last week, signed with the San Francisco Giants. To make room, the Giants designated LaMonte Wade Jr. for assignment. Between 2023 and 2024, Wade Jr. was a solid offensive performer, hitting .258/.376/.401 (120 […]

Yankees MILB 6/3: Spencer Jones Homers

Notes: C Alex Jackson opted out of his minor league deal. However, he has re-signed and was back in the Scranton lineup tonight. This is the second time Jackson has opted out (he did it in March as well). He has some leverage on the Yankees, as he is the organization’s #3 catcher. He is using […]
