Yankees MILB 4/2: Elmer Rodriguez’s 2026 Debut
Top 30 Prospects Injury Log (Plenty of additions now that rosters are finalized) Notes: Tomorrow begins the chaotic portion of the minor league season as all four affiliates are scheduled to play. Add another pitcher to the cut list, as the Yankees released RHP Cole Ayers, who was recovering from Tommy John surgery. Cutthroat business, eh? […]
Yankees MILB 4/1: Jasson Dominguez Homers
Top 30 Prospects Injury Log (Not all injuries are likely reported yet, so keep that in mind) Notes: Add RHP Sebastian Keane to the list of organizational releases. Drafted in the 18th round in the 2022 draft out of Northeastern, Keane pitched well in 2025. He posted a 3.43 ERA in 27 games, covering 39.1 innings. However, […]
Yankees MILB 3/29: Carlos Lagrange Makes Triple-A Debut
Top 30 Prospects Injury Log (Not all injuries are likely reported yet, so keep that in mind) Notes: The unfortunate thing about minor league baseball is that teams have to make roster cuts.

Yankees MILB 3/27: Brendan Beck Ks 9

In 2021 and 2022, he made 58 […]

Like 2025, it’s going to be comprehensive but casual, as I think that approach works best. State of the system: Over the last several years, the Yankees’ system strength has been […]
Yankees Notes for 3/22
1. The Yankees trade Jorbit Vivas to the Nationals for RHP Sean Paul Linan I hope Jerry doesn’t insult the wake-up guy at the front desk. Perhaps that’s an obscure Seinfeld joke, and Sean Paul doesn’t spell his name the same way as the fictional marathon runner. Vivas was acquired along with failed LHP Victor Gonzalez from […]
Yankees Notes for 2/26
1. The Yankees sign OF Randal Grichuk to a minor league deal. While he is a non-roster invitee, it is fair to consider Grichuk a favorite to make the MLB roster out of Spring Training. After a solid 2024 campaign in Arizona (.291/.348/.528 (139 OPS+) in 279 plate appearances), Grichuk crashed hard in 2025. Playing […]
