Yankees MILB 5/23: An Offensive Explosion
Notes: Nothing to see here. Injury Log Scranton (22-25) (Doubled up Nashville, 10-5) DH Jesus Rodriguez: 3-for-4, RBI, SB (8), CS (4), BB, K Rodriguez extends his hitting streak to 13 (seven multi-hit efforts). He is hitting .389 with a .970 OPS since his promotion (44 hits in 30 games). All he does is hit, hit, […]
Yankees MILB 5/22: Griffin Herring Dazzles (6 IP, 0 H, 10 K)
Notes: Cooper Hummel has exercised an opt-out clause in his contract and will become a free agent if the Yankees don’t add him to their 26-man roster. I find that unlikely, as his MLB career (.159/.255/.275 in 82 games) hardly inspires confidence. Furthermore, he is primarily an outfielder, which the Yankees don’t need. I wouldn’t
Yankees MILB 5/21: Roc Riggio’s Big Night
Notes: RHP Greysen Carter, the hard thrower with no idea where the ball is going, was sent to the FCL today. Carter, who hit 100+ MPH earlier this season, made seven starts for Tampa, going 1-3 with a 6.75 ERA over 24 innings with a 20.2% K and 21.8% BB. RHP J.T. Etheridge replaces Carter on […]

Yankees MILB 5/18: Rafael Flores Homers Again
Notes: RHP JT Brubaker started his latest rehab stint in Hudson Valley today. Acquired for infield prospect Keiner Delgado in April 2024, Bruaker hasn’t been able to stay healthy. He tossed only 16.2 innings in the Yankees system last year. The difference between Brubaker and Scott Effross and Clayton Beeter is that Brubaker is out of options
Yankees MILB 5/17: Roc Riggio Homers Twice
Notes: The rumblings about Jesus Rodriguez are starting. I get it – the Yankees have an issue with offense at third base, and Rodriguez can further help balance the lineup. But is he a third baseman? The Yankees have tried various positions with him. A natural catcher, he also has experience at 1B/2B (limited)/3B/LF. MLB Pipeline’s wri
Yankees MILB 5/16: Jesus Rodriguez is Scorching
Notes: RHP Clayton Beeter‘s rehab is over. The Yankees have optioned him to Scranton. The Yankees traded LHP Rob Zastryzny to the Brewers for cash considerations. This is a massive win since I no longer need to type that name. The 33-year-old has pitched for several organizations, including MLB stops with the Cubs, Mets, Angels, and Pirates.
