Yankees MILB 7/6: Agustin Ramirez Homers Again

News: There’s some time off coming up for the system. First, they are off on Sunday and Monday. Then, after a full week of games Tuesday-Sunday, they take four days off for the MLB All-Star Break (they don’t play minor league All-Star games anymore, other than the Futures Game). This only applies to full-season leagues. […]

Yankees MILB 7/5: Ben Cowles’ Big Day

News: RHP Phil Bickford rejected an outright assignment a few days ago. Today, he re-signed with the Yankees. Veterans often do this to earn extra money on minor league deals if they can’t secure an MLB opportunity elsewhere. Scranton (47-37)  (Defeated Lehigh Valley, 7-4) CF Brandon Lockridge: 1-for-3, SAC, CS (3) .293/.406/.389 in 189 PA. I can’t […]

Yankees MILB 7/4: Jorbit Vivas Doubles Twice

News: Happy 4th of July! LHP Henry Lalane made his 2024 debut today. Standing 6’7″, Lalane was born in the Bronx but moved to the Dominican Republic when he was four months old (which is why he was an international signing and not a draftee). What makes him interesting? A kid his size typically has control […]

Yankees MILB 7/2: Spencer Jones Homers

News: The Yankees’ two representatives in this year’s Futures Game are OF Spencer Jones and LHP Brock Selvidge. Congrats to the Somerset teammates. IF Caleb Durbin was transferred to the 60-day injured list today. That’s not good news. They made it retroactive to June 27, according to Conor Foley. That doesn’t make sense, since he last played […]

Yankees MILB 7/1: Roc Riggio Continues Hot Streak

News: Typically speaking, full-season leagues have Monday off. Not this week. Rather, they will play a Monday – Saturday schedule with Sunday off. That means they will get both Sunday and Monday off next week. RHP Chase Hampton, who I assumed may not pitch in 2024, threw a rehab game for the FCL today.  I […]

Yankees MILB 6/29: Cam Schlittler Ks 7

News: C/1B Josh Breaux was released. The 2nd round pick in the 2018 draft showed off his trademark power at times (69 HR, .457 SLG in 326 games) but the rest of his game didn’t develop. Injuries didn’t help in his progression. C/1B Josue Gonzalez was moved from the FCL to Tampa. After a spectacular 2023 […]

Yankees MILB 6/28: Agustin Ramirez Hits First Scranton Homer

News: None.

We talk about his good pop for a middle infielder, but he also can run a little. Last year, […]
