Yankees MILB 6/23: Carlos Narvaez Goes 5-for-5

News: The Yankees acquired 1B/3B J.D. Davis (and cash) from the Oakland Athletics for IF Jordan Groshans. The money will likely cover most (if not all) of what remains on Davis’ 1-year deal. It isn’t much. Davis is hitting .236/.304/.366 (98 wRC+) in 135 PA. He has four home runs and five runs batted in. Interesting. The defensive metrics […]

Yankees MILB 6/22: Jesus Rodriguez Hits First Double-A Homer

News: RHP Cam Schlittler was promoted to Scranton from Hudson Valley. This is likely a move for need rather than a permanent placement. Typically speaking, a prospect isn’t going to skip over Double-A. Schlittler has put together a solid season, pitching to a 2.32 ERA (3.97 FIP) over 54.1 innings with a 56.4% GB, 31.7% K, […]

Yankees MILB 6/21: Jace Avina Doubles, Homers

News: RHP Yoendrys Gomez and Phil Bickford were promoted to MLB today. RHP Ron Marinaccio was demoted to Scranton while LHP Victor Gonzalez was designated for assignment. Gonzalez doesn’t have enough service time to refuse an outright assignment, nor has he been outrighted before. Hence, if he somehow clears waivers (unlikely), the Yankees could store him for depth. Gonzalez looked like a […]

Yankees MILB 6/20: Spencer Jones: 2 Hits, RBI, SB, BB

News: OF Jasson Dominguez will miss at least eight weeks due to an oblique injury. That pushes his return to mid-August, where he will undoubtedly be rusty. He can still be one of the September call-ups, but we must be realistic about 2024 expectations. He hasn’t played much and the Yankees will likely be cautious. As […]

Yankees MILB 6/19: George Lombard Jr. Hits First Pro HR

News: There was a flurry of moves today, some of which were prompted by the promotion of Ben Rice to the Yankees from Scranton. The Yankees promoted C/1B Agustin Ramirez from Somerset to replace Rice. Ramirez’s ascent has been fun and fast. While he performed well as a 17-year-old in the DSL (18.9% K rate was telling), […]

Yankees MILB 6/18: Trystan Vrieling’s Masterful Performance

News: RHP JT Brubaker and Scott Effross will begin their rehab stints in Tampa on Wednesday. Effross hasn’t pitched since October 2, 2022. Acquired from the Cubs for Hayden Wesneski, he pitched to a 2.54 ERA (2.46 FIP) in 2022 with a 27.1% K and 44% GB. While he isn’t a traditional “blow it past you” reliever, he […]

Yankees MILB 6/17: 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 not complete. The Jameson Taillon deal: RHP Roansy Contreras – The “big fish” in the deal for Pittsburgh, Contreras struggled to the point where the Pirates designated him for assignment, eventually trading him to the Angels […]

Yankees MILB 6/16: George Lombard Jr. Triples, Drives in 3

News: OF Jasson Dominguez is back on the injured list. According to Aaron Boone, he felt something in his side while swinging. That instantly makes one think of oblique, but we’ll wait until testing is complete. Dominguez, who was pulled early last night, has consistently hit the ball hard since returning from his injury. This was […]
