Yankees MILB 9/2: Sean Hermann Tosses 8 Shutout Innings
News: C/1B/DH Josh Breaux is back up with Scranton. The Railriders are in need of bodies and Breaux is a logical prospect to promote. I think OF Elijah Dunham also belongs, but they are resisting that move for some reason. Scranton (65-64; 31-24 in the second half) (Defeated Rochester, 7-2) LF Estevan Florial: 1-for-4, 2B (21), SF, 3 RBI, […

Yankees MILB 8/31: Drew Thorpe Ks 9
News: Yesterday’s busy news day did not extend into today. Scranton (64-63; 30-23 in the second half) (Defeated Rochester, 4-1, in ten innings. I won’t lie – with all the promotions to MLB and no big prospects replacing them, Scranton’s roster isn’t the most exciting in minor-league baseball. But they still have a play
Yankees MILB 8/30: Ben Rice Goes Off
News: It looked like it might be a slow news day. Late this afternoon, Bryan Hoch announced that the Yankees are calling up Jasson Dominguez and Austin Wells. When we woke up on July 7th, Dominguez was staring at a .198/.341/.343 triple slash with a 94 wRC+ and 28.7% K. Since then (not including today), he has […]
Yankees MILB 8/29: Agustin Ramirez Heating Up?

Yankees MILB 8/26: Jasson Dominguez…Again
News: Two people independently contacted me tonight from Somerset, claiming that they spotted OF Spencer Jones in the dugout. Given Jones’ size, he is easy to spot, so I believe it to be true. Jones has not played the last two nights for Hudson Valley. Assuming he isn’t there for a wedding (hey, you never know), […]
