Notes: The Yankees have signed veteran infielder Nicky Lopez to a minor league deal. This comes a couple of days after he opted out of his minor league deal with the Arizona Diamondbacks. The Yankees likely offered him more money. The 30-year-old Lopez played in 18 games for the Angels and Cubs this season, hitting .042/.179/.042 (1-for-24). [&hell

Yankees MILB 7/1: Engelth Urena Homers
Notes: C/UTIL Anthony Seigler, the Yankees’ first-round pick in 2018, has earned his union card. The Milwaukee Brewers, who signed him as a minor league free agent last winter, added him to the roster today. Drafted as a catcher, the Yankees started giving him time at second base in 2023. In 2024, he stopped catching […]

Yankees MILB 6/27: Spencer Jones Homers in First Scranton AB
Notes: OF Everson Pereira, the top choice to come up when J.C. Escarra went on paternity leave, is also on the paternity list. The Yankees decided to go with a 25-man roster instead of calling up someone from the Jorbit Vivas, Jesus Rodriguez, CJ Alexander pool (all three are on the 40-man). Another player on the 40-man, Braden Shewmake, […]

Yankees MILB 6/24: Elmer Rodriguez-Cruz Pitches Well
Notes: A trio of players made rehab appearances in the FCL today. None are on the Pipeline Top 30 list, though Facundo and Arias have received blurbs in the past on Fangraphs. OF JoJo Jackson was their 17th-round pick in the 2024 draft. He played in six games for Low-A Tampa last season, going 4-for-21 without an […]
Yankees MILB 6/22: Another Strong Effort for Griffin Herring
Notes: I have concluded that we aren’t receiving accurate roster updates from Hudson Valley. Today, they announced that OF Jace Avina was activated off the injured list. The problem? From what I can find, it was never announced that he was ever on the list. Keep that in mind while you wonder what the heck happened […]
