Notes: A lot of roster assignments in the DSL today in anticipation of their openers on Monday. I say openers because the Yankees have two Dominican Summer League (DSL) teams. If you are new to this, they do play each other during the season. One unique feature of the DSL is that the rosters do […]
Yankees MILB 5/30: Tyler Hardman Homers Twice (Again)
Notes: There’s nothing I can offer you. Injury Log Scranton (24-28) (Defeated Worcester, 3-1) C Jesus Rodriguez: 0-for-4, 2 K Rodriguez is 4-for-22 in his last five games (one of those games was a 3-hit effort).

Yankees MILB 5/29: Spencer Jones Returns
Notes: OF Spencer Jones, out since May 3rd due to an “intercostal injury,” returned to the Somerset lineup tonight. He joined Jazz Chisholm Jr., who is in Somerset on a rehab stint. Unfortunately, when someone comes off the injured list, someone has to go. The Yankees have released OF Grant Richardson. Drafted in the 17th round in [&hel
Yankees MILB 5/28: Carlos Lagrange’s Big Effort
Notes: Early-season standout Griffin Herring was promoted from Tampa to Hudson Valley. The Yankees went heavy on SEC pitchers in the 2024 draft, and the left-handed Herring was no exception. Out of LSU, the Yankees drafted him in the 6th round and signed him to an overslot bonus (as a draft-eligible sophomore, he had leverage). He was […]
Yankees MILB 5/27: Jesus Rodriguez Swats 3 Hits
Notes: Nothing that would interest you. Injury Log Scranton (23-26) (Knocked off Worcester, 11-6) 3B Jesus Rodriguez: 3-for-5, RBI Rodriguez has seven 3-hit efforts since his promotion (32 games) and has 31 hits in 19 May games. This is incredible to watch, no matter what one thinks of his prospect status. LF Dominic Smith: 0-for-4, R, BB, [&hellip
Yankees MILB 5/25: George Lombard Jr. Reaches Base 4 Times
Notes: The Yankees elected not to add Cooper Hummel to the 26-man roster. He is now a free agent. LHP Brock Selvidge‘s rehab was moved from the FCL to Tampa. Injury Log Scranton (22-26) Their game against Nashville was cancelled and won’t be made up. T.J. Rumfield homered before the rain started, but it won’t count. Somerset (22-
Yankees MILB 5/24: Rafael Flores Hits 10th HR
Notes: Nothing to see here. Injury Log Scranton (22-26) (Lost to Nashville, 12-5) C Jesus Rodriguez: 0-for-4, BB, K Rodriguez’s hitting streak is snapped at 13. He is now hitting only .376 with a .943 OPS at this level. 1B Dominic Smith: 3-for-5, 3B (1), 2 R, 2 SB (3), K DH Alex Jackson: 0-for-4, K LF Jose […]
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 […]
