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 (22-22) (Lost to […]

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 cry […]

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 […]

Yankees MILB 5/18: Rafael Flores Homers Again

Notes: RHP JT Brubaker started his latest rehab stint in Hudson Valley today. Acquired for infield prospect Keiner Delgado in April 2024, Bruaker hasn’t been able to stay healthy. He tossed only 16.2 innings in the Yankees system last year. The difference between Brubaker and Scott Effross and Clayton Beeter is that Brubaker is out of options.  Once the rehab is […]

Yankees MILB 5/17: Roc Riggio Homers Twice

Notes: The rumblings about Jesus Rodriguez are starting. I get it – the Yankees have an issue with offense at third base, and Rodriguez can further help balance the lineup. But is he a third baseman?  The Yankees have tried various positions with him. A natural catcher, he also has experience at 1B/2B (limited)/3B/LF. MLB Pipeline’s write-up […]

Yankees MILB 5/16: Jesus Rodriguez is Scorching

Notes: RHP Clayton Beeter‘s rehab is over. The Yankees have optioned him to Scranton. The Yankees traded LHP Rob Zastryzny to the Brewers for cash considerations. This is a massive win since I no longer need to type that name. The 33-year-old has pitched for several organizations, including MLB stops with the Cubs, Mets, Angels, and Pirates. […]
