Yankees MILB 4/10: Jackson Castillo: 2 Doubles, 6 RBI

Notes: RHP McKinley Moore and OF Christopher Familia have been moved to the organization’s Development List. The Development List was introduced in 2021, and its purpose is what you think it is. If a player has something to work on, and the organization wants them to do so outside of game competition, the Development List is there for […]

Yankees MILB 4/6: Bryce Cunningham Impresses in Debut

Notes: Nothing to report Scranton (5-4) (Doubled Up Syracuse, 8-4) CF Ismael Munguia: 2-for-5, 2 R, SB (2) Munguia’s solid start continues (11-for-35 (.314/.400/.371)). RF Everson Pereira: 2-for-4, HR (1), 2 RBI, 2 R, BB, K Do the Yankees feel that Pereira can be the right-handed bat they seek? I have no idea. 1B T.J. Rumfield: 0-for-4, R, […]

Yankees MILB 4/5: Spencer Jones Singles, Doubles

Notes: Nothing to report Scranton (4-4) (Lost to Syracuse, 7-4) 1B Dominic Smith: 0-for-4, K LF Everson Pereira: 1-for-4, K 7-for-25 with four RBI. He is looking for his first extra-base hit. Given that extra-base power is his “thing,” I am not worried. 2B Jorbit Vivas: 1-for-4 DH T.J. Rumfield: 1-for-3, HR (3), RBI, R,  BB .303/.395/.636 in […]

Yankees MILB 4/4: Griffin Herring Dazzles in Debut

Notes: The Yankees have signed C/OF Cooper Hummel to a minor league deal after he elected free agency yesterday. The Astros outrighted him off their 40-man roster, and he had the right to declare free agency. While listed as a C/OF, Hummell hasn’t caught at any level since 2023 (96 innings). Offensively, the 30-year-old hasn’t done […]

Yankees MILB 4/3: Braden Shewmake Homers

Notes: RHP Jake Woodford, whom the Yankees signed on March 28th, has been assigned to Scranton. To make room, LHP Edgar Barclay was sent down to Somerset. Woodford is a 28-year-old who pitched in 89 games (25 starts) for the Cardinals between 2020 and 2024. He compiled a 10-13 record with a 4.88 ERA (4.94 FIP; […]

Yankees MILB 4/2: Ismael Munguia Extends Hitting Streak

Notes: I have nothing to offer. Scranton (2-3) (Lost to Syracuse, 5-1, in a sleepy afternoon affair) CF Ismael Munguia: 1-for-3, BB He has started the season on a 5-game hitting streak. DH Everson Pereira: 1-for-4, 2 K 3B Jorbit Vivas: 1-for-4, RBI Vivas committed two errors, which doesn’t inspire confidence that he can play 3B. 1B T.J. […]

Yankees MILB 4/1/25: Ismael Munguia Stays Hot

Notes: Yesterday, the Yankees re-signed Dominic Smith to a minor league deal. The 29-year-old first baseman went 11-for-37 with three homers and 12 RBI in spring training. He should get some 1B/DH at-bats for Scranton. Scranton (2-2) (Defeated Syracuse, 6-2) CF Ismael Munguia: 3-for-4, RBI, RS, BB Munguia’s hot start continues (8-for-17, 2 doubles, 2 RBI, 3 […]

Yankees MILB 3/30: Jorbit Vivas: 3 Hits, 3 RBI

Notes: I wasn’t around last night to report on it, but T.J. Rumfield hit the organization’s first home run of 2025. Scranton (1-2) (Crushed Lehigh Valley, 14-3) LF Everson Pereira: 1-for-4, 2 RBI, BB, K Pereira is 4-for-11 with three RBI to start his campaign.   PR-LF Duke Ellis: 1-for-1, RBI, R The Yankees continue to take it […]
