Yankees MILB 5/4: Rafael Flores Has a Big Day
Notes: I receive this question often and typically answer it once per year: The Baseball Reference linker has a mind of its own when it comes to linking players with the same name.

Notes: Nothing newsworthy. Injury Log Scranton (12-11) (Lost to Charlotte, 10-3) CF Ismael Munguia: 1-for-4, HR (2), RBI, R, K Munguia hits a lead-off blast. The rest of the night didn’t go their way. 2B Jorbit Vivas: 0-for-3, R, BB, K Vivas was called up to MLB in 2024 and 2025. He has yet to appear in […]
