Yankees MILB 8/3: Oswald Peraza Homers Again

News: Nothing. Scranton (59-47) (Lost to Louisville, 8-2) CF Jasson Dominguez: 1-for-5, 2B (4), RS, 2 K When the big club plays well, there is less pressure to move Dominguez quickly. Let him get in as many plate appearances as he needs to get back into a groove. By the way, one of Dominguez’s outs was […]

Yankees MILB 8/2: Francisco Vilorio Homers Twice

News: Since the Olympics are front and center, the last few days with the “thrill of victory” (promotions) and the “agony of defeat” (releases). It’s the unfortunate reality of prospect-watching. The releases are RHP Montana Semmel, RHP Nicio Rodriguez, RHP Nick Paciorek, 3B Beau Brewer, and CF Nelson Medina. There are other players down in the FCL/DSL, as […]

Yankees MILB 8/1: Zach Messinger Goes 7 Strong

News: LHP Chasen Shreve was released from his contract for Scranton. Today is August 1st, so the odds are good that he had an opt-out. He pitched in ten games for Scranton, posting a 2.45 ERA in 11 innings. As I pointed out yesterday, RHP Nick Burdi has options. Today, his rehab stint ended and he was […]

Yankees MILB 7/31: Jesus Rodriguez: HR, 4 RBI

News: Brian Cashman said Jack Flaherty‘s medical records didn’t scare the Yankees. Without any evidence to support my theory, I think the Tigers and Yankees had a deal in place (whether the Cardinals were involved, who knows?). The Yankees saw the medicals and tried to amend the terms. The Tigers didn’t like the “secondary” prospects the […]

Yankees MILB 7/30: Spencer Jones Homers, Steals 2 Bases

News: The Yankees released IF Jeter Downs today, allowing him to sign in Japan.  Downs hit .264/.360/.498 (117 wRC+) in 274 plate appearances for Scranton. The Yankees signed Brett Phillips to a minor-league deal. They signed him as a pitcher, which could be fun. Phillips’ best attribute as a position player was his Immaculate Grid game, as he appeared […]

Yankees MILB 7/28: Brandon Lockridge: 3 BB, 3 SB

News: We are nearing August 1st and haven’t seen any “mass promotions” yet. That will likely happen after the deadline. Because we no longer have short-season leagues, promotions come with cuts. It is a harsh reality. While Agustin Ramirez, Jared Serna, and Abrahan Ramirez were in no danger of being cut, Brian Cashman is considering many angles with […]

Yankees MILB 7/27: Josh Grosz Dominates

News: Nothing to report. Just kidding. The Yankees acquired IF/OF Jazz Chisholm Jr. from the Marlins today for three prospects – C/1B Agustin Ramirez, 2B/SS Jared Serna, and IF Abrahan Ramirez. The most significant prospect is Agustin Ramirez, who blossomed into arguably the best Yankees minor league bat over the past two seasons. Between Somerset and Scranton this […]

Yankees MILB 7/26: Agustin Ramirez is Heating Up

News: Infielder Caleb Durbin returned to Somerset yesterday. Infielder Ben Cowles is heading to the injured list for Somerset today. Cowles, who was HBP last night, is having a breakout season while playing three positions (2B/SS/3B). He is hitting .294/.376/.472 (140 wRC+) in 378 PA with 9 home runs, 51 RBI, 52 runs scored, and 14 stolen bases in […]

Yankees MILB 7/25: Roderick Arias: Grand Slam

News: IF Caleb Durbin‘s rehab is already over (one plate appearance!) but it’s semantics. The Yankees moved him to Somerset today to continue rehabbing, though it won’t be labeled that way. Scranton (54-44) (Defeated Worcester, 7-2) 3B Jorbit Vivas: 1-for-3, RBI, RS, 2 HBP Hopefully, this gets him back on track. C Agustin Ramirez: 1-for-5, RBI, RS, […]

Yankees MILB 7/24: Rafael Flores Walks it Off

News: The Yankees are signing their draftees. As always, some required extra money to sign while others required less. You can find a full list in many places. I don’t need to rehash it. New talent is coming to try to break their 18-year World Series drought in 2027. Scranton (53-44) (Split a doubleheader against […]
