Yankees MILB 6/11: Drew Thorpe Ks 12
News: As a follow-up to yesterday’s note on Oswald Peraza, it appears he is out of action due to illness. He isn’t hurt. He hasn’t been traded. They don’t have him on standby to replace Anthony Volpe. RHP Tanner Myatt was promoted to Scranton, as their pitching staff was depleted during yesterday’s doubleheader. Drafted in the 11th […]

News: OF Brandon Lockridge is now a member of the Scranton Railriders. The 26-year-old (who can play any of the three outfield positions) hit .313/.395/.510 in 114 plate appearances for Somerset, stealing 17 bases in 19 attempts. Don’t be fooled by the fact he has played mostly RF this season. There are kids named Jasson Dominguez and Everson Pereira who […]

News: Nothing to report. Scranton (27-32) (Lost to Norfolk, 8-4) CF Estevan Florial: 0-for-4, BB, 3 K His hitting streak ends at 14, but his on-base streak is up to 27. SS Oswald Peraza: 1-for-4, RBI, BB, 2 K Peraza’s 9th inning RBI single will hopefully get him going again – he has been in a relatively […]

News: Nothing to report. Scranton (27-31) (Lost to Norfolk, 5-3) CF Estevan Florial: 1-for-4, 2B (10), RS, BB, SB (12) Florial now has a 14-game hitting streak and a 26-game on-base streak. 3B Oswald Peraza: 0-for-4, RS, HBP, K, SB (7) Peraza is in a little 3-for-20 slump.

News: The Yankees have selected the contract of OF Billy McKinney to replace Aaron Judge. McKinney, on his second tour with the Yankees organization, was hitting well in Scranton (.274/.388/.511 in 40 games) and should find himself getting some playing time over the next few weeks. “Why McKinney and not Estevan Florial?” I don’t disagree with those who would rather […]

News: The FCL Yankees and the two DSL squads started their seasons on Monday. I will report on them below, but I don’t typically type up full lineups or anything for those games. Scranton (27-30) Their game against Norfolk was postponed due to air quality concerns (due to the fires in Quebec). Somerset (30-21) (Shut […]

News: While not minor league news, the Guardians have designated RHP Zach Plesac for assignment. The question is: Assuming he falls to the Yankees (not guaranteed), is there room for him? The Yankees have Gerrit Cole, Luis Severino, and Nestor Cortes locked into the rotation with Domingo German and Clarke Schmidt at the bottom of the rotation. Factoring in the return of Carlos Rodon (assuming […]

News: The Greg Allen injury opened up the possibility for the Yankees to promote Kole Calhoun before the deadline, but it didn’t happen. Calhoun is officially a free agent. Given that he opted out, there is likely a team out there that has already shown some level of interest in the veteran. The Yankees decided to bring Oswaldo Cabrera right back […]

News: The Yankees made a (very very very very) minor trade today, sending C Jose Godoy to the Orioles for something. That something might be enough to buy a hot dog at Yankee Stadium. Godoy was on the Scranton Development Roster recently. When he did play for Scranton, he appeared in only 11 games, hitting .270/.341/.514 […]

News: UTIL Oswaldo Cabrera was demoted to Scranton after the Yankees-Mariners game last night. Cabrera was a high-energy catalyst last season for the Yankees. He hit .247/.312/.429 (108 OPS+; 111 wRC+) while playing strong defense at multiple positions (including the outfield, where he was a novice). This season, he couldn’t get anything going. Cabrera hit .195/.246/.292 […]
