Yankees MILB 7/27: Jesus Rodriguez Hits Two 3-Run Homers
Notes: In case you missed them, here is my article on the Ryan McMahon transaction and my analysis of the Amed Rosario transaction. OF Spencer Jones missed his third straight game today (back spasms). With tomorrow’s off-day, he will have four days off going into Tuesday. Injury Log Scranton (59-39; 21-5 in second half) (Defeated Rochester, 8-7. […]

Notes: RHP Cade Smith is off the injured list as he pitched for Hudson Valley tonight. Smith was ranked 18th in the recent Pipeline update (again, it wasn’t a full update – but rather a reshuffle for the Trade Deadline). He was drafted in the 6th round in 2023 after spending 2022 and 2023 as the […]

Notes: Pipeline released a new Top 30 list, and Carlos Lagrange has jumped all the way to #2 (behind George Lombard Jr.). He also joined the Top 100.
