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 […]
Yankees MILB 4/23: Carlos Lagrange Ks 8
Notes: LHP Brent Headrick, who pitched well for the Yankees earlier this year, was placed on the 7-day injured list for Scranton. RHP Mason Vinyard was promoted to Scranton. The 25-year-old Vinyard has 76 games of minor league experience, pitching to a 3.08 ERA in 114 IP with a 146/60 K/BB. Infielder Jake Gatewood was also promoted to […]
Yankees MILB 4/22: Brendan Beck is Cruising
Notes: Yoendrys Gomez being designated for assignment surprised me. I thought that Ryan Yarbrough would be the first long reliever on the chopping block, but that wasn’t the case. Can Gomez get through waivers? I have learned through the years that I am terrible at perceived value. I see a talented kid. Others may see damaged goods. Furtherm
Yankees MILB 4/20: Spencer Jones Homers
Notes: RHP Zach Greene, who was on the Development List, is no longer with the organization. The 28-year-old Greene was drafted by the Yankees in the 8th round in the 2019 draft (South Alabama). In December 2022, the Mets selected Greene in the Rule 5 draft. However, he was returned to the Yankees before the […]
Yankees MILB 4/19: Bryce Cunningham Dominates
Notes: No news. I have started a minor league injury log (below) Injury Log The Baseball Reference links stopped functioning at some point tonight, so some players don’t have their links (for now). You’ll live. Scranton (11-8) (No-hit by Durham, 4-0) 3B Jorbit Vivas: 0-for-4 His 6-game hitting streak is snapped. His K% is down to [&hell
Yankees MILB 4/18: Roderick Arias Hits a Slam
Notes: I don’t typically write much about releases, as they happen often (especially in the lower minors and DSL), but I saw today that the Yankees released RHP Kristofer Bow, their 14th-round pick in 2022. Bow didn’t lack talent, but control is an issue. Last season, for Tampa, he went 3-2 with a pair of saves […]
Yankees MILB 4/17: Spencer Jones Homers Twice (Again)
Notes: The catching carousel continues. Today, Somerset activated 20-year-old Diomedes Hernandez from the Development List. He played first base in tonight’s game but is also a catcher. Scranton placed IF Braden Shewmake on the injured list. IF Max Burt was promoted to Scranton to take his place. Shewmake is likely the most random player on t
Yankees MILB 4/16: Ben Hess Ks 9 (Again)
Notes: A few days after activating Edinson Duran, Scranton placed the catcher on the Development List. This leaves them with Jesus Rodriguez and Ronaldo Hernandez as active catchers. OF Grant Richardson was promoted to Scranton, while Somerset activated OF Christopher Familia off the Development List. Familia was a sensation in 2023, hitting .307/.
Yankees MILB 4/15: George Lombard Jr.: HR, 3 RBI, 2 BB, 2 SB
Notes: C Alex Jackson and C/OF Cooper Hummel are on the Triple-A injured list. That explains why C Jesus Rodriguez was promoted to Scranton. Additionally, the Railriders activated catcher Edinson Duran. Duran (22) played in 24 games in Low-A Tampa last year, hitting .218/.307/.346 with four doubles and three triples. This won’t be his first t
