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 […]

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, […]

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 […]

News: UTIL Caleb Durbin has started a rehab assignment in Tampa. He hasn’t played since May 23rd, so he missed two months after being HBP. Before that unfortunate injury, he hit .299/.413/.458 in 215 PA with 20 stolen bases in 22 attempts. Is there time for him to make an MLB impact? Sure, but I doubt […]

News: We are closing in on the trade deadline. I will watch closely to see if any prospect gets pulled out of a game over the next week. Today, I noted on Twitter that George Lombard Jr. has played third base and Roderick Arias has played shortstop in all three games since the All-Star Break. Is this […]

News RHP Cody Morris cleared waivers and was outrighted to Scranton. With Josh Maciejewski demoted to Scranton, my guess is that Yoendrys Gomez will get the call. That is a guess, but he is rested and conveniently on the 40-man roster. It appears the Yankees are not ready to promote Scott Effross. Scranton (50-42) (Defeated Buffalo, 8-3, in 11 innings) CF […]

Minor League Reports, Yankees
News The draft was interesting for the Yankees. Everyone assumed the Yankees had an “all pitching” mentality but that doesn’t appear to be the case. I applaud the Yankees for not “reaching” for a position player just because they had already drafted many pitchers. The draft fell in a way where the most valuable thing […]

News RHP JT Brubaker has an oblique injury, which will temporarily shut down his rehab stint. As for where the system is at the midway point, it is a mixed bag that leans slightly towards disappointment. Some of that is due to injuries. Some of it is because we don’t have Drew Thorpe throwing 7 shutout innings […]

News: If you are wondering about the whereabouts of CF Spencer Jones and LHP Brock Selvidge, don’t worry. They were in Texas for this afternoon’s Futures Game. Jones went 0-for-1 with a walk, stolen base, and a run scored. Selvidge didn’t appear in the game. Scranton (48-42) (Lost to Syracuse, 7-4) CF Brandon Lockridge: 1-for-4, 2B […]

News: 2B/3B Jorbit Vivas was promoted to the Yankees today as 1B/3B J.D. Davis went on the injured list. How much will Vivas be used? Who knows? Because Davis’ IL stint is retroactive, he will be eligible to return right after the All-Star Break. Vivas may only be here for three games. However, if he isn’t […]
