Yankees MILB 4/16: Enmanuel Tejeda: 3 Hits, 2 SB

News:

LHP Josh Maciejewski cleared waivers and was outrighted back to Scranton. I believe the rule is that teams get one chance to outright you after you clear waivers. After that, a player can elect free agency if they get through waivers a second time.

Scranton (10-5) (Lost to Lehigh Valley, 7-1)

CF Brandon Lockridge:  0-for-5, K
2B-SS Caleb Durbin0-for-4, RS, BB, K
1B T.J. Rumfield1-for-3, BB, K
Triple-A debut for Rumfield. He was 9-for-28 with a double, six walks, and four strikeouts for Somerset. While he didn’t hit for average in Somerset last season (.219), he had a power surge (17 HR in 82 games). So far this season, the power hasn’t shown up but the average is there.
C-3B Carlos Narvaez2-for-3, BB
Last four games: 6-for-16 with two doubles and a homer.

RHP Alex Mauricio2.1 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 3 K
6.2 IP, 7 H, 3 R, 3 ER, 1 HR, 0 BB, 11 K. One has to love the number of walks! He touched 95.1 MPH with his 4-seamer tonight.
RHP McKinley Moore0.2 IP, 0 H, 1 R, 1 ER, 4 BB, 1 K
Moore throws very hard (topped out at 99.7, averaged 97.7). The problem? Control. He has 90 walks in 133.2 minor league innings (200 strikeouts). The Yankees claimed him off waivers from the Phillies over the winter (he made his big league debut last year). One of those arms you hope you can unlock.
RHP Phil Bickford1.1 IP, 1 H, 1 R, 1 ER, 0 BB, 1 K

Somerset (4-6) (Lost to Hartford, 5-1)

CF Spencer Jones0-for-3, BB, 2 K
The results don’t matter yet – the good news is that he is back on the field.
C Agustin Ramirez0-for-3, BB, 2 K
Did you expect him to keep up with his 95 HR pace?
DH Ben Rice: 0-for-4, K
He is down to .179 (7-for-39) with four walks and 12 strikeouts. He had an 18.7% K rate last season. Thus far this year, it is 27.9%. He’ll likely snap out of it soon enough…
LF Elijah Dunham1-for-4, 3B (1), RS, K
3B J.C. Escarra: 3-for-4, 2B (3), RBI, K

His average falls to an unacceptable .412.

LHP Brock Selvidge: (L, 0-1) 5 IP, 5 H, 4 R, 2 ER, 1 BB, 6 K
It’s a better effort this time around. Selvidge’s error contributed to the unearned runs.
RHP Luis Velasquez2.1 IP, 1 H, 1 R, 1 ER, 2 BB, 4 K
RHP Tanner Myatt1.2 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 3 K

RHP Baron Stuart5.1 IP, 2 H, 1 R, 1 ER, 2 BB, 3 K
Stuart’s 2024 debut. In 2023, he pitched to a 4.47 ERA between here and Tampa with an 85/46 K/BB over 100.2 IP. He was signed as an undrafted free agent out of Pittsburgh.
LHP Ben Shields: 2.2 IP, 1 H, 1 R, 1 ER, 1 HR, 0 BB, 4 K

Tampa (2-8) (Lost to St. Lucie, 11-3. Tampa isn’t having a perfect start to 2024. They have scored 32 runs and allowed 71 runs. It’s a young roster that you hope improves as the season moves along)

SS George Lombard Jr.: 1-for-5, RS, 3 K
Lombard Jr. has reached base safely in ten straight games to start the season.
DH Enmanuel Tejeda: 3-for-5, RBI, RS, 2 SB (7), K

RHP Art Warren1 IP, 2 H, 1 R, 1 ER, 0 BB, 2 K
Warren’s first action since 2022. The 31-year-old has 71 games of big league experience, pitching to a 4.19 ERA in 62.1 innings for the Mariners and Reds between 2019-2022. He is a sinker/slider/changeup type.

Yankees MILB 9/22: Edgar Barclay Ks 8

News:

The Yankees have promoted RHP Yoendrys Gomez from Somerset to the big league roster. He is the first player to ever be promoted directly from Somerset to the big leagues. Keep in mind that Somerset didn’t become an MLB affiliate until 2021.

Gomez, who has been on the 40-man roster since 2020, has dealt with injuries in his career. He has logged only 275 innings since his debut season (2017), and this year’s 65.1 innings are his personal best.  In those innings, he has a 3.58 ERA (3.83 FIP) with a 28.5% K and 13.5% BB.

According to Fangraphs, this is Gomez’s last option year. That said, we thought 2022 was Deivi Garcia‘s last option year – only to discover that MLB granted the Yankees an additional option for 2023. That isn’t done out of the goodness of their hearts – criteria need to be met and all that jazz.

If it is his final year, a big winter/spring is coming up. Let’s get this out of the way: Gomez is not going to be in the 2024 Opening Day rotation. Cross that thought out of your mind – if he isn’t traded, his best bet to make the squad in 2024 would be out of the bullpen. He has the stuff that would carry well in the bullpen. There are questions about whether he can handle a starter’s workload anyway.

The AFL rosters were announced today. The Yankees will be playing for Mesa but you aren’t going to see any of their top names playing. It is good to see that RHP Trystan Vrieling (#17 prospect according to Pipeline) will get some work in. He was drafted in 2022 but was unable to make his debut in 2023 due to injury.. The other players on the list aren’t going to jump out at you, though IF Caleb Durbin had a standout 2023 season that was marred by an injury. RHP Kevin Stevens got his feet wet in 2022 but didn’t appear in 2023. He was an undrafted free agent signing. UTIL Ben Cowles played mostly at Hudson Valley in 2023, promoted to Scranton after the Renegades were eliminated. While there isn’t much buzz around RHP Nolberto Henriquez, I checked out Savant after he was promoted to Tampa. He was throwing hard sinkers, which is something the current Yankees’ regime seems to like. It doesn’t shock me that they want to give him more innings after he tossed only 30.2 in 2023 with mixed results. OF Nelson Medina dealt with injuries for most of the season. He is getting some extra at-bats in Scranton as their season comes to a close – perhaps the promotions to Scranton should have hinted to us who was going to Arizona. It doesn’t seem like a coincidence that Cowles and Medina were promoted and are now on their way to Arizona. RHP Baron Stuart was signed as an undrafted free agent out of Pitt. Unlike others on the list, he threw a good number of innings (100.2) in his debut professional season. I guess it is a good sign for him that they want him to throw more before he shuts down for the year.

Scranton (71-75; 37-35 in the second half) (Lost to Syracuse, 4-3, in ten innings). As for the last two games of the season, the weather up in Syracuse is actually not forecasted to be bad this weekend. There could be some rain on Sunday evening/night, but hopefully, it stays away during the afternoon.

C Carlos Narvaez0-for-4, BB, K
RF Franchy Cordero1-for-5, RS, K
3B Jamie Westbrook2-for-4, 2B (20), BB, 2 K
The minor league veteran reaches 20 doubles/20 home runs for the first time in his career.
DH Andres Chaparro1-for-5, 2B (24), RBI, 3 K
Chaparro is up to 88 RBI. The last Yankees’ prospect to reach 90 RBI was Peter O’Brien, who drove home 96 runs back in 2013. O’Brien would eventually play in 72 MLB games (most recently with the Marlins in 2019), hitting .209/.275/.434 with 11 home runs in 200 plate appearances.
1B Mike Lamb1-for-4, RS
SS Jesus Bastidas1-for-3, HR (12), 2 RBI, RS, BB, K
Bastidas’ 2023 numbers are pretty much right in line with his 2022 numbers. Between here and Somerset, he has 15 homers, 44 RBI, 64 runs, 40 walks, and 105 strikeouts in 445 plate appearances, Last year, playing only for Somerset, he hit .240/.323/.427 in 453 plate appearances (18 HR, 55 RBI, 56 R, 38 BB, 115 K, 11-for-18 SB)
LF Aaron Palensky0-for-4, 2 K
  LF Ben Cowles: 0-for-0
I think Cowles was brought into the game in the 10th inning to give Scranton an extra infielder when the winning run was on third with nobody out.
2B Wilmer Difo0-for-4, 2 K
CF Nelson Medina2-for-4
Medina is 5-for-36 since his promotion. He started off 0-for-19, so it is nice to see him get some hits before the season comes to a close.

LHP Edgar Barclay: 5.1 IP, 5 H, 2 R, 2 ER, 4 BB, 8 K
A solid final effort for Barclay, who is pitching to a 5.89 ERA in 44.1 IP since his promotion to Scranton. Prior to that, he compiled a 1.32 ERA in 34 IP for Somerset. All of his games (11) were relief appearances for Somerset, while his ten appearances for Scranton are all starts. He doesn’t throw hard (max fastball was 90.7 tonight, and he averaged 88.7), but he has solid secondary offerings that allow him to be a tantalizing MLB prospect. I don’t expect him to be a starter, but there is no harm in developing him as a Swiss-army knife type of pitcher. 
LHP Matt Krook: 1.2 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 1 K
LHP Josh Maciejewski1.2 IP, 2 H, 1 R, 0 ER, 2 BB, 1 K
RHP Michael Gomez: (L, 2-6)  1 IP, 1 H, 1 R, 0 ER, 1 BB, 1 K

They lost to Binghamton in the semi-finals. Their season is over.

Hudson Valley (70-62; 31-35 in the second half) 

They lost to Greenville in the championship series. Their season is over.

Tampa (61-69; 30-34 in the second half)

FCL Yankees (35-22; 1-2 in the playoffs)

They lost to the Braves in the championship series. Their season is over.

DSL Yankees (33-19)

Their season is over. They missed the playoffs by a half-game.

News:

Nothing new.

Scranton (58-60; 24-20 in the second half) (Destroyed Lehigh Valley, 14-1)

This is a big series against Lehigh Valley, the team they are chasing for the second-half title. It is a logjam, however, as four teams are between Lehigh Valley and Scranton in the standings.

LF Estevan Florial: 1-for-4, 2B (17), 3 RBI, RS, 2 BB, 2 K
Florial is at .291 with 17 doubles, 4 triples, 23 HR, 62 RBI, and 66 runs scored.

LHP Josh Maciejewski: (W, 3-0) 1.2 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 1 K

RHP Zac Houston: 2 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 3 K
RHP Aaron McGarity1 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 0 K

Somerset (68-46; 26-20 in the second half) (Walked it off against Hartford, 4-1, in ten innings)

2B Caleb Durbin1-for-4
  2B Eduardo Torrealba0-for-1
C Ben Rice: 2-for-4, HR (10), 4 RBI, RS
Walk-off grand slam! Rice is hitting .324 since his promotion with ten home runs and 33 RBI in 27 games. Overall, Rice has 14 homers and 53 RBI in 52 games. His bat has been off-the-charts awesome this year. I can only imagine where he would be if he didn’t have a long-term injury.

Since promotion: 4.37 ERA (59.2 IP, 54 H, 33 R, 29 ER, 8 HR, 21 BB, 68 K). Overall, Hampton has a 145/37 K/BB in 106.2 innings.
RHP Tanner Myatt2 IP, 2 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 1 K
RHP Jack Neely: (W, 1-1)  3 IP, 1 H, 1 R, 0 BB, 4 K
Forget about that run, as it was the ghost runner. Since promotion: 2.53 ERA (10.2 IP, 7 H, 3 R, 3 ER, 2 BB, 13 K). Overall, Neely owns an 87/19 K/BB over 59.1 innings.

Hudson Valley (63-52; 24-25 in the second half) (Lost to Aberdeen, 3-1)

CF Spencer Jones1-for-4, RBI
.268/.339/.454 in 451 PA (28 doubles, 4 triples, 13 HR, 56 RBI, 61 R, 42 BB (9.3%), 131 K (29.0%), 35-for-43 SB). I am being truthful when I say I didn’t expect him to do much more than this. I think his season has been a successful one.
RF Anthony Hall0-for-4, 2 K
Hall is 9-for-45 (.200) since his promotion.
2B Jared Serna1-for-4
Serna is 13-for-49 (.265) since his promotion with three doubles, four walks, and only seven strikeouts (12.7%).

C Antonio Gomez0-for-3
3B Ben Cowles0-for-2, BB, K

RHP Baron Stuart: (L, 2-2) 6 IP, 1 H, 1 R, 1 ER, 4 BB, 6 K
This is a hard-luck loss. At this level: 3.52 ERA (23 IP, 18 H, 9 R, 9 ER, 2 HR, 13 BB, 15 K)
RHP Mason Vinyard1 IP, 3 H, 2 R, 2 ER, 1 BB, 1 K
RHP Shane Gray2 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 3 K

Tampa (55-60; 24-25 in the second half) (Lost to Palm Beach, 8-4)

SS Roc Riggio1-for-4, 2 RS, BB
8-for-37 with 16 walks (nice) and 14 strikeouts. He has eight runs scored.
1B Kiko Romero2-for-5, 2B (3), RS, 2 K
13-for-61 with three doubles and 13 walks. 
C Omar Martinez2-for-4, 2B (16), 2 RBI, RS, BB
.264/.376/.475 in 388 PA with 17 homers and 66 RBI. We’ll see if they give him some High-A time.
DH Josh Moylan3-for-5, RBI
.292/.407/.354 in 59 PA. This is his first career 3-hit game.
CF Cole Gabrielson1-for-5, RBI, 3 K
LF Tayler Aguilar0-for-3, BB, K
RF Garrett Martin0-for-3, BB, 2 K
3B Jose Colmenares0-for-4, K
2B Beau Brewer2-for-4
Brewer has a 6-game hitting streak and is 18-for-43 (.419) in August.

RHP Cam Schlittler: (L, 0-1)  4 IP, 6 H, 6 R, 5 ER, HR, 0 BB, 7 K
A mixed bag, but when you are dealing with a young pitcher in his debut season, it is important to see the positives. In this case, 7 strikeouts and no walks in four innings is a positive!
RHP Matt Keating2 IP, 2 H, 1 R, 1 ER, 1 BB, 5 K
3.47 ERA (57 IP, 54 H, 28 R, 22 ER, 5 HR, 30 BB, 83 K). He is certainly getting a lot of work in this season.
LHP Geoffrey Gilbert1 IP, 1 H, 1 R, 1 ER, 2 BB, 2 K
RHP Osiel Rodriguez2 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 2 K
Since promotion: 13.1 IP, 8 H, 8 R, 8 ER, 2 HR, 12 BB, 18 K. He allowed four of those runs (without recording an out) in one of his outings.

FCL Yankees (35-22) (Lost the season finale to the Tigers, 7-6. They are in the playoffs, which start on Thursday and continue into the weekend. If anyone is going to be promoted, it would happen next week)

SS Keiner Delgado1-for-4, RS, BB, K
.293/.414/.485 in 239 PA with eight home runs and 36 stolen bases. Last year, in the DSL, he hit .310/.504/.506 in 238 PA with three home runs and 34 stolen bases. You can’t complain about either season and I hope they give him a taste of Low-A to close out the season.
DH George Lombard Jr.: 1-for-4, RBI, RS, BB, K, SB (3)
Lombard (5-for-12, 5 BB, 2 K) hit safely in all four of his games.
LF Jackson Castillo1-for-3, 2 RS, 2 BB, K, SB (1)
Castillo’s first career SB. He is 8-for-29 (11 walks, 10 strikeouts) in nine games
1B Dylan Jasso3-for-5, 4 RBI
.377/.486/.574 (23-for-61, 7 doubles, 1 HR, 20 RBI, 15 R, 11 BB, 5 K). The 20-year-old definitely earned a chance to move up to Tampa.
RF John Cruz1-for-5, K, CS (4)
.294/.376/.531 in 202 PA (6 doubles, 3 triples, 10 HR, 47 RBI, 28 R, 22 BB, 44 K, 9-for-13 SB). Cruz is only 17 (18 on 8/29) so I don’t know if they will move him to Tampa.
3B Enmanuel Tejeda3-for-4, RBI, BB, SB (24)
.307/.465/.458 in 217 PA (4 doubles, 3 triples, 5 HR, 30 RBI, 37 R, 44 BB, 44 K, 24-for-30 SB). While Delgado is 19, Tejeda is 18. I have no problem moving any prospect up to Tampa if they have earned it, regardless of age.
3B Hans Montero0-for-5, 2 K, SB (17)
.257/.419/.404 in 234 PA (6 doubles, 3 triples, 5 HR, 23 RBI, 41 R, 44 BB, 48 K, 17-for-18 SB). The bonus baby from a few years ago started hot in 2023 but cooled off. The overall stat line is solid and encouraging, however.
CF Wilson Rodriguez0-for-2, RS, BB, 2 K
.220/.360/.439 (9-for-41, 3 doubles, 2 HR, 11 RBI, 5 R, 8 BB, 13 K). The left-handed bat is 18, drafted in the 17th round in this year’s draft. There is no chance they are sending him to Tampa – this season was all about getting his feet wet.
C Peter Serruto0-for-2
The Yankees signed the 23-year-old Indiana graduate (he also went to Rutgers) on August 2nd. This is his debut.
  PH-C Diomedes Hernandez0-for-0, RS, 2 BB
The 18-year-old didn’t play much in 2023 (3 games; 1-for-5). 

LHP Edwar Polimir (L, 4-1): 1.1 IP, 4 H, 5 R, 5 ER, 2 BB, 0 K, HR
RHP Yoljeldriz Diaz1.1 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 3 BB, 3 K
10.1 IP, 5 H, 1 R, 1 ER, 6 BB, 17 K. Diaz is 22 and has been in the system since 2019. That said, he has barely pitched (this was only his 26th career game)
LHP Pablo Mujica1.2 IP, 3 H, 2 R, 1 ER, 2 BB, 1 K
RHP Sebastian Keane2 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 2 BB, 1 K
1.71 ERA (26.1 IP, 11 H, 7 R, 5 ER, 1 HR, 16 BB, 35 K). The 22-year-old predictably pitched well here and should make his way to Tampa.
LHP Miguel Pozo1.2 IP, 2 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 2 K

DSL Yankees (33-19)

Their game against Mets Orange was canceled due to a tropical storm. The game won’t be made up, and their season is over. They missed out on the division title by 0.5 games and a wild-card spot by one game in the loss column.

DSL Bombers (27-26)

Their game against the DSL Marlins was canceled due to a tropical storm. The game won’t be made up, and their season is over.

Cabrera is 6-for-18 with a pair of homers in his last four games.
SS Oswald Peraza1-for-4, RS, BB, K

It is nice to see Wells reach base four times. It is the first time this season he has drawn three walks (not that it is an easy feat)

.195/.294/.372 in 269 PA. He has homered in back-to-back games. Richardson has a .241 BABIP and can take some walks – but the hit tool has been inconsistent overall.
3B Marcos Cabrera1-for-4, K

RHP Baron Stuart: (W, 1-0) 6 IP, 4 H, 0 R, 0 ER, 2 BB, 5 K
Stuart, signed as an undrafted free agent in 2022, is impressive in his High-A debut.

DH Anthony Hall1-for-4, 2B (10), RS, 2 K
1B Josh Moylan0-for-4, RBI, 3 K
Professional debut for the undrafted Moylan. He is a 21-year-old 6’4″ left-handed bat out of East Carolina who hit .302/.412/.587 with 15 HR and 70 RBI for the Pirates this past season. The 70 RBI topped the American Athletic Conference. The Yankees signed him for a bonus of $150,000, which is $25,000 more than you can sign a player for without penalty (in this case, the $25,000 simply went against their bonus pool). In other words, this isn’t your typical undrafted free agent – there was some demand for his services.
3B Kiko Romero2-for-4, RBI
A solid Low-A debut for this year’s 7th-round pick out of Arizona.

Yankees MILB 7/20: Everson Pereira Goes Boom!

News:

Both Jake Bauers (Scranton) and Willie Calhoun (Somerset) started their rehab assignments, meaning the Yankees have three mediocre left fielders (along with Greg Allen) who are nearing their return. Yay us!

RHP Matt Bowman opted out of his minor league contract the other day. Today, the Yankees signed him to a major league contract and optioned him to Scranton. To make room for Bowman on the 40-man roster, 3B Josh Donaldson was transferred to the 60-day injured list, effectively ending his season.

Scranton (43-47; 9-6 in the second half) (Lost a marathon to Worcester, 10-8)

LF Jake Bauers: 2-for-3, 2B (6), HR (10), 2 RBI, 2 RS, BB, SB (6)
Welcome back!
   LF Michael Hermosillo0-for-0, SF, RBI

Pereira has hit safely in all ten games since his promotion (.372 (16-for-43; 3 doubles, 2 HR, 11 RBI, 11 R)). Overall, he has 12 home runs and 42 RBI in 56 games between Somerset and Scranton.

  PR-DH Aaron Palensky0-for-1, RS
CF Jasson Dominguez1-for-5, RBI, RS, 2 K
C Austin Wells0-for-4, HBP, K
His July struggles continue. My question is: Would Wells’ offense be better if they told him to not worry about catching anymore? That’s not an excuse for a slump – that is me saying that it isn’t easy to put in all the work behind the plate while maintaining what you can do at the plate. 
3B Tyler Hardman: 3-for-5, 2 HR (22), 4 RBI, 2 RS, K
Hardman, who has four multi-HR games this season, is your new organizational HR leader, taking the spot away from Estevan Florial. He is hitting .227 with 9 doubles, 2 triples, 22 HR, 45 RBI, and 46 runs scored. 
RF Elijah Dunham1-for-5, HR (2), RBI, RS, K

RHP Chase Hampton: 7 IP, 9 H, 4 R, 4 ER, 0 BB, 7 K, 3 HR
A bit of a mixed bag by Hampton, who allowed a pair of home runs during a tough 6th inning. Since his promotion: 4.15 ERA (34.2 IP, 31 H, 17 R, 16 ER, 5 HR, 9 BB, 40 K). Overall, he now has 117 strikeouts in 81.2 innings.
LHP Ryan Anderson1 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 1 K

Since promotion: 1.47 ERA (18.1 IP, 8 H, 3 R, 3 ER, 2 HR, 7 BB, 19 K). In his first seven innings at this level, he struck out only three hitters. He has 16 K in 11.1 IP since.

Hudson Valley (49-37; 10-10 in the second half) (Defeated Brooklyn, 6-4)

Jones is now 12-for-38 in July with nine walks. 
SS Alexander Vargas0-for-4, K

Since his promotion: .426 in 15 games (10 doubles, 3 HR, 11 RBI, 9 R, 3 BB, 8 K). He is on an 8-game hitting streak (14-for-31). Overall, he is hitting .290/.401/.482 in 297 PA (17 doubles, 10 HR, 46 RBI, 44 R, 46 BB, 49 K). Is he the organization’s top catching prospect? I guess that depends on what you think of Austin Wells, but Ramirez must be in the conversation.

Bow needed a clean outing. Last year’s 14th-round pick has struggled with the move to Tampa.

Game 1 (Won, 2-1)

2B Keiner Delgado: 1-for-3, 3B (1), RBI, RS, BB, K
.280/.397/.508 in 141 PA. If you loved Delgado after 2022, you should still love him now. One thing to watch: He owned a 50.5% ground ball rate entering today (it was 28.8% in 2022)

RHP Eric Reyzelman (W, 1-0): 1.2 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 3 K
2023 debut for the 5th-round pick in the 2022 draft out of LSU (he tossed four innings at this level in 2022). He supposedly can get it up to 100 MPH – and that was before entering the Yankees Pitching Factory.
RHP Jordy Luciano (S, 1): 1.2 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 3 K
His first career save. Congrats!

Game 2 (Won, 9-4)

DH Roderick Arias1-for-4, RBI, RS, 2 K, SB (17)
Arias only went 1-for-6 today, but it was still a productive afternoon. He is hitting .267/.423/.505 in 130 PA (2 doubles, 2 triples, 6 HR, 26 RBI, 32 R, 27 BB (20.8%), 29 K (22.3%), 17-for-23 SB)
SS Hans Montero0-for-3, RS, HBP
.294/.478/.500 in 138 PA. In 140 PA down in the DSL last year, he hit only .180/.345/.261. Something has clicked.
CF Willy Montero3-for-4, 2B (7), 2 RBI, RS, SB (2), CS (3)
.318/.374/.455 in 123 PA. He didn’t fare well in his 2021 debut season but started earning a little buzz in 2022. This year, he is building off that.

RHP Cam Schlittler3.2 IP, 3 H, 0 R, 3 BB, 4 K
2.89 ERA (18.2 IP, 16 H, 9 R, 6 ER, 1 HR, 11 BB, 22 K
RHP Hueston Morrill (W, 1-0): 1.1 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 2 K
This is the 22-year-old’s professional debut. He was signed as an undrafted free agent out of Oklahoma State in June 2022.

DSL Yankees (20-10) (Knocked off Mets Blue, 7-6)

DH Brando Mayea2-for-4, RS, BB, K, SB (14)
Mayea’s .267/.396/.387 triple slash has to be considered a success in his debut season. Entering today, he had a 60% ground ball rate – which he has plenty of time to grow out of.

Meran homers in his second career game.

The fact that the 17-year-old speedster is flashing some early pop can make one very excited.

Yankees MILB 7/9: Drew Thorpe is Cruising

News:

Just like their MLB counterparts, the minor leagues will be taking Monday – Thursday off. The only exception is the DSL – poor kids.

Tonight is the MLB draft. Who do I think the Yankees will select?  I couldn’t tell you who most of the prospects are. If they don’t end up with Dave Parrish 2.0, that will be a good start.

Scranton (41-43; 7-3 in the second half. They will need to win the second half in order to make it to the playoffs)

Their game against Lehigh Valley was postponed, so they will get an early start to their vacation. Here are some notes:

Estevan Florial.294/.389/.596 (138 wRC+; 14% BB, 28.7% K) – His 21 home runs are good for second in the International League (Luken Baker (STL) has 22).

Oswald Peraza.267/.354/.506 (111 wRC+; 8.7% BB, 17.5% K) – The numbers may not scream at you (the International League is an offensive league), but Peraza seriously has nothing to prove here.

Everson Pereira: 9-for-17 (.529) with a home run and seven runs batted in since his promotion. Can a hot July get him to the Bronx in early August? The organization needs a left fielder and could determine that Pereira can do just as much as a trade option. We have a few weeks to figure all that out.

Andres Chaparro.242/.334/.464 (93 wRC+; 11.7% BB, 20.9% K) – He leads the organization with 60 runs batted in. The fact that a .798 OPS is good for only a 93 wRC+ emphasizes how offensive this league is. Brent Rooker (Oakland) has a .797 OPS in MLB and his wRC+ is 125.

Ben Rortvedt.298/.416/.543 (141 wRC+; 14.2% BB, 23% K) – He just has to stay healthy.

Carlos Narvaez.271/.416/.441 (121 wRC+; 18.1% BB, 20.8% K) – Don’t be surprised if you see his name come up in trade talks in the next few weeks. No, he cannot headline a trade. However, he is an upper-level catcher who is having success with the bat. That has value.

Somerset (47-32; 5-6 in the second half) (The game against Reading was suspended in the bottom of the 9th with the score tied at 4-4. They will finish it on August 15th)

SS Trey Sweeney1-for-4, RS
LF Jasson Dominguez0-for-4, K
C Austin Wells1-for-3, 2B (14)
Don’t worry about why Wells was pulled – he was ejected from the game. Anyway, he is now up to 107 Double-A games over the last two seasons. In those games (482 PA), he is hitting .255 with 22 doubles, 1 triple, 23 homers, 91 RBI, 61 R, 57 BB (11.8%), and 112 K (23.2%). He is also 11-for-11 SB. 
   C Mickey Gasper0-for-1
3B Tyler Hardman0-for-3, BB, 2 K
1B T.J. Rumfield: 0-for-3, HBP
CF Elijah Dunham3-for-4, HR (1), RBI, RS, K
This is a welcome sight for Dunham. He had four 3-hit efforts for Scranton this year, though two of them came in April. Hopefully, he gets a nice confidence boost and gets back up there quickly.
RF Aaron Palensky0-for-4, K
Palensky is down to .202 since his promotion (17-for-84; 5 doubles, 4 HR, 11 RBI, 20 R, 21 BB, 21 K, 7-for-8 SB). The walks have kept him afloat at this level after his .352/.434/.744 insanity with Hudson Valley.
DH Josh Breaux2-for-4, RS
2B Matt Pita1-for-3, HR (1), 2 RBI, RS, K
Pita also hit a pair of home runs down in Tampa during his rehab stint.

RHP Richard Fitts: 6 IP, 3 H, 1 R, 1 ER, 1 BB, 4 K
3.63 ERA (89.1 IP, 82 H, 37 R, 36 ER, 13 HR, 21 BB, 96 K). His last 9 starts: 2.09 ERA (56 IP, 44 H, 14 R, 13 ER, 11 BB, 60 K)
RHP Jesus Liranzo1 IP, 4 H, 3 R, 3 ER, 1 BB, 1 K
LHP Lisandro Santos: 2 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 2 K

Hudson Valley (47-34; 8-7 in the second half) (Shut out Jersey Shore, 2-0. The Renegades already clinched a playoff berth with their first-half title)

2B Ben Cowles1-for-4, 2B (11), RS, K
Cowles has doubled in three straight games and 9-for-27 (.333) in July.
SS Alexander Vargas0-for-4, K
Vargas, who got off to a very encouraging start, enters the break at .215/.264/.348 in 277 PA (10 doubles, 3 triples, 6 HR, 33 RBI, 33 R, 10-for-15 SB)
C Agustin Ramirez1-for-4, 2B (5), RBI, K
Since promotion: 14-for-38 (.368; 5 doubles, 2 HR, 7 RBI, 2 BB, 5 K)
DH Christopher Familia0-for-4, 4 K
Since promotion: 8-for-40 (.200; 2 doubles, 1 HR, 5 RBI, 7 R, 1 BB, 16 K). The Yankees needed to challenge him and he certainly is being challenged.
1B Spencer Henson0-for-3, 2 K
RF Anthony Garcia1-for-3, HR (4), RBI, RS, 2 K
.197/.301/.322 in 176 PA. 
LF Aldenis Sanchez1-for-3, K
Sanchez is now the proud owner of a 9-game hitting streak.
3B Marcos Cabrera0-for-3, 2 K
CF Grant Richardson0-for-3

RHP Drew Thorpe: (W, 8-1) 7 IP, 3 H, 0 R, 3 BB, 7 K
Thorpe has allowed one run in his last 40.2 innings. Overall, he owns a 2.13 ERA in 84.1 IP (61 H, 24 R, 20 ER, 4 HR, 28 BB, 101 K). It is hard to believe his ERA was 4.26 at one point. Yes, he has earned a promotion – that goes without saying.
RHP Jack Neely: 1 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 1 K
2.41 ERA (37.1 IP, 19 H, 12 R, 10 ER, 3 HR, 14 BB, 59 K). Kids like Neely should overpower this level, and he is.
RHP Luis Velasquez (S, 1): 1 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 1 K

Tampa (40-41; 9-6 in the second half) (Defeated Dunedin, 6-1. They didn’t get off to a great start to 2023 but now they are on the brink of reaching .500)

2B Jared Serna0-for-3, RS, BB, K
He goes into the break hitting .285/.346/.481 in 347 PA (18 doubles, 1 triple, 14 HR, 51 RBI, 55 R, 28 BB (8.1%), 59 K (17%), 16-for-21 SB). There isn’t much to complain about with Serna – he has been everything you would want him to be. From the leadoff spot, he leads the FSL in home runs and RBI, while ranking third in runs scored. 
3B Jesus Rodriguez0-for-3, BB
DH Ben Rice2-for-3, 2B (3), RS, BB
Rice was having no issues with High-A pitching before his injury – did we expect him to have any trouble here during his rehab stint? The rust is seemingly shaken off.
C Omar Martinez: 3-for-4, HR (6), 2 RBI, 2 RS
.237/.366/.374 in 238 PA (7 doubles,1 triple, 6 HR, 29 RBI, 29 R, 37 BB (15.5%), 72 K (30.3%), 5-for-6 SB). I love the walks – the strikeouts need improvement.
SS Brenny Escanio0-for-3, RS, BB, 2 K
CF Daury Arias1-for-3, 2 RBI, RS, BB
