Yankees MILB 9/10: Estevan Florial: 2 HR, 6 RBI

News: As I suspected, veterans Matt Bowman and Anthony Misiewicz were called up today. We’ll see if this is permanent or temporary. This is a good time to get Will Warren and Clayton Beeter some innings in MLB, even as long relievers. Beeter may have the inside track as he needs to be protected this winter while Warren does not need to […]

Yankees MILB 8/30: Ben Rice Goes Off

News: It looked like it might be a slow news day. Late this afternoon, Bryan Hoch announced that the Yankees are calling up Jasson Dominguez and Austin Wells.

Yankees MILB 8/26: Jasson Dominguez…Again

News: Two people independently contacted me tonight from Somerset, claiming that they spotted OF Spencer Jones in the dugout. Given Jones’ size, he is easy to spot, so I believe it to be true. Jones has not played the last two nights for Hudson Valley. Assuming he isn’t there for a wedding (hey, you never know), […]

Yankees MILB 8/10: Ben Rice: 4 Hits, HR, 3 RBI

News: There will be no report on Friday, August 11th. Please hold back your tears. That was fast: RHP Deivi Garcia was claimed off waivers by the Chicago White Sox. The White Sox were among the first teams to get a crack at him. That ends his frustrating Yankees tenure, a tenure that included a start (for […]
