Top 30 Prospects Injury Log Notes: The Yankees acquired RHP Wilmy Sanchez from the Houston Astros for infielder Braden Shewmake. The Astros are thin in the infield, so Shewmake should help their depth. A first-round pick by the Braves in 2019, he has 31 games of MLB experience, hitting .118/.127/.191, which is good for a -11 OPS+. That […]

Top 30 Prospects Injury Log Notes: RHP Angel Chivilli, who has impressed the most amongst the Scranton relief corps, was called up to take Yerry de los Santos‘ place on the roster. We are seeing the musical chairs in real time. Chivilli (23) spent the 2024 and 2025 seasons with the Rockies, compiling a 6.18 ERA over […]

Minor League Reports, Yankees
Notes: The rumblings about Jesus Rodriguez are starting. I get it – the Yankees have an issue with offense at third base, and Rodriguez can further help balance the lineup. But is he a third baseman? The Yankees have tried various positions with him. A natural catcher, he also has experience at 1B/2B (limited)/3B/LF. MLB Pipeline’s write-up […]

Minor League Reports, Yankees
Notes: RHP Clayton Beeter‘s rehab is over. The Yankees have optioned him to Scranton. The Yankees traded LHP Rob Zastryzny to the Brewers for cash considerations. This is a massive win since I no longer need to type that name. The 33-year-old has pitched for several organizations, including MLB stops with the Cubs, Mets, Angels, and Pirates. […]

Notes: Outfielder Spencer Jones was placed on the injured list for Somerset, robbing us of a chance to see arguably the top two prospects in the system in the same lineup. In a related move, Christopher Familia was activated from the Development List. RP Scott Effross (yes, he does exist) is on a rehab stint in the FCL. Speaking of […]

Minor League Reports, Yankees
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 […]
