Yankees MILB 7/30: Brendan Beck Tosses 6 Scoreless Innings

Yankees MILB 7/18: Brendan Beck: 5 Hitless Innings

Notes: In case you missed it (or you want to read it for the 50th time), I wrote up a mid-season review of the Yankees’ system. OF Spencer Jones was missing from tonight’s Scranton lineup. That raises an eyebrow because the Railriders just had four days off. As I said last week, being out of a […]

Yankees MILB 6/22: Another Strong Effort for Griffin Herring

Notes: I have concluded that we aren’t receiving accurate roster updates from Hudson Valley. Today, they announced that OF Jace Avina was activated off the injured list. The problem? From what I can find, it was never announced that he was ever on the list. Keep that in mind while you wonder what the heck happened […]

Yankees MILB 6/15: Brennen Davis Homers Again

Notes: SS Santiago Gomez was promoted from the FCL to Tampa today. The 21-year-old (yes, he was old for the FCL) was hitting .273/.356/.325 with a homer and 12 RBI in 90 plate appearances. Additionally, he stole 13 bases in 14 attempts. Last season, in 95 plate appearances, he put together a .321/.421/.420 line. From what […]

Yankees MILB 6/10: Pitching Rules the Night

Notes: RHP Bryce Cunningham‘s return from the injured list was short-lived, as he is back on the list after only one start. Cunningham has arguably impressed the most from last year’s pitching class, compiling a 1.93 ERA (3.33 FIP) over 46.2 innings with a 25.7% K, 6% BB, and 45.4% GB. The Yankees released veteran LHP […]

Yankees MILB 6/4: Bryce Cunningham Returns

Notes: RHP Bryce Cunningham (Hudson Valley) was activated from the 7-day injured list today. He started in tonight’s game. 1B/OF Dominic Smith, released last week, signed with the San Francisco Giants. To make room, the Giants designated LaMonte Wade Jr. for assignment. Between 2023 and 2024, Wade Jr. was a solid offensive performer, hitting .258/.376/.401 (120 […]

Yankees MILB 5/29: Spencer Jones Returns

Notes: OF Spencer Jones, out since May 3rd due to an “intercostal injury,” returned to the Somerset lineup tonight. He joined Jazz Chisholm Jr., who is in Somerset on a rehab stint. Unfortunately, when someone comes off the injured list, someone has to go. The Yankees have released OF Grant Richardson. Drafted in the 17th round in […]
