Yankees MILB 4/6: Bryce Cunningham Impresses in Debut

Notes:

Nothing to report

Scranton (5-4) (Doubled Up Syracuse, 8-4)

CF Ismael Munguia: 2-for-5, 2 R, SB (2)
Munguia’s solid start continues (11-for-35 (.314/.400/.371)).
RF Everson Pereira: 2-for-4, HR (1), 2 RBI, 2 R, BB, K
Do the Yankees feel that Pereira can be the right-handed bat they seek? I have no idea.
1B T.J. Rumfield: 0-for-4, R, BB, K
C Alex Jackson: 1-for-4, 2 RBI, R, BB, K
LF Dominic Smith: 0-for-3, BB
3B Jose Rojas: 1-for-4, RBI, K
  3B Jorbit Vivas: 1-for-1, HR (2), 3 RBI, R
Vivas makes the most of his at-bat. He is 10-for-33 (.303) with a pair of doubles, homers, and 9 RBI.
DH Ronaldo Hernandez: 1-for-5, 2 K
SS Andrew Velazquez: 1-for-5
2B Braden Shewmake: 1-for-3, R, BB, K

RHP Zach Messinger: 4 IP, 6 H, 2 R, 2 ER, 3 BB, 2 K
8 IP, 10 H, 4 R, 4 ER, 4 BB, 4 K
RHP Colten Brewer: 1 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 1 K
RHP Allan Winans: 2.2 IP, 3 H, 1 R, 0 ER, 1 BB, 3 K
RHP Kervin Castro (W, 1-0): 1.1 IP, 1 H, 1 R, 1 ER, 1 BB, 3 K

Somerset (1-2) (Mauled by Hartford, 16-5)

3B Jesus Rodriguez: 0-for-5, R
Rodriguez is facing a challenge for the first time in his career, as he is hitting .204/.257/.367 in 26 Double-A games. He will need to adjust to the upper level.
DH Spencer Jones: 1-for-3, R, BB, K
3-for-11 with a double, two walks, and five strikeouts.
C Rafael Flores: 1-for-4, HR (2), 3 RBI, R, K
Flores has homered in back-to-back games and has 17 in 68 Double-A games over the last two seasons. The power looks real.
1B Tyler Hardman: 1-for-3, BB, K
LF Cole Gabrielson: 0-for-4, 3 K
CF Garrett Martin: 0-for-2, R, SB (1), 2 BB, 2 K
RF Jared Wegner: 0-for-3, BB, 2 K
SS Jake Gatewood: 0-for-3, R, SB (1), HBP, K
2B Alexander Vargas: 1-for-2, RBI, HBP
  PH Max Burt: 0-for-1

RHP Trent Sellers: 3 IP, 2 H, 4 R, 4 ER, 3 BB, 6 K, HR
The 25-year-old broke out in 2024, pitching to a 2.26 ERA in 83.2 IP with a 100/40 K/BB (only allowed 43 hits). While he made an emergency appearance for Scranton, I would consider today his upper-level debut (he spent last year in Hudson Valley).
RHP Colby White (L, 0-1): 1.1 IP, 4 H, 6 R, 6 ER, 1 BB, 3 K, HR
RHP Cole Percival: 0.2 IP, 4 H, 4 R, 4 ER, 0 BB, 1 K, HR
Percival was signed to a minor league contract in January. This is his first go-around for an East Coast organization (previously with the Dodgers, Angels, and Diamondbacks).  Yes, he is the son of former Angels’ closer Troy Percival.
RHP Zach Greene: 1 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 2 K
It’s been a long road for the 28-year-old drafted by the Yankees in 2019. He was drafted in the Rule 5 by the Mets in 2022, but injuries kept him off the MLB roster. He was returned to the Yankees in 2023 and this is his first appearance since that year.
RHP Luis Pacheco: 0.1 IP, 3 H, 2 R, 1 ER, 1 BB, 1 K
RHP Danny Watson: 1.2 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 4 K
A healthy season for Watson would add some extra punch to the organization. Before a tough 2024 season (coming off of an injury), he was dominant in 2023 (1.58 ERA with an 82/25 K/BB over 62.2 IP)

Hudson Valley (2-1) (Defeated Jersey Shore, 6-2)

LF Brendan Jones: 0-for-5, 3 K
SS George Lombard Jr.: 1-for-3, R, CS (1), BB, HBP, K
3-for-10 with a triple and a pair of walks. 
C Omar Martinez: 2-for-5, R, 2 K
5-for-13
CF Jace Avina: 2-for-5, 2 R, 2 K
3B-1B Josh Moylan: 0-for-2, SF, RBI, HBP
2B Jose Colmenares: 2-for-4, 2B (1), 2 RBI, R, K
The 23-year-old had a strong 26-game audition here in 2023 (.244/.410/.564 with seven home runs). However, he missed all of 2024 to injury.
RF Anthony Hall: 2-for-4, 2B (1), HR (1), 3 RBI, R, K
An interesting prospect when he was drafted in the 4th round in 2022, injuries have limited Hall’s playing time. In 48 games last year, he hit .222/.320/.316 with a pair of home runs.
DH Tomas Frick: 0-for-3, BB
1B Kiko Romero: 2-for-3, 2B (1), K
  3B Brenny Escanio: 1-for-1

RHP Bryce Cunningham (W, 1-0): 5 IP, 5 H, 2 R, 2 ER, 0 BB, 7 K
The Yankees drafted a lot of pitchers in 2024. Cunningham (22; 6’5″) was taken in the 2nd round out of Vanderbilt. Throwing in the mid-to-upper 90s, he has a chance to become your favorite pitching prospect in the system. That is his ceiling. Will he reach it?
LHP Will Brian: 1 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 0 K
The 25-year-old pitched in two games in 2022, 2023, and 2024. Hopefully, he can break the 3-game barrier in 2025 (injuries, injuries, injuries).
RHP Chris Kean: 1 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 1 K
Kean had an impressive 2024 debut, pitching to a 1.08 ERA in 25 games (33.1 IP). He allowed 15 hits, walked five, and struck out 44.
RHP Bryce Warrecker: 1 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 1 K
Warrecker stands an impressive 6’8″. In 19 starts last year, he went 2-7 with a 5.79 ERA and 46/30 K/BB over 65.1 innings.
RHP Huey Morrill: 1 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 1 K

Tampa (2-1) (The undefeated dream is over as they lose to Lakeland, 6-5)

SS Roderick Arias: 0-for-5, K
A tough start to the season for Arias (0-for-12, 1 R, 3 BB, 5 K)
DH Edgleen Perez: 1-for-5, R, 2 K
RF Brian Sanchez: 1-for-4, 3B (1), 2 RBI, 2 R, BB, K
Sanchez has 9 triples in 341 career plate appearances.
C Engelth Urena: 0-for-3, SF, RBI, BB, 2 K
3B Parks Harber: 0-for-3, R, BB, K
LF Tyler Wilson: 1-for-4, BB, K
2B Austin Green: 3-for-5, 2 RBI, K
Green’s first career multi-hit effort.
1B Josue Gonzalez: 0-for-4
CF Marshall Toole: 1-for-3, R, SB (1), BB, K
Last year’s 15th-round pick (Tulsa) hit .255/.449/.353 in 17 games with an 8-for-10 stolen base rate in his debut at this level.

RHP Greysen Carter: 3 IP, 1 H, 1 R, 1 ER, 5 BB, 4 K
The professional debut for their 5th-round pick in the 2024 draft (Vanderbilt). Carter is known to hit triple digits, but the talent is raw. Last season for Vanderbilt, he posted a 6.58 ERA in 39.2 IP with a 38/31 K/BB.
LHP Tyler Matzek: 1 IP, 2 H, 1 R, 1 ER, 0 BB, 2 K
The first rehab appearance for the 34-year-old.  The Yankees have an upcoming bullpen jam to work out.
RHP Jackson Fristoe: 2 IP, 2 H, 3 R, 3 ER, 2 BB, 2 K
The strong-armed 24-year-old has dealt with injuries and wildness in his brief professional career.
RHP Jack Sokol (L, 0-1): 1.1 IP, 2 H, 1 R, 1 ER, 1 BB, 1 K
The professional debut for Sokol, who was signed as an undrafted free agent out of Pittsburgh in 2024.
RHP Tony Rossi: 1.2 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 2 K
Rossi, who turns 26 in July, makes his professional debut. He was signed as an undrafted free agent last year (UNC Charlotte). 

FCL (0-0)

Their season starts on May 3rd.

DSL (0-0)

Their season starts in June.

Yankees MILB 4/4: Griffin Herring Dazzles in Debut

Notes:

The Yankees have signed C/OF Cooper Hummel to a minor league deal after he elected free agency yesterday. The Astros outrighted him off their 40-man roster, and he had the right to declare free agency.

While listed as a C/OF, Hummell hasn’t caught at any level since 2023 (96 innings). Offensively, the 30-year-old hasn’t done much with his limited MLB playing time, hitting .159/.255/.275 (51 OPS+) over 235 PA. He has clubbed three homers and driven home 17. If tomorrow’s Immaculate Grid has any combination of Diamondbacks, Mariners, and Astros, remember his name. He has appeared in MLB for all three organizations.

For the Yankees, he is depth.

Scranton (4-3) (Mauled Syracuse, 12-4)

LF Ismael Munguia: 0-for-5, R, SB (1), HBP, 2 K
3B Jorbit Vivas: 3-for-4, HR (1), 3 RBI, 3 R, 2 BB, K
Despite what “scouts” say, the Yankees continue to give Vivas reps at third base. It doesn’t hurt to try, and it would increase his trade value if he impresses.
DH T.J. Rumfield: 3-for-6, 2 RBI
9-for-30 (2 doubles, 2 HR, 7 RBI, 6 R, 3 BB, 5 K). If one continues to hit, they eventually get a chance somewhere.
1B Dominic Smith: 0-for-4, BB, 2 K
RF Jose Rojas: 1-for-4, R, BB, 2 K
  PR-RF Grant Richardson: 0-for-0, SF, RBI, R
C Alex Jackson: 1-for-4, 2 R, 2 BB, 3 K
2B Braden Shewmake: 3-for-4, HR (2), 3 RBI, 2 R, BB
Season: 6-for-24 (2 HR, 4 RBI, 4 R, 6 BB, 6 K). The Railriders are using him at 2B/SS/3B.
SS Andrew Velazquez: 0-for-3, R, SB (4), SAC, BB, 2 K
CF Duke Ellis: 2-for-5, 3 RBI, R, K

RHP Jake Woodford:  3 IP, 2 H, 1 R, 1 ER, 1 BB, 0 K, HR
Woodford’s organizational debut.
RHP Leonardo Pestana: 1 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 2 BB, 3 K
The Yankees have many bullpen options, making a Pestana debut difficult to imagine. However, if he can stay healthy, he could make things interesting. There is talent here.
RHP Ian Hamilton: 0.2 IP, 1 H, 1 R, 1 ER, 1 BB, 1 K
Supposedly, he’ll be back in Detroit?
LHP Ryan Anderson: (W, 1-0)  1 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 2 BB, 2 K
LHP Rob Zastryzny: 1.1 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 1 K
RHP Geoff Hartlieb: 1.1 IP, 3 H, 2 R, 2 ER, 1 BB, 1 K
RHP Wilking Rodriguez: 0.2 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 1 K
J.C. Escarra is a great story. Rodriguez would be a good one as well – he hasn’t appeared in MLB in 11 years.  I am going to root for it to happen.

Somerset (0-1) (Lost a heartbreaker to Hartford, 5-4, on a 9th-inning walk-off HR)

3B Jesus Rodriguez: 1-for-4, BB, K
The Yankees added the versatile Rodriguez to the 40-man roster this past winter. Listed as a catcher, he also has minor league experience at 1B/2B/3B/LF. So far in his career, he has hit everywhere they place him. Double-A (where he struggled a bit in 23 games last year) will be his ultimate test.
CF Spencer Jones: 0-for-4, HBP, 2 K
Must I say anything? Jones remains the ultimate boom-bust prospect in a sport where boom-bust prospects are more the norm than the exception. He must show more progress in 2025. The clock has started to tick (Rule 5 eligible this winter).
C Rafael Flores: 1-for-4, SB (1), 2 K
Flores (24) has jumped up on prospect radars. Upon his promotion here in 2024, he hit .274/.359/.519 with 15 home runs in only 65 games. Can he catch long-term or is first base his future calling?  We should expect to hear his name thrown around at the trade deadline if he continues to rake.
1B Dylan Jasso: 1-for-4, R, K
Only 22, Jasso hit 30 doubles in 120 games in 2024.
DH Tyler Hardman: 0-for-3, R, BB, 2 K
RF Cole Gabrielson: 0-for-4, 3 K
LF Garrett Martin: 1-for-3, R, BB
The 24-year-old showed off some HR pop in Hudson Valley last year (12 HR in 87 games). However, he struck out 97 times in 346 PA (28.0%).
2B Alexander Vargas: 1-for-2, 2B (1), R
Vargas had a fun spring, going 8-for-14 with two doubles, three homers, and 7 RBI. While that doesn’t tell us anything, it was a nice story for him. He was once a highly-regarded bonus baby. He is trying to regain some steam.
   2B Max Burt: 0-for-1, SF, RBI, K
SS Jake Gatewood: 2-for-3, 3 RBI, CS (1), BB
Where do the Yankees find these guys? Tonight was his first appearance in affiliated ball since 2022, where he hit .211/.261/.439 in 108 games for the Angels’ Triple-A affiliate in Salt Lake. Last year, he was the Bobby Witt Jr. of the independent Atlantic League. He hit .295/.395/.607 in 506 PA with 34 doubles, 33 HR, and 121 RBI.

RHP Cam Schlittler: 5.2 IP, 3 H, 1 R, 1 ER, 2 BB, 7 K, HR
The Yankees invited Schlittler to spring training. Yes, I think you should read into that – who gets invited vs. who doesn’t can show you where the Yankees currently stand with a prospect (especially those at the upper levels). Can he get to MLB in 2025? It’s not impossible.
RHP Mason Vinyard: 0.2 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 4 BB, 2 K
RHP Jordany Ventura: 1.2 IP, 2 H, 3 R, 2 ER, 2 BB, 2 K
Originally with the Mets organization, Ventura elected free agency this past winter. He is a 24-year-old with experience as a starter and reliever.
RHP Indigo Diaz: (L, 0-1): 0.1 IP, 1 H, 1 R, 1 ER, 1 HR, 0 BB, 0 K

Hudson Valley (0-1) (Lost to Jersey Shore, 3-1)

CF Brendan Jones: 0-for-5, 2 K
The 22-year-old left-handed bat made an immediate impression in his debut 2024 season. In 24 games, he hit .267/.471/.453 with 5 doubles, 3 HR, 19 RBI, 16 R, 29 BB, 21 K, and 18 stolen bases in 18 attempts. He was their 12th round pick out of Kansas State.
SS George Lombard Jr.: 1-for-3, R, BB, K
Spring training certainly raised the hype for the teenager, but let’s calm down for a second. He is still more projection than production. He may not make it to Somerset as a teenager (he turns 20 on 6/2), but we’ll see.
LF Jackson Castillo: 1-for-4, K
In a late-season trial at this level, Castillo thrived (.314/.383/.514 in 21 games). 
RF Jace Avina: 0-for-3, BB, K
Acquired from the Brewers for Jake Bauers, Avina (21) hit .245/.317/.399 in 397 PA at this level in 2024. 
C Omar Martinez: 2-for-4, 2B (1), RBI, SB (1), K
The Yankees had Martinez play a full season at Tampa in 2023 and Hudson Valley in 2024. They decided not to start him at Somerset in 2025. Is there anything to read into that? Nah.
3B Josh Moylan: 0-for-2, 2 BB
1B Coby Morales: 0-for-3, SB (1), HBP, 2 K
DH Antonio Gomez: 1-for-4, 2 K
Once considered (by me and others!) as the top pure catching prospect in the system, Gomez has never put the entire package together. That said, even though it seems he has been here for an eternity, he is only 23, and late-blooming catchers aren’t uncommon. 
2B Jose Colmenares: 0-for-4, K

LHP Kyle Carr: (L, 0-1)  4.2 IP, 2 H, 1 R, 1 ER, 3 BB, 6 K
It’s not the most efficient outing, but it is an effective one. The Yankees aggressively placed Carr at this level in 2024 without any experience anywhere else, and he went 1-8 with a 4.76 ERA over 104 IP (95/55 K/BB). They are hoping that experience translates into better results in 2025.
LHP Geoffrey Gilbert: 1.1 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 2 K
After an effective 2023 debut season for Tampa, Gilbert was limited to only five games in 2024. He will hopefully pick up from where he left off.
RHP Matt Keating: 1 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 1 K
RHP Ocean Gabonia: 1 IP, 2 H, 2 R, 2 ER, 1 BB, 1 K
RHP Cole Ayers: 1 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 0 K

Tampa (1-0) (Squeaked past Lakeland, 2-1)

SS Roderick Arias: 0-for-3, R, BB, 2 K
It’s a big season for Arias, who hit .233/.335/.393 with 21 doubles, 8 triples, 13 HR, 74 RBI, 78 R, and 37 stolen bases in 50 attempts at this level last year. When asked how I would describe him, I always say his athletic ability carries him. In other words, he can make up for his shortcomings with his pure athleticism. As you move up the chain, that’s not enough to become MLB-viable. We’ll see how 2025 unfolds.
DH Edgleen Perez: 0-for-2
Full-season league debut for Perez, a catcher who hit .283/.444/.380 in 216 PA for the FCL squad last year. He had more walks (45) than strikeouts (35). We’ll see if he can keep a strong ratio at a more advanced level (don’t expect more BB than K!). As for why he left the game, I am not sure.
   PH-DH Juan Matheus: 1-for-2
The 20-year-old switch-hitter dominated in the FCL last season. At this level, he went 1-for-13 with a pair of stolen bases.
CF Brian Sanchez: 3-for-4, 2B (1), RBI
Also acquired in the Bauers’ deal, Sanchez earned his promotion by hitting .306/.394/.514 with 16 stolen bases in 19 attempts in the FCL last year.
C Engelth Urena: 0-for-3, BB
Only 20, Urena destroyed the FCL (.301/.420/.564 in 162 PA) to earn his spot here in 2025. He’s a fun long-range lottery ticket to follow.
3B Parks Harber: 0-for-4, 3 K
RF Tyler Wilson: 2-for-2, R, SB (1), 2 BB
Last year’s 8th-round pick out of Grand Canyon had a rough start to his professional career, though he did walk 14 times in 92 PA (15.2%). Many players do. It’s all about whether they can bounce back.
LF Dillon Lewis: 0-for-4, SB (1)
2B Austin Green: 0-for-3
1B Josue Gonzalez: 0-for-3, K

LHP Griffin Herring: (W, 1-0) 5.2 IP, 4 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 7 K
The professional debut for the Yankees’ 6th-round pick in the 2024 draft out of LSU. Standing 6’2″, he went 6-1 with a 1.79 ERA and 67/13 K/BB over 50.1 innings last season. He was used primarily from the bullpen (21 of his 22 appearances).
RHP Sean Hermann: 2.1 IP, 2 H, 1 R, 1 ER, 2 BB, 2 K
Hermann, their 14th-round pick in 2021, missed 2024 due to injury.
RHP Brady Kirtner (S, 1): 1 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 1 K
Drafted by the Mets in 2023, Kirtner never made his debut. The Yankees signed him last July, and he finally makes his professional debut tonight. I pay close attention when the Yankees target a random arm sitting on the market.

FCL (0-0)

Their season starts on May 3rd.

DSL (0-0)

Their season starts in June.

Yankees MILB 7/2: Spencer Jones Homers

News:

The Yankees’ two representatives in this year’s Futures Game are OF Spencer Jones and LHP Brock Selvidge. Congrats to the Somerset teammates.

IF Caleb Durbin was transferred to the 60-day injured list today. That’s not good news. They made it retroactive to June 27, according to Conor Foley. That doesn’t make sense, since he last played on May 23rd. Whatever – any time a player is moved to the 60-day injured list, it is concerning. The only “good” news (for now) is that he hasn’t been transferred to the full-season list (minor league baseball has a full-season injured list).

Durbin, who has earned cult status amongst Yankees prospect watchers, missed several games last season due to a non-contact injury (he ended up playing in only 69 games). This year, he has missed several weeks due to a HBP. He should be in the conversation to take over second base in 2025, but this setback will cost him valuable development time.

LHP Ben Shields and RHP Eric Reyzelman were promoted from Hudson Valley to Somerset.

Shields compiled a 2.75 ERA (3.00 FIP) over 52.1 innings for Hudson Valley with a 34.8% K and 4.9% BB. That works. He made an emergency start for Scranton that didn’t go well, but it is fair to toss that.

Reyzelman is on the fast track to MLB and should be an option in 2025. The 23-year-old has yet to allow a run this season in 15.1 IP between the FCL (rehab stint) and Hudson Valley. He has 26 strikeouts and 5 walks.

Scranton (45-35) (Lost to Lehigh Valley, 5-3)

CF Brandon Lockridge: 1-for-5, 2B (10), 2 K
Lockridge will try to build off a .382/.462/.500 June.
2B Jorbit Vivas: 1-for-5, K
Vivas has an 8-game hitting streak (12-for-31) and a 13-game on-base streak.
SS Oswald Peraza: 1-for-4, CS (3), BB, K
C Agustin Ramirez: 0-for-2, RS, 2 BB, K
Since promotion: 4-for-36 (.111) with a homer, five walks, and 11 strikeouts.
1B T.J. Rumfield: 2-for-4, 2B (15), RBI, RS
.298/.350/.471 in 246 PA since his promotion. It’s too bad that he only plays first base.
DH Carlos Narvaez: 0-for-2, RS, 2 BB
RF Oscar Gonzalez: 1-for-3, BB, K
LF Taylor Trammell: 1-for-4, RBI, K
3B Jeter Downs: 0-for-4, RBI, 2 K

RHP Yoendrys Gomez: (L, 2-4)  3.1 IP, 4 H, 2 R, 2 ER, 4 BB, 4 K, HR
The walks continue to be a problem (30 in 49.1 innings)
RHP Cody Morris: 1.2 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 2 K
RHP Jack Neely: 1 IP, 1 H, 1 R, 1 ER, 1 BB, 1 K
Since promotion: 5.1 IP, 5 H, 1 R, 1 ER, 2 BB, 6 K. 
LHP Chasen Shreve: 1 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 1 K
RHP Ron Marinaccio: 1 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 2 K

Somerset (38-39) (Lost to Reading, 4-2)

CF Spencer Jones: 1-for-5, HR (10), RBI, RS, K
Jones, who flew out with the bases loaded and two outs in the 9th, has five doubles and three home runs in his last six games, increasing his SLG from .381 to .427.
SS Ben Cowles: 0-for-4, K
Cowles is in a little 0-for-13 slump, which has dropped his average to .288 (before the slump, he compiled a 9-game hitting streak. Baseball!)
3B Tyler Hardman: 2-for-4
1B Rafael Flores: 0-for-3, BB, K
C J.C. Escarra: 1-for-4, RS
DH Elijah Dunham: 2-for-4, K
Dunham has an 11-game hitting streak (16-for-46, .348).
RF Grant Richardson: 2-for-4, RBI
Richardson has five 2-hit efforts in his last eight games. He is hitting .260/.324/.400.
2B Anthony Seigler: 0-for-3, BB, K
LF Jared Wegner: 0-for-3, BB

RHP Zach Messinger: (L, 2-5)  5 IP, 4 H, 4 R, 2 ER, 4 BB, 2 K
Messinger had to grind through this one. Season: 3.60 ERA (85 IP, 68 H, 49 R, 34 ER, 6 HR, 29 BB, 92 K). His highest innings total is 101.1 (last year). He’s a big kid (6’6″) and is 24 years old – he can probably get as high as 150 innings this year.
RHP Carlos Gomez: 2 IP, 2 H, 0 R, 2 BB, 2 K
RHP McKinley Moore: 1 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 0 K
Since being placed in Somerset, Moore has walked one batter in 7 IP. It is too small of a sample to get excited, but Moore with even slightly below-average control can be a potent bullpen piece.
RHP Eric Reyzelman: 1 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 1 K
Reyzelman’s Double-A debut.

Hudson Valley (39-36) (Lost to Brooklyn, 7-0)

2B Roc Riggio: 0-for-3, SB (11), BB, K
Riggio has a 20-game on-base streak.

Moylan’s 9-game hitting streak is snapped.
C Antonio Gomez: 0-for-3, K

RHP Sebastian Keane: (L, 6-6)  1.2 IP, 1 H, 4 R, 4 ER, 3 BB, 1 K

RHP Luis Arejula: 2.2 IP, 5 H, 2 R, 2 ER, 0 BB, 2 K, HR

Tampa (27-47) (Their game against Lakeland was postponed due to wet grounds)

SS George Lombard Jr.: 0-for-0
DH Enmanuel Tejeda: 0-for-0
Tejeda has impressed as a 19-year-old. vs. RHP: .302/.340/.380. vs. LHP: 10-for-28 (.357). 
2B Roderick Arias: 0-for-0
1B Dylan Jasso: 0-for-0
CF Jackson Castillo: 0-for-0
Castillo has floated under the radar. He owns a solid .251/.377/.415 (131 wRC+) line with ten stolen bases. 45 of his 57 starts have been in CF (10 in LF, 2 at DH)
3B Hans Montero: 0-for-0

FCL (26-14) (Split a doubleheader against the Tigers)

Game 1 (Won, 8-7, in 8 innings)

CF Brian Sanchez: 1-for-5, HR (4), 3 RBI, RS, K
C Edgleen Perez: 4-for-5, RS
Perez’s first career 4-hit game.
DH Anthony Hall: 3-for-5, RS, SB (1)
He should be back in Hudson Valley soon enough.

SS Juan Matheus: 1-for-3, 2 RBI, 2 BB, K
2B Gabriel Terrero: 1-for-3, RS, SB (10), 2 BB, K

RHP Yoljeldriz Diaz (W, 4-0): 2 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 0 K

Game 2 (Lost a pitching duel, 18-13)

CF Brian Sanchez: 1-for-4, 2B (13), 2 RS, BB
.314/.404/.576 in 136 PA (13 doubles, 3 triples, 4 HR, 27 RBI, 28 R, 11-for-13 SB). He turns 20 on the 4th of July. The second piece in the Jake Bauers deal (Jace Avina is considered the better prospect) has the second-best SLG in the FCL. He is pushing for a promotion.
DH Edgleen Perez: 1-for-3, 2 RS, BB
.312/.486/.440 in 148 PA. His .486 OBP is second in the FCL.
C Engelth Urena: 2-for-4, 2 2B (4), 3 RBI, RS, BB
The $275,000 bonus baby from 2022 (the same year they signed Roderick Arias) is trying to make up for lost time after missing 2023.
2B Abrahan Ramirez: 1-for-3, 2B (10), RS
FCL stats should be taken with a grain of salt, but Ramirez’s .396 batting average leads the league by 56 points. He also leads the league in OBP and SLG. Incredible season for the 19-year-old (he doesn’t turn 20 until October).
SS Juan Matheus: 2-for-3, SF, RBI, 2 RS, 2 SB (10), BB
Matheus’ .340 batting average trails only Ramirez’s for the FCL lead.
LF Joel Mendez: 4-for-4, 2 2B (7), 3B (3), 3 RBI, 2 RS
Mendez’s first career 4-hit game.

Yankees MILB 6/14: Kyle Carr’s Strong Effort

News:

I have nothing to report.

Scranton (40-27) (Lost to Rochester, 2-1)

2B Jorbit Vivas: 0-for-5, 3 K
Vivas is 11-for-60 (.183) with 18 strikeouts for Scranton (he also has 11 walks)
3B Oswald Peraza: 1-for-2, SB (5), 2 BB
Last 9 games: 8-for-34 (.235) with a double, homer, and 8 walks. 
CF Jasson Dominguez: 1-for-3, BB
For Scranton: .394/.412/.667 in 34 PA (3 doubles, 2 HR, 1 BB, 3 K, 1 SB). His single tonight was another scorcher – he seems to hit everything hard.
1B Ben Rice: 0-for-3, BB, 2 K
Rice is 0-for-8 in his last two games, ending the speculation on whether he can hit .500 in Triple-A.
C Carlos Narvaez: 1-for-4, K
DH Jose Rojas: 0-for-3, BB
RF Oscar Gonzalez: 0-for-4, K
LF Taylor Trammell: 0-for-3, SB (2), BB, 2 K
SS Jeter Downs: 2-for-4, HR (7), RBI, RS, 2 SB (8)
.256/.349/.487 in 187 PA (9 doubles, 3 triples, 7 HR, 26 RBI, 30 R, 8-for-11 SB, 11.2% BB, 26.7% K). He’s receiving a decent amount of playing time, especially with Caleb Durbin out. 

RHP Gerrit Cole: 4.1 IP, 2 H, 1 R, 0 ER, 0 BB, 10 K
Cole tossed 70 pitches tonight, as he struck out 10+ batters for the first time in his minor league career (that isn’t a typo!). Will he throw 90 pitches against Baltimore/Atlanta next time or will have one more rehab start? I would bring him back to New York, personally.
LHP Oddanier Mosqueda: 1.1 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 3 K
4.09 ERA (33 IP, 23 H, 19 R, 15 ER, 3 HR, 19 BB, 51 K). Mosqueda has 12 strikeouts in his last 5.1 IP. 
RHP Duane Underwood Jr.: 1 IP, 2 H, 0 R, 2 BB, 2 K
1.52 ERA (23.2 IP, 14 H, 4 R, 4 ER, 14 BB, 26 K). He allowed two of those four runs in his first appearance.
RHP Phil Bickford: (L, 2-2)  2 IP, 1 H, 1 R, 1 ER, 1 BB, 1 K

Somerset (29-31) (Lost to Binghamton, 9-7)

DH Spencer Jones: 1-for-3, 2 RBI, 2 BB, K
Jones has drawn five walks in his last four games (one in his first eight June games). Before this stretch, he homered in three of four games. Furthermore, he has 15 RBI this month. It’s an encouraging stretch for him to build on.
C Agustin Ramirez: 2-for-5, 2B (13), RS, 2 K
Ramirez has six multi-hit efforts in his last 12 games. He has doubled in three straight contests.
SS Ben Cowles: 0-for-5, K
Cowles’ June hasn’t been great (.265/.308/.327). A slump was inevitable as all players have slumps. He is still hitting .307/.382/.486.
3B Tyler Hardman: 2-for-4, 2B (1), 2 RS, SB (1), 2 K
  2B Alexander Vargas: 1-for-1, HR (1), RBI, RS
Vargas tied the game with one out in the top of the 9th. He isn’t the most likely of sources for a game-tying blast, but he hit 9 HR in 103 games for Hudson Valley last year. 
CF Elijah Dunham: 1-for-4, RBI, RS, BB, 3 K
LF J.C. Escarra: 3-for-4, RBI, BB, K
Escarra is on a ridiculous 3-game run. He has three consecutive 3-hit games (9-for-14, 3 doubles, 1 HR, 9 RBI)
2B-3B Jordan Groshans: 2-for-4, RBI, RS, K
RF Aaron Palensky: 1-for-3, RS, SAC, 2 K
1B Max Burt: 0-for-4, 3 K

RHP Blane Abeyta: 5.1 IP, 7 H, 6 R, 6 ER, 2 BB, 5 K, 2 HR
RHP Luis Velasquez: 0.2 IP, 0 H, 1 R, 1 ER, 3 BB, 2 K
RHP Carlos Gomez: (L, 2-1)  2 IP, 2 H, 2 R, 2 ER, 1 BB, 1 K, HR

Hudson Valley (32-28) (Lost a heartbreaker to Brooklyn, 4-3)

2B Roc Riggio: 0-for-3, BB
SS Jared Serna: 2-for-4, 2 RBI, K
Serna has an 8-game hitting streak (14-for-32; 7 doubles). He has 48 RBI and 43 runs in 59 games. One can’t help but be impressed.
LF Jace Avina: 1-for-4, 2 K
Avina has hit safely in four straight contests after an 0-for-19 stretch.
C Rafael Flores: 0-for-4, K
DH Christopher Familia: 1-for-3, K

1B Josh Moylan: 0-for-3, RBI, BB, K
CF Cole Gabrielson: 0-for-2, RS, 2 BB, 2 K
3B Beau Brewer: 0-for-2, RS, BB

LHP Kyle Carr: 5 IP, 2 H, 0 R, 2 BB, 8 K
An impressive night for Carr, who lowers his ERA to 6.07 (46 IP, 51 H, 39 R, 31 ER, 3 HR, 33 BB, 44 K). The 8 strikeouts are a new personal best (this is his first season). The Yankees were aggressive placing him at this level. Will it pay off? It is still too early to tell.
RHP Luis Arejula: 1 IP, 1 H, 1 R, 0 BB, 0 K
3.75 ERA (24 IP, 21 H, 14 R, 10 ER, 1 HR, 15 BB, 25 K). 
RHP Cole Ayers (L, 2-3) 1.2 IP, 2 H, 3 R, 2 ER, 3 BB, 1 K
RHP Matt Keating: 0.1 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 1 K

DH Enmanuel Tejeda: 1-for-2, K
SS George Lombard Jr.: 0-for-0, 2 BB
2B Roderick Arias: 0-for-1, K
CF Jackson Castillo: 0-for-1
3B Hans Montero: 0-for-1, K
RF Willy Montero: 1-for-1
Montero will have a 10-game hitting streak when this game finishes.
1B Coby Morales: 0-for-1
C Tomas Frick: 0-for-1, K
LF Daury Arias: 0-for-0, BB

RHP Luis Serna: 2 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 2 K
It is a wasted start for Serna, but that isn’t a big deal. Season: 4.31 ERA (48 IP, 35 H, 23 R, 23 ER, 2 HR, 14 BB, 56 K). OK, I am jumping the gun – nothing counts if this game is never concluded.

FCL (18-11) (Outlasted the Blue Jays, 13-9, in 10 innings. This squad seemingly plays the Blue Jays (6-23) every other day. I don’t know how that aids development, but who am I?)

CF Brando Mayea: 2-for-6, 2 RS, 2 SB (12), CS (1), 2 K
.257/.342/.300 in 79 PA. 
DH Edgleen Perez: 1-for-2, 2B (6), SF, 2 RBI, 2 RS, SB (2), 3 BB, 1 K
.292/.475/.444 in 99 PA with more walks (23) than strikeouts (16)
C Josue Gonzalez: 0-for-3, 2 RS, HBP, 2 BB, K
1B Engelth Urena: 2-for-6, 2 RBI, RS
Urena, who missed all of 2023, is 8-for-46 (.174) with a pair of homers and 11 RBI.
LF Brian Sanchez:  4-for-5, 2B (9), HR (3, grand slam), 4 RBI, 2 RS, 3 SB (10), BB, K
Sanchez hit a walk-off grand slam, as he sets new personal bests for hits and RBI in a game. This is a stat line that most players will never put up in their careers. Season: .378/.427/.676 in 88 PA (9 doubles, 2 triples, 3 HR, 16 RBI, 20 R, 10-for-11 SB, 14.8% BB, 22.7% K)
SS Juan Matheus: 1-for-4, RBI, RS, SB (6), BB, K
3B Luis Ogando: 1-for-4, 2 RBI, RS, SB (7), BB, K
Ogando increases his hitting streak to five.

RF Ramiro Altagracia: 2-for-3, HR (1), SF, 2 RBI, RS, HBP

RHP Danny Flatt: 3.2 IP, 6 H, 3 R, 3 ER, 2 BB, 5 K
3.13 ERA (23 IP, 21 H, 8 R, 8 ER, 1 HR, 11 BB, 27 K)
RHP Chris Kean (W, 1-1): 1.2 IP, 2 H, 1 R, 0 ER, 0 BB, 0 K
Kean’s first career win. Congrats!

DSL Yankees (2-7) (Lost to the DSL Tigers 2 (how creative), 3-2)

CF Louis Pierre:  1-for-3, 2B (1), RS
C Luis Puello: 2-for-3, 2B (1), RBI

RHP Alexander Almonte: 2.1 IP, 2 H, 2 R, 1 ER, 3 BB, 3 K
Almonte is only 17 years old (debuted last year at 16). Standing 6’4″, he appears small for a Yankees’ pitching prospect!

DSL Bombers (5-3) (Defeated DSL Colorado, 9-3)

LF Browm Martinez: 2-for-4, 2B (1), RBI, RS, 2 SB (6), 2 K
CF David Carrera: 1-for-4, 2B (3), 3 RBI, RS, 2 K
5-for-14 with three doubles, a triple, and five RBI.
C Carlos Villarroel: 2-for-4, HR (1), 3 RBI, RS, K
The 17-year-old’s first professional home run. Congrats!
2B Luis Escudero: 2-for-3, 2 RS, 2 SB (8), HBP
8 SB in 6 games (4 in 31 games in 2023)

6-for-16 with 5 RBI (4-for-4 SB)

RHP Mariano Salomon: 3.1 IP, 4 H, 2 R, 2 ER, 2 BB, 6 K

Yankees MILB 5/25: Jasson Dominguez’s Big Day

News:

Nothing important.

Scranton (32-18) (Lost to Syracuse, 9-6)

3B DJ LeMahieu: 0-for-3, RS, BB, K
LeMahieu was transferred to the 60-day injured list, but that was just a paper move to get Kevin Smith on the MLB roster. Once LeMahieu flies out to Anaheim, they will activate him and DFA Smith. 
  PH-3B Jeter Downs: 0-for-2, 2 K
SS Oswald Peraza: 2-for-4, 2 RS, BB
6-for-24 and back-to-back multi-hit efforts. Note: I don’t care about his Tampa/Somerset rehab numbers – I am just reporting on his Triple-A statistics.
1B T.J. Rumfield: 1-for-4, RS, BB, K
.298/.355/.411 in 138 PA here and .303/.372/.401 in 172 PA overall.
C Carlos Narvaez: 2-for-4, 2 RBI, RS, BB, 2 K
.274/.378/.468 with 6 doubles, 2 HR, and 15 RBI in 16 May games.
LF Taylor Trammell: 1-for-3, 2B (3), RS, 2 BB, K
RF Jose Rojas: 1-for-4, 2B (11), 3 RBI, BB
Rojas has been the productive veteran presence. He has 11 doubles, 9 HR, and 31 RBI in 39 games.
DH Oscar Gonzalez: 1-for-5, RBI, K
Gonzalez now has a 9-game hitting streak. 
2B Josh VanMeter: 0-for-3, BB, HBP, 2 K
CF Greg Allen: 2-for-5, SB (8), K
.246/.409/.377 in 89 PA

LHP Ben Shields: (L, 0-1)  1.2 IP, 8 H, 9 R, 7 ER, 2 BB, 1 K
You have to hope it doesn’t hurt the kid’s confidence. He was placed here only because Scranton needed a starter and he was rested.
LHP Clayton Andrews: 2.1 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 2 BB, 3 K
LHP Oddanier Mosqueda: 2 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 2 BB, 3 K
RHP Alex Mauricio: 3 IP, 2 H, 0 R, 2 BB, 1 K
1.13 ERA (24 IP, 18 H, 4 R, 3 ER, 1 HR, 8 BB, 26 K). 

Somerset (22-22) (Defeated New Hampshire, 5-3)

CF Spencer Jones: 1-for-5, RS, 2 K
.220/.302/.318 in 149 PA. He has hit safely in five of his last six games and has reached base safely in nine straight games. However, this is not a claim that he is “hot,” as he is only 6-for-35 with 6 walks in those games. 
DH Jasson Dominguez: 3-for-5, HR (1), 2 RBI, 2 RS
Dominguez has five hits in his last two games. He may be finding his groove, which is the first hurdle. They still haven’t put him in the outfield, and it may be a while before they do.
1B Agustin Ramirez: 1-for-5, 3B (1), 2 RBI, RS, K
Ramirez launches his second career triple (229 games). He has five RBI in his last three games. He is hitting .324/.422/.574 in May (6 doubles, 3 HR, 15 RBI) after hitting .247/.370/.610 in April (1 double, 9 HR, 19 RBI).  His BABIP in the first month was low. It has since normalized (.282) and we are seeing the results of that.
C Ben Rice: 0-for-2, 2 BB
.242/.371/.490 in 187 PA. In addition to hitting some HR lately, he is drawing walks. 
SS Ben Cowles: 1-for-3, SF, RBI, K
.329/.415/.541 in 176. After a .351/.433/.623 April, he is hitting .304/.395/.449 in May. He was never going to be able to maintain the April pace. The May stat line is impressive enough.
LF Grant Richardson: 2-for-3, BB
.288/.356/.483 in 132 PA. In his last 12 games, he has six 2-hit games and six 0-hit games. 
3B Jordan Groshans: 0-for-4, 3 K
RF Jared Wegner: 0-for-3, BB, 2 K
2B Alexander Vargas: 0-for-1, BB
Vargas’ first game since May 3rd.
   2B Anthony Seigler: 1-for-2, 2B (8), RS

RHP Trystan Vrieling: 5.2 IP, 5 H, 3 R, 3 ER, 4 BB, 6 K
4.44 ERA (50.2 IP, 45 H, 27 R, 25 ER, 2 HR, 14 BB, 50 K)
RHP Colby White: (W, 1-2)  1 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 2 BB, 1 K
It was unknown by 99% of the fanbase that White was on the 40-man roster. Anyway, he recently cleared waivers and was outrighted to Somerset.
RHP Kevin Stevens: 1.1 IP,1 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 4 K
3.31 ERA (16.1 IP, 15 H, 6 R, 6 ER, 8 BB, 23 K). The 2022 undrafted free agent signing missed all of 2023 due to injury.
RHP Leonardo Pestana: (S, 1) 1 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 0 K
Since promotion: 9.1 IP, 7 H, 1 R, 1 ER, 2 BB, 8 K. He continues his impressive run.

Hudson Valley (20-21) (Lost to Brooklyn, 7-3)

RF Jace Avina: 2-for-4, K
.306 with a .909 OPS. He has 9 multi-hit games (31 games played). 
SS Jared Serna: 0-for-4, RBI, SB (6), 2 K
Serna’s 22-game on-base streak is snapped. He has four straight successful stolen base attempts (1-for-6 to start the season)
LF Jesus Rodriguez: 0-for-4, 3 K
Only the second 3 K game in his career (223 games)
DH Tyler Hardman: 1-for-4, RS, SB (1), 3 K
C Omar Martinez: 0-for-4, 2 K
1B Rafael Flores: 1-for-3, 2B (11), RS, BB, K
Flores has 11 doubles in 31 games (he hit 15 in 105 games in 2023)
3B Kiko Romero: 1-for-4, 2B (5), RBI, 3 K
CF Nelson Medina: 0-for-4, 3 K
2B Beau Brewer: 1-for-3, 2B (2), RS

RHP Josh Grosz: (L, 0-1) 3.1 IP, 6 H, 7 R, 5 ER, 6 BB, 1 K, 2 HR
His High-A debut doesn’t go well, but it’s not his fault. He is not ready for this level (in my opinion), but they needed an arm and he was available.
RHP Cole Ayers: 3.1 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 2 K
2.22 ERA (28.1 IP, 21 H, 10 R, 7 ER, 1 HR, 8 BB, 35 K). Strong performance by Ayers in 2024.
RHP Huey Morrill: 1.1 IP, 0 H, 0 R,  BB, 3 K

Tampa (17-27) (Defeated Jupiter, 6-1)

DH George Lombard Jr.: 1-for-5, 3 K
.225/.378/.265 in 127 PA (10-for-11 SB).
SS Roderick Arias: 1-for-5, RS, K
.209/.330/.337 in 194 PA. He has hit safely in six of his last seven games (7-for-30)
3B Dylan Jasso: 1-for-4, HR (5), 2 RBI, 2 RS, K
.268/.354/.465 in 181 PA (14 doubles, 1 triple, 5 HR, 27 RBI, 24 R, 9.9% BB, 25.97% K).  He has 8 doubles, 4 homers, and 19 RBI in May.
CF Jackson Castillo: 2-for-2, 2B (8), RBI, RS, SB (8), 2 BB
.264/.414/.473 in 116 PA (8 doubles, 1 triple, 3 HR, 10 RBI, 17 R, 20.7% BB, 20.7% K, 8-for-9 SB). He is 18-for-61 (.295/.470/.541) in May.

LF Dayro Perez: 0-for-4, 3 K

RHP Ryan Harvey: (W, 2-2)  5.1 IP, 2 H, 1 R, 1 ER, 1 BB, 6 K
Last two starts: 10.2 IP, 3 H, 1 R, 1 BB, 14 K. This has dropped his ERA to 5.59 in 19.1 IP with a 23/9 K/BB.
RHP Cade Austin: 2.2 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 4 K
3.72 ERA (29 IP, 25 H, 14 R, 12 ER, 5 HR, 6 BB, 35 K). This is a strong debut season, with only problematic home runs. I am more interested in that K/BB.
RHP Kris Bow: 1 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 1 K
3.44 ERA (18.1 IP, 12 H, 10 R, 7 ER, 1 HR, 14 BB, 22 K). 

FCL (9-7) (Defeated the Phillies, 5-4, in a 9-inning game)

CF Brando Mayea: 1-for-5, RBI, 3 K
6-for-18 with two walks and six strikeouts. He has reached base in all five of his games.
C Edgleen Perez: 2-for-4, K
.324/.521/.500 in 48 PA. He has 12 RBI in 12 games.
1B Josue Gonzalez: 0-for-4, 3 K
.227/.452/.568 in 62 PA. He is in a little 0-for-11 slump.
DH Engelth Urena: 0-for-2, RS, 2 BB
LF Brian Sanchez: 1-for-4, HR (1), RBI, RS, K
.364/.451/.614 in 51 PA (6 doubles, 1 triple, 1 HR, 6 RBI, 10 R, 7 BB, 12 K, 6-for-6 SB). Acquired as part of the deal for Jake Bauers (along with Jace Avina), his HR today was his first career blast.
SS Juan Matheus: 1-for-3, 2B (2), RS, HBP, K
The 20-year-old switch-hitter has started at SS in 12 of the team’s 16 games. He is hitting .273/.377/.432.

3B Santiago Gomez: 1-for-3, RBI, SB (2), BB, K

RHP McKinley Moore: 1 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 1 K
The hard-throwing Moore was moved here from the Development List. The Yankees are trying to work him through control issues.
