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.

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

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)

RHP Sebastian Keane: (L, 6-6)  1.2 IP, 1 H, 4 R, 4 ER, 3 BB, 1 K
It wasn’t his night – it required 52 pitches to earn those five outs. Season: 4.98 ERA (65 IP, 60 H, 37 R, 36 ER, 6 HR, 32 BB, 61 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

C Tomas Frick: 0-for-0

RHP Bryce Warrecker: 0 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 0 K

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.

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

.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

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

Tampa (23-37) (Their game against Clearwater was suspended in the top of the 3rd. They will try to resume it tomorrow)

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.
SS Santiago Gomez: 0-for-3, RS, HBP, BB, K
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)
SS Kevin Verde: 2-for-4, 2B (3), RS, SB (4)
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
