Yankees MILB 4/26: Jackson Castillo Drives Home 6

Notes:

I have nothing to offer you.

Scranton (12-13) (Lost to Charlotte, 8-7. The Railriders blew a 7-0 lead)

CF Ismael Munguia: 0-for-4, R, BB
.256/.362/.372 in 107 PA (4 doubles, 2 HR, 7 RBI, 15 R, 5-for-7 SB, 10.3% BB, 7.5% K)
3B Jorbit Vivas: 1-for-3, CS (4), 2 BB
Vivas has ten starts at second base and 12 at third base.
C Jesus Rodriguez: 3-for-5, 2B (2), RBI, 2 R, SB (4)
Some websites (ahem…MLB Pipeline…ahem) refuse to rank Rodriguez in the Yankees’ Top 30. The Yankees disagree, as they added him to the 40-man roster, and he continues to hit. Since joining Scranton, he is 12-for-36 (.333/.468/.389) with a pair of doubles and more walks (9) than strikeouts (7). He is also 4-for-4 in the stolen base department. In his 300-game minor league career, the 23-year-old is hitting .306/.394/.464. When Alex Jackson returns (assuming the injury won’t keep him out forever), the Yankees may have a decision to make. One place Rodriguez struggled was Double-A (.196/.250/.339 in 30 games). Do they send him back? Do they use his versatility to their advantage and keep him in Scranton?
1B T.J. Rumfield: 0-for-4, R, BB, 2 K
Rumfield is down to .231/.341/.462 thanks to a 1-for-24 slump.
RF Dominic Smith: 2-for-4, 2 2B (4), RBI, R, BB
Smith has three doubles in his last two games (7-for-23 in his last six games).
LF Jose Rojas: 2-for-5, 3B (1), R
DH Ronaldo Hernandez: 1-for-3, SF, 3 RBI, R
SS Jake Gatewood: 2-for-4, 2 RBI
2B Andrew Velazquez: 0-for-3, BB, 3 K

RHP Erick Leal: 5 IP, 4 H, 4 R, 3 ER, 2 BB, 7 K
4.81 ERA (24.1 IP, 24 H, 16 R, 13 ER, 2 HR, 8 BB, 31 K)
RHP Colten Brewer: 1 IP, 5 H, 3 R, 3 ER, 0 BB, 2 K
RHP Eric Reyzelman (L, 1-2): 1 IP, 1 H, 1 R, 1 ER, 1 BB, 2 K
3.38 ERA (10.2 IP, 7 H, 4 R, 4 ER, 1 HR, 7 BB, 13 K). Control, control, control.
RHP Geoff Hartlieb: 2 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 3 K
2.61 ERA (10.1 IP, 11 H, 5 R, 3 ER, 0 HR, 2 BB, 11 K)

Somerset (9-11) (Defeated Hartford, 4-3)

1B Dylan Jasso: 1-for-4, 2B (4), RBI
Jasso continues to hit (.274 with a .864 OPS) while playing 1B, 2B, and 3B. Is he a legitimate prospect? If he continues to hit, you can start envisioning him as a utility piece.
2B DJ LeMahieu: 2-for-3, RBI, R, K
LeMahieu is 5-for-8 during his rehab stint.
2B Jose Colmenares: 0-for-1
CF Spencer Jones: 0-for-4, 2 K
DH Rafael Flores: 1-for-3, 2B (5), R, BB, K
Flores has hit safely in eight of his last nine games (10-for-35; 4 doubles, 1 HR)
LF Cole Gabrielson: 1-for-4, 2 RBI, SB (8), K
C Antonio Gomez: 0-for-3, 2 K
3B Alexander Vargas: 0-for-2, SB (4), BB
SS Max Burt: 1-for-3, 2B (2), R
RF Christopher Familia: 1-for-3, 2B (2), R, 2 K
Familia is 3-for-9 with two doubles and a triple.

LHP Edgar Barclay: 4 IP, 5 H, 3 R, 3 ER, 1 BB, 5 K, HR
RHP Clayton Beeter: 1.2 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 2 K
Beeter struggled in his first rehab appearance at this level. Not tonight.
LHP Will Brian (W, 1-0): 3 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 4 K
An impressive Double-A debut after a strong start at Hudson Valley (7 IP, 4 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 12 K). Health has been an issue for the 26-year-old.
RHP Harrison Cohen (S, 1): 0.1 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 1 K
2.25 ERA (8 IP, 5 H, 2 R, 2 ER, 0 HR, 2 BB, 10 K)

Hudson Valley (14-6) (Continued their hot start with a 15-0 mauling of Asheville)

CF Brendan Jones: 3-for-6, 2B (4), RBI, 3 R, SB (11)
Jones has hit safely in eight of his last nine games, including three multi-hit efforts (12-for-36). With 11 stolen bases, he is second in the South Atlantic League (Duce Gourson has 12). He is hitting .235/.350/.456
SS George Lombard Jr.: 3-for-4, 2B (3), RBI, 2 R, BB
.305/.481/.441 in 81 PA (3 doubles, 1 triple, 1 HR, 8 RBI, 16 R, 9-for-11 SB, 22.2% BB, 19.8% K). And he is still a teenager.
PR-2B Duncan Pastore: 0-for-1, R
Pastore pinch-run for Lombard in the 7th. I am hoping it was due to the score, not an injury.
LF Jackson Castillo: 3-for-5, 2B (6), HR (1, grand slam), SF, 6 RBI, R, K
Castillo has two 6-RBI games this season (3 RBI in his other 12 games). His personal best remains seven, which he did last August.
DH Jace Avina: 3-for-4, HR (1), 3 RBI, 2 R, 2 BB
Avina is on a 5-game hitting streak (9-for-18). His triple slash has climbed from .190/.364/.214 to .283/.436/.367.
C Omar Martinez: 1-for-6, R, 4 K
1B Coby Morales: 1-for-6, HR (2), RBI, R, K
If you are going to go 1-for-6, you may as well make the one a homer.
3B Josh Moylan: 1-for-5, 2 K
2B-SS Brenny Escanio: 2-for-4, RBI, R, BB, K
RF Anthony Hall: 1-for-4, 2 RBI, 2 R, BB, K

RHP Bryce Cunningham (W, 3-1): 6 IP, 3 H, 0 R, 2 BB, 8 K
2.63 ERA (24 IP, 19 H, 8 R, 7 ER, 1 HR, 4 BB, 30 K). Cunningham has been brilliant in three of his four starts. In the other start, he allowed five runs in the first inning before settling in and providing the team with six innings. The 6’5″ 22-year-old is showing off impressive command/control thus far. He walked 71 batters in 160 college innings, so is this a hot stretch, or has something clicked in the Yankees Pitching Lab?
LHP Geoffrey Gilbert: 1 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 4 K
Gilbert pulls off the 4 strikeout inning!
RHP Tyrone Yulie: 1 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 2 K
4.32 ERA (8.1 IP, 8 H, 4 R, 4 ER, 0 HR, 5 BB, 13 K)
RHP Ocean Gabonia: 1 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 0 K

Tampa (8-12) (Lost to Dunedin, 5-1. Edgleen Perez remains out of the lineup but is not on the injured list.)

SS Roderick Arias: 1-for-3, SB (9), BB, K
I am not sure why Arias was pulled from the game.
3B Parks Harber: 0-for-0
DH Brian Sanchez: 1-for-4, CS (2), K
.250/.294/.406 in 68 PA. He owned an 11.6% BB last year (5.9% this year).
C Engelth Urena: 1-for-4, R
LF Dillon Lewis: 0-for-4, 2 K
1B Tyler Wilson: 2-for-2, CS (3), 2 BB
Wilson reaches base four times to improve his triple slash to .258/.364/.258. Correct: All 17 of his hits are singles. Last season, the 22-year-old compiled five doubles and a homer in 21 games.
RF Austin Green: 2-for-4, 2 2B (2), RBI
Green had one extra-base hit in his first 20 professional games. Naturally, he swats a pair tonight to jump that number to three. Baseball!
3B-2B Hans Montero: 1-for-4, K
2B-SS Juan Matheus: 0-for-4, 2 K
CF Marshall Toole: 0-for-4, K

RHP Greysen Carter (L, 0-2): 5 IP, 6 H, 5 R, 5 ER, 2 BB, 3 K, HR
5.74 ERA (15.2 IP, 15 H, 10 R, 10 ER, 1 HR, 12 BB, 20 K). Even at the lower levels, throwing 98+ (and hitting triple digits at times) still requires command and solid secondary pitches. Carter will be a work-in-progress with a massive ceiling.
RHP Jonathan Loaisiga: 1 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 1 K
Could he get a crack at the closer role if he stays healthy? I prefer closers who miss more bats than Loaisiga does, but a healthy Loaisiga is a massive bullpen upgrade.
RHP Gus Hughes: 1 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 1 K
RHP Brandon Decker: 2 IP, 2 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 3 K
0.90 ERA (10 IP, 9 H, 5 R, 1 ER, 0 HR, 5 BB, 11 K)

FCL (0-0)

Their season starts on May 3rd.

DSL (0-0)

Their season starts in June.

Yankees MILB 4/19: Bryce Cunningham Dominates

Notes:

No news.

I have started a minor league injury log (below)

Injury Log

The Baseball Reference links stopped functioning at some point tonight, so some players don’t have their links (for now). You’ll live.

Scranton (11-8) (No-hit by Durham, 4-0)

3B Jorbit Vivas: 0-for-4
His 6-game hitting streak is snapped. His K% is down to 4.8%.
LF Everson Pereira: 0-for-3, 3 K
PH Edinson Duran: 0-for-1
I am not sure why Duran pinch-hit with two outs in the 9th.
1B T.J. Rumfield: 0-for-3, 2 K
C Jesus Rodriguez: 0-for-2, BB
CF Ismael Munguia: 0-for-2, BB
DH Dominic Smith: 0-for-3
Smith, a candidate to replace Ben Rice if the injury required an IL stint (doesn’t seem likely) is an uninspiring 7-for-49 with a double and a homer.
SS Andrew Velazquez: 0-for-3
RF Grant Richardson: 0-for-3, 3 K
2B Max Burt: 0-for-2, BB, K

RHP Zach Messinger: (L, 0-1) 5 IP, 6 H, 2 R, 2 ER, 3 BB, 8 K
4.32 ERA (16.2 IP, 19 H, 8 R, 8 ER, 0 HR, 10 BB, 17 K). He has allowed 9 HR in 166.2 IP over the last two seasons (0.49 HR/9)
RHP Eric Reyzelman: 1 IP, 1 H, 1 R, 1 ER, 1 BB, 0 K
3.52 ERA (7.2 IP, 5 H, 3 R, 3 ER, 1 HR, 5 BB, 10 K)
RHP Geoff Hartlieb: 1.1 IP, 4 H, 1 R, 1 ER, 0 BB, 1 K
LHP Rob Zastryzny: 0.2 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 0 K

Somerset (6-8) (Lost to Altoona, 2-1)

3B Dylan Jasso: 1-for-4, K
.275/.341/.450 in 44 PA (2 doubles, 1 triple, 1 HR, 7 RBI, 10 R, 3 BB, 7 K)
CF Spencer Jones: 0-for-4, 3 K
.235/.361/.549 in 61 PA (1 double, 5 HR, 10 RBI, 11 R, 4-for-4 SB, 14.8% BB, 32.8% K). In case you forgot, Jones had a 9.9% BB and 36.8% K in 2024.
DH Rafael Flores: 1-for-4, 2 K
.264/.339/.415 in 59 PA (2 doubles, 2 HR, 12 RBI, 3 R, 2-for-2 SB, 10.2% BB, 33.9% K). The K% is high so far.
RF Garrett Martin: 0-for-2, R, 2 HBP
1B Tyler Hardman: 0-for-4, 2 K
SS Jake Gatewood: 1-for-3, 2B (7), RBI
.300/.391/.600 in 46 PA (7 doubles, 1 triple, 1 HR, 9 RBI, 9 R, 1-for-2 SB). Gatewood is not a prospect, but watching a 29-year-old still trying to realize his MLB dream is fun.
LF Jared Wegner: 0-for-3
2B Alexander Vargas: 1-for-3, SB (3), K
Vargas has reached base safely in 9 of his 10 games (hits in eight of those games).
C Antonio Gomez: 0-for-3, K

LHP Edgar Barclay: 4.1 IP, 3 H, 1 R, 1 ER, 2 BB, 5 K
RHP Mason Vinyard: 1.2 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 3 K
5 IP, 3 H, 1 R, 1 ER, 6 BB, 7 K
RHP Harrison Cohen: (L, 0-1) 1.2 IP, 1 H, 1 R, 1 ER, 0 BB, 0 K
6 IP, 4 H, 2 R, 2 ER, 2 BB, 6 K
RHP Kelly Austin: 0.1 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 0 K

Hudson Valley (10-4) (Defeated Wilmington, 8-0)

LF Brendan Jones: 2-for-4, 2 R, SB (8)
.196/.339/.391 in 56 PA (1 double, 1 triple, 2 HR, 5 RBI, 12 R, 8-for-9 SB, 14.3% BB, 28.6% K). Jones’ combination of patience, speed, and defense allows you to envision his floor as a #4-#5 outfielder.
CF Jace Avina: 0-for-3, R, HBP, K
.205/.373/.231 in 51 PA. He hit 10+ HR in his first three professional campaigns.
C Omar Martinez: 2-for-4, 3 RBI, R
Martinez is off to a slow start (.240/.309/.280). Maybe this is the game that gets him going.
2B Jose Colmenares: 0-for-2, R, HBP, BB
3B Josh Moylan: 1-for-3, 2B (3), 2 RBI, R, SB (1), CS (1)
SS Brenny Escanio: 1-for-4, 2B (2), 2 RBI, R, K
1B Coby Morales: 2-for-4
C Tomas Frick: 1-for-4, K
RF Anthony Hall: 1-for-4, R, K
Hall has hit safely in five of his six games.

RHP Bryce Cunningham: (W, 2-1) 7 IP, 4 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 9 K
3.50 ERA (18 IP, 16 H, 8 R, 7 ER, 1 HR, 2 BB, 22 K). Cunningham allowed five runs in the first inning in his second start. While all stats count, that has thus far been his lone bad inning.
RHP Bryce Warrecker: 1 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 1 K
4.2 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 7 K. That is a strong start to his campaign.
RHP Tyrone Yulie: 1 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 3 K

Tampa (7-7) (Lost to St. Lucie, 4-3, in 12 innings)

SS Roderick Arias: 1-for-5, R, SB (6), 2 K
Arias has reached base safely in five straight games (4-game hitting streak). He has 3 extra-base hits (2 doubles, HR) and 3 stolen bases during this stretch.
CF Brian Sanchez: 1-for-5, 3 K
C Engelth Urena: 1-for-5, HR (3), RBI, R, K
Urena hit a game-tying HR in the top of the 9th. He has homered three times in his last four games. As I keep saying, his power potential is real (14 HR in 63 career games).
3B Parks Harber: 1-for-5, RBI, SB (3), 2 K
Harber has an 8-game hitting streak (10-for-29)
1B Tyler Wilson: 0-for-5, K
LF Dillon Lewis: 0-for-5, 4 K
RF Austin Green: 0-for-5, R, K
2B Juan Matheus: 2-for-4, RBI, K
Matheus gave Tampa a 3-2 lead in the 10th.
DH Josue Gonzalez: 2-for-4
A much-needed multi-hit effort for Gonzalez (2-for-30 entering the game).

RHP Greysen Carter: 4.1 IP, 4 H, 2 R, 2 ER, 3 BB, 7 K
Carter was pumping fastballs north of 100 MPH this evening, but his control wasn’t sharp (which is why he will be a work in progress). In his three starts: 10.2 IP, 9 H, 5 R, 5 ER, 0 HR, 10 BB, 17 K.
RHP Brady Kirtner: 2.2 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 1 K
2.35 ERA (7.2 IP, 4 H, 2 R, 2 ER, 0 HR, 4 BB, 5 K)
RHP Brandon Decker: 3 IP, 2 H, 1 R, 0 ER, 2 BB, 6 K
Decker generated 13 whiffs tonight (7 with his slider, 5 with his change, 1 with his sinker). Every swing against his changeup resulted in a whiff.
RHP Gus Hughes (L, 2-1): 1 IP, 1 H, 1 R, 0 ER, 0 BB, 0 K

FCL (0-0)

Their season starts on May 3rd.

DSL (0-0)

Their season starts in June.

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
