Yankees MILB 8/30: Roderick Arias Homers, Drives Home 4

News:

Nothing fit for print.

Scranton (73-55) (Lost two games to Rochester)

Game 1 (Lost, 6-2)

2B Caleb Durbin: 1-for-1, 2B (20), SB (25)
I don’t know why Durbin was pulled. As you may suspect, he didn’t play in Game 2. The game log doesn’t tell us anything—he wasn’t pulled after the double or stolen base. We’ll see if anything comes of it. As you may know, Durbin has a few injuries over the last two seasons. Last season, he suffered a non-contact injury that kept him out of action for several weeks. He missed a few months this season after being hit by a pitch.  This doesn’t make him “injury-prone”.  For all we know, Durbin will be back tomorrow. 
   2B Jahmai Jones: 1-for-3, 2B (5), RS, K
LF Jasson Dominguez: 0-for-3, SB (14), BB, 2 K
3B Jorbit Vivas: 0-for-4, RBI, K
SS Oswald Peraza: 0-for-2, BB, K
1B T.J. Rumfield: 1-for-2, RS, K
CF Taylor Trammell: 0-for-2, BB, 2 K
DH-C J.C. Escarra: 0-for-1, 2 BB, K
C Carlos Narvaez: 1-for-2, RBI, BB, K
  PR Duke Ellis: 0-for-0
Nothing happened to Narvaez – they just wanted to give Ellis a PR opportunity. This was Ellis’ debut as a member of the Yankees organization.
  P Scott Effross: 0-for-0
RF Greg Allen: 0-for-3, K

LHP Tanner Tully: (L, 2-7) 4.2 IP, 5 H, 5 R, 3 ER, 3 BB, 4 K, HR
RHP Joey Gerber: 0.1 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 0 K
RHP Lou Trivino: 1 IP, 1 H, 1 R, 1 ER, 0 BB, 1 K
Trivino’s first rehab appearance for Scranton (he was rehabbing for Somerset up until now). He used his entire arsenal, maxing out at 94.6 with his sinker. 
RHP Scott Effross: 1 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 2 K
For Scranton: 3.75 ERA (24 IP, 21 H, 11 R, 10 ER, 2 HR, 6 BB, 22 K). 

Game 2 (Lost, 4-1)

3B Jorbit Vivas: 1-for-2, SF, RBI
CF Jasson Dominguez: 2-for-3
Dominguez has 8 multi-hit efforts in his last 14 games. He must be called up in September. It would be malpractice to not do it.
SS Oswald Peraza: 0-for-3
LF Taylor Trammell: 0-for-3, 2 K
1B T.J. Rumfield: 0-for-3, K
DH Carlos Narvaez: 0-for-3, K
C J.C. Escarra: 1-for-2, RS, K
RF Oscar Gonzalez: 0-for-2, K
2B Jahmai Jones: 0-for-1, BB

RHP Yoendrys Gomez: (L, 2-5) 3 IP, 3 H, 2 R, 1 ER, 1 BB, 4 K, HR
3.93 ERA (71 IP, 51 H, 33 R, 31 ER, 10 HR, 36 BB, 75 K). I thought Gomez was going to have a bigger MLB impact this season. I don’t know what 2025 holds, but I think he will be traded this winter.
LHP Oddanier Mosqueda: 1.1 IP, 2 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 3 K
LHP Victor Gonzalez: 1.1 IP, 3 H, 1 R, 1 ER, 0 BB, 1 K
RHP Ron Marinaccio: 1 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 2 K

Somerset (64-58) (Lost to Reading, 2-0. Portland won to take a 2.5-game lead in the second-half race)

3B Jon Berti: 1-for-3, K
Berti is 4-for-22 with a homer during his rehab stint.
   2B Anthony Seigler: 0-for-1, K
1B Anthony Rizzo: 0-for-3
Rizzo is 2-for-11 with a homer during his rehab stint.
   1B Tyler Hardman: 0-for-0, CS (2), BB
CF Spencer Jones: 1-for-4, 2 K
Jones has a 6-game hitting streak. You are correct if your perception is that Jones strikes out often when he doesn’t earn a hit. During this hitting streak, he is 11-for-23 with 8 strikeouts. During August, he is 29-for-88 (.330) with 9 walks and 37 strikeouts. His BABIP this month is well over .500. His profile is, to put it bluntly, equal parts crazy and baffling. 
C Rafael Flores: 0-for-3, BB, 2 K
LF Grant Richardson: 0-for-3, K
RF Cole Gabrielson: 0-for-3, K
DH Jared Wegner: 0-for-3, 2 K
SS Alexander Vargas: 1-for-3, CS (8), K
2B-3B Max Burt: 1-for-3, 2 K

RHP Cody Poteet: 3.2 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 6 K
During rehab: 0.96 ERA (9.1 IP, 5 H, 1 R, 1 ER, 1 BB, 11 K). Since lane discussions are the rage, there might not be a lane for Poteet in September. However, there is nothing wrong with having him in the minors for depth.
RHP Colby White: 1.1 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 3 K
3.81 ERA (28.1 IP, 22 H, 15 R, 12 ER, 3 HR, 21 BB, 36 K). The Yankees claimed him off waivers from the Rays back on May 9th. The Yankees designated him for assignment on May 20th but were able to keep him.
LHP Ben Shields: (L, 2-2)  4 IP, 4 H, 2 R, 2 ER, 1 BB, 3 K
Since promotion: 3.14 ERA (43 IP, 37 H, 18 R, 15 ER, 2 HR, 16 BB, 49 K). Overall, Shields is up to 97 IP (121/28 K/BB) in his debut season.

Hudson Valley (66-57) (Lost to Jersey Shore, 6-3. The BlueClaws are back within one game for the second-half title)

2B Roc Riggio: 0-for-4, BB, 2 K
He didn’t play last night after leaving the game early on Wednesday. He was back tonight.
SS George Lombard Jr.: 3-for-5, 2B (5), 2 RBI, K
Lombard Jr. has four straight multi-hit efforts and a 5-game hitting streak (he has one double in each game).  He started 1-for-28 at this level but is up to .209 (18-for-86). He is striking out at a lesser rate since joining Hudson Valley as well.
3B Josh Moylan: 1-for-5
RF Garrett Martin: 1-for-3, HBP, 2 K
DH Omar Martinez: 0-for-2, RS, 2 BB, K
CF Jackson Castillo: 0-for-4
LF Brendan Jones: 2-for-3, 2B (1), RBI, RS, BB, K
Jones is 8-for-28 (.286) since his promotion. Many of their 2024 draftees/undrafted free agents are off to solid starts, but Jones is standing out.
C Antonio Gomez: 0-for-4, 3 K
1B Kiko Romero: 0-for-2, RS, 2 BB

LHP Kyle Carr: (L, 1-8) 4 IP, 7 H, 6 R, 4 ER, 2 BB, 2 K
Record aside, Carr was pitching well recently before tonight’s effort. Season: 4.86 ERA (100 IP, 93 H, 66 R, 54 ER, 5 HR, 53 BB, 91 K)
RHP Blane Abeyta: 2 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 2 K
RHP Sebastian Keane: 2 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 2 K
4.73 ERA (80 IP, 73 H, 45 R, 42 ER, 7 HR, 41 BB, 81 K)

Tampa (51-69) (Defeated Bradenton, 9-6. I thought they were playing two games today, but I was mistaken. The doubleheader is scheduled for tomorrow)

SS Roderick Arias: 3-for-5, HR (12), 4 RBI, 2 RS, SB (32)
.230/.331/.385 in 517 PA (19 doubles, 7 triples, 12 HR, 71 RBI, 70 R, 32-for-45 SB, 12.2% BB, 31.3% K). There is a chance that Arias can get his K% below 30%, which would be amazing. When a player stays healthy and gets to the plate 517 times, it is easier for them to adjust. That is a part of my Baseball Prospects 101 course.
CF Willy Montero: 1-for-5, 2B (23), RBI, K
Montero is 24-for-88 (.273) in August with 8 doubles, a homer, and 12 RBI.
LF Tyler Wilson: 1-for-4, RS, BB
2B-3B Hans Montero: 2-for-5, 2B (8), RS
RF Dillon Lewis: 1-for-5
1B Parks Harber: 2-for-5, 2 2B (5), 2 RBI, RS, K
Harber is 16-for-61 (.262/.375/.459; 5 doubles, 2 triples, 1 HR, 14 RBI, 4-for-4 SB).
DH JoJo Jackson: 2-for-4, RS, 2 K
Jackson’s first career multi-hit effort.
3B-2B Owen Cobb: 1-for-4, RBI, 2 RS, BB
Cobb is 12-for-44 (3 doubles, 7 RBI, 10 R, 7-for-7 SB). The undrafted free agent signing played for Stanford, so he has big school pedigree.
C Diomedes Hernandez: 1-for-2, SF, RBI, RS, BB

RHP Bryce Warrecker: (W, 2-5)  5 IP, 4 H, 2 R, 2 ER, 1 BB, 2 K, HR
A solid performance for the 6’8″ Warrecker. 
LHP Rafelin Nivar: 0.1 IP, 1 H, 4 R, 4 ER, 4 BB, 1 K
RHP Luis Arejula: 1.2 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 0 K
2.81 ERA (51.1 IP, 41 H, 22 R, 16 ER, 3 HR, 24 BB, 47 K). This includes the 22-year-old’s stint for Hudson Valley, where he pitched pretty well.
RHP Jordy Luciano: 1 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 1 K
RHP Cade Austin (S, 1): 1 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 0 K
The 22-year-old earns his first career save. Season: 3.89 ERA (44 IP, 33 H, 22 R, 19 ER, 7 HR, 14 BB, 47 K)

FCL (35-22)

Yankees MILB 7/31: Jesus Rodriguez: HR, 4 RBI

News:

Brian Cashman said Jack Flaherty‘s medical records didn’t scare the Yankees. Without any evidence to support my theory, I think the Tigers and Yankees had a deal in place (whether the Cardinals were involved, who knows?). The Yankees saw the medicals and tried to amend the terms. The Tigers didn’t like the “secondary” prospects the Yankees switched to (which was confirmed by Bryan Hoch tonight I honestly wrote that sentence before Hoch’s tweet). If true, Cashman and Ken Rosenthal are at least partially telling the truth.

Regardless, the Yankees didn’t have a “wow” deadline. Hardly anyone did. Most of the best players rumored to be on the market went nowhere. While I wish the Yankees did more, this is a good thing. Why? Because I don’t think the Yankees would have been able to compete with other teams regarding prospect packages for top players. Do we think the Yankees had the chips for Tarik Skubal or Garrett Crochet? I don’t.

Scranton (57-45) (Squeaked past Louisville, 2-1)

CF Jasson Dominguez: 1-for-3, RS, BB
Dominguez’s hitting streak ended yesterday but he still owns a 12-game on-base streak.
  RF Aaron Palensky: 0-for-0
2B Jorbit Vivas: 2-for-4, RBI, RS, CS (5)
Vivas is 8-for-24 (.333) in his last six games.
SS Oswald Peraza: 2-for-4, 2B (8), HR (4), 3 RBI, RS, K
.242/.348/.336 in 248 PA. Entering July, his triple slash was .216/.336/.256.
1B T.J. Rumfield: 1-for-4, RS, K
Rumfield has a 5-game hitting streak and has hit safely in 8 of his last 9 games (12-for-36). 
RF-CF Taylor Trammell: 1-for-4, HR (8), 2 RBI, RS
1B J.C. Escarra: 0-for-1, 3 BB
3B Kevin Smith: 0-for-4, 3 K
DH Josh VanMeter: 0-for-2, RS, SB (4), 2 BB

LHP Josh Maciejewski: 2.2 IP, 1 H, 1 R, 1 ER, 3 BB, 2 K
The Railriders’ pitching staff may be running on fumes soon. They’ve had to adjust over the past week. Luckily, Edgar Barclay gave them some length on Tuesday.
LHP Oddanier Mosqueda (W, 6-0): 1.1 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 2 K
3.71 ERA (51 IP, 32 H, 25 R, 21 ER, 5 HR, 28 BB, 64 K). Under the old rules (didn’t have to face three batters, rosters expanding to 40), Mosqueda would be a September call-up candidate. He is holding left-handed hitters to a .118 batting average.
RHP Nick Burdi: 1 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 2 K
Burdi has options, so they can place him here after his rehab stint ends.
LHP Victor Gonzalez: 0.1 IP, 0 H, 1 R, 1 ER, 3 BB, 1 K
LHP Anthony Misiewicz: 1 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 1 K
LHP Tim Mayza: 1 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 1 K

Somerset (49-49) (Defeated Bowie, 13-12, in a crazy one. The Patriots had a 10-3 lead at one point)

3B Caleb Durbin: 0-for-3, 2 RS, 2 BB, K
Durbin is 2-for-17 with four walks and two strikeouts since being placed here.
  3B Alexander Vargas: 0-for-1, K
CF Spencer Jones: 2-for-4, 2B (16), SF, 3 RBI, BB, K
.240/.323/.412 in 384 PA (16 doubles, 3 triples, 12 HR, 54 RBI, 51 R, 21-for-26 SB, 10.4% BB, 36.7% K). July: .203/.297/.392.
C Jesus Rodriguez: 2-for-6, HR (3), 4 RBI, 2 RS, SB (1)
Rodriguez has homered in back-to-back games. Over his last three games, he has played 1B/3B/C, showing us his unique versatility profile. 
1B Rafael Flores: 3-for-6, 2B (4), HR (6), RBI, RS, 3 K
Since promotion: .239/.325/.440 in 123 PA with 4 doubles and 6 homers (3 HR in last 7 games).
DH Tyler Hardman: 0-for-3, SF, RBI, 2 RS, HBP
LF Grant Richardson: 3-for-3, RS, SB (11), HBP, BB
Richardson’s 5th 3+ hit game this season. 
2B Anthony Seigler: 0-for-4, RS, BB, 2 K
RF Jared Wegner: 0-for-2, RBI, RS, 3 BB, 2 K
SS Max Burt: 1-for-3, 2 RBI, 3 RS, SB (3), 2 BB, K

RHP Bailey Dees: 4 IP, 7 H, 6 R, 6 ER, 4 BB, 3 K, 3 HR
4.63 ERA (105 IP, 92 H, 59 R, 54 ER, 18 HR, 41 BB, 107 K). Dees’ gas tank may be closing in on empty. The reliever-to-starter transition isn’t easy.
RHP Jesus Liranzo (W, 5-1): 1 IP, 2 H, 2 R, 2 ER, 1 BB, 0 K
RHP Joey Gerber: 2 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 3 K
RHP Colby White: 1 IP, 2 H, 4 R, 3 ER, 1 BB, 1 K, HR
RHP Eric Reyzelman (S, 2): 1 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 2 K
A performance like this stands out in a wild scorefest. At this level: 2.89 ERA (9.1 IP, 6 H, 3 R, 3 ER, 5 BB, 15 K). With Jack Neely gone, Reyzelman is probably the top relief prospect in the system.

Hudson Valley (48-48) (Defeated Jersey Shore, 6-5. They scored 4 in the bottom of the 9th to win it)

2B Roc Riggio: 1-for-5, 2B (18), RS, K
RF Jace Avina: 0-for-3, K
   RF Nelson Medina: 0-for-0, RS, HBP, BB
3B Josh Moylan: 2-for-4, 2B (10), 3 RBI, BB
Moylan hit a game-winning 3-run single in the bottom of the 9th (the third run scored on an error). He is hitting .252/.372/.372 in 301 PA and has three straight multi-hit games. The most important thing is that his power is starting to show up.
C Omar Martinez: 1-for-3, 2B (11), BB
.229/.363/.399 in 331 PA (11 doubles, 1 triple, 11 HR, 34 RBI, 37 R).

SS Brenny Escanio: 1-for-4, K

LHP Kyle Carr: 5 IP, 4 H, 2 R, 2 ER, 1 BB, 6 K
5.61 ERA (77 IP, 77 H, 57 R, 48 ER, 5 HR, 45 BB, 70 K). Last 3 starts: 15 IP, 7 H, 3 R, 3 ER, 5 BB, 15 K. Carr appears to be adjusting…
RHP Yorlin Calderon: 1 IP, 5 H, 3 R, 3 ER, 0 BB, 1 K, HR
RHP Cole Ayers: 2 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 2 K
3.15 ERA (54.1 IP, 46 H, 23 R, 19 ER, 5 HR, 20 BB, 66 K)

RHP Bryce Warrecker (W, 1-3): 5 IP, 3 H, 1 R, 0 ER, 1 BB, 3 K
Warrecker’s first career win- congrats (he has only 13 starts, and this was the first time they let him qualify for a win!)
RHP Matt Givin: 1 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 1 K
RHP Montana Semmel (S, 6): 1 IP, 2 H, 1 R, 1 ER, 1 BB, 1 K

Game 2 (Lost, 12-5)

SS George Lombard Jr.: 1-for-4, HR (5), 2 RBI, RS, K
Lombard Jr. was in a 4-for-29 slump before his homer. He is hitting .232 with a .702 OPS and 4 of his 5 homers were hit in July.
2B Roderick Arias: 1-for-3, BB, K
Arias finishes 22-for-78 in July (.282) with five doubles and a pair of homers. He walked 13 times and struck out 20 times (41 strikeouts in June).
1B Dylan Jasso: 0-for-2, RBI, 2 BB, 2 K

RHP Luis Serna: (L, 2-6)  1 IP, 5 H, 4 R, 4 ER, 0 BB, 1 K
Luis, the cousin of Jared Serna (traded yesterday), left tonight’s game due to an injured elbow.
RHP Osiel Rodriguez: 2 IP, 3 H, 1 R, 1 ER, 1 BB, 3 K
2.59 ERA (48.2 IP, 27 H, 15 R, 14 ER, 7 HR, 25 BB, 59 K)
RHP Kristofer Bow: 0 IP, 1 H, 4 R, 4 ER, 2 BB, 0 K
Bow’s first appearance since June 15th. Tonight’s results aren’t what he wanted, but at least he is back.
LHP Rafelin Nivar: 1.2 IP, 3 H, 1 R, 1 ER, 3 BB, 3 K
RHP Yoljeldriz Diaz: 1.1 IP, 2 H, 2 R, 2 ER, 2 BB, 3 K
