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 […]

Yankees MILB 8/2: Francisco Vilorio Homers Twice

News: Since the Olympics are front and center, the last few days with the “thrill of victory” (promotions) and the “agony of defeat” (releases). It’s the unfortunate reality of prospect-watching. The releases are RHP Montana Semmel, RHP Nicio Rodriguez, RHP Nick Paciorek, 3B Beau Brewer, and CF Nelson Medina. There are other players down in the FCL/DSL, as […]

Yankees MILB 7/27: Josh Grosz Dominates

News: Nothing to report. Just kidding. The Yankees acquired IF/OF Jazz Chisholm Jr. from the Marlins today for three prospects – C/1B Agustin Ramirez, 2B/SS Jared Serna, and IF Abrahan Ramirez. The most significant prospect is Agustin Ramirez, who blossomed into arguably the best Yankees minor league bat over the past two seasons. Between Somerset and Scranton this […]

Yankees MILB 7/21: Cade Smith Ks 8 in 5 Innings

News: We are closing in on the trade deadline. I will watch closely to see if any prospect gets pulled out of a game over the next week. Today, I noted on Twitter that George Lombard Jr. has played third base and Roderick Arias has played shortstop in all three games since the All-Star Break. Is this […]

Yankees MILB 7/12: Cam Schlittler Dazzles

News: 2B/3B Jorbit Vivas was promoted to the Yankees today as 1B/3B J.D. Davis went on the injured list. How much will Vivas be used? Who knows? Because Davis’ IL stint is retroactive, he will be eligible to return right after the All-Star Break. Vivas may only be here for three games. However, if he isn’t […]

Yankees MILB 6/29: Cam Schlittler Ks 7

News: C/1B Josh Breaux was released. The 2nd round pick in the 2018 draft showed off his trademark power at times (69 HR, .457 SLG in 326 games) but the rest of his game didn’t develop. Injuries didn’t help in his progression. C/1B Josue Gonzalez was moved from the FCL to Tampa. After a spectacular 2023 […]

Yankees MILB 6/2: Spencer Jones: 2B, RBI

News: RHP Gerrit Cole, a good #6 starter, will start his first rehab in Somerset on Tuesday. Scranton (34-23) (Lost to Toledo, 7-2) 2B Brandon Lockridge: 2-for-2, 3B (2), RS, SB (21) .276/.404/.371.

Yankees MILB 5/26: Cam Schlittler Dominates

News: RHP Matt Sauer was returned to the Yankees after he cleared waivers. Chosen by the surprising Royals in the Rule 5, Sauer went 0-0 with a 7.71 ERA in 14 games (16.1 IP). His rate numbers were not great (13.1% BB/10.7% K/31.7% GB). The Royals would have likely accepted that if they weren’t playing so […]
