Yankees MILB 7/29: Elmer Rodriguez-Cruz Tosses 6 Scoreless Innings

Notes: In case you missed them, here is my article on the Ryan McMahon transaction and my analysis of the Amed Rosario transaction. Antonio Gomez was assigned to Tampa today. The catcher-turned-pitcher was on the Development List. He made his first appearance on the hill tonight, maxing out at 99.9 MPH. LHP Henry Lalane‘s rehab assignment is […]

Yankees MILB 7/24: Spencer Jones Launches 3 Home Runs

Notes: RHP Cade Smith is off the injured list as he pitched for Hudson Valley tonight. Smith was ranked 18th in the recent Pipeline update (again, it wasn’t a full update – but rather a reshuffle for the Trade Deadline). He was drafted in the 6th round in 2023 after spending 2022 and 2023 as the […]

Yankees MILB 7/18: Brendan Beck: 5 Hitless Innings

Notes: In case you missed it (or you want to read it for the 50th time), I wrote up a mid-season review of the Yankees’ system. OF Spencer Jones was missing from tonight’s Scranton lineup. That raises an eyebrow because the Railriders just had four days off. As I said last week, being out of a […]

Yankees MILB 7/12: George Lombard Jr.’s Futures Game Performance

Notes: George Lombard Jr. went 1-for-2 with a double, an RBI, a stolen base, and a run scored in today’s Futures Game. He played second base and shortstop. A reminder that full-season affiliates take the same four days off as their MLB counterparts. Tomorrow is their last game until next Friday. Injury Log Scranton (51-37; […]

Yankees MILB 7/11: The Spencer Jones Show Continues

Notes: From an article on The Athletic, the Yankees are transitioning former top catching prospect Antonio Gomez to pitching. Gomez, who is already Rule 5 eligible, supposedly is touching 100 MPH during workouts. In my opinion, which was wrong (though I don’t mind admitting it), Gomez was the most intriguing catching prospect they had a few years […]

Yankees MILB 7/6: Spencer Jones Launches a Bomb

Notes: The Yankees traded veteran catcher Alex Jackson to the Orioles for international bonus pool money. Yesterday, the Yankees released Ronaldo Hernandez. Their catching depth has taken a (minor) hit, but they are comfortable with Ben Rice. Their Scranton depth now consists of Jesus Rodriguez and Edinson Duran, a 22-year-old who has appeared in three games this season. Rafael Flores and Omar Martinez provide […]

Yankees MILB 6/20: Spencer Jones Continues Surge

Notes: Utilityman Pablo Reyes rejected his outright assignment and is a free agent. The Yankees have enough veteran utility types, so no big deal. Reyes didn’t have enough service time (2.096 years – you must have three) to reject the assignment, but another part of the rule states that you can reject it if you have […]

Yankees MILB 6/18: Roc Riggio, Spencer Jones Homer

Notes: Utilityman Pablo Reyes was outrighted to Scranton after clearing waivers. As a general reminder, I am not a scout. I don’t work for the Yankees. When I hype up someone like Jesus Rodriguez, I can’t tell you how the Yankees feel about him internally. Guess what? Nobody who writes or talks about these guys has any […]

Yankees MILB 6/15: Brennen Davis Homers Again

Notes: SS Santiago Gomez was promoted from the FCL to Tampa today. The 21-year-old (yes, he was old for the FCL) was hitting .273/.356/.325 with a homer and 12 RBI in 90 plate appearances. Additionally, he stole 13 bases in 14 attempts. Last season, in 95 plate appearances, he put together a .321/.421/.420 line. From what […]

Yankees MILB 6/5: Jesus Rodriguez Reaches Base 5 Times

Notes: RHP Justin Lange (remember him?) started a rehab assignment today in the FCL. Acquired by the Yankees from the Padres for 1B Luke Voit (remember him?) back in 2022, Lange has dealt with wildness and injuries during his Yankees tenure. Today was his first appearance since August 29, 2023. He split time with Tampa and Hudson Valley […]
