Yankees MILB 5/31: Dillon Lewis’ Hot May Ends with a Homer

Notes: A lot of roster assignments in the DSL today in anticipation of their openers on Monday. I say openers because the Yankees have two Dominican Summer League (DSL) teams. If you are new to this, they do play each other during the season. One unique feature of the DSL is that the rosters do […]

Yankees MILB 5/25: George Lombard Jr. Reaches Base 4 Times

Notes: The Yankees elected not to add Cooper Hummel to the 26-man roster.  He is now a free agent. LHP Brock Selvidge‘s rehab was moved from the FCL to Tampa. Injury Log Scranton (22-26) Their game against Nashville was cancelled and won’t be made up. T.J. Rumfield homered before the rain started, but it won’t count. Somerset (22-22) (Lost to […]

Yankees MILB 5/22: Griffin Herring Dazzles (6 IP, 0 H, 10 K)

Notes: Cooper Hummel has exercised an opt-out clause in his contract and will become a free agent if the Yankees don’t add him to their 26-man roster. I find that unlikely, as his MLB career (.159/.255/.275 in 82 games) hardly inspires confidence. Furthermore, he is primarily an outfielder, which the Yankees don’t need. I wouldn’t cry […]

Yankees MILB 5/21: Roc Riggio’s Big Night

Notes: RHP Greysen Carter, the hard thrower with no idea where the ball is going, was sent to the FCL today. Carter, who hit 100+ MPH earlier this season, made seven starts for Tampa, going 1-3 with a 6.75 ERA over 24 innings with a 20.2% K and 21.8% BB. RHP J.T. Etheridge replaces Carter on […]

Yankees MILB 5/9: George Lombard Jr.’s Multi-Hit Effort

Notes: OF Jace Avina was placed on the 7-day injured list for Hudson Valley. The 21-year-old, acquired in December 2023 from the Brewers along with OF Brian Sanchez for OF Jake Bauers, is hitting .308/.443/.418 (154 wRC+) with a 15.7% BB and 22.6% K.

Yankees MILB 5/4: Rafael Flores Has a Big Day

Notes: I receive this question often and typically answer it once per year: The Baseball Reference linker has a mind of its own when it comes to linking players with the same name. Is it weird that the linker matches Spencer Jones to a 25-year-old graduated Washington State left-handed pitcher who posted a 6.52 career ERA? Yes.  […]

Yankees MILB 5/3: George Lombard Jr. is Scorching

Notes: Will the Yankees dodge a bullet with Clarke Schmidt? “Soreness in the side” is scary, but I hope so. The Yankees lack rotation depth. This should not come as a surprise to people who read these reports. The Triple-A rotation consists of prospects Zach Messinger and Sean Boyle, along with veterans Allan Winans, Brandon Leibrandt, Erick Leal, and Jake […]
