Yankees MILB 9/14: Ben Rice Homers Twice

News: Nothing Scranton (82-59) (Mauled Lehigh Valley, 10-1.

I don’t know what the Yankees plan to do with […]

Yankees MILB 7/14: George Lombard Jr.: 2 Doubles

News RHP JT Brubaker has an oblique injury, which will temporarily shut down his rehab stint. As for where the system is at the midway point, it is a mixed bag that leans slightly towards disappointment. Some of that is due to injuries. Some of it is because we don’t have Drew Thorpe throwing 7 shutout innings […]

Yankees MILB 7/10: Ben Shields Dazzles Again

News: The Yankees have signed LHP Tim Mayza to a minor league contract. Mayza pitched in 352 games from 2017-2024 with the Blue Jays, compiling a 3.87 ERA (3.63 FIP; 111 ERA+) in 283.2 innings.

Yankees MILB 7/6: Agustin Ramirez Homers Again

News: There’s some time off coming up for the system. First, they are off on Sunday and Monday. Then, after a full week of games Tuesday-Sunday, they take four days off for the MLB All-Star Break (they don’t play minor league All-Star games anymore, other than the Futures Game). This only applies to full-season leagues. […]

Yankees MILB 7/5: Ben Cowles’ Big Day

News: RHP Phil Bickford rejected an outright assignment a few days ago. Today, he re-signed with the Yankees. Veterans often do this to earn extra money on minor league deals if they can’t secure an MLB opportunity elsewhere. Scranton (47-37)  (Defeated Lehigh Valley, 7-4) CF Brandon Lockridge: 1-for-3, SAC, CS (3) .293/.406/.389 in 189 PA. I can’t […]

Yankees MILB 7/1: Roc Riggio Continues Hot Streak

News: Typically speaking, full-season leagues have Monday off. Not this week. Rather, they will play a Monday – Saturday schedule with Sunday off. That means they will get both Sunday and Monday off next week. RHP Chase Hampton, who I assumed may not pitch in 2024, threw a rehab game for the FCL today.  I […]

Yankees MILB 6/23: Carlos Narvaez Goes 5-for-5

News: The Yankees acquired 1B/3B J.D. Davis (and cash) from the Oakland Athletics for IF Jordan Groshans. The money will likely cover most (if not all) of what remains on Davis’ 1-year deal. It isn’t much. Davis is hitting .236/.304/.366 (98 wRC+) in 135 PA. He has four home runs and five runs batted in. Interesting. The defensive metrics […]

Yankees MILB 6/13: Brock Selvidge Ks 9

News: OF Everson Pereira was placed on the full-season injured list by Scranton. As you might be able to guess, that means he is done for the year. Pereira will end the season at .265/.346/.512 (118 wRC+) in 182 PA for Scranton. He swatted 10 home runs and drove in 27. However, his strikeout rate was […]

Yankees MILB 5/9: Roderick Arias: 3B, 2 RBI, 2 R

News: RHP Nick Burdi is heading to Tampa to join the Yankees, while Ron Marinaccio (who has pitched well) was sent back down to Scranton. Marinaccio was on a similar shuttle in 2022, seemingly sent down at moments when he was pitching well. His 2023 season was not up to par, but he has bounced back in 2024. […]
