My thoughts on Core Jackson.

I will be in Yankee Stadium tomorrow. Contrary to popular belief, I don’t carry my laptop everywhere to do these reports. I am just a loser who is always at home. Anyway, tomorrow’s report will be delayed.

Injury Log

Scranton (80-53; 42-19 in second half) (Lost to Worcester, 7-4)

Syracuse split a doubleheader against Buffalo and is now four games back. Teams trying to hang in there include Toledo, Indianapolis, and Lehigh Valley. Scranton owns a solid lead over Lehigh Valley, but they do play a 6-game series next week. The season ends on September 21.

2B Jorbit Vivas: 0-for-4
1B T.J. Rumfield: 1-for-3, R, BB, K
CF Spencer Jones: 1-for-3, HR (17), RBI, 2 R, BB, 2 K
Jones is up to 33 home runs, the first to do so since Peter O’Brien in 2014. The last Yankees’ farmhand to reach 34 was Shelley Duncan in 2005. The last Yankee to hit more than 34 was the legendary Mitch Jones, who crushed 39 Double-A (Trenton) home runs as a 26-year-old in 2004. FYI: Jones is a good Immaculate Grid candidate. He played in eight games for the 2009 Dodgers, going 4-for-13 (.308) with a double. That was his only taste of big league action.
DH Jose Rojas: 2-for-3, 2B (35), RBI, R, BB, K
RF Brennen Davis: 1-for-4, 2B (4), RBI, 2 K
3B Jeimer Candelario: 1-for-4, RBI
SS Braden Shewmake: 0-for-4, 2 K
C Omar Martinez: 1-for-4, 2 K
Martinez is hitting .210/.306/.306 in 72 PA since his promotion.
LF Duke Ellis: 1-for-3, SB (33), CS (7), K
   LF Ismael Munguia: 0-for-1

RHP Brendan Beck: (L, 7-3)  4.2 IP, 7 H, 7 R, 7 ER, 4 BB, 5 K
At this level: 4.91 ERA (70.2 IP, 61 H, 43 R, 43 ER, 12 HR, 25 BB, 63 K). Beck was brilliant last time out (7 IP, 1 H, 1 R, 1 BB, 9 K), but didn’t have it tonight.
RHP Scott Effross: 1.1 IP, 2 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 0 K
RHP Jake Bird: 1 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 1 K
RHP Harrison Cohen: 1 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 1 K
Since promotion: 1.80 ERA (25 IP, 12 H, 5 R, 5 ER, 0 HR, 13 BB, 25 K). Cohen allowed five homers in 52.1 innings in his 2023 debut campaign. He has allowed two in 74 innings since.

Somerset (68-62; 33-28 in second half) (Shut down New Hampshire, 4-0. New Hampshire isn’t good and Somerset is taking advantage.)

Hartford (1.5 games back) is leading their game while Portland (3 games back) lost.

Somerset’s season ends on September 14th.

CF Brendan Jones: 0-for-2, RBI, SB (19), 2 BB
Jones is hitting .242/.361/.419 at this level and has 42 stolen bases in 50 attempts overall.
SS George Lombard Jr.: 1-for-3, 2B (20), RBI, SB (22), BB, 2 K
Lombard Jr. has three extra-base hits (2 doubles, 1 HR) in four September games and is on a 5-game hitting streak (6-for-18; 2 doubles, 1 HR, 5 RBI, 1 BB, 3-for-3 SB). His Double-A triple slash reads .214/.336/.359. An adage says that current doubles often become future home runs as a prospect matures. I don’t think people say that much anymore, but we are seeing those doubles pile up for Lombard Jr.
RF Jace Avina: 0-for-3, BB, K
3B Dylan Jasso: 0-for-4, 2 K
LF Jackson Castillo: 2-for-3, 2B (2), HR (2), RBI, R, BB
Castillo has a much-needed night. It’s been a tough go for him since his promotion.
1B Tyler Hardman: 0-for-3, BB, K
DH Garrett Martin: 0-for-2, R, SB (19), BB, K
C Manuel Palencia: 1-for-3, R, SB (1), K
Palencia is 13-for-57 (.228) at this level. 
2B Jake Gatewood: 1-for-2, R, SB (2), BB

RHP Carlos Lagrange: (W, 6-6)  5 IP, 2 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 10 K
The formula seems “simple”: Low walks = strong outing. If you look at his game log, it should be no surprise when you see the correlation (though, thanks to his elite stuff, he is sometimes able to prevent runs even when he doesn’t have his control). At this level: 3.48 ERA (72.2 IP, 50 H, 31 R, 28 ER, 4 HR, 48 BB, 99 K).  Overall, he owns a 163/60 K/BB over 114 innings, and this outing pushes him past teammate Elmer Rodriguez-Cruz for second place in strikeouts amongst all minor league pitchers. The leader (Jonah Tong) is now in Queens, but it’s going to be hard to catch him (he has 179, and Lagrange has only one more start). Anyway, isn’t it cool to have two Yankees farmhands high on the list?
RHP Mason Vinyard: 1 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 2 K
RHP Indigo Diaz: 1 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 0 K
RHP Kelly Austin: 1 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 1 K
RHP Zach Messinger: 1 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 0 K

Hudson Valley (78-49; 40-23 second half) (Defeated Greensboro, 3-1)

I didn’t even think we would get this far: Hudson Valley needs to win on Saturday and Sunday to overtake Greensboro for the second-half title. Adding to the drama is the rain in tomorrow’s forecast. I assume they would try to play two on Sunday if a rainout happens. You know where assuming gets you.

3B Juan Matheus: 3-for-5, 2 2B (9), K
Matheus is up to .287 at this level thanks to a surge that includes back-to-back 3-hit efforts. He is on a 6-game hitting streak (12-for-24). You know you are hot when you average two hits per game during a hitting streak. As for the doubles, he is up to 32 in 121 games between here and Tampa. 
CF Dillon Lewis: 0-for-3, SB (11), HBP, K
Lewis is 25-for-27 stealing bases between here and Tampa.
DH Core Jackson: 0-for-4, RBI, 2 K
SS Kaeden Kent: 0-for-4, K
1B Josh Moylan: 0-for-3, R, BB, 3 K
C Engelth Urena: 3-for-4, R
Urena had a pair of hits two nights ago as he tries to end his season on a good note.
RF Camden Troyer: 2-for-4, 2 RBI
Troyer is hitting .261 (18-for-69; 8 RBI, 11 BB, 11 K).
2B Connor McGinnis: 0-for-3, BB, K
LF Luis Durango: 1-for-3, R, SB (17), BB, K

RHP Andrew Landry: (W, 3-4)  6 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 2 BB, 8 K
What a performance by Landry. Since his promotion: 3.95 ERA (43.1 IP, 30 H, 19 R, 19 ER, 2 HR, 25 BB, 39 K). Overall, Landry finishes his second professional season with a 4.34 ERA in 112 innings (107 H, 63 R, 54 ER, 7 HR, 52 BB, 105 K). Always keep in mind that my “final stats” assume players won’t move up to levels that still have games next week. I doubt Landry goes to Somerset, however.
RHP Matt Keating: 2 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 2 K
RHP Tony Rossi: (S, 9) 1 IP, 1 H, 1 R, 1 ER, 2 BB, 1 K
The ninth inning was an adventure, but Rossi got out of the jam.

Tampa (62-63; 26-34 in the second half)

Their game against Clearwater was canceled due to rain and will not be made up.

The weekend has further thunderstorm chances, but hopefully they can get at least one of their final two games in as they try to finish at or above .500.

FCL (28-30)

Their season is over.

DSL Yankees (24-32)

Their season is over.

DSL Bombers (31-25)

Their season is over.

My thoughts on Core Jackson.

Nothing to report. Maybe they move someone from Hudson Valley to Somerset for the final week of the Double-A season, but, for the most part, I wouldn’t expect newsworthy items over the final few weeks.

Injury Log

Scranton (78-52; 40-18 in second half) (Outlasted Worcester, 8-7. The Railriders were down, 5-0, entering the top of the 6th. A 7-run 7th inning was the key to the comeback.)

Syracuse lost, so Scranton owns a 4-game lead over the Mets for the second-half crown. Toledo also lost, so they are five games out. The season ends on September 21.

LF Austin Slater: 1-for-3, R, BB, 2 K
Slater still has yet to play a full game in the field. For now, J.C. Escarra is with the big club.
   PH-LF Ismael Munguia: 1-for-1, 2B (11)
2B Jorbit Vivas: 2-for-5, 2B (15), 3 RBI, R, K
Vivas has five 3-RBI efforts this season. 
CF Spencer Jones: 1-for-5, 2B (10), 2 RBI, 4 K
A big 2-run double in the middle of his four-strikeout night.
DH Brennen Davis: 1-for-4, RBI, R, HBP, 2 K
   PR-DH Duke Ellis: 0-for-0
1B T.J. Rumfield: 1-for-5, K
RF Bryan De La Cruz: 1-for-4, R, K
3B Jeimer Candelario: 1-for-3, RBI, R, BB, K
C Omar Martinez: 1-for-4, R, K
SS Braden Shewmake: 1-for-4, 3B (4), RBI, R, K

RHP Sean Boyle: 4 IP, 7 H, 5 R, 5 ER, 1 BB, 6 K, 2 HR
RHP Jake Bird: 1 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 0 K
RHP Wilking Rodriguez: (W, 2-1) 1 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 3 K
3.80 ERA (21.1 IP, 16 H, 10 R, 9 ER, 3 HR, 20 BB, 31 K)
RHP Harrison Cohen: 1.2 IP, 1 H, 1 R, 1 ER, 1 BB, 2 K
At this level: 1.88 ERA (24 IP, 12 H, 5 R, 5 ER, 0 HR, 13 BB, 24 K)
RHP Kervin Castro: (S, 4) 1.1 IP, 1 H, 1 R, 1 ER, 0 BB, 0 K

Somerset (65-62; 30-28 in second half) (Shut down New Hampshire, 1-0)

Hartford (0.5 games back) and Portland (1.5 games back) also won.

Somerset’s season ends on September 14th.

CF Brendan Jones: 0-for-2, R, 2 BB, K
Jones has a 14.9% walk rate since his promotion. 
SS George Lombard Jr.: 2-for-4, 2B (19), RBI, SB (20), K
With two outs in the bottom of the 8th, Jones drew a walk, followed by a Lombard Jr. double to score the game’s only run.  
LF Jace Avina: 0-for-4, 2 K
DH Dylan Jasso: 0-for-3
1B Tyler Hardman: 0-for-3
RF Jackson Castillo: 1-for-3
Castillo has a big extra-inning home run on his Double-A resume, but it has otherwise been a struggle (7-for-49; 1 double, 1 HR, 4 RBI, 3 R, 4 BB, 14 K)
3B Jake Gatewood: 0-for-3, K
C Manuel Palencia: 0-for-3, K
2B Duncan Pastore: 1-for-3

RHP Elmer Rodriguez-Cruz: 6 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 8 K
For Somerset: 2.81 ERA (51.1 IP, 38 H, 19 R, 16 ER, 2 HR, 16 BB, 59 K). Overall, the 22-year-old owns a 2.47 ERA in 135 innings (90 H, 46 R, 37 ER, 3 HR, 53 BB, 158 K).  Rodriguez-Cruz slowed down in his previous three starts (11 runs in 13.1 innings, though the strikeout rate was still strong), so it is nice to see him bounce back tonight.
RHP Baron Stuart (W, 1-2): 2 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 1 K
RHP Carson Coleman (S, 2): 1 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 1 K
Not the most important number ever, but Coleman is 26-for-30 (86.7%) converting saves in his minor league career.

Hudson Valley (76-48; 38-22 second half) (Shut down Greensboro, 4-0)

I missed a half-game somewhere. Instead of pulling within two games of Greensboro’s lead, Hudson Valley is now 2.5 games out with five games to go. Does it matter?  No. They will still need to go 4-1 the rest of the week to take the second-half championship.

3B Juan Matheus: 1-for-4, RBI, CS (2), BB, K
At this level: .239/.356/.352 in 104 PA (14.4% BB; 19.2% K).
CF Dillon Lewis: 0-for-4
2B Core Jackson: 0-for-3, BB, K
SS Kaeden Kent: 1-for-4, R
C Engelth Urena: 2-for-4, 2B (3), RBI, R
As noted previously, Urena has been struggling since his promotion. This is his first multi-hit game as a member of the Renegades. Let’s see if he can finish off the season with a little hot streak.
1B Josh Moylan: 0-for-2, R, 2 BB, K
RF Camden Troyer: 0-for-3, R, BB, K
DH Connor McGinnis: 1-for-3, RBI, BB, 2 K
8-for-44 (.182) with six walks and 14 strikeouts.
LF Luis Durango: 1-for-2, SAC, BB

RHP Brandon Decker: (W, 2-1)  5 IP, 2 H, 0 R, 3 BB, 6 K
4.39 ERA (26.2 IP, 22 H, 14 R, 13 ER, 1 HR, 12 BB, 34 K). A clutch performance by the 23-year-old.
RHP Brady Kirtner: 2 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 2 K
RHP Matt Keating: 1 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 1 K
2.68 ERA (47 IP, 34 H, 17 R, 14 ER, 1 HR, 25 BB, 56 K)
RHP Tony Rossi: 1 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 3 K
For Hudson Valley: 2.45 ERA (36.2 IP, 15 H, 10 R, 10 ER, 0 HR, 24 BB, 51 K). 

Tampa (60-62; 24-33 in the second half) (Lost to Clearwater, 6-5, in ten innings)

This officially eliminates them from the second-half title chase. The season ends on Sunday.

SS Dax Kilby: 2-for-4, 3B (2), RBI, 2 R, 2 SB (12), 2 BB
Kilby has caught on quickly to Low-A. The 18-year-old is hitting .333 (18-for-54) with a pair of doubles and triples to go along with his 12-for-13 stolen base rate. Additionally, he has more walks (10) than strikeouts (6) and has multiple hits in seven of his last nine games. Will he start 2026 in High-A? I doubt it, but a quick promotion is possible.
3B Roderick Arias: 0-for-5, RBI, BB, K
2025 will likely be remembered as a lost season for Arias. It may also end his prospect status.
2B Enmanuel Tejeda: 1-for-4, RBI, R, BB
CF Marshall Toole: 1-for-5, RBI, SB (43), K
I hope he can maintain his .300 average in the final week. He has some cushion (.307). He is 43-for-49 stealing bases.
LF Eric Genther: 1-for-2, 2B (4), 2 BB
DH Richie Bonomolo Jr.: 1-for-3, 2B (4), RBI, SB (5), 2 BB, K
Bonomolo tied the game in the top of the 9th with a walk.
RF Willy Montero: 0-for-4, BB, 2 K
1B Hans Montero: 0-for-5, 3 K
C Josue Gonzalez: 1-for-3, R, SB (13)
   PH Bryce Martin-Grudzielanek: 0-for-1
   C Ediel Rivera: 0-for-0, HBP

RHP Edinzo Marquez: 4 IP, 4 H, 4 R, 3 ER, 4 BB, 0 K
RHP Josh Tiedemann: 2 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 3 BB, 0 K
RHP Cole Zaffiro: 0.1 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 1 K
RHP Jordarlin Mendoza: 1.2 IP, 1 H, 1 R, 1 ER, 0 BB, 0 K
Mendoza has some life on his fastball, reaching 97.2 MPH (averaged 95.6). He also flashed an impressive sinker that reached 96 MPH.
RHP Chris Veach: (L, 2-4)  1.2 IP, 1 H, 1 R, 0 ER, 0 BB, 1 K

FCL (28-30)

Their season is over.

DSL Yankees (24-32)

2B Jorbit Vivas: 0-for-4, BB
CF Spencer Jones: 0-for-2, SF, RBI, 2 SB (10), CS (1), 2 BB, K
Jones accomplishes his first career 20/20 season (29 HR, 20 SB). 
1B T.J. Rumfield: 1-for-4, R, BB
Rumfield has hit safely in 17 of his last 19 games. 
  PR Ismael Munguia: 0-for-0
DH J.C. Escarra: 0-for-4, R, BB
This is Escarra’s first appearance since his demotion. You feel bad for him, but numbers crunches are real.
3B Jeimer Candelario: 1-for-4, RBI, K
LF Jose Rojas: 0-for-3, BB
SS Braden Shewmake: 1-for-3, SF, RBI, R, K
RF Duke Ellis: 1-for-4, R, SB (18), 2 K
Ellis has a 6-game hitting streak. This is the first non-multi-hit game during the streak.
C Omar Martinez: 1-for-4, RBI, R, 2 K

RHP Sean Boyle: 5.2 IP, 3 H, 0 R, 2 BB, 5 K
Until Ryan Yarbrough comes back, there can be a battle down here for who the #6 starter is. Boyle owns a 4.32 ERA in 98 innings (88 H, 54 R, 47 ER, 11 HR, 33 BB, 97 K). 
RHP Kervin Castro: 1.2 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 1 K
1.44 ERA (31.1 IP, 15 H, 8 R, 5 ER, 1 HR, 14 BB, 41 K). Almost feels meaningless to report on relief pitchers right now!
LHP Jayvien Sandridge (L, 2-1): 1 IP, 1 H, 3 R, 3 ER, 1 BB, 1 K
RHP Joel Kuhnel: 0 IP, 4 H, 4 R, 4 ER, 0 BB, 0 K
RHP Scott Effross: 0.2 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 0 K

Somerset (54-47; 19-13 in second half) (Defeated Richmond, 3-1)

3B George Lombard Jr.: 0-for-3, R, SB (15), HBP
Lombard Jr.’s first stolen base since June 27th. Just one of those things.
CF Jace Avina: 0-for-2, 2 BB
Avina has ten walks in 14 games since his promotion. He is hitting .245/.373/.429.
1B Dylan Jasso: 2-for-4, RBI, 2 K
.280/.344/.456 in 390 PA (14 doubles, 6 triples, 12 HR, 52 RBI, 53 R, 7.2% BB, 21.5% K). Jasso has seven multi-hit efforts in his last ten games.

3.90 ERA (80.2 IP, 67 H, 38 R, 35 ER, 8 HR, 39 BB, 94 K)
RHP Mark Leiter Jr.: 1 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 0 K
Leiter Jr. could join the team in Texas. My guess is that Brent Headrick is the next reliever to go down to Scranton.
RHP Danny Watson: 2 IP, 2 H, 1 R, 1 ER, 0 BB, 2 K
6.16 ERA (38 IP, 47 H, 27 R, 26 ER, 6 HR, 7 BB, 40 K).  His streak of walkless appearances is up to 18.
RHP Indigo Diaz (S, 4): 1 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 0 K

Hudson Valley (60-38; 22-12 second half) (Lost to Wilmington, 3-0)

LF Jackson Castillo: 0-for-3, SB (20), BB, K
Castillo is 20-for-21 stealing bases this year and 43-for-50 in his career. 
CF Dillon Lewis: 0-for-3, SB (8), BB
Meanwhile, Lewis is 21-for-23 stealing bases this year and 24-for-26 in his career.
DH Coby Morales: 0-for-3, BB, K
2B Jose Colmenares: 0-for-3, BB, K
1B Josh Moylan: 1-for-3, BB, K
SS Alexander Vargas: 0-for-4
His long hitting streak feels like it happened 20 years ago. He is in a 2-for-45 slump. Oof.
C John Cristino: 0-for-4, 3 K
3B Brenny Escanio: 0-for-3, K
RF Anthony Hall: 2-for-3, 2B (6)

LHP Kyle Carr (L, 4-6): 6.2 IP, 7 H, 3 R, 3 ER, 2 BB, 4 K, HR
2.30 ERA (94 IP, 66 H, 33 R, 24 ER, 6 HR, 40 BB, 80 K). Carr was cruising into the 7th inning, where all three Wilmington runs scored. This was the first time Carr allowed more than one earned run in a game since May 27th. 
RHP Chris Kean: 1.1 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 4 K
3.58 ERA (32.2 IP, 30 H, 15 R, 13 ER, 4 HR, 13 BB, 33 K)

Tampa (47-50; 11-21 in the second half)  (Defeated Lakeland, 8-3)

3B Juan Matheus: 2-for-5, HR (2), RBI, 2 R
Matheus led the game off with a homer. He is on a 6-game hitting streak and is hitting .262/.356/.352 in 382 PA (21 doubles, 1 triples,2 HR, 41 RBI, 49 R, 35-for-43 SB).
2B Enmanuel Tejeda: 1-for-5, RBI, R, 2 K
Tejeda is 7-for-26 (.269) with two doubles and a homer since returning from his rehab. He is on a 6-game hitting streak.
SS Roderick Arias: 2-for-4, 2B (13), RBI, 2 R, SB (23), K
.193/.313/.302 in 337 PA with 23 stolen bases in 29 attempts. He has still not finished a day this season with a batting average of .200 or better.
C Engelth Urena: 2-for-4, HR (9), 3 RBI, R, K
Urena sets a personal best for home runs in a season. He is hitting .207/.331/.332 in 393 PA
LF Wilson Rodriguez: 0-for-3, RBI, BB, K
CF Willy Montero: 0-for-3, BB
DH Tyler Wilson: 0-for-4
RF Marshall Toole: 2-for-4, HR (3), RBI, 2 R, K
.305/.413/.491 in 269 PA (13 doubles, 10 triples, 3 HR, 30 RBI, 52 R, 29-for-32 SB). While I thought the 22-year-old could be an interesting sleeper, if you predicted he would have an OPS > .900 on August 2, I would have called you delusional.
1B Josue Gonzalez: 0-for-4, K

LHP Allen Facundo: 4.2 IP, 3 H, 1 R, 1 ER, 1 BB, 2 K
Facundo, who has been dazzling with his velocity, wasn’t throwing quite as hard tonight (maxed at 96.6 MPH; averaged 94.2). For Tampa: 1.15 ERA (15.2 IP, 10 H, 4 R, 2 ER, 0 HR, 5 BB, 17 K).
RHP Cade Austin: 1.1 IP, 2 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 1 K

The 17-year-old earns his first professional win.

Yankees MILB 7/1: Engelth Urena Homers

Notes:

C/UTIL Anthony Seigler, the Yankees’ first-round pick in 2018, has earned his union card. The Milwaukee Brewers, who signed him as a minor league free agent last winter, added him to the roster today.

Drafted as a catcher, the Yankees started giving him time at second base in 2023. In 2024, he stopped catching entirely to focus on his new position.

This year, the Brewers started letting him catch again while giving him a new position to learn (third base). Additionally, he still gets time at second base.

The main culprit in Seigler’s development stalling was injuries. Moving to second base seemed to help him last season, as he played in a career-high 118 games, hitting .234/.350/.398 with 29 stolen bases in 32 attempts. That wasn’t enough for the Yankees to add him to the 40-man.

For the Brewers’ Triple-A affiliate this year, he is hitting .277/.415/.465 in 267 plate appearances with 20 stolen bases in 23 attempts.

A unique ability to play catcher and a few other positions, plus his ability to steal bases, make him an intriguing bench piece at least.

RHP Baron Stuart was promoted from Somerset to Scranton.

.190/.390/.241 in 77 PA (1 double, 1 triple, 0 HR, 8 RBI, 15 R, 3-for-4 SB, 18.2% BB, 36.4% K). I never worry about a 16-year-old’s stats. There is still plenty of season left for him to adjust.

Yankees MILB 6/21: Spencer Jones is Scorching

Notes:

I wish I had something to offer you.

Injury Log

Scranton (37-34) (Defeated Louisville, 4-3, in ten innings)

C Jesus Rodriguez: 1-for-4, BB
.340/.423/.432 in 241 PA. Rodriguez has been in an extra-base hit drought lately (3, all doubles, in his last 13 games).
2B Jorbit Vivas: 1-for-4, CI, K
CF Everson Pereira: 1-for-5, 3 K
Pereira’s strikeouts remain a concern (33.2%). I “obsess” a bit over strikeout rates because MLB pitchers will exploit your holes over and over and over and over.
1B T.J. Rumfield: 1-for-4, 2B (16)
LF Brennen Davis: 2-for-4, 2 HR (7), 2 RBI, 2 R
I don’t have delusions of grandeur, but he is impressing. He is 18-for-51 (.353) with three doubles and seven home runs at this level. Overall, he has 12 home runs in 28 games (if you take out his FCL rehab games, it’s still an impressive 9 HR in 22 games). 
3B Jose Rojas: 2-for-4, 3B (2), R
   3B Andrew Velazquez: 0-for-0, R
RF Bryan De La Cruz: 0-for-4, RBI

RHP Eric Reyzelman: 1.2 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 3 BB, 2 K
4.18 ERA (28 IP, 14 H, 13 R, 13 ER, 2 HR, 32 BB, 29 K). If you are a glass 99% full type, Reyzelman is seemingly as tough to hit as ever (43 hits allowed in 78.1 career innings). He won’t survive with the 2025 walk rate.
RHP Geoff Hartlieb: (W, 3-2)  2.1 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 1 K
RHP Colten Brewer (S, 5): 1 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 0 K

.215/.350/.326 in 177 PA (15.8% BB, 24.3% K).

Jones is in one of his zones. He is hitting .268/.395/.586 in 190 PA (8 doubles, 14 HR, 29 RBI, 36 R, 10-for-12 SB, 16.8% BB, 33.7% K). He is 6-for-9 over the last two nights and 15-for-31 in his last nine games. The talent is immense, even with the warts.
C Rafael Flores: 2-for-5, 2B (16), 2 RBI, BB, K
.273/.338/.473 in 287 PA. He has 16 doubles, 12 HR, and 42 RBI. He ranks third in the Eastern League in RBI and second in hits (72).
3B Dylan Jasso: 2-for-4, HR (10), RBI, R, 2 BB
Jasso has 40 doubles and 21 homers in 180 games over the last two seasons. 
LF Garrett Martin: 3-for-6, RBI, 2 R
Martin has three multi-hit efforts (including a pair of 3-hit efforts) in his last six games.
1B Tyler Hardman: 1-for-6, 2B (12), R, 2 K
RF Cole Gabrielson: 1-for-2, 2 R, 2 CS (3), 3 BB, K
SS Max Burt: 1-for-5, RBI, R, 3 K

RHP Trent Sellers: 4.1 IP, 4 H, 2 R, 2 ER, 4 BB, 7 K, HR
4.26 ERA (50.2 IP, 38 H, 27 R, 24 ER, 6 HR, 24 BB, 60 K)

LHP Ryan Anderson: 1.1 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 0 K
RHP Luis Pacheco: 1 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 0 K

Hudson Valley (40-26) (Defeated Jersey Shore, 9-6)

DH Jackson Castillo: 3-for-5, 2 RBI, R, K
Castillo is hitting .229 with a .644 OPS. He isn’t “hot” but is showing signs recently (9-for-31 (.290) in his last eight games).
RF Dillon Lewis: 0-for-5, 2 K
As I stated yesterday, the tools are “loud,” but he has things to work on. Hey, he’s a 22-year-old in High-A. That is where you learn.
1B Coby Morales: 2-for-4, RBI, 2 R, SB (10), BB, 2 K
CF Duke Ellis: 0-for-3, 2 R, 2 BB, 2 K
C Omar Martinez: 1-for-4, BB, 3 K

A nice day for Vargas…
3B Josh Moylan: 1-for-5, 2 RBI, K
2B Brenny Escanio: 2-for-4, 2 R, K
LF Luis Durango: 2-for-4, R, CS (5)

LHP Kyle Carr: (W, 2-5)  5.1 IP, 2 H, 3 R, 0 ER, 5 BB, 5 K
Interesting line.  Carr owns a 3.05 ERA in 59 IP (42 H, 28 R, 20 ER, 5 HR, 31 BB, 46 K)
RHP Tony Rossi: 1.2 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 3 K
Rossi’s “perfect” season is over, as he allowed two inherited runners to score. However, he maintains that 0.00 ERA (between Tampa and Hudson Valley: 20 games, 24 IP, 8 H, 0 R, 7 BB, 32 K). Insanity.
RHP Huey Morrill: 1 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 1 K
0.38 ERA (24 IP, 11 H, 2 R, 1 ER, 0 HR, 7 BB, 19 K)
RHP Hayden Merda: 1 IP, 2 H, 3 R, 2 ER, 0 BB, 1 K, HR

Tampa (37-30) (Squeaked past Bradenton, 2-1. Anytime you can win when your 1-2-3 hitters go 0-for-12, you take it and run)

DH Edgleen Perez: 0-for-4, K
LF Brian Sanchez: 0-for-4, K
SS Roderick Arias: 0-for-4, K
C Engelth Urena: 1-for-3, HR (7), RBI, 2 R, BB, K
.214/.342/.345 in 278 PA. Urena has a double and a pair of homers in his last four games and has three multi-hit efforts in his last eight games (13 straight games without multiple hits before this stretch).  His 41 runs scored rank fourth in the FSL.
3B Juan Matheus: 0-for-4, K
RF Hans Montero: 1-for-4, RBI, K
CF Marshall Toole: 1-for-3, 2B (10)
.309/.406/.483 in 175 PA (10 doubles, 5 triples, 2 HR, 20 RBI, 34 R, 19-for-21 SB, 13.7% BB, 21.1% K).  Toole still doesn’t have enough plate appearances to qualify for leaderboards. If he did, his .309 average would rank second behind Konnor Griffin (Bradenton (Pittsburgh); 19 years old). Griffin is now in High-A.
1B Josue Gonzalez: 1-for-3
2B Santiago Gomez: 0-for-2, BB

LHP Xavier Rivas: (W, 1-1)  5.1 IP, 3 H, 1 R, 1 ER, 1 BB, 7 K, HR
Since promotion: 3.06 ERA (17.2 IP, 11 H, 7 R, 6 ER, 1 HR, 11 BB, 15 K). He throws in the low 90s and features a 4-seam/sinker/slider/change mix.
RHP Sean Hermann: 1.1 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 2 K
1.10 ERA (32.2 IP, 18 H, 10 R, 4 ER, 0 HR, 23 BB, 24 K). He is a groundball specialist (63% entering tonight).
RHP Brady Kirtner: 1.1 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 1 K
RHP Chris Veach (S, 5): 1 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 2 K
1.63 ERA (27.2 IP, 19 H, 6 R, 5 ER, 3 HR, 16 BB, 41 K). Veach has pitched well, but will need to cut down on the walk rate as he moves up.

FCL (17-19) (Lost to the Blue Jays, 11-1. Rookie League baseball at its finest – the Blue Jays scored 11 runs on seven hits and 12 walks)

1B Manuel Palencia: 1-for-4
LF Wilson Rodriguez: 0-for-3, R, SB (7), BB, K
C Ediel Rivera: 1-for-4, RBI
.267/.343/.400 in 105 PA.
SS Dexters Peralta: 1-for-4, K
RF Gabriel Lara: 1-for-4, CS (5), 2 K
I have said it before: Lara is known for his blazing speed, but the ability to steal bases requires more than that. The best thing they can do is tell him to keep running. That’s how you learn.

RHP Mariano Salomon (L, 3-2): 4.1 IP, 2 H, 2 R, 2 ER, 0 BB, 6 K, HR
The game didn’t get out of hand due to his performance. The 22-year-old owns a 2.73 ERA in 26.1 innings (13 H, 8 R, 8 ER, 5 HR, 6 BB, 32 K). 

DSL Yankees (5-9) (Lost to the DSL Rangers Red, 14-7)

SS Mani Cedeno: 0-for-3, 2 R, 2 HBP, BB, 2 K
.200/.396/.250 in 53 PA (1 triple, 5 RBI, 11 R, 2-for-2 SB, 18.9% BB, 37.7% K). It’s too early to worry about a 16-year-old’s strikeout rate.
CF Francisco Vilorio: 1-for-5, R, BB, K
.235/.435/.265 in 46 PA. Don’t worry about Cedeno, but Vilorio must show something in 2025.
LF Isaias Castillo: 0-for-3, RBI, 2 R, 2 BB, K
.333/.444/.600 in 36 PA.  Castillo begins his career with a 9-game on-base streak.
DH Estivenzon Montero: 1-for-2, HR (2), 2 RBI, 2 R, 2 BB, K
9-for-30 with a pair of homers and eight RBI. Montero (18) has 30 RBI in 40 career games.
2B Alfred Ciriaco: 1-for-3, 2 RBI, HBP, SB (3), BB

RHP Anthony Mena: 3.1 IP, 4 H, 4 R, 1 ER, 1 BB, 4 K, HR
RHP Jose Vargas: 1.1 IP, 3 H, 2 R, 0 ER, 1 BB, 2 K
3.1 IP, 4 H, 2 R, 0 ER, 1 BB, 2 K
LHP Luis Rodriguez: 1.2 IP, 2 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 5 K
12 IP, 16 H, 8 R, 7 ER, 1 HR, 6 BB, 10 K

DSL Bombers (6-8) (Lost to DSL Mets Blue, 7-4)

CF Ruben Castillo: 4-for-4, 2B (2), SB (8), CS (2)
The 17-year-old has back-to-back multi-hit efforts. Thanks to the small sample size, his triple slash spiked from .118/.231/.235 to .238/.333/.381.
DH Stiven Marinez: 0-for-3, R, BB, K
8-for-32 with nine walks and ten strikeouts. He has scored nine runs and is 8-for-8 stealing bases.
C Queni Pineda: 1-for-2, 2 R, SB (5), 2 BB, K
.361/.489/.528 in 45 PA. In 218 plate appearances at this level, the 18-year-old is hitting .277/.445/.458 with 12 doubles and six home runs. He also has more walks (50) than strikeouts (45).
LF Browm Martinez: 0-for-3, R, HBP, K
SS Christofer Reyes: 0-for-4, RBI, SB (10), K
Reyes is 31-for-40 stealing bases in 55 career games.

RHP Randy Angomas: 3 IP, 3 H, 2 R, 2 ER, 4 BB, 2 K
The 17-year-old is in his learning phase (9.2 IP, 9 H, 8 R, 5 ER, 9 BB, 4 K)

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 idea either. I have never been afraid to admit that.

However, I will always share my personal opinions and try to discern trends. I will provide the statistical anecdotes and Savant readings when they are available.

When they promote prospects, there is a reason for it. When they don’t, there is a reason for it. Trying to read between the lines is fun for me, even if my opinion won’t always be correct.

“Anyone who claims they know everything about baseball prospects is lying”.

Injury Log

Scranton (36-32) (Lost to Louisville, 8-1. Louisville had two pitchers who hit 100+ MPH: Chase Burns (7 IP, 7 K) and Zach Maxwell)

C Jesus Rodriguez: 0-for-4, 2 K
One concern with any prospect is how they react to velocity. You can’t tell anything by today alone, but he missed 100.1 and 98.7 MPH fastballs and grounded out (86.9 MPH) on a 99.1 MPH fastball. We can use that as a point of reference if nothing else.
2B Jorbit Vivas: 0-for-4
LF Everson Pereira: 0-for-3, 2 K
1B T.J. Rumfield: 1-for-3, 2B (15), R
Rumfield has a 5-game hitting streak (7-for-19; 2 doubles, 1 triple, 5 RBI). 
3B CJ Alexander: 0-for-3, K
RF Bryan De La Cruz: 0-for-2, SF, RBI, 2 K
.234/.292/.387 in 137 PA (4 doubles, 5 HR, 17 RBI, 17 R, 3-for-3 SB, 6.6% BB, 28.5% K)
DH Jose Reyes: 0-for-3, 2 K
SS Braden Shewmake: 1-for-3, 2B (7), K
Shewmake has an 11-game hitting streak. He is hitting .255/.350/.409 in 158 PA (.186/.307/.289 before the streak). No, he isn’t an Anthony Volpe replacement, even if you are tempted to ask.
CF Ismael Munguia: 1-for-3, CS (5)

RHP Erick Leal (L, 1-7): 5 IP, 5 H, 3 R, 3 ER, 1 BB, 6 K, 3 HR
RHP Zach Messinger: 1.2 IP, 0 H, 2 R, 2 ER, 2 BB, 3 K
As reliever: 3.29 ERA (13.2 IP, 10 H, 6 R, 5 ER, 8 BB, 14 K). Overall: 6.05 ERA (41.2 IP, 46 H, 29 R, 28 ER, 3 HR, 27 BB, 40 K)
RHP Geoff Hartlieb: 0.1 IP, 3 H, 3 R, 3 ER, 0 BB, 1 K, HR
RHP Harrison Cohen: 1 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 2 K
Cohen reached 94.6 MPH with his 4-seamer, which he featured 70% of the time. 

Somerset (31-34) (Swept a doubleheader against New Hampshire)

Game 1 (Won, 5-3)

2B Roc Riggio: 2-for-4, HR (6), 2 RBI, R, SB (2), K
Riggio takes over the organizational lead with his 13th home run (6 for Somerset, 6 for Hudson Valley, 1 in the FCL).
SS George Lombard Jr.: 1-for-4, 2B (3), R, 2 K
Lombard Jr. has a double, triple, and homer in his last six games.
DH Spencer Jones: 1-for-2, RBI, SB (9), 2 BB, K
C Rafael Flores: 0-for-4, 3 K
3B Dylan Jasso: 1-for-4, 2 K
LF Garrett Martin: 1-for-3, R, K
CF Brendan Jones: 1-for-2, 3B (1), RBI, CS (1), BB
Jones has four triples between here and Hudson Valley. 
1B Tyler Hardman: 0-for-3, R, SB (6), 2 K
RF Cole Gabrielson: 0-for-2, R, BB, K

RHP Marcus Stroman: 3.1 IP, 2 H, 3 R, 2 ER, 1 BB, 4 K
With JT Brubaker activated today, it will be interesting to see how the Yankees handle Stroman when he is ready. Yerry De los Santos would be the most logical to go back to Scranton.
RHP Bailey Dees (W, 2-4): 2.2 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 3 K
For Somerset: 4.53 ERA (49.2 IP, 45 H, 26 R, 25 ER, 7 HR, 26 BB, 62 K)
RHP Danny Watson (S, 1): 1 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 2 K
Watson had a 16.71 ERA in April. Since: 4.11 ERA (15.1 IP, 14 H, 7 R, 7 ER, 2 BB, 14 K). He hasn’t allowed a walk in seven straight appearances.

Game 2 (Won, 6-1)

2B Roc Riggio: 2-for-3, RBI, R, 2 SB (4), K
Riggio doesn’t have blazing speed, but he is an aggressive baserunner. That allowed him to be an impressive 27-for-33 stealing bases in 2024, but he is only 6-for-11 in 2025. 
SS George Lombard Jr.: 0-for-3, 2 R, SB (12), BB
Lombard Jr. is 23-for-27 stealing bases between here and Hudson Valley (66-for-80 (82.5%) in his career). The bat isn’t there yet. I remain confident it will get there.
CF Spencer Jones: 1-for-2, HR (13), 2 RBI, R, 2 BB, K
Jones ties Riggio for the organizational home run lead.  He has a 6-game hitting streak (9-for-19; 1 double, 3 HR, 6 RBI, 7 R, 5 BB, 5 K) and owns a .943 OPS.
DH Rafael Flores: 0-for-2, R, 2 BB
Flores is in a 0-for-17 slump.
1B Dylan Jasso: 1-for-4, 2B (10), 3 RBI
Jasso had a big bases-clearing double.  He has an 8-game hitting streak (10-for-28) and is hitting .281/.346/.484 in 239 PA.
LF Brendan Jones: 0-for-3, 2 K
RF Cam Eden: 0-for-3, 2 K
C Diomedes Hernandez: 0-for-3, 2 K
3B Max Burt: 1-for-2, 2B (5), R

RHP Trystan Vrieling: 3.2 IP, 4 H, 1 R, 1 ER, 1 BB, 4 K
Slowly, but surely, building up the pitching count. He wasn’t efficient tonight (72), but I still consider him to be in spring training mode. For Somerset: 4.71 ERA (21 IP, 24 H, 12 R, 11 ER, 3 HR, 11 BB, 14 K). 
LHP Ryan Anderson (W, 1-1): 1.1 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 0 K
RHP Mason Vinyard: 1 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 0 K
RHP Kelly Austin:   1 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 2 K

Hudson Valley (38-26) (Defeated Jersey Shore, 9-2)

CF Jackson Castillo: 1-for-3, RBI, 3 R, SB (13), HBP, BB, K
DH Dillon Lewis: 1-for-5, HR (3; grand slam), 4 RBI, R, K
If you are only going to compile one hit, make it a special one. Between Tampa and Hudson Valley, he has ten doubles, three triples, 12 home runs, 38 RBI, 39 runs, and 15 stolen bases in 16 attempts. There are warts (not hitting for much average) but he has dropped his K% since being promoted. Small sample blip or a trend?
1B Coby Morales: 1-for-5, HR (6), 2 RBI, R, 2 K
Morales has six homers in 58 games (five in 123 games entering this season)
C Omar Martinez: 0-for-4, RBI, 2 K
2B Jose Colmenares: 1-for-3, SB (8), BB
SS Alexander Vargas: 1-for-4, HR (2), RBI, R
LF Luis Durango: 1-for-3, R, CS (4), HBP
3B Josh Moylan: 0-for-3, R, BB, K
RF Anthony Hall: 1-for-4, R, 2 K

RHP Elmer Rodriguez-Cruz: (W, 5-2)  6 IP, 4 H, 2 R, 1 ER, 3 BB, 4 K
2.59 ERA (66 IP, 41 H, 22 R, 19 ER, 0 HR, 28 BB, 78 K). He wasn’t completely on his game tonight, but what a season. No home runs in 66 innings is ridiculous.
RHP Hayden Merda: 1 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 2 K
RHP Huey Morrill: 1 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 1 K
0.39 ERA (23 IP, 11 H, 2 R, 1 ER, 7 BB, 18 K)
RHP Ocean Gabonia: 1 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 0 K

Tampa (36-28) (Defeated Bradenton, 8-6)

C Edgleen Perez: 1-for-4, 2B (6), 2 R, BB
Perez caught two runners out of six trying to steal. He is 13-for-82 (15.9%) this season. That is down considerably from his rookie league days (26% last season, for example), which is hardly surprising. As for the offense, he has a pair of doubles in his last three games.
CF Brian Sanchez: 1-for-5, 2 R, 2 K
SS Roderick Arias: 2-for-4, 2 RBI, 3 R, BB
Is Arias heating up? He has three multi-hit efforts in his last six games, increasing his triple slash from .152/.302/.239 to .181/.316/.263. I never claimed the jump was significant.
DH Engelth Urena: 2-for-5, HR (6), 3 RBI, R, 3 K
Urena (20) ends an 18-game homerless streak. Power is his game (13 doubles, 11 HR in 51 rookie league games). Can he find it consistently as he navigates full-season leagues? 
3B Juan Matheus: 1-for-4, RBI
LF Tyler Wilson: 3-for-4, 2 RBI, K
Wilson continues his incredible June (22-for-46; 2 doubles, 12 RBI, 12 R, 11 BB, 7 K). The 22-year-old is hitting .305/.389/.394 in 244 plate appearances as he tries to earn a promotion. The Florida State League leans towards pitching, so his .305 batting average ranks third.
1B Hans Montero: 1-for-4, K
RF Marshall Toole: 2-for-4, CS (2)
.308/.408/.483 in 169 PA. Toole is playing well, though he doesn’t have enough plate appearances to qualify for rate statistic leader boards.
2B Santiago Gomez: 0-for-3, CS (1), HBP, K

RHP Brandon Decker: 2.1 IP, 3 H, 3 R, 3 ER, 1 BB, 3 K, HR
Decker tossed 56 pitches (34 strikes), the most pitches he has thrown this year. This was his fifth consecutive start after starting his career with eight relief appearances. He owns a 2.97 ERA (30.1 IP, 27 H, 15 R, 10 ER, 1 HR, 13 BB, 30 K).
RHP Cole Zaffiro: 2.2 IP, 3 H, 2 R, 2 ER, 1 BB, 2 K, 2 HR
RHP Brady Kirtner: (W, 4-2)  1.2 IP, 2 H, 1 R, 1 ER, 0 BB, 3 K
RHP Chris Veach: (S, 4) 2.1 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 2 BB, 4 K
1.69 ERA (26.2 IP, 19 H, 6 R, 5 ER, 3 HR, 16 BB, 39 K). Veach is allowing a few too many walks, but is also missing bats. He generated ten whiffs on 13 swings, including six on his bread-and-butter changeup. I like the differential in his pitches (averaged 92.2 with his 4-seamer, 91.7 with his sinker, and 76.7 with his change).

2B Max Burt: 0-for-3, K

RHP Trystan Vrieling: 4.1 IP, 2 H, 0 R, 2 BB, 0 K

RHP Danny Watson (W, 1-1): 1.2 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 1 K
After a rough start to the season (understatement), Watson has five straight scoreless outings (4 IP, 1 H, 2 BB, 3 K)

Hudson Valley (28-15) (Allowed five runs in the 9th (yikes) to lose to Winston-Salem, 5-4)

DH Roc Riggio: 0-for-2, R, HBP, 2 BB
.275/.456/.686 in 68 PA. His walk percentage in 22.1. He spent all of April on the injured list so I don’t mind him being here. Eventually, they will need to consider Somerset.
RF Brendan Jones: 2-for-5, HR (4), RBI, R, K
.237/.346/.382 in 182 PA. Jones hit three home runs in a 5-game period in April before going on a 24-game homerless streak. Baseball!
1B Coby Morales: 0-for-3, R, SB (6), 2 BB, K
LF Jace Avina: 1-for-5, 2B (9), RBI, 2 K
.284/.411/.440 in 146 PA (9 doubles, 3 HR, 16 RBI, 22 R)

2B Duncan Pastore: 2-for-3, 2B (3), 2 CS (2), BB

RHP Elmer Rodriguez-Cruz  6.1 IP, 3 H, 0 R, 4 BB, 4 K
2.74 ERA (42.2 IP, 25 H, 15 R, 13 ER, 0 HR, 21 BB, 47 K). The walks are a little high but he is offsetting that with solid strikeout and ground ball rates (52.9% GB entering tonight)
RHP Tony Rossi: 1 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 2 K
Since promotion: 8 IP, 3 H, 0 R, 4 BB, 8 K. Overall: 15.2 IP, 5 H, 0 R, 4 BB, 20 K

RHP Chris Kean: (L, 2-1): 0.1 IP, 4 H, 5 R, 5 ER, 1 BB, 1 K, HR

Tampa (23-21) (Held off Dunedin, 4-3)

DH Edgleen Perez: 0-for-5, 2 K
C Engelth Urena: 3-for-5, 2B (7), HR (5), RBI, 2 R, K
Urena follows up a 4-hit game with a 3-hit effort. His power potential comes out from time to time, and he has three doubles and a homer in his last two games.  Season: .232/.359/.377 in 184 PA (7 doubles, 5 HR, 19 RBI, 30 R, 14.1% BB, 19.6% K). 
CF Dillon Lewis: 1-for-3, HR (7), 2 RBI, R, BB
.234/.310/.455 in 171 PA (9 doubles, 2 triples, 7 HR, 23 RBI, 28 R, 11-for-12 SB, 9.4% BB, 28.1% K). Lewis is on  a 5-game hitting streak (8-for-21; 2 doubles, 2 HR, 6 RBI) and has 13 extra-base hits in 19 May games (5 doubles, 2 triples, 6 HR). 
SS Juan Matheus: 0-for-4, 2 K
After an insane hot streak, Matheus is 0-for-11 in his last three games. He is hitting .281/.348/.348 in 158 plate appearances.
LF Tyler Wilson: 3-for-4, R, CS (4)
Wilson follows up a 4-hit game with a 3-hit effort. In his last four games, he is 10-for-17, raising his triple slash from .224/.307/.261 to .265/.339/.351. 
RF Austin Green: 0-for-2, HBP, BB
2B Hans Montero: 0-for-3, BB, K
3B Owen Cobb: 0-for-3, SF, RBI, K
The video game numbers have predictably dwindled, though he is still hitting .373/.413/.657 in 76 PA. 
1B Josue Gonzalez: 0-for-3, BB, K

RHP Gage Ziehl: (W, 1-2)  5 IP, 6 H, 2 R, 2 ER, 0 BB, 7 K
Ziehl’s first professional win. The seven strikeouts are a personal best.
RHP Gus Hughes: 1.1 IP, 3 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 3 K
RHP Cade Austin: 1.2 IP, 1 H, 1 R, 0 ER, 1 BB, 1 K
RHP Sean Hermann (S, 1): 1 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 1 K
Hermann’s first career save as his transition to the bullpen continues to pay dividends: 1.61 ERA (22.1 IP, 14 H, 6 R, 4 ER, 0 HR, 18 BB, 22 K). This was his 8th straight scoreless appearance. The walk rate is high, but most of that was in April. In May, he has allowed three walks over 10 innings.

FCL (8-8) (Pulverized the Phillies again, 15-3. They have outscored the Phillies 30-3 the last two days)

LF Brando Mayea: 2-for-5, 2B (4), 2 RBI, 3 R, BB, K
.295/.377/.541 in 70 PA. Mayea is second in the FCL with 17 runs.
CF Cam Eden: 4-for-6, 2 2B (3), 5 RBI, 2 R, K
Tick tock. Get him to Scranton already.
RF Isael Arias: 1-for-4, R, SB (4), BB
C Ediel Rivera: 0-for-3, R, SB (4), 2 BB, K
Always pay attention to the catchers in the Yankees system.
SS Dexters Peralta: 1-for-5, RBI, 2 K
Peralta received a $500,000 signing bonus during the 2024 international signing period. He is 2-for-20 so far this year after hitting .219/.320/.325 with 26 stolen bases in 30 attempts in 46 DSL games last year.
1B Manuel Palencia: 2-for-4, 2B (2), RBI, 2 R, K
2B Luis Escudero: 2-for-4, HR (1), 3 RBI, 2 R
Escudero’s first HR since July 16, 2024. The 19-year-old is hitting .267/.353/.400 with more walks (6) than strikeouts (5) in his first taste of the FCL.
3B Santiago Gomez: 1-for-3, 3 R, 2 BB, K

RHP Kevin Stevens: 1 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 3 K
Stevens is here on a rehab assignment. The 27-year-old pitched to a 2.54 ERA in 39 innings for Somerset last season (56/16 K/BB). Signed as an undrafted free agent in 2022, Stevens was invited to spring training this year, pitching a scoreless inning.
RHP Carson Coleman: 1 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 2 K
Coleman’s second rehab appearance.
RHP Greysen Carter (W, 1-0): 3.2 IP, 2 H, 1 R, 1 ER, 8 BB, 1 K
I wish I could put “Yikes!” in big, bold, red, flashing font. But he gets the win!
RHP Jose Martinez: 1 IP, 2 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 2 K
Martinez (20) now has a 79/13 K/BB in 69 career innings.

Yankees MILB 5/23: An Offensive Explosion

Notes:

Nothing to see here.

Injury Log

Scranton (22-25) (Doubled up Nashville, 10-5)

DH Jesus Rodriguez: 3-for-4, RBI, SB (8), CS (4), BB, K
Rodriguez extends his hitting streak to 13 (seven multi-hit efforts).  He is hitting .389 with a .970 OPS since his promotion (44 hits in 30 games). All he does is hit, hit, hit (I seem to type that often, eh?)
LF Dominic Smith: 1-for-5, HR (7), 3 RBI, R, K
Smith has six homers in 18 May games.
C Alex Jackson: 1-for-3, 3 R, 2 BB, 2 K
Jackson has a 1.115 OPS in 21 games.
1B Jose Rojas: 3-for-4, 2 2B (12), 2 RBI, R, BB, K
RF Bryan De La Cruz: 2-for-5, 2B (4), RBI, R, 2 K
SS Braden Shewmake: 0-for-5, 2 K
2B Andrew Velazquez: 0-for-3, RBI, R, SAC, K
CF Ismael Munguia: 0-for-4, R
3B Jake Gatewood: 1-for-4, R, SB (2), K

RHP Allan Winans: (W, 3-0)  5 IP, 4 H, 1 R, 1 ER, 2 BB, 5 K
Winans finally allows an earned run. Season: 0.32 ERA (28 IP, 20 H, 3 R, 1 ER, 0 HR, 9 BB, 36 K)
RHP Leonardo Pestana: 1 IP, 1 H, 1 R, 1 ER, 1 BB, 1 K
RHP Jon Olsen: 1 IP, 3 H, 3 R, 3 ER, 1 BB, 1 K
RHP Geoff Hartlieb: 1 IP, 2 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 1 K
RHP Clayton Beeter: 1 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 1 K
I wonder when Beeter will get the call to MLB. The Yankees seem to like Yerry De los Santos, but Beeter has more upside.

Somerset (20-21) (Defeated New Hampshire, 9-6)

2B George Lombard Jr.: 1-for-5, 2B (1), R, BB, 3 K
Lombard Jr. earns his first Double-A extra-base hit. 
C Rafael Flores: 3-for-6, 2B (11), RBI, 2 R
.296/.347/.531 in 176 PA (11 doubles, 9 HR, 31 RBI, 23 R, 4-for-4 SB, 6.8% BB, 28.98% K). Keith Law’s opinion of Flores sees him as a platoon bat in MLB. He doesn’t see a full-time catcher, but the Yankees are stubborn about keeping players behind the plate for as long as possible. Some of that is definitely for trade value purposes.
CF Garrett Martin: 2-for-3, HR (5), 2 RBI, 4 R, HBP, BB
Martin ends his 18-game homerless streak. He has 30 doubles, 17 homers, and 24 stolen bases (27 attempts) in 141 career games.
DH Brennen Davis: 1-for-3, HR (1), 2 RBI, R, SB (1), 2 BB, K
Davis’s rehab is over, and he was assigned here. A no-risk flyer on a once highly-regarded kid. We’ll see how it goes.
LF Cole Gabrielson: 1-for-3, 2 RBI, K
  LF Grant Richardson: 0-for-2, 2 K
1B Tyler Hardman: 3-for-5, 2 2B (9), 2 RBI, K
Hardman’s third straight multi-hit effort.
SS Alexander Vargas: 0-for-4, BB
RF Jared Wegner: 0-for-3, CS (2), 2 BB, 2 K
3B Max Burt: 0-for-4, R, 2 SB (5), BB

RHP JT Brubaker: 2.2 IP, 1 H, 2 R, 1 ER, 3 BB, 0 K
Brubaker’s rehab was moved here today. Your reminder that, unlike with Scott Effross and Clayton Beeter, Brubaker doesn’t have any options left.
RHP Brendan Beck (W, 3-1): 5.1 IP, 6 H, 4 R, 4 ER, 1 BB, 5 K, 2 HR
2.67 ERA (33.2 IP, 24 H, 10 R, 10 ER, 2 HR, 7 BB, 37 K).  Beck’s appearances are widely spread out (first time we’ve seen him since 5/15).  Given his history of injuries, this makes sense.
RHP Indigo Diaz (S, 1): 1 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 2 K

Hudson Valley (28-14) (Walloped Winston-Salem, 10-1. Hudson Valley has outscored them 23-3 over the last two nights)

2B Roc Riggio: 1-for-5, 2B (4), 2 R, BB, K
Riggio has a 7-game hitting streak (11-for-27). He has three doubles, a triple, and four home runs during the streak.
CF Brendan Jones: 2-for-4, 2B (6), 2 RBI, 2 R, SB (17), 2 BB
.231/.345/.361 in 177 PA (6 doubles, 2 triples, 3 HR, 22 RBI, 32 R, 17-for-20 SB, 14.1% BB, 17.5% K). There is an interesting prospect bubbling under the surface here.
1B Coby Morales: 1-for-6, RBI, R, 2 K
DH Parks Harber: 4-for-5, 2B (6), 4 RBI, R, BB
Harber is hitting better here than in Low-A, though with fewer walks. He is hitting .368/.422/.592 in 83 PA here after hitting .304/.422/.551 in 83 PA for Tampa. He has three 3+ hit efforts in his last five games, including a pair of 4-hit efforts. I am not here to spread bullcrap – he is doing what you want college bats to do at the lower levels and it could be meaningless. However, it isn’t meaningless for him as this will get him to Double-A.
LF Jace Avina: 2-for-2, 2B (8), SF, RBI, 3 BB
.288/.418/.441 in 141 PA.
SS Jose Colmenares: 0-for-6
Colmenares is simply saving his hits for when the team needs them.
3B Josh Moylan: 1-for-4, BB, K
C Tomas Frick: 0-for-2, SF, RBI, 2 R, HBP, BB, K
RF Anthony Hall: 1-for-4, 2 R, BB, 2 K

RHP Josh Grosz: (W, 3-2)  7 IP, 4 H, 1 R, 1 ER, 0 BB, 8 K, HR
Grosz was efficient tonight, needing only 88 pitches to record 21 outs. Season: 3.60 ERA (35 IP, 28 H, 18 R, 14 ER, 3 HR, 12 BB, 45 K). Last three starts: 18.2 IP, 10 H, 6 R, 4 ER, 1 HR, 3 BB, 23 K.
RHP Sebastian Keane: 1 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 2 K
1.64 ERA (11 IP, 7 H, 2 R, 2 ER, 1 HR, 5 BB, 12 K). He hasn’t allowed a run in seven straight appearances.
RHP Matt Keating: 1 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 0 K
2.25 ERA (12 IP, 6 H, 3 R, 3 ER, 0 HR, 8 BB, 9 K)

Tampa (22-21) (Lost a slugfest to Dunedin, 13-9)

SS Roderick Arias: 0-for-4, R, SB (10), BB, 3 K
.173/.337/.296 in 101 PA (7 doubles, 1 HR, 10 RBI, 12 R, 10-for-12 SB, 18.8% BB, 28.7% K).
C Edgleen Perez: 2-for-5, R
Perez is 19-for-69 (.275; 3 doubles, 8 RBI, 11 R, 14 BB, 14 K) in May. He is hitting .232/.391/.264 in 161 PA.
CF Brian Sanchez: 1-for-3, K
Sanchez’s first game since May 10th.
  CF Marshall Toole: 0-for-2, R, K
DH Engelth Urena: 4-for-5, 2 2B (6), RBI, 3 R
This is his second career 4-hit effort. Known as an intriguing bat prospect, Urena has struggled this year. Hopefully, this gets him going. Season: .219/.352/.342 in 179 PA (6 doubles, 4 HR, 18 RBI, 28 R, 4-for-5 SB, 14.5% BB, 19.6% K). 
LF Dillon Lewis: 3-for-5, 2B (9), RBI, 2 R, 2 SB (11), K
Lewis is 22-for-73 (.301; 5 doubles, 2 triples, 5 HR, 18 RBI, 19 R, 5-for-5 SB) in May.  Overall, he is hitting .232/.305/.437 in 167 PA.
3B Juan Matheus: 0-for-5, RBI, K
RF Tyler Wilson: 4-for-5, 2B (4), HR (3), 4 RBI, R, K
Wilson’s first career 4-hit game. Last year’s 8th-round pick is hitting .252/.329/.340 in 164 PA. 
2B Owen Cobb: 0-for-4, HBP, 2 K
1B Hans Montero: 0-for-4, 2 K

RHP Brandon Decker: 1.2 IP, 2 H, 2 R, 1 ER, 2 BB, 0 K
Decker’s first career start. I don’t know if this is the start of a transition to the rotation or if they wanted him to open the game for some other reason. In college, he was used as a starter and reliever.  Season: 1.93 ERA (18.2 IP, 16 H, 9 R, 4 ER, 0 HR, 7 BB, 20 K)
RHP Cole Zaffiro: 2.1 IP, 1 H, 2 R, 2 ER, 3 BB, 3 K, HR
LHP Tanner Bauman: (L, 1-4)  2 IP, 6 H, 5 R, 5 ER, 3 BB, 3 K
RHP Jack Sokol: 1 IP, 2 H, 4 R, 2 ER, 2 BB, 1 K
RHP Brady Kirtner: 1 IP, 2 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 2 K
2.25 ERA (24 IP, 14 H, 6 R, 6 ER, 2 HR, 10 BB, 27 K)

FCL (7-8) (Phlasted the Phillies, 15-0. The 4-team division that keeps playing each other is ruled by the Tigers and Blue Jays, with the Yankees in striking range. The Phillies are 4-11 with the division’s lone negative run differential)

DH Cam Eden: 1-for-4, 2B (1), 3 RBI, SB (3), BB, 2 K
Eden is only 3-for-20 on his rehab stint, but how long does a 27-year-old need to be here?
CF Brando Mayea: 2-for-5, 3B (1), 2 R, SB (4), 2 K
.286/.365/.536 in 64 PA (7.8% BB; 25% K).
LF Wilson Rodriguez: 2-for-4, 2 RBI, R, K
C Ediel Rivera: 2-for-4, HR (1), 2 RBI, 3 R, K
Rivera’s first professional home run. The 19-year-old is 9-for-35 with three doubles and a home run.

RHP Mariano Salomon (W, 3-0): 2.2 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 4 K
0.87 ERA (10.1 IP, 5 H, 1 R, 1 ER, 3 BB, 12 K). Any reliever with the first name “Mariano” gets my eyes.
RHP Chance Nolan: 0.2 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 0 K
RHP Alexis Paulino: 1 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 2 K
Control has been an issue for the 22-year-old (84 in 90 career innings). This season, he owns a 14/3 K/BB over 7.2 IP. Progress!
