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. […]

Notes: No news. I have started a minor league injury log (below) Injury Log The Baseball Reference links stopped functioning at some point tonight, so some players don’t have their links (for now). You’ll live. Scranton (11-8) (No-hit by Durham, 4-0) 3B Jorbit Vivas: 0-for-4 His 6-game hitting streak is snapped. His K% is down to […]

Notes: The catching carousel continues. Today, Somerset activated 20-year-old Diomedes Hernandez from the Development List. He played first base in tonight’s game but is also a catcher. Scranton placed IF Braden Shewmake on the injured list. IF Max Burt was promoted to Scranton to take his place. Shewmake is likely the most random player on the Yankees’ 40-man roster. The […]

Notes: C Alex Jackson and C/OF Cooper Hummel are on the Triple-A injured list. That explains why C Jesus Rodriguez was promoted to Scranton. Additionally, the Railriders activated catcher Edinson Duran. Duran (22) played in 24 games in Low-A Tampa last year, hitting .218/.307/.346 with four doubles and three triples. This won’t be his first taste of Scranton, as he […]

Minor League Reports, Yankees
Notes: Nothing to report Scranton (4-4) (Lost to Syracuse, 7-4) 1B Dominic Smith: 0-for-4, K LF Everson Pereira: 1-for-4, K 7-for-25 with four RBI. He is looking for his first extra-base hit. Given that extra-base power is his “thing,” I am not worried. 2B Jorbit Vivas: 1-for-4 DH T.J. Rumfield: 1-for-3, HR (3), RBI, R, BB .303/.395/.636 in […]

News RHP Cody Morris cleared waivers and was outrighted to Scranton. With Josh Maciejewski demoted to Scranton, my guess is that Yoendrys Gomez will get the call. That is a guess, but he is rested and conveniently on the 40-man roster. It appears the Yankees are not ready to promote Scott Effross. Scranton (50-42) (Defeated Buffalo, 8-3, in 11 innings) CF […]

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 […]

News: Brian Cashman said today that RHP Clayton Beeter could be out for the season with a shoulder injury. Beeter appeared in one game for the Yankees (second game of the season) before being sent down to Scranton. For Scranton, he pitched to a 2.53 ERA in 7 starts (32 IP) with a 32.8% K and 15.7% […]

News: Happy 4th of July! LHP Henry Lalane made his 2024 debut today. Standing 6’7″, Lalane was born in the Bronx but moved to the Dominican Republic when he was four months old (which is why he was an international signing and not a draftee). What makes him interesting? A kid his size typically has control […]
