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 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 4/19: Bryce Cunningham Dominates

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 […]

Yankees MILB 4/17: Spencer Jones Homers Twice (Again)

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 […]

Yankees MILB 4/15: George Lombard Jr.: HR, 3 RBI, 2 BB, 2 SB

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 […]

Yankees MILB 4/5: Spencer Jones Singles, Doubles

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.
