Yankees MILB 4/29: Strong Outing by Cade Smith

Top 30 Prospects  Injury Log Notes: RHP Elmer Rodriguez pitched well enough in his debut. He had some control issues, which isn’t as unexpected as they tried to make it seem. Rodriguez owned a 9.0% walk rate in Triple-A this season, which is average-ish. It should have surprised nobody that he walked some hitters in his […]

Yankees MILB 4/26: Kaeden Kent Continues His Surge

Top 30 Prospects  Injury Log Notes: The number of Top 30 prospects (Pipeline) on the injured list has been reduced from seven to six, as LHP Henry Lalane has been activated. The Yankees’ demotion of Luis Gil is notable, though they don’t need a #5 starter this week. I assume we will see Yerry de los Santos come up, as […]

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 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 […]
