Yankees MILB 7/8: Carlos Lagrange Ks 8

Notes: RHP Cade Smith, ranked 14th in the organization by Pipeline, made a rehab appearance for the FCL yesterday. He went two perfect innings, striking out three. Last season, in 93.2 innings between Tampa and Hudson Valley (8 innings), Smith went 6-7 with a 3.65 ERA (3.37 FIP). 42.8% GB, 30.6% K, and 11.1% BB. […]

Yankees MILB 7/3: Griffin Herring Continues to Cruise

Notes: The Yankees have signed veteran infielder Nicky Lopez to a minor league deal. This comes a couple of days after he opted out of his minor league deal with the Arizona Diamondbacks. The Yankees likely offered him more money. The 30-year-old Lopez played in 18 games for the Angels and Cubs this season, hitting .042/.179/.042 (1-for-24). […]

Yankees MILB 5/29: Spencer Jones Returns

Notes: OF Spencer Jones, out since May 3rd due to an “intercostal injury,” returned to the Somerset lineup tonight. He joined Jazz Chisholm Jr., who is in Somerset on a rehab stint. Unfortunately, when someone comes off the injured list, someone has to go. The Yankees have released OF Grant Richardson. Drafted in the 17th round in […]

Yankees MILB 5/28: Carlos Lagrange’s Big Effort

Notes: Early-season standout Griffin Herring was promoted from Tampa to Hudson Valley. The Yankees went heavy on SEC pitchers in the 2024 draft, and the left-handed Herring was no exception. Out of LSU, the Yankees drafted him in the 6th round and signed him to an overslot bonus (as a draft-eligible sophomore, he had leverage). He was […]

Yankees MILB 5/18: Rafael Flores Homers Again

Notes: RHP JT Brubaker started his latest rehab stint in Hudson Valley today. Acquired for infield prospect Keiner Delgado in April 2024, Bruaker hasn’t been able to stay healthy. He tossed only 16.2 innings in the Yankees system last year. The difference between Brubaker and Scott Effross and Clayton Beeter is that Brubaker is out of options.  Once the rehab is […]

Yankees MILB 5/16: Jesus Rodriguez is Scorching

Notes: RHP Clayton Beeter‘s rehab is over. The Yankees have optioned him to Scranton. The Yankees traded LHP Rob Zastryzny to the Brewers for cash considerations. This is a massive win since I no longer need to type that name. The 33-year-old has pitched for several organizations, including MLB stops with the Cubs, Mets, Angels, and Pirates. […]

Yankees MILB 5/3: George Lombard Jr. is Scorching

Notes: Will the Yankees dodge a bullet with Clarke Schmidt? “Soreness in the side” is scary, but I hope so. The Yankees lack rotation depth. This should not come as a surprise to people who read these reports. The Triple-A rotation consists of prospects Zach Messinger and Sean Boyle, along with veterans Allan Winans, Brandon Leibrandt, Erick Leal, and Jake […]

Yankees MILB 4/30: George Lombard Jr. Ends Month on Good Note

Notes: C Alex Jackson was activated off the injured list. He goes back to being the #3 catcher (#4 if you think Ben Rice would take on the responsibility). C/UTIL Jesus Rodriguez played in Game 2 of Scranton’s doubleheader tonight. I don’t know if he will stick with the squad or return to Somerset. OF Everson Pereira, who […]

Yankees MILB 4/29: Dylan Jasso: Double, 2 HR

Notes: SS Roderick Arias, hitting .155/.302/.254 (72 wRC+) in 86 plate appearances, was placed on Tampa’s 7-day injured list. 1B/3B Parks Harber, who has a 170 wRC+ this season, was rightfully promoted from Tampa to Hudson Valley. IF Owen Cobb was activated off the injured list and assigned to Tampa. After missing a few games for unknown […]

Yankees MILB 4/27: Rafael Flores Doubles, Homers

Notes: OF Everson Pereira is listed as active but hasn’t played since April 19th. Injuries are a part of Pereira’s story. He has never played in more than 102 games. His second-highest total is 82. You have to be available to be useful. George Lombard Jr. and Roderick Arias left their games early yesterday. Lombard Jr. was back in […]
