Yankees MILB 5/8: Chase Hampton Finally Returns

Top 30 Prospects  Injury Log Notes: Two significant minor league updates involving pitchers. First, the bad news:  RHP Luis Gil is on the 7-day injured list for Scranton. Injuries have always been a part of Gil’s story, but let’s hope he gets back on the mound quickly. Even with Gerrit Cole a while away, the Yankees still boast […]

Yankees MILB 5/6: A Day of Offense

Top 30 Prospects  Injury Log Notes: Nothing much to report on the minor league front. Scranton (19-15) (Won a crazy one over Worcester, 9-7, in ten innings.) 3B George Lombard Jr.: 1-for-3, 3 BB, K Since promotion: 5-for-23 (.217), though he has walked eight times (.438 OBP). He is still searching for his first extra-base hit. […]

Yankees MILB 5/3: The Spencer Jones Show!

Top 30 Prospects  Injury Log Notes: I didn’t mention it yesterday, but the FCL plays a different schedule than everyone else. Instead of every Monday off, they tend to take every Sunday off.  I typically do not write up a Monday report that is “FCL only” unless something special occurs. Maybe I will tomorrow since […]

Yankees MILB 5/2: Kyle Carr Tosses 6 Scoreless Innings

Top 30 Prospects  Injury Log Notes: Paul DeJong, a veteran utilityman, was released by the organization. He likely exercised an opt-out, so it wouldn’t be shocking if he pops up elsewhere.  In 23 games for Scranton, he hit .203/.361/.516 with six home runs in 83 plate appearances. He played 2B/SS/3B and was valuable depth, though […]

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 4/24: Jace Avina Homers Twice

Top 30 Prospects  Injury Log Notes: I have nothing to offer, beyond wondering who comes up if Giancarlo Stanton goes on the injured list. Jasson Dominguez is the obvious choice if you can guarantee playing time. If not, it will be someone they throw at the end of the bench until Anthony Volpe is ready. Oswaldo Cabrera and Max Schuemann are on the […]

Yankees MILB 9/18: Carlos Lagrange Ks 7

Notes: Trade analysis links: Jose Caballero/Camilo Doval (link) David Bednar/Jake Bird (link) Ryan McMahon (link) Amed Rosario (link) Austin Slater (link) Updated look at the trade deadline. My thoughts on Core Jackson. Arizona Fall League Players The Yankees and Rays completed the Jose Caballero transaction today, as the Bronx Bombers sent Low-A outfielder Marshall Toole to the Rays. Toole feels like a Rays-type prospect, […]

Yankees MILB 9/12: Brock Selvidge Goes 7 Strong Innings

Notes: Trade analysis links: Jose Caballero/Camilo Doval (link) David Bednar/Jake Bird (link) Ryan McMahon (link) Amed Rosario (link) Austin Slater (link) Updated look at the trade deadline. My thoughts on Core Jackson. Arizona Fall League Players Injury Log Scranton (82-57; 44-23 in second half) (Lost to Lehigh Valley, 9-5) Lehigh Valley is 5.5 games back. Syracuse won to pull within […]

Yankees MILB 8/17: Ben Hess: 6 Scoreless Innings

Notes: Trade analysis links: Jose Caballero/Camilo Doval (link) David Bednar/Jake Bird (link) Ryan McMahon (link) Amed Rosario (link) Austin Slater (link) SS Jackson Lovich isn’t in Scranton after all. My “gut” was telling me that it was a weird assignment, but I also know teams sometimes move players to advanced levels if they have an emergency need. Anyway, erase that from […]

Yankees MILB 7/30: Brendan Beck Tosses 6 Scoreless Innings

Notes: A boring day for minor league news overall. Trade analysis links: Ryan McMahon (link) Amed Rosario (link) Austin Slater (link) Injury Log Scranton (60-40; 22-6 in second half) (Squeaked past Nashville, 1-0) DH Jesus Rodriguez: 1-for-4 Rodriguez increases his hitting streak to 17 (24-for-72 (.333); 2 doubles, 1 triple, 4 HR, 17 RBI, 16 R, 10 BB, 10 […]
