Yankees MILB 6/17: Jesus Rodriguez is Rolling
Notes: Infielder Owen Cobb and infielder/outfielder Austin Green were placed on the injured list for Tampa. That likely explains the promotion of Santiago Gomez last week. Cobb, a 23-year-old signed as an undrafted free agent out of Stanford, is hitting .333/.385/.544 in 106 plate appearances. He is 11-for-14 stealing bases. Green, 23, was drafted in the 14th round in the […]

Notes: RHP Bryce Cunningham (Hudson Valley) was activated from the 7-day injured list today. He started in tonight’s game. 1B/OF Dominic Smith, released last week, signed with the San Francisco Giants. To make room, the Giants designated LaMonte Wade Jr. for assignment. Between 2023 and 2024, Wade Jr. was a solid offensive performer, hitting .258/.376/.401 (120 […]

Notes: RHP Jake Woodford triggered his May 31st opt-out and is now a free agent. Most veteran players include various opt-out clauses in their spring training and minor league deals. The opt-outs are a way to force the MLB team to either add them to the 26-man roster or let them go. On occasion, the player […]

Notes: A lot of roster assignments in the DSL today in anticipation of their openers on Monday. I say openers because the Yankees have two Dominican Summer League (DSL) teams. If you are new to this, they do play each other during the season. One unique feature of the DSL is that the rosters do […]

Notes: Nothing that would interest you. Injury Log Scranton (23-26) (Knocked off Worcester, 11-6) 3B Jesus Rodriguez: 3-for-5, RBI Rodriguez has seven 3-hit efforts since his promotion (32 games) and has 31 hits in 19 May games. This is incredible to watch, no matter what one thinks of his prospect status. LF Dominic Smith: 0-for-4, R, BB, […]

Notes: Nothing to see here. Injury Log Scranton (22-25) (Doubled up Nashville, 10-5) DH Jesus Rodriguez: 3-for-4, RBI, SB (8), CS (4), BB, K Rodriguez extends his hitting streak to 13 (seven multi-hit efforts). He is hitting .389 with a .970 OPS since his promotion (44 hits in 30 games). All he does is hit, hit, […]

Notes: Cooper Hummel has exercised an opt-out clause in his contract and will become a free agent if the Yankees don’t add him to their 26-man roster. I find that unlikely, as his MLB career (.159/.255/.275 in 82 games) hardly inspires confidence. Furthermore, he is primarily an outfielder, which the Yankees don’t need. I wouldn’t cry […]

Notes: RHP Greysen Carter, the hard thrower with no idea where the ball is going, was sent to the FCL today. Carter, who hit 100+ MPH earlier this season, made seven starts for Tampa, going 1-3 with a 6.75 ERA over 24 innings with a 20.2% K and 21.8% BB. RHP J.T. Etheridge replaces Carter on […]
