Yankees MILB 7/27: Josh Grosz Dominates

News: Nothing to report. Just kidding. The Yankees acquired IF/OF Jazz Chisholm Jr. from the Marlins today for three prospects – C/1B Agustin Ramirez, 2B/SS Jared Serna, and IF Abrahan Ramirez. The most significant prospect is Agustin Ramirez, who blossomed into arguably the best Yankees minor league bat over the past two seasons. Between Somerset and Scranton this […]

Yankees MILB 7/11: Roderick Arias Has Multi-Hit Night

News: Catching up on the news: RHP Justin Lange was transferred to the full-season injury list. Acquired for Luke Voit, Lange was a $2,000,000 signing by the Padres from the 2020 draft. Like many of his ilk, Lange flashes moments of brilliance mixed with plenty of frustration due to his lack of command/control of his potentially elite stuff. […]

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 7/4: Jorbit Vivas Doubles Twice

News: Happy 4th of July! LHP Henry Lalane made his 2024 debut today. Standing 6’7″, Lalane was born in the Bronx but moved to the Dominican Republic when he was four months old (which is why he was an international signing and not a draftee). What makes him interesting? A kid his size typically has control […]

Yankees MILB 6/22: Jesus Rodriguez Hits First Double-A Homer

News: RHP Cam Schlittler was promoted to Scranton from Hudson Valley. This is likely a move for need rather than a permanent placement. Typically speaking, a prospect isn’t going to skip over Double-A. Schlittler has put together a solid season, pitching to a 2.32 ERA (3.97 FIP) over 54.1 innings with a 56.4% GB, 31.7% K, […]

Yankees MILB 6/20: Spencer Jones: 2 Hits, RBI, SB, BB

News: OF Jasson Dominguez will miss at least eight weeks due to an oblique injury. That pushes his return to mid-August, where he will undoubtedly be rusty. He can still be one of the September call-ups, but we must be realistic about 2024 expectations. He hasn’t played much and the Yankees will likely be cautious. As […]

Acquired from the Cubs for Hayden Wesneski, he pitched to a 2.54 ERA (2.46 FIP) in 2022 with a 27.1% K and 44% GB. While he isn’t a traditional “blow it past you” reliever, he […]

Yankees MILB 6/13: Brock Selvidge Ks 9

News: OF Everson Pereira was placed on the full-season injured list by Scranton. As you might be able to guess, that means he is done for the year. Pereira will end the season at .265/.346/.512 (118 wRC+) in 182 PA for Scranton. He swatted 10 home runs and drove in 27. However, his strikeout rate was […]
