Yankees MILB 7/12: George Lombard Jr.’s Futures Game Performance

Notes: George Lombard Jr. went 1-for-2 with a double, an RBI, a stolen base, and a run scored in today’s Futures Game. He played second base and shortstop. A reminder that full-season affiliates take the same four days off as their MLB counterparts. Tomorrow is their last game until next Friday. Injury Log Scranton (51-37; […]

Yankees MILB 7/5: Everson Pereira Completes the Cycle

Notes: 1B/3B Jeimer Candelario was signed to a minor league deal after being released by the Cincinnati Reds. Candelario, a 31-year-old switch-hitter, hit a robust .113/.198/.213 (10 wRC+ – they give you nine points just for spelling your name right)  in 91 plate appearances for the Reds this season. Yay. In an ill-advised deal, the […]

Yankees MILB 5/31: Dillon Lewis’ Hot May Ends with a Homer

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 […]

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 4/18: Roderick Arias Hits a Slam

Notes: I don’t typically write much about releases, as they happen often (especially in the lower minors and DSL), but I saw today that the Yankees released RHP Kristofer Bow, their 14th-round pick in 2022. Bow didn’t lack talent, but control is an issue. Last season, for Tampa, he went 3-2 with a pair of saves […]

News: Oswald Peraza‘s rehab stint is over and he has been assigned to Scranton. While this was inevitable, it is now official: Peraza’s final option has been used. They won’t be able to demote him in 2025 without exposing him to waivers. OF Brando Mayea made his 2024 debut on Monday, going 0-for-1 with a […]
