Yankees MILB 9/9: Jesus Rodriguez Hits a Slam

News: The Yankees sent RHP Ron Marinaccio and LHP Matt Krook back down to Scranton after today’s game, meaning that two new pitchers are on their way to the Bronx. People are hoping for RHP Clayton Beeter, but he pitched on Friday. It is possible they will bring up a temporary filler before giving Beeter a roster spot once rested.  RHP […]

Yankees MILB 8/23: Ben Rice Homers Again

News: Nothing new. Scranton (59-61; 25-21 in the second half) (Split a doubleheader against Lehigh Valley) This is a big series against Lehigh Valley, the team they are chasing for the second-half title. It is a logjam, however, as four teams are between Lehigh Valley and Scranton in the standings. Game 1 (Won, 4-3, in […]

Yankees MILB 8/17: Solid Night for Richard Fitts

News: Estevan Florial‘s stay on the injured list was short-lived as he returned to action tonight. Both OF Everson Pereira and C Austin Wells didn’t play tonight for Scranton, fueling speculation that one or both could be on their way to New York. There is nothing (yet) that indicates this will happen (players do get random days off in […]

Yankees MILB 6/24: Andres Chaparro Hits a Slam

News: I have expressed some concern about OF Jasson Dominguez‘s struggles in Double-A. While some of the numbers aren’t good, remind yourself of this: Dominguez made his Double-A debut in 2022 at the age of 19. At 19, Ezequiel Duran was struggling down in Pulaski (at the time, a Yankees’ short-season affiliate) as he hit .201/.251/.311 (48 wRC+; […]

Yankees MILB 5/9: Andres Chaparro Goes Off

News: IF Caleb Durbin, acquired in the deal that sent LHP Lucas Luetge to Atlanta, was promoted to Somerset. Durbin was hitting .333/.464/.397 in 97 plate appearances for Hudson Valley, stealing 15 bases in 16 attempts. He struck out only nine times. You won’t find him on many (if any) prospect lists because the upside is limited […]
