Yankees MILB 8/10: Spencer Jones Hits #30

Notes: Trade analysis links: Jose Caballero/Camilo Doval (link) David Bednar/Jake Bird (link) Ryan McMahon (link) Amed Rosario (link) Austin Slater (link) My concern about J.C. Escarra being pulled last night? I should have been more concerned about Amed Rosario not being in the lineup against a left-handed pitcher yesterday. It’s too bad that the Yankees finally cared about adding some bench pieces to […]

Yankees MILB 7/9: The Spencer Jones Show

Notes: As I said last night, pulling a player from the lineup doesn’t mean they were traded. OF Everson Pereira is sick. OF Bryan De La Cruz is injured. As for DJ LeMahieu, I have been rough on him over the last few seasons, as he hasn’t been productive. The only reason why it should be shocking that he […]

Yankees MILB 5/13: Omar Martinez: 4 Hits, HR

Notes: The Yankees signed RHP Anthony DeSclafani to a minor league contract and assigned him to Scranton. The 35-year-old has 180 games (169 starts) of MLB experience from 2014 to 2023. He is 54-56 in those appearances with a 4.20 ERA (4.16 FIP). He has pitched for the Marlins, Reds, and Giants. In 2023, he posted a […]

Yankees MILB 5/8: Ben Hess Dominates

Notes: OF Brennen Davis started his rehab stint in the FCL today. Once a top prospect for the Cubs (Baseball America ranked him 16th in 2022, and he played in the 2021 Futures Game), injuries have slowed him down. In 2021, as a 21-year-old trying Double-A for the first time, he hit an impressive .252/.367/.474 […]

Yankees MILB 5/7: Everson Pereira Walks it Off

Notes: Jonathan Loaisiga‘s rehab was moved to Scranton today. He tossed a pair of scoreless innings. Injury Log Scranton (17-17) (Split a doubleheader against Rochester) Game 1 (Won, 5-3, on a walk-off blast by Everson Pereira. Scranton hit three home runs in the bottom of the 7th to take the win) LF Everson Pereira: 2-for-4, HR […]

Yankees MILB 5/6: George Lombard Jr.’s Somerset Debut

Notes: Outfielder Spencer Jones was placed on the injured list for Somerset, robbing us of a chance to see arguably the top two prospects in the system in the same lineup. In a related move, Christopher Familia was activated from the Development List. RP Scott Effross (yes, he does exist) is on a rehab stint in the FCL. Speaking of […]

Yankees MILB 5/2: Spencer Jones Goes Yard

Notes: With Jazz Chisholm Jr. out until early-to-mid June or longer, the opportunity is there for Jorbit Vivas to make an impression. I won’t ignore the fact that it will eventually open a spot for DJ LeMahieu. Beyond that, your depth is Braden Shewmake (activated off the IL today and on the 40-man), Jake Gatewood, and Andrew Velazquez. If anyone dares to ask […]

Yankees MILB 4/24: Cam Schlittler Dominates

Notes: Nothing newsworthy. Injury Log Scranton (12-11) (Lost to Charlotte, 10-3) CF Ismael Munguia: 1-for-4, HR (2), RBI, R, K Munguia hits a lead-off blast. The rest of the night didn’t go their way. 2B Jorbit Vivas: 0-for-3, R, BB, K Vivas was called up to MLB in 2024 and 2025. He has yet to appear in […]

Yankees MILB 4/9: Ben Hess Dominates in Debut

Rumfield: 1-for-3, 2B (3), R, BB LF Dominic Smith: 3-for-4, R C Alex Jackson: 2-for-3, 2B (1), HR (1), 3 RBI, R, BB Hitting in the minors hasn’t been a massive problem for […]

Yankees MILB 9/17: Spencer Jones Homers, Collects 3 Hits

News: The Yankees recently released LHP Victor Gonzalez, who was toiling in Triple-A after mediocre results in MLB earlier this season. Seen as a potential Wandy Peralta replacement, Gonzalez was never able to get into a consistent groove. The trade with the Dodgers comes down to how the two prospects (Trey Sweeney (now with Detroit) and Jorbit Vivas) perform. Scranton […]
