Scranton (24-26) (Lost to Worcester, 11-7)

CF Estevan Florial: 1-for-4, 2B (5), RBI, RS, BB, K

RF Kole Calhoun: 0-for-4, K
DH Franchy Cordero: 0-for-4, K
C Carlos Narvaez: 1-for-3, RS, BB
1B Billy McKinney: 1-for-3, RS, K

RHP James Norwood: 1 IP, 3 H, 3 R, 3 ER, 2 BB, 2 K, HR
Norwood, who has 48 games of MLB experience, has struggled this season. The one positive is the 29 K in 17.2 IP.

2.45 ERA (22 IP, 15 H, 7 R, 6 ER, 4 HR, 11 BB, 24 K)

1B T.J. Rumfield: 1-for-4
3B Tyler Hardman: 0-for-4, 2 K
2B Caleb Durbin: 2-for-4, 2B (3), 3B (1), RS, SB (10)
Durbin’s third straight multi-hit game. Between here and Hudson Valley, Durbin is 25-for-29 in the stolen base department. As for the “strikeout watch,” he now has one strikeout in 60 plate appearances since his promotion.
RF Jeisson Rosario: 2-for-2, RBI, 2 BB, SB (4)
DH Anthony Seigler: 0-for-4, 2 K

RHP Blane Abeyta: (L, 2-3) 4.2 IP, 8 H, 8 R, 7 ER, 4 BB, 6 K, 3 HR

Myatt was throwing pretty well this season but the walks finally catch up to him.
RHP Shawn Semple: 1.2 IP, 2 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 3 K

Hudson Valley (26-18) (Lost to Wilmington, 7-5)

SS Alexander Vargas: 2-for-5, 2B (4), 2 RS, K

A successful rehab game for Breaux.

RF Grant Richardson: 0-for-3, BB
1B Rafael Flores: 0-for-4, 2 K
CF Aldenis Sanchez: 0-for-4, 2 K
3B Ben Cowles: 2-for-4, RS
Cowles, who was hitting .208 at the end of April, is up to .277 (.818 OPS) thanks to a 20-for-59 (.339) May. 
2B Luis Santos: 1-for-3, BB, K

RHP Chase Hampton: 5.1 IP, 3 H, 2 R, 2 ER, 2 BB, 10 K, 2 HR
3.15 ERA (34.1 IP, 27 H, 16 R, 12 ER, 5 HR, 13 BB, 59 K). Is the 22-year-old strikeout machine on a fast track to Somerset in his first professional season?
RHP Carlos Gomez (L, 2-2): 1.2 IP, 3 H, 4 R, 4 ER, 1 BB, 2 K, HR
RHP Harrison Cohen: 1 IP, 2 H, 1 R, 1 ER, 0 BB, 3 K
3.18 ERA (14.2 IP, 14 H, 7 R, 6 ER, 2 HR, 6 BB, 21 K)

Tampa (17-27) (Lost a tough one to Palm Beach, 7-6. The Cardinals scored three in the bottom of the 9th to win)

DH Jared Serna: 1-for-4
Serna’s hitting streak has reached 8. He is hitting .322/.388/.550 in 165 PA (8 doubles, 1 triple, 8 HR, 23 RBI, 26 R, 15 BB, 21 K, 9-for-12 SB). He has been so good that his average has actually dropped slightly during his hitting streak.
CF Anthony Hall: 0-for-1, 2 RS, 3 BB, CS (2)
Hall is seeing the ball well here now and should get himself to Hudson Valley at some point. He is hitting .255/.386/.383 in 114 PA with 19 BB (16.7%) and 21 K (18.4%). In May, Hall is hitting .328/.461/.459.
RF Daury Arias: 2-for-4, HR (2, GS), 4 RBI, 2 RS, K
Arias hit 13 HR in 97 rookie league games, so he showed off some pop before reaching the world of a full-season league. 
C Omar Martinez: 1-for-4, RBI, 2 K
.228/.366/.396 in 123 PA. This is his 7th start behind the plate (17 at first base)
SS Brenny Escanio: 0-for-3, SF, RBI, K
1B Jesus Rodriguez: 0-for-3, BB
2B Brett Barrera: 0-for-4, K

LF Felix Negueis: 0-for-1, RS, 2 BB, K, CS (1)

RHP Justin Lange: 1 IP, 3 H, 2 R, 2 ER, 2 BB, 1 K
I am hoping he was pulled due to the 41 pitches he tossed in the first inning.
RHP Yorlin Calderon: 2 IP, 2 H, 1 R, 0 ER, 1 BB, 2 K
RHP Mason Vinyard: 3 IP, 2 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 2 K
3.33 ERA (24.1 IP, 15 H, 11 R, 9 ER, 1 HR, 10 BB, 32 K). According to Savant, Vinyard throws a sinker, slider, and change. The sinker is in the 91-94 range.
LHP Geoffrey Gilbert: 1 IP, 2 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 2 K
Gilbert throws in the low 90s. Season: 2.25 ERA (20 IP, 15 H, 6 R, 5 ER, 0 HR, 11 BB, 26 K)
RHP Matt Keating (L, 3-3): 1.2 IP, 4 H, 4 R, 2 ER, 2 BB, 0 K
Keating has been good this year, so we’ll just chalk this up to a bad day. Season: 2.21 ERA (20.1 IP, 15 H, 8 R, 5 ER, 2 HR, 11 BB, 29 K)
RHP Cole Ayers: 0 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 0 K

 

Yankees MILB 5/26: Everson Pereira Homers

News:

Nothing new to report.

Scranton (24-25) (Defeated Worcester, 5-2)

CF Elijah Dunham: 1-for-5, HR (3), RBI, RS, 3 K
Dunham’s first home run since May 6th. He is hitting .225/.361/.344. I like the walk rate (14.8%) and hopefully the rest of his offense will start rounding into form. 
DH Josh Donaldson: 0-for-3, RS, 2 BB, 2 K
SS Oswald Peraza: 2-for-5, SB (6)
Peraza is 15-for-39 (.385) since coming back down here with two doubles and five home runs.
LF Kole Calhoun: 0-for-2, 2 BB, K
3B Andres Chaparro: 1-for-3, SF, RBI, K
Chaparro is now the proud owner of a 5-game hitting streak (8-for-19). 
RF Franchy Cordero: 0-for-1, RS, 3 BB
C Carlos Narvaez: 0-for-3, K
1B Billy McKinney: 1-for-4, HR (7), 2 RBI, RS
McKinney has homered in back-to-back games.
2B Jesus Bastidas: 2-for-3, HR (5), RBI, RS, BB
.255/.321/.404 in 159 PA. After the games of May 14th, his triple slash was .223/.268/.321.

RHP Jhony Brito: (W, 1-0)  5 IP, 6 H, 2 R, 1 ER, 2 BB, 6 K, HR
I always like to see a kid do well after a demotion. It isn’t easy to go back down to the minors when you get a taste of the majors.
RHP Deivi Garcia: 2 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 2 BB, 5 K
3.91 ERA (25.1 IP, 20 H, 12 R, 11 ER, 3 HR, 19 BB, 26 K)
LHP D.J. Snelten (S, 2): 2 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 4 K

Somerset (24-18) (Lost to Erie, 10-4. The Patriots compiled 8 hits and walked 7 times, but couldn’t keep up with Erie, who benefitted from a couple of Somerset errors (five unearned runs))

SS Trey Sweeney: 1-for-3, RS, 2 BB
Sweeney now has 21 walks in 20 May games. He is hitting .239/.382/.333 in 173 plate appearances.
LF Jasson Dominguez: 1-for-2, RBI, 3 BB
Dominguez has six walks in his last three games (he has three 3-walk games this season and 11 multi-walk games) 
C Austin Wells: 0-for-5
CF Everson Pereira: 1-for-5, HR (7), RBI, RS
Pereira’s hitting streak reached 9 (15-for-35; 2 doubles, 3 HR)
3B Tyler Hardman: 2-for-5, 2 RBI, 3 K
.233/.309/.508 in 136 PA

8-for-17 in his last four games with three doubles and a home run.
RF Jeisson Rosario: 0-for-3, BB, 2 K
DH Anthony Seigler: 0-for-3, BB
Seigler increases his walk streak to nine games.

RHP Gray Fenter: (L, 2-2) 4.2 IP, 3 H, 5 R, 1 ER, 4 BB, 5 K
RHP Justin Maese: 1 IP, 2 H, 1 R, 1 ER, 1 BB, 2 K
LHP Lisandro Santos: 1.1 IP, 1 H, 4 R, 3 ER, 4 BB, 0 K
RHP Zac Houston: 1 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 1 K
Houston’s first appearance since 4/27.

Hudson Valley (26-17) (Defeated Wilmington, 5-2)

CF Spencer Jones: 0-for-4, BB, 2 K
Jones has run into a brick wall – it shouldn’t last, but sometimes we (“we” includes “me”) have to realize that sometimes there is a reason why a player stays at a particular level.
2B Eduardo Torrealba: 1-for-3, RBI, RS, 2 HBP, SB (4)
LF Aaron Palensky: 2-for-4, 2B (8), 3B (2), RBI, RS, BB, K
.339/.420/.736 in 138 PA. Palensky has earned at least one extra-base hit in four straight games (4 doubles, 1 triple, 2 home runs)
DH Antonio Gomez: 1-for-4, 2B (6), RBI, RS, BB, K
1B Spencer Henson: 3-for-5, HR (8), RBI, RS, K
.282/.361/.540 in 144 plate appearances. Henson is 9-for-16 in his last three games.
C Rafael Flores: 1-for-5, 2 K
Flores is now on a 5-game hitting streak (8-for-22)
RF Aldenis Sanchez: 2-for-4, 2B (5), RBI
.253/.333/.400 in 113 PA. He is 15-for-50 in May.
SS Ben Cowles: 1-for-2, 2B (6), RS, BB, HBP
Cowles is 18-for-55 (.327) in May with four doubles and a home run.
3B Marcos Cabrera: 0-for-4, 2 K

RHP Juan Carela: (W, 2-2) 6.1 IP, 3 H, 1 R, 0 ER, 3 BB, 3 K
3.44 ERA (36.2 IP, 29 H, 19 R, 14 ER, 1 HR, 15 BB, 42 K). Only one of his starts is truly bad (3.1 IP, 12 H, 9 R, 8 ER on 4/29)
LHP Ryan Anderson: 1.2 IP, 3 H, 1 R, 1 ER, 0 BB, 2 K
RHP Bailey Dees (S, 2): 1 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 2 K
3.32 ERA (19 IP, 14 H, 7 R, 7 ER, 2 HR, 8 BB, 30 K)

Tampa (17-26) (Played two and won two against Palm Beach)

Game 1 (Won, 6-2)

2B Jared Serna: 1-for-4, 2B (8), RBI, K
LF Anthony Hall: 0-for-3, BB, K
SS Brenny Escanio: 1-for-3, RS, BB, K
CF Nelson Medina: 3-for-4, HR (4), RBI, RS, SB (6)
Medina’s second 3-hit game of 2023, as he sets a new personal best for HR in a season.
C Jesus Rodriguez: 1-for-4, RS, K
DH Omar Martinez: 0-for-2, BB, 2 K
.227/.370/.402 in 119 PA. 
3B Brett Barrera: 1-for-3, 2 RBI, K
Barrera, last year’s 8th-round pick, is only 2-for-24 this season. Hence, I am sure he was relieved to get that 2-run single.
1B Ronny Rojas: 2-for-3, 2 RS, SB (4)
RF Felix Negueis: 1-for-2, 2B (1), RBI, RS, BB, K
Given that Negueis is an impossible-to-fathom 3-for-54 this season, this double was a welcome sight. His BABIP is an unsightly .065. Suffice it to say, an “unlucky” BABIP is nearly 200 points higher than his.

LHP Brock Selvidge: (W, 2-3) 6 IP, 4 H, 2 R, 1 ER, 0 BB, 4 K
3.40 ERA (39.2 IP, 38 H, 18 R, 15 ER, 2 HR, 7 BB, 40 K). Selvidge walked 3.59/9 last season. This season, the rate is 1.59/9.
RHP Alex Bustamante: 1 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 0 K
2.37 ERA (19 IP, 7 H, 7 R, 5 ER, 0 HR, 12 BB, 22 K)

Game 2 (Won, 5-2)

2B Jared Serna: 1-for-4, 2 RS, K, SB (9)
Serna is on a 7-game hitting streak (9-for-28). 9-for-28 doesn’t do anything for Serna’s average, as he is hitting .324 (he was hitting .325 when the streak began)
SS Brenny Escanio: 0-for-3, BB
C Agustin Ramirez: 2-for-3, HR (5), 4 RBI, RS
Ramirez had a 6-RBI game on 6/14/22.
LF Anthony Hall: 1-for-3, K, CS (1)
DH Daury Arias: 0-for-2, BB, K
CF Nelson Medina: 1-for-3, RS, K
Medina is hitting .283 in 133 PA (7 doubles,1 triple, 4 HR, 22 RBI, 14 R, 18 BB, 43 K)
RF Tayler Aguilar: 1-for-3, 2B (8), RBI, 2 K
Aguilar has eight doubles in 92 plate appearances. 
3B Beau Brewer: 0-for-3
1B Ronny Rojas: 0-for-1, RS, 2 BB, K, SB (5)

RHP Sean Hermann: (W, 3-4)  5 IP, 4 H, 2 R, 2 ER, 0 BB, 4 K
5.31 ERA (39 IP, 41 H, 24 R, 23 ER, 3 HR, 12 BB, 32 K). He tossed five scoreless innings his last time out, so maybe he is starting to get into a groove.
RHP Manny Ramirez: (S, 2)   2 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 1 K

Yankees MILB 5/25: Estevan Florial Hits a Slam

News:

Nothing new to report.

Scranton (23-25) (Walloped Worcester (the Red Sox affiliate) again, 10-1)

CF Estevan Florial: 1-for-5, HR (11, GS), 4 RBI, RS, 4 K
If this night doesn’t describe Estevan Florial, what does? He is hitting .313/.433/.619 in 164 PA (4 doubles, 2 triples, 11 HR, 25 RBI, 30 R, 29 BB (17.7%), 55 K (33.5%), 10-for-15 SB). He has eight home runs in his last ten games. That is absurd.
3B Josh Donaldson: 1-for-3
The rehab begins.
  PH-3B Wilmer Difo: 1-for-2, RBI
SS Oswald Peraza: 1-for-5, HR (5), RBI, RS, 2 K
Peraza has homered in back-to-back games and has four home runs in his last five games. He is hitting .333/.385/.583.
RF Kole Calhoun: 2-for-5, 3 RS, K
DH Andres Chaparro: 2-for-3, HBP
Chaparro is back up to .260/.335/.497 in 194 plate appearances. He is 7-for-16 in his last four games, though it (surprisingly) comes without an extra-base hit.
LF Elijah Dunham: 3-for-4, 2 RBI, 2 RS
He is starting to collect some hits, but most of the games have been 1-for types. Tonight’s 3-hit effort was much needed.
C Rodolfo Duran: 2-for-3, 2B (10), 2 RBI, RS, HBP
.296/.345/.583 in 116 plate appearances (10 doubles, 7 HR, 24 RBI, 14 R, 6 BB, 23 K). Duran hit .202 in 2021 and .222 last season.
2B Jamie Westbrook: 0-for-4, K
1B Carlos Narvaez: 1-for-2, 2B (1), 2 RS, 2 BB
Narvaez is 5-for-23 (.217) since his promotion, but that comes with 8 walks (.419 OBP)

RHP Mitch Spence: (W, 4-2)  5.2 IP, 7 H, 1 R, 1 ER, 2 BB, 3 K
4.86 ERA (50 IP, 52 H, 32 R, 27 ER, 10 HR, 19 BB, 42 K)
RHP Tommy Kahnle: 1 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 0 K
One has to assume he will be back in the Bronx soon.
RHP James Norwood: 0.1 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 1 K
RHP Colten Brewer: 1 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 1 K
RHP Greg Weissert: 1 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 1 K

Somerset (24-17) (Lost to Erie, 7-6)

SS Trey Sweeney: 0-for-4, BB, 2 K, SB (7)
Sweeney has 19 walks in May. He is 17-for-71 during this stretch (.239)
CF Jasson Dominguez: 0-for-3, RS, 2 BB, K
.194/.358/.380 in 165 plate appearances. One had to expect some ups and downs at this level – he’ll get hot again.
RF Everson Pereira: 1-for-4, BB, 2 K, SB (7)
Obviously, whatever the reason for him being pulled in the first inning last night was no big deal. Pereira extends his hitting streak to eight (14-for-30). His triple slash has improved from .228/.297/.436 to .282/.349/.504 during the streak.
3B Tyler Hardman: 1-for-4, 3B (2), RBI, K
15 of Hardman’s 26 hits have gone for extra bases (.226/.305/.513)
2B Caleb Durbin: 2-for-4, 2 RBI, RS, CS (3)
Durbin now has one strikeout in 56 plate appearances since his promotion (1.8%) and ten in 153 PA overall (6.5%). All the contact is finally leading to some results for Durbin, who has back-to-back multi-hit games and is now hitting .250 for Somerset.
C Anthony Seigler: 0-for-3, RS, BB, 2 K
Seigler has walked in eight straight games (11 walks). He is only 2-for-23 in those games.
LF Jeisson Rosario: 1-for-4, K
DH Max Burt: 0-for-4, 3 K
1B Eric Wagaman: 2-for-4, HR (3), 3 RBI, RS
Wagaman does have some pop, evidenced by hitting 13 home runs in 69 games last season. He has seven home runs in 35 career Double-A contests.

RHP Clayton Beeter: 5 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 3 BB, 6 K
3.03 ERA (38.2 IP, 32 H, 13 R, 13 ER, 3 HR, 21 BB, 49 K). To reach his full potential, he will need to bring that BB rate down. That said, the strikeout rate remains strong.
RHP Indigo Diaz: 1 IP, 3 H, 3 R, 3 ER, 1 BB, 2 K
3.12 ERA (17.1 IP, 17 H, 7 R, 6 ER, 0 HR, 15 BB, 25 K)
RHP Justin Wilson (L, 0-1): 1 IP, 3 H, 4 R, 4 ER, 1 BB, 2 K, HR
LHP Michael Giacone: 1 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 2 K
1.86 ERA (19.1 IP, 12 H, 6 R, 4 ER, 1 HR, 10 BB, 25 K). He has 100 strikeouts in 72.2 career innings.

Hudson Valley (25-17) (After a brutal 10-9 loss last night, they score three in the final two innings to win 10-8 tonight)

CF Spencer Jones: 0-for-4, RBI, RS, BB, 3 K
Jones is down to .272/.313/.530 in 163 PA. He is 5-for-34 in his last eight games with 17 strikeouts.
SS Alexander Vargas: 2-for-5, RBI, RS, K, CS (4)
I was wondering how he might react to his extended slump. So far, he is 6-for-15 in his last three games. 
LF Aaron Palensky: 3-for-5, 2 2B (7), HR (12), 3 RBI, 3 RS, 2 K, SB (9)
His ridiculous triple slash is up to .333/.414/.718 in 133 plate appearances. Palensky is 9-for-17 in his last four games with three doubles and two home runs. 
C Antonio Gomez: 1-for-5, 2B (5), RBI, RS
It has been a struggle for Gomez, but his double in the top of the 9th gave Hudson Valley the 9-8 lead.
DH Spencer Henson: 2-for-5, RS
This is a nice follow-up to his four-hit game yesterday. These two games alone have improved his triple slash from .241/.336/.491 to .269/.353/.513.
1B Rafael Flores: 4-for-5, 2 RBI, RS, K
Flores has a pair of 4-hit games this year (in addition to two 3-hit contests). He is hitting .333/.388/.410 in 134 plate appearances. His BABIP is high, as you may suspect (.444)
RF Grant Richardson: 2-for-4, 2 RBI, RS, BB, K
Richardson now has a 7-game hitting streak (10-for-24). He is getting closer and closer to breaking the .200 barrier (.188).
3B Eduardo Torrealba: 1-for-5, 2 K
2B Ben Cowles: 2-for-5, RS, 2 K, SB (4)
Cowles is 17-for-53 (.321) in May after an 11-for-53 (.208) line in April.

RHP Zach Messinger: 4 IP, 8 H, 6 R, 5 ER, 4 BB, 2 K
3.12 ERA (40.1 IP, 36 H, 20 R, 14 ER, 2 HR, 18 BB, 46 K). Back-to-back less-than-ideal efforts, but one has to expect that from Messinger, who is still a newbie in the world of being a starting pitcher.
RHP Enrique Santana: 2 IP, 1 H, 2 R, 2 ER, 1 BB, 2 K, HR
RHP Danny Watson (W, 3-1): 2 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 4 K
1.54 ERA (23.1 IP, 11 H, 6 R, 4 ER, 1 HR, 9 BB, 39 K)
RHP Jack Neely (S, 2): 1 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 3 K
2.16 ERA (16.2 IP, 10 H, 6 R, 4 ER, 1 HR, 12 BB, 25 K). Both Watson and Neely are legitimate relief prospects who should find themselves in Double-A soon enough.

Tampa (15-26) (Lost to Palm Beach, 6-5, in ten innings ) – Due to a late start to Game 1, Game 2 was postponed. Hence, Game 1 was converted into a 9-inning game instead of a 7-inning game. Tomorrow, they will try to play two. Got it? Good.

SS Jared Serna: 2-for-5, 2B (7), HR (8), RBI, 2 RS, 2 K
Serna is up to .328 (7 doubles, 1 triple, 8 HR, 22 RBI, 24 R, 15 BB, 19 K, 8-for-11 SB). He is on a 5-game hitting streak (7-for-20; 3 HR) and all eight of his home runs have come in May (19 games)
DH Brenny Escanio: 1-for-5, 2 K
CF Daury Arias: 2-for-4, BB, K
Arias is 8-for-26 (.308) with four walks in his last seven games.
C Agustin Ramirez: 0-for-5, 3 K
LF Tayler Aguilar: 1-for-3, HR (2), RBI, RS, 2 BB, K
1B Omar Martinez: 0-for-4, RS, BB, 2 K
3B Jesus Rodriguez: 1-for-5, RS
2B Beau Brewer: 1-for-5
RF Alan Mejia: 1-for-5, 2 RBI, 2 K
His two-run single in the 8th tied the game at five. After an encouraging 2021 season in the DSL, he hasn’t been able to get much going since moving to the States.

RHP Kris Bow: 1.2 IP, 3 H, 4 R, 4 ER, 4 BB, 1 K
Bow is still getting his feet wet after a late start to his season.
RHP Shane Gray: 2.1 IP, 2 H, 1 R, 1 ER, 0 BB, 1 K, HR
RHP Ocean Gabonia: 2 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 2 K
4.73 ERA (13.1 IP, 15 H, 11 R, 7 ER, 0 HR, 9 BB, 15 K). Gabonia hasn’t allowed a home run in 34.1 professional innings.
RHP Cole Ayers: 2 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 3 K
3.63 ERA (17.1 IP, 15 H, 10 R, 7 ER, 5 BB, 22 K)
RHP Luis Velasquez: (L, 0-1)  1.2 IP, 0 H, 1 R, 0 BB, 2 K
Ghost runner was moved to third and scored on a sac fly.

Yankees MILB 5/24: Oswald Peraza Homers

News:

Nothing new to report.

Scranton (22-25) (Walloped Worcester, 15-2)

LF Estevan Florial: 2-for-5, 2 RS, BB, 2 K, SB (10)
His HR streak ends at four if you want one negative thing. Florial is up to .318/.440/.612 in 159 plate appearances (4 doubles, 2 triples, 10 HR, 21 RBI, 29 R, 10-for-15 SB, 29 BB (18.2%), 51 K (32.1%)). He is an incredible 26-for-70 (.371) in May with seven home runs (.714 SLG). 
SS Oswald Peraza: 2-for-5, HR (4), 2 RBI, 2 RS, HBP
Yawn. We all know he doesn’t belong here.
DH Kole Calhoun: 2-for-4, 2B (5), RBI, 3 RS, 2 BB, 2 K
Calhoun is mashing the way you expect a veteran like him to mash.
1B Andres Chaparro: 2-for-4, SF, RBI, 2 RS
.253/.326/.494 in 190 PA (6 doubles, 1 triple, 11 HR, 31 RBI, 32 R, 19 BB, 40 K). It has been a season of streaks for Chaparro – hopefully, he is starting to heat up again.
RF Franchy Cordero: 3-for-4, 2 2B (9), HR (2), 4 RBI, 4 RS, BB, K, SB (2)
He is in his element…
C Rodolfo Duran: 1-for-5, 2 RBI, RS
.286/.330/.571 in 112 plate appearances. For Somerset in 2022, he hit .222/.266/.414. This is why I say he has always shown some pop – if he is starting to show he can do more offensively, he is at least a high-level backup.
3B Jamie Westbrook: 1-for-2, 2B (5), RBI, 2 BB, HBP, K
CF Billy McKinney: 1-for-3, HR (6), 3 RBI, RS, 2 BB, K
2B Jesus Bastidas: 0-for-5, K

LHP Tanner Tully (W, 4-1): 5.2 IP, 8 H, 2 R, 2 ER, 1 BB, 4 K, HR
3.83 ERA (40 IP, 53 H, 20 R, 17 ER, 3 HR, 11 BB, 39 K). He is a veteran stabilizer.
LHP Matt Krook: 2 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 5 K
1.04 ERA (17.1 IP, 5 H, 5 R, 2 ER, 0 HR, 12 BB, 34 K). Walks have always been an issue. The Yankees added him to the 40-man this past winter, and we all know that those slots are precious.
RHP Matt Bowman: 1.1 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 2 K

Somerset (24-16) (Defeated Erie, 3-1)

SS Trey Sweeney: 1-for-5, 2 K
.244/.380/.344 in 163 PA. As long as he is drawing those walks, I am fine with his start to the season. I do think power will come (he hit 16 HR in 2021)
CF Jasson Dominguez: 2-for-4, 2B (4), RS, BB, SB (14)
A much-needed slump buster of a game for Dominguez, who is at .198/.356/.389 in 160 PA (4 doubles, 1 triple, 6 HR, 21 RBI, 30 R, 14-for-16 SB, 31 BB (19.4%), 40 K (25%)). 
C Austin Wells: 2-for-3, BB
Offensively, he has nothing to prove here. Everyone, including the Yankees, knows this. That only leaves the possibility that they are holding him here to work on defense. In his 72 games at Double-A between last year and this year, he is hitting .264/.360/.514 (11 doubles, 1 triple, 19 HR, 63 RBI, 47 R, 9-for-9 SB, 38 BB, 76 K)
RF Everson Pereira: 0-for-0
Pulled from the lineup in the top of the first inning. I don’t know why.
 PH-RF Jeisson Rosario: 0-for-4, RBI
1B T.J. Rumfield: 1-for-4, K
Rumfield is 15-for-48 (.313/.433/.625) in May (3 doubles, 4 HR, 11/8 BB/K)
3B Caleb Durbin: 2-for-4, RS
Since his promotion, Durbin is hitting .227/.346/.273 in 52 plate appearances. His .233 BABIP should improve. The most impressive number remains the 1 strikeout in those 52 plate appearances.
LF Brandon Lockridge: 0-for-2
I am not sure why Lockridge was pulled.
  LF Eric Wagaman: 0-for-2
2B Max Burt: 2-for-4, RBI, RS
DH Mickey Gasper: 0-for-3, SF, RBI, K

RHP Richard Fitts (W, 2-3): 6 IP, 5 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 5 K
5.26 ERA (39.1 IP, 43 H, 23 R, 23 ER, 7 HR, 11 BB, 41 K). I use the term “much-needed” very often – and that term applies to Richard Fitts’ start today.
RHP Alex Mauricio: 2 IP, 2 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 0 K
4.50 ERA (10 IP, 9 H, 5 R, 5 ER, 2 HR, 2 BB, 9 K).
RHP Steven Jennings (S, 1): 1 IP, 3 H, 1 R, 1 ER, 0 BB, 2 K

Hudson Valley (24-17) (Blew a 7-0 lead. They eventually lost to Wilmington, 10-9, in ten innings)

DH Spencer Jones: 1-for-5, RS, HBP, 2 K
Jones has one hit in each of his last three games as he tries to break out of a bit of a slump. He has struck out multiple times in six of his last seven games.
SS Alexander Vargas: 1-for-6, RS
.234/.290/.445 in 138 PA (3 doubles, 3 triples, 6 HR, 17 RBI, 19 R, 7-for-10 SB, 9 BB (6.5%), 35 K (25.4%)). His K% was 28.5 last season.
LF Aaron Palensky: 3-for-4, HR (11), RBI, 4 RS, 2 BB
.321/.406/.679 in 128 PA. This may just all be a “second taste of the level” fluke, but I think the Yankees need to see if there is more to it than that. His 11 HR are tied for the organizational lead with Andres Chaparro.
1B Spencer Henson: 4-for-6, 2 2B (8), 3 RBI, 2 RS, K
Henson’s first career 4-hit game. He is hitting .263/.351/.518 in 134 plate appearances. Like with Palensky, you at least have to think about moving him up at some point to see what is real and what isn’t.
C Rafael Flores: 1-for-4, RBI, RS, BB, K
CF Grant Richardson: 2-for-4, 2 RBI, BB
A 6-game hitting streak has raised Richardson’s triple slash from .110/.198/.205 to .172/.267/.280. Hey, it’s a start.
RF Aldenis Sanchez: 1-for-4, RBI, BB, K
3B Marcos Cabrera: 0-for-5, RBI, 2 K
2B Luis Santos: 0-for-5, 2 K

RHP Tyrone Yulie: 5 IP, 6 H, 4 R, 3 ER, 4 BB, 7 K, HR
6.00 ERA (33 IP, 29 H, 25 R, 22 ER, 5 HR, 21 BB, 41 K(
RHP Carlos Gomez: 1 IP, 5 H, 3 R, 2 ER, 0 BB, 1 K
RHP Nick Paciorek: 1 IP, 3 H, 2 R, 2 ER, 1 BB, 1 K
RHP Harrison Cohen (L, 0-1): 2.1 IP, 1 H, 1 R, 0 ER, 1 BB, 2 K

Tampa (15-25)

The game against Palm Beach was postponed.

Yankees MILB 5/19: Oswald Peraza Goes Off

News:

The Yankees have acquired some outfield depth tonight, as they acquire old friend Greg Allen from the Red Sox for minor league RHP Diego Hernandez. Allen hit .186/.260/.271 in 46 games for the Pirates in 2022 with an 8-for-10 stolen base rate. In Pawtucket this season, he hit .250/.407/.388 in 151 plate appearances with a perfect 23-for-23 stolen base rate. If you recall, Allen played in 15 games for the offensively-challenged 2021 Yankees, hitting .270/.417/.432 with four doubles. While that is an impressive small sample line, it doesn’t match up to his .232/.299/.336 career line. He brings a lot of speed – essentially he is up there with someone like Tim Locastro. 

Allen invoked a clause in his contract that stated that they needed to either promote him or trade him if another organization was offering him an MLB roster spot. So, expect him to make a trip out to Cincinnati.

Hernandez is a young pitcher (18) who pitched to a 2.10 ERA in 12 games (five starts) for the DSL squad last year.

Scranton (21-22) (Mauled Charlotte, 17-4)

CF Estevan Florial: 4-for-5, HR (8), RBI, 2 RS, BB
Florial is hitting .313/.441/.591 in 143 plate appearances. He has five home runs in his last six games. Wow.
SS Oswald Peraza: 4-for-5, 2 HR (3), 5 RBI, 4 RS, BB
What is he doing here?  He is hitting .358/.414/.566 in 13 games at this level with 11 RBI. I know it is hard to fit him into the MLB infield, but wow – he already proved last year that he was beyond Triple-A.
DH Elijah Dunham: 1-for-4, 2B (9), RS, 2 BB
Dunham reaches base three times as he tries to get his season going. 
LF Kole Calhoun: 2-for-4, HR (4), 4 RBI, 3 RS, 2 HBP
RF Franchy Cordero: 2-for-4, HR (1), 2 RBI, RS, 2 BB
It can be very easy for a player who tastes MLB to come down here and sulk. Cordero is hitting .370 with a 1.016 OPS.
C Rodolfo Duran: 0-for-6, K
There is always one player who misses the party. Do something big tomorrow!
1B Billy McKinney: 2-for-3, RBI, RS, 3 BB
3B Jamie Westbrook: 0-for-6, RS, K
2B Jesus Bastidas: 2-for-3, HR (4), 2 RBI, 4 RS, BB, HBP, K
.246/.307/.385 in 137 plate appearances. He is 5-for-10 in his last three games with two home runs and eight (yes, eight) runs scored.

LHP Tanner Tully: (W, 3-1) 5 IP, 7 H, 2 R, 2 ER, 1 BB, 5 K, HR
LHP D.J. Snelten: 2 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 2 BB, 1 K
RHP Aaron McGarity: 2 IP, 2 H, 2 R, 2 ER, 0 BB, 1 K, 2 HR
The line may not impress – but he did what you want a pitcher to do in this spot – throw strikes.

Somerset (23-13) (Squeaked past Reading, 4-3)

SS Trey Sweeney: 0-for-3, RS, 2 BB
Sweeney continues to draw a lot of walks from the top of the lineup. He owns a .259/.406/.375 triple slash over 143 plate appearances with 27 walks (18.9%). 
LF Jasson Dominguez: 0-for-5, RBI, 2 K
DH Austin Wells: 0-for-4, BB, K
CF Everson Pereira: 1-for-3, 2 BB
.265/.333/.504 in 129 plate appearances. He is not a walking machine (this is his first multi-BB game of the season) but he does own a decent enough 9.3% BB.
1B T.J. Rumfield: 0-for-3, SF, RBI, RS, BB
Rumfield walks it off with a sacrifice fly. 
3B Tyler Hardman: 0-for-4, 2 K
2B Caleb Durbin: 2-for-3, 2 RS, BB, CS (2)
I think it is accurate to think of Durbin as a pesky type of hitter. He is hitting .200 (6-for-30) since his promotion but has walked four times with only one strikeout (He has ten strikeouts in 133 PA between here and Hudson Valley)
C Anthony Seigler: 1-for-2, 2 BB
.212/.376/.242 in 85 interesting plate appearances. While power doesn’t appear to be a big part of his game, he does need something better than a .242 SLG!
RF Brandon Lockridge: 1-for-3, 2 RBI, BB, K

RHP Clayton Beeter: 5 IP, 6 H, 3 R, 3 ER, 3 BB, 5 K
3.48 ERA (33.2 IP, 31 H, 13 R, 13 ER, 3 HR, 18 BB, 43 K). His last two starts haven’t been sharp after his big 6 IP, 11 K performance on 5/5.
RHP Tanner Myatt: 1.2 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 2 K
1.62 ERA (16.2 IP, 9 H, 3 R, 3 ER, 0 HR, 11 BB, 20 K). His season isn’t just an audition for the Yankees.
LHP Lisandro Santos (W, 1-1): 2.1 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 2 BB, 2 K
2.49 ERA (21.1 IP, 11 H, 7 R, 6 ER, 1 HR, 13 BB, 28 K). This pretty much matches up with his career before coming here – a lot of strikeouts, a lot of walks. 

Hudson Valley (22-15) (Lost to Brooklyn, 6-1)

CF Spencer Jones: 1-for-5, 3 K
.292/.329/.589 in 140 plate appearances. The biggest blemish is the 8/47 BB/K ratio.
SS Alexander Vargas: 0-for-4
Vargas is down to .225/.289/.450 in 121 plate appearances after a red-hot start. He is 2-for-23 in his last five games. This is the big test – can he rebound from an extended slump?
C Antonio Gomez: 0-for-2, 2 BB, 2 K
1B Rafael Flores: 2-for-4, 2 K
Flores increases his hitting streak to 9. He is hitting an impressive .333/.389/.422 in 113 plate appearances.
DH Spencer Henson: 0-for-3, BB, 2 K
LF Aaron Palensky: 0-for-3, BB, 2 K
RF Grant Richardson: 2-for-4, HR (3), RBI, RS
Richardson is off to a tough start (.138/.225/.263) after hitting 16 home runs and slugging .445 in 90 games last season. Maybe this night will get him going.
3B Eduardo Torrealba: 1-for-4
2B Ben Cowles: 1-for-4, 2 K
Cowles increases his on-base streak to 14.

RHP Juan Carela: (L, 1-2)  5.1 IP, 3 H, 2 R, 2 ER, 2 BB, 6 K
4.15 ERA (30.1 IP, 26 H, 18 R, 14 ER, 1 HR, 12 BB, 39 K). The 21-year-old is pitching fine thus far. 
RHP Enrique Santana: 0.2 IP, 3 H, 3 R, 3 ER, 1 BB, 1 K
RHP Harrison Cohen: 1 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 2 K
Since moving to Hudson Valley: 8 IP, 7 H, 3 R, 3 ER, 2 HR, 5 BB, 9 K
LHP Clay Aguilar: 1 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 1 K
3.97 ERA (11.1 IP, 8 H, 6 R, 5 ER, 0 HR, 9 BB, 18 K)
LHP Ryan Anderson: 1 IP, 2 H, 1 R, 1 ER, 0 BB, 0 K

Tampa (13-25) (Split a doubleheader with Dunedin)

Game 1 (Lost, 4-3, in eight innings)

SS Jared Serna: 1-for-4
This was just the appetizer for his Game 2 performance…
LF Anthony Hall: 1-for-4, RS, K
.250/.355/.400 in 93 plate appearances. In May, he is 16-for-47 (.340/.436/.511). He is catching on to this level, which was expected.
C Agustin Ramirez: 2-for-4, RS
.229/.353/.385 in 119 plate appearances.  He has 19 walks and 19 strikeouts (15.97% in each category)
PR Brett Barrera: 0-for-0
DH Brenny Escanio: 1-for-4, RBI, RS
CF Nelson Medina: 1-for-4, 2 K
3B Jesus Rodriguez: 0-for-3, K
RF Tayler Aguilar: 0-for-2, RBI, BB, K
2B Beau Brewer: 0-for-2, RBI, BB
1B Ronny Rojas: 0-for-2, BB

RHP Justin Lange: 4 IP, 3 H, 2 R, 2 ER, 4 BB, 8 K
3.81 ERA (28.1 IP, 15 H, 12 R, 12 ER, 0 HR, 19 BB, 53 K). There is a lot to digest in his stat line – but I will keep hammering home the point that this kid has rawness in his game that needs to be ironed out. That’s why the minor leagues exist.
RHP Ocean Gabonia: 2 IP, 3 H, 1 R, 1 ER, 2 BB, 0 K
5.56 ERA (11.1 IP, 14 H, 11 R, 7 ER, 0 HR, 8 BB, 13 K). 
RHP Shane Gray (L, 0-2): 2 IP, 2 H, 1 R, 0 ER, 2 BB, 0 K
5.03 ERA (19.2 IP, 18 H, 12 R, 11 ER, 2 HR, 9 BB, 30 K). The strikeouts standout as the highlight.

Game 2 (Won, 2-1)

DH Jared Serna: 2-for-2, HR (7), 2 RBI, 2 RS, BB
The first HR was a leadoff home blast and this is his first career multi-HR game. Serna has the potential to develop into a leadoff type of hitter – we are still a while away from that, of course. On the year, he is now hitting .333/.406/.569 in 138 PA (6 doubles, 1 triple, 7 HR, 21 RBI, 20 R, 14 BB, 16 K, 8-for-11 SB). The seven home runs are a new personal best (he hit six last year)
CF Daury Arias: 1-for-3, 2B (6)
SS Brenny Escanio: 0-for-1, 2 BB
.202/.314/.244 in 141 plate appearances with 11 stolen bases in 14 attempts. 
RF Nelson Medina: 0-for-3, 2 K
.280/.371/.460 in 116 plate appearances (7 doubles, 1 triple, 3 home runs, 20 RBI, 12 R, 14 BB, 37 K, 5-for-6 SB)
1B Jesus Rodriguez: 0-for-3
C Omar Martinez: 0-for-1, 2 BB
.253/.393/.448 in 107 plate appearances. He has a .391 career OBP in 524 plate appearances.
2B Brett Barrera: 0-for-3
3B Beau Brewer: 0-for-2
LF Felix Negueis: 0-for-2

RHP Sean Hermann: (W, 2-4)  5 IP, 2 H, 0 R, 3 BB, 3 K
5.56 ERA (34 IP, 37 H, 22 R, 21 ER, 3 HR, 12 BB, 28 K). What do I expect from a 19-year-old at this level? An improvement as the season goes on. I don’t expect him to become a pitching prodigy who flies up the system. 
LHP Geoffrey Gilbert: 1 IP, 4 H, 1 R, 1 ER, 0 BB, 0 K
2.50 ERA (18 IP, 13 H, 6 R, 5 ER, 0 HR, 11 BB, 23 K)
RHP Cole Ayers (S, 2): 1 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 2 K
4.11 ERA (15.1 IP, 14 H, 10 R, 7 ER, 2 HR, 5 BB, 19 K)

Yankees MILB 5/14: Spencer Jones Continues to Mash

News:

Oswald Peraza is officially on a rehab assignment down in Scranton. I tend to doubt they will activate him back on to the MLB roster when the assignment is over with, as long as everyone is healthy. We’ll see.

Scranton (17-22) (Lost to Omaha, 6-3)

CF Estevan Florial: 1-for-5, 3 K
SS Oswald Peraza: 1-for-4, HR (1), RBI, RS
Peraza homered in his first rehab at-bat. I know I sound like a broken record but people get nervous when top prospects are pulled: For as long as I can remember, the Yankees never have players play full games on their first day back from injury. Don’t worry about it unless they tell us otherwise.
  SS Wilmer Difo: 0-for-1, K
DH Ben Rortvedt: 0-for-5, K
3B Andres Chaparro: 1-for-4, BB, K
By trade, Chaparro is a masher. However, he does own an 11.5% BB rate this season. In the majors, that would be considered above league average. He is hitting .268/.353/.543 in 156 PA.
LF Elijah Dunham: 0-for-3, 2 BB, 3 K, SB (7)
.218/.359/.336 in 145 plate appearances. There is no doubt that it has been a struggle for Dunham (other than showing off some plate discipline). I still believe he will break out of it.
RF Franchy Cordero: 2-for-4, 2B (5), RS, 2 K
C Rodolfo Duran: 2-for-4, K, SB (1)
.295/.345/.551 in 84 plate appearances. This is his first stolen base since 8/27/18. He has never stolen two bases in a season.
1B Billy McKinney: 2-for-3, HR (4), RBI, RS, BB
2B Jesus Bastidas: 0-for-4, RBI, BB, K

RHP Mitch Spence: 5 IP, 5 H, 3 R, 2 ER, 2 BB, 5 K, HR
5.17 ERA (38.1 IP, 39 H, 27 R, 22 ER, 16 BB, 34 K, 9 HR). Last three starts: 18 IP, 15 H, 6 R, 4 ER, 2 BB, 15 K
LHP Matt Krook: 1 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 3 K
Krook’s first appearance since 4/26 is an impressive one. On the season, he owns a 1.42 ERA in 12.2 IP (4 H, 5 R, 2 ER, 9 BB, 26 K)
RHP Colten Brewer: 1 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 2 K
RHP Deivi Garcia: 1 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 1 K
4.29 ERA (21 IP, 18 H, 11 R, 10 ER, 3 HR, 16 BB, 19 K)
LHP D.J. Snelten: 0.2 IP, 2 H, 3 R, 3 ER, 2 BB, 1 K, 2 HR
RHP Barrett Loseke: 0.1 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 1 K

Somerset (20-12) (Lost to Portland, 3-1)

SS Trey Sweeney: 1-for-4, RBI
.268/.410/.392 in 122 plate appearances (6 doubles, 2 HR, 13 RBI, 18 R, 22 BB, 24 K, 6-for-8 SB)
LF Jasson Dominguez: 0-for-4, 2 K
vs. RHP: 13-for-74 (.176) with 23 walks and 23 strikeouts. All eight of his extra-base hits are off RHP.
vs. LHP: 4-for-16 (.250) with five walks and five strikeouts. 
DH Everson Pereira: 0-for-4, K
1B T.J. Rumfield: 2-for-3, BB, K
.210/.320/.407 in 97 PA. 
3B Tyler Hardman: 1-for-4, K
.230/.324/.471 in 102 PA. Both Rumfield and Hardman are corner infield college bats who can have some use either to the Yankees or in a trade scenario. But both need to hit because the defensive value is limited.
2B Caleb Durbin: 0-for-4
RF Jeisson Rosario: 1-for-3, BB, K
C Anthony Seigler: 0-for-3, BB, K
Seigler has nine walks in eight May games.
CF Brandon Lockridge: 1-for-2, 2B (4), RS, BB, SB (14)
.300/.366/.457 in 82 plate appearances. Lockridge is 14-for-16 in the stolen base department.

RHP Blane Abeyta: (L, 2-1)  6 IP, 7 H, 3 R, 3 ER, 1 BB, 10 K
Abeyta’s first career 10+ strikeout effort.
RHP Alex Mauricio: 2 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 2 K

Hudson Valley (21-12) (Defeated Aberdeen, 8-3)

CF Spencer Jones: 3-for-5, 2 2B (11), 2 RBI, 2 RS, SB (9)
Jones has eight hits in three games after missing three games for reasons unknown. He has 20 extra-base hits in 120 plate appearances. He hasn’t drawn a ton of walks, but when you mash like this, why do you have to? I don’t think it is due to a lack of plate discipline.
SS Alexander Vargas: 1-for-5, HR (6), 2 RBI, RS, 3 K
Vargas is two away from matching his personal best for HR in a season (8 in 100 games last season)
C Antonio Gomez: 1-for-4, RBI, RS, HBP
1B Rafael Flores: 1-for-4, BB
Flores increases his hitting streak to five (8-for-21)
LF Aaron Palensky: 0-for-4, BB, 2 K
Palensky is in a little 2-for-19 slump.
DH Grant Richardson: 0-for-4, 3 K
2B Ben Cowles: 2-for-4, 2B (4), K
Cowles was hitting .188 after games of 4/28. He is 14-for-36 (.389) since and is now hitting .274.
RF Aldenis Sanchez: 1-for-4, 3B (3), RS, K
3B Marcos Cabrera: 3-for-4, RBI, 2 RS
Cabrera’s first 3-hit game since 8/24/19.

RHP Drew Thorpe: (W, 2-1) 6 IP, 5 H, 2 R, 2 ER, 2 BB, 3 K, HR
4.26 ERA (31.2 IP, 31 H, 19 R, 15 ER, 3 HR, 14 BB, 37 K). Strong comeback after a 3.2 IP, 6 R outing last time out.
RHP Carlos Gomez: 1 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 3 K
5.40 ERA (16.2 IP, 15 H, 10 R, 10 ER, 2 HR, 13 BB, 26 K)
RHP Harrison Cohen: 2 IP, 1 H, 1 R, 1 ER, 1 BB, 2 K, HR

Tampa (11-21) (No-hit by Ft. Myers, 3-0. The Tarpons allowed a pair of unearned runs in addition to their offensive ineptitude. A game you just want to forget about)

DH Jared Serna: 0-for-4
A bit of a slump (3-for-22) has dropped his line to .327/.407/.519 in 118 plate appearances. Given that triple slash even after this recent slide, you can safely say that he was never going to be able to maintain his early pace. 
CF Anthony Hall: 0-for-3, 2 K
Hall’s 10-game hitting streak is snapped.
C Agustin Ramirez: 0-for-3
.222/.369/.370 in 103 plate appearances. In his first two years, he had a 27/67 BB/K ratio in 289 plate appearances. In his last two years, the ratio is 42/45 in 300 plate appearances.
LF Daury Arias: 0-for-3, 2 K
Arias broke up the perfect game in the 8th inning by reaching first base on a third strike wild pitch. 
SS Brenny Escanio: 0-for-3, 2 K
RF Nelson Medina: 0-for-3, K
Medina is 22 and this is his first taste of full-season ball. Ideally, you want to get him to start moving up. Yes, I recognize how the canceled 2020 season impacted the progression of many prospects.
While his triple slash is excellent (.291/.386/.488), you do want to see the 30.7% K rate come down somewhat before you move him along.
1B Jesus Rodriguez: 0-for-3, K
The 21-year-old has a solid batting average in his minor league career (.309 in 116 games) and is excellent in the BB/K ratio category (57 walks, 62 strikeouts). Power? He only has seven career home runs but does have 31 doubles.
2B Brett Barrera: 0-for-3, K
3B Ronny Rojas: 0-for-3

RHP Baron Stuart: (L, 0-2)  4 IP, 1 H, 2 R, 1 ER, 5 BB, 3 K
RHP Yorlin Calderon: 1.2 IP, 2 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 3 K
2.40 ERA (15 IP, 13 H, 4 R, 4 ER, 1 HR, 5 BB, 20 K). I don’t know if his permanent role is that of a reliever, but he is doing a solid job this year.
LHP Geoffrey Gilbert: 1.1 IP, 1 H, 1 R, 0 ER, 2 BB, 4 K
2.25 ERA (16 IP, 8 H, 5 R, 4 ER, 11 BB, 23 K). 
RHP Matt Keating: 1 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 3 K
It is hard to imagine Keating being here for long. His ERA drops to 1.23 with a 23/8 K/BB ratio over 14.2 innings. The walks are high, but seven of them were compiled in April (he walked at least one batter in all six April appearances)
