Yankees MILB 7/3: Griffin Herring Continues to Cruise

Notes: The Yankees have signed veteran infielder Nicky Lopez to a minor league deal. This comes a couple of days after he opted out of his minor league deal with the Arizona Diamondbacks. The Yankees likely offered him more money. The 30-year-old Lopez played in 18 games for the Angels and Cubs this season, hitting .042/.179/.042 (1-for-24). […]

Notes: RHP Colten Brewer, on his third tour with the Yankees organization, was released. In 22 games for Scranton, he pitched to a 3.94 ERA and 32/15 K/BB over 29.2 innings. A lot happened on the farm today, as the affiliates went 6-0 while scoring 46 runs. Injury Log Scranton (44-35) (Outlasted Lehigh Valley, 9-8) […]

Yankees MILB 6/27: Spencer Jones Homers in First Scranton AB

Notes: OF Everson Pereira, the top choice to come up when J.C. Escarra went on paternity leave, is also on the paternity list. The Yankees decided to go with a 25-man roster instead of calling up someone from the Jorbit Vivas, Jesus Rodriguez, CJ Alexander pool (all three are on the 40-man). Another player on the 40-man, Braden Shewmake, […]

Yankees MILB 6/19: Carlos Lagrange Strikes Out 12

Notes: C Antonio Gomez was placed on the Development List for Somerset. Normally, I don’t care much about that list, but Gomez jumps out because he was, at one time, one of the top catching prospects in the system. Gomez’s bat has stalled. This season, he is hitting .140/.225/.168 (26 wRC+) in 121 plate appearances for […]

Yankees MILB 6/18: Roc Riggio, Spencer Jones Homer

Notes: Utilityman Pablo Reyes was outrighted to Scranton after clearing waivers. As a general reminder, I am not a scout. I don’t work for the Yankees. When I hype up someone like Jesus Rodriguez, I can’t tell you how the Yankees feel about him internally. Guess what? Nobody who writes or talks about these guys has any […]

Yankees MILB 6/6: Carlos Lagrange’s Double-A Debut

Notes: I have nothing to report. Injury Log Scranton (28-30) (Defeated St. Paul, 5-1) C Jesus Rodriguez: 1-for-4, BB, K Reaching base twice in five plate appearances feels like a “meh” night for Rodriguez. He is 8-for-21 (.381) with four doubles in his last six games. 3B Jorbit Vivas: 1-for-3, BB LF Everson Pereira: 1-for-4, K 1B […]

Yankees MILB 5/21: Roc Riggio’s Big Night

Notes: RHP Greysen Carter, the hard thrower with no idea where the ball is going, was sent to the FCL today. Carter, who hit 100+ MPH earlier this season, made seven starts for Tampa, going 1-3 with a 6.75 ERA over 24 innings with a 20.2% K and 21.8% BB. RHP J.T. Etheridge replaces Carter on […]

Yankees MILB 5/20: Roderick Arias Doubles Twice

Notes: Some injury notes: LHP Brock Selvidge has started a rehab assignment in the FCL. He pitched 2.2 innings on Monday, allowing 2 runs (0 earned) on 3 hits with a walk and 2 strikeouts. Last year, he made 16 starts for Somerset, going 7-6 with a 4.25 ERA over 84.2 innings with an 80/43 […]

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 […]
