Yankees MILB 7/13: Carlos Lagrange: 5 Hitless Innings
Notes: RHP Luis Gil made his first rehab appearance today for Somerset. The draft is tonight. The Yankees, along with the Dodgers and Mets, were penalized for having the audacity to improve their roster and had their draft position dropped ten slots. They will pick 39th. Recent history suggests that the Yankees will likely select someone […]

Notes: From an article on The Athletic, the Yankees are transitioning former top catching prospect Antonio Gomez to pitching. Gomez, who is already Rule 5 eligible, supposedly is touching 100 MPH during workouts. In my opinion, which was wrong (though I don’t mind admitting it), Gomez was the most intriguing catching prospect they had a few years […]

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 […]

Notes: The Yankees traded veteran catcher Alex Jackson to the Orioles for international bonus pool money. Yesterday, the Yankees released Ronaldo Hernandez. Their catching depth has taken a (minor) hit, but they are comfortable with Ben Rice. Their Scranton depth now consists of Jesus Rodriguez and Edinson Duran, a 22-year-old who has appeared in three games this season. Rafael Flores and Omar Martinez provide […]

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 […]

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) […]
