Minor League Reports, Yankees
Notes: I have concluded that we aren’t receiving accurate roster updates from Hudson Valley. Today, they announced that OF Jace Avina was activated off the injured list. The problem? From what I can find, it was never announced that he was ever on the list. Keep that in mind while you wonder what the heck happened […]

Minor League Reports, Yankees
Notes: I wish I had something to offer you. Injury Log Scranton (37-34) (Defeated Louisville, 4-3, in ten innings) C Jesus Rodriguez: 1-for-4, BB .340/.423/.432 in 241 PA. Rodriguez has been in an extra-base hit drought lately (3, all doubles, in his last 13 games). 2B Jorbit Vivas: 1-for-4, CI, K CF Everson Pereira: 1-for-5, 3 K Pereira’s […]

Minor League Reports, Yankees
Notes: Utilityman Pablo Reyes rejected his outright assignment and is a free agent. The Yankees have enough veteran utility types, so no big deal. Reyes didn’t have enough service time (2.096 years – you must have three) to reject the assignment, but another part of the rule states that you can reject it if you have […]

Minor League Reports, Yankees
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 […]

Minor League Reports, Yankees
Notes: Nothing to report for the second day in a row. Sheesh. Injury Log Scranton (34-31) (Defeated Syracuse, 5-1. The Railriders are playing great baseball lately, but they are 9.5 games behind first-place Lehigh Valley.) 2B Jorbit Vivas: 0-for-2, RBI, R, 2 BB Sometimes, it is hard to report on kids after they make their big […]

Minor League Reports, Yankees
Notes: The Yankees released OF Christopher Familia. I talk about “cult followings” because it is fun to watch an unheralded prospect get some love. In 2023, that player was Familia. He hit 22 home runs in 68 games between Tampa and Hudson Valley, putting up a strong .307/.378/.617 line. Injuries and ineffectiveness have plagued him since […]

Minor League Reports, Yankees
Notes: C Alex Jackson opted out of his minor league deal. However, he has re-signed and was back in the Scranton lineup tonight. This is the second time Jackson has opted out (he did it in March as well). He has some leverage on the Yankees, as he is the organization’s #3 catcher. He is using […]

College Basketball, Yankees
Notes: There’s nothing I can offer you. Injury Log Scranton (24-28) (Defeated Worcester, 3-1) C Jesus Rodriguez: 0-for-4, 2 K Rodriguez is 4-for-22 in his last five games (one of those games was a 3-hit effort). LF Dominic Smith: 2-for-3, R, BB RF Everson Pereira: 2-for-4, R, 2 K .274/.377/.521 in 138 PA (2 doubles, 9 HR, 23 […]

Minor League Reports, Yankees
Notes: OF Spencer Jones, out since May 3rd due to an “intercostal injury,” returned to the Somerset lineup tonight. He joined Jazz Chisholm Jr., who is in Somerset on a rehab stint. Unfortunately, when someone comes off the injured list, someone has to go. The Yankees have released OF Grant Richardson. Drafted in the 17th round in […]

Minor League Reports, Yankees
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 […]
