Yankees MILB 6/3: Spencer Jones Homers

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 […]

Yankees MILB 5/30: Tyler Hardman Homers Twice (Again)

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 […]

Yankees MILB 5/29: Spencer Jones Returns

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 […]

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 4/29: Dylan Jasso: Double, 2 HR

Notes: SS Roderick Arias, hitting .155/.302/.254 (72 wRC+) in 86 plate appearances, was placed on Tampa’s 7-day injured list. 1B/3B Parks Harber, who has a 170 wRC+ this season, was rightfully promoted from Tampa to Hudson Valley. IF Owen Cobb was activated off the injured list and assigned to Tampa. After missing a few games for unknown […]

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 4/22: Brendan Beck is Cruising

Notes: Yoendrys Gomez being designated for assignment surprised me. I thought that Ryan Yarbrough would be the first long reliever on the chopping block, but that wasn’t the case. Can Gomez get through waivers?  I have learned through the years that I am terrible at perceived value. I see a talented kid. Others may see damaged goods. Furthermore, […]

Yankees MILB 4/20: Spencer Jones Homers

Notes: RHP Zach Greene, who was on the Development List, is no longer with the organization. The 28-year-old Greene was drafted by the Yankees in the 8th round in the 2019 draft (South Alabama). In December 2022, the Mets selected Greene in the Rule 5 draft. However, he was returned to the Yankees before the […]

Yankees MILB 4/17: Spencer Jones Homers Twice (Again)

Notes: The catching carousel continues. Today, Somerset activated 20-year-old Diomedes Hernandez from the Development List. He played first base in tonight’s game but is also a catcher. Scranton placed IF Braden Shewmake on the injured list. IF Max Burt was promoted to Scranton to take his place. Shewmake is likely the most random player on the Yankees’ 40-man roster. The […]

Yankees MILB 4/13: Spencer Jones Homers Twice

Notes: I have nothing fun to report. Scranton (9-5) (Swept a doubleheader over Rochester) Game 1 (Walked it off in a 3-2 win) DH Cooper Hummel: 0-for-2, BB, K    PH T.J. Rumfield: 0-for-0, R, BB 2B Jorbit Vivas: 1-for-3, RBI, BB Vivas walked it off in the bottom of the 7th. LF Everson Pereira: 0-for-3, 2 K […]
