Yankees MILB 8/27: Spencer Jones’ Big Night

News: The Yankees claimed OF Duke Ellis off waivers from the Mariners as they continue to stockpile speed options for the postseason. Note that just because they are adding these players doesn’t mean they will use them in the playoffs. It is good to have flexibility for the last roster spot. The Yankees are Ellis’ fourth organization […]

Yankees MILB 8/20: Jasson Dominguez: 4 Hits

News: Nothing Scranton (69-50) (Defeated St. Paul, 9-4. A rare trip outside the Eastern timezone this week for Scranton.

Durbin will be in the mix for a 2025 job, and his ability to make contact (his swinging strike percentage is elite), steal bases, and play anywhere helps his […]

Yankees MILB 8/15: Jasson Dominguez’s 3-Hit Night

News: Last night, I said that you typically wait for a player to play a full game in the field before you put them on a “reinstate from rehab” watch. I was wrong about C Jose Trevino, who is back with the Yankees after catching for seven innings last night. I don’t think that matters. What […]

The injury sucked but one has to be […]

Yankees MILB 8/6: Spencer Jones Continues Surge

News: Today was a mass promotion day. With that, more cuts were required. That is the harsh reality of minor-league baseball. The biggest name on the promotion list is George Lombard Jr., who is off to Hudson Valley. Last year’s first-round pick didn’t have overwhelming numbers (.232/.344/.348 (105 wRC+); 12.8% BB, 24% K, 30-for-34 SB) but […]

Yankees MILB 8/1: Zach Messinger Goes 7 Strong

News: LHP Chasen Shreve was released from his contract for Scranton. Today is August 1st, so the odds are good that he had an opt-out. He pitched in ten games for Scranton, posting a 2.45 ERA in 11 innings. As I pointed out yesterday, RHP Nick Burdi has options. Today, his rehab stint ended and he was […]

Yankees MILB 7/31: Jesus Rodriguez: HR, 4 RBI

News: Brian Cashman said Jack Flaherty‘s medical records didn’t scare the Yankees. Without any evidence to support my theory, I think the Tigers and Yankees had a deal in place (whether the Cardinals were involved, who knows?). The Yankees saw the medicals and tried to amend the terms. The Tigers didn’t like the “secondary” prospects the […]
