Yankees MILB 8/22: Jasson Dominguez: 2 More Hard Hits

News: Most of the time, roster crunches work themselves out. In 2024, that might not be the case for the Yankees. The first move was easy, as Oswald Peraza was demoted to make room for Jazz Chisholm Jr. However, it won’t get easier from here. Utilityman Jon Berti is about to begin a rehab stint, as is 1B Anthony […]

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 7/6: Agustin Ramirez Homers Again

News: There’s some time off coming up for the system. First, they are off on Sunday and Monday. Then, after a full week of games Tuesday-Sunday, they take four days off for the MLB All-Star Break (they don’t play minor league All-Star games anymore, other than the Futures Game). This only applies to full-season leagues. […]

News: None. Scranton (45-33) (Defeated Worcester, 7-5) CF Brandon Lockridge: 0-for-4, 2 K 3B Jorbit Vivas: 1-for-3, RS, 2 SB (6), BB Vivas is hitting .255/.403/.388 in 126 PA for Scranton and is on a 6-game hitting streak.

Yankees MILB 6/23: Carlos Narvaez Goes 5-for-5

News: The Yankees acquired 1B/3B J.D. Davis (and cash) from the Oakland Athletics for IF Jordan Groshans. The money will likely cover most (if not all) of what remains on Davis’ 1-year deal. It isn’t much. Davis is hitting .236/.304/.366 (98 wRC+) in 135 PA. He has four home runs and five runs batted in. Interesting. The defensive metrics […]

Yankees MILB 6/19: George Lombard Jr. Hits First Pro HR

News: There was a flurry of moves today, some of which were prompted by the promotion of Ben Rice to the Yankees from Scranton. The Yankees promoted C/1B Agustin Ramirez from Somerset to replace Rice. Ramirez’s ascent has been fun and fast. While he performed well as a 17-year-old in the DSL (18.9% K rate was telling), […]

Yankees MILB 5/29: Jared Serna’s Big Night

News: IF Kevin Smith cleared waivers. Unlike the last time, he could have declined an outright assignment but didn’t do so. He will return to Scranton.

Yankees MILB 5/5: Dylan Jasso Continues to Rake

News: I don’t tour the minor league rosters often, but sometimes I will see something that sticks out to me. This evening, I noticed that RHP Brendan Beck is now on the full-season injured list for Somerset. Since being drafted in 2021, Beck has logged 34 innings, all in 2023. I ranked him #24 on my preseason […]
