Yankees MILB 7/4: Everson Pereira Homers in Triple-A Debut

News:

OF Everson Pereira is now a member of the Scranton Railriders.

Ranked as the #4 prospect in the system by Pipeline, Pereira hit well for Somerset this season. In 185 plate appearances, he hit .292/.362/.545 (143 wRC+) with ten home runs and 31 runs batted in. He plays all three outfield positions, though there is talk he is best suited at a corner. This happens to a lot of prospects as they mature. I am not sure if Pereira has completely outgrown center field, but he likely has enough bat to play a corner anyway.

The one negative in his game is a K% that sits at 29.2% this season. A high batting average and high K% typically mean a high BABIP, and that is the case with Pereira. His BABIP is .373. Also, he has a history of some annoying injuries. Last season, he set a personal best with 102 games played. An injury earlier this season likely keeps him away from breaking that record.

Can he make it to MLB in 2023? Yes. He is already on the 40-man roster, so it will be a relatively simple transaction once they deem him ready. If not, he is certainly a 2024 option if they don’t use him as trade bait.

To make room for Pereira, the Yankees demoted Elijah Dunham to Somerset. Dunham hasn’t been able to get much going this year, so perhaps this will jumpstart him into a solid second half.

Scranton (38-42; 3-2 in the second half) (Lost to Lehigh Valley, 5-4. They loaded the bases in the 9th with Oswald Peraza and Everson Pereira coming up, and couldn’t get the game tied. Baseball!)

CF Estevan Florial: 1-for-3, RS, 2 BB
Last 6 games: 9-for-23 (.391; 1 double, 1 triple, 1 HR, 2 RBI, 9 R, 7 BB, 4 K). Whether you think he is MLB caliber or not, there is no doubt that Florial has done everything he can to earn that shot.
SS Oswald Peraza: 0-for-3, RS, 2 BB, 2 K
.280/.360/.543 in 186 PA.
RF Everson Pereira: 2-for-5, HR (1), 3 RBI, RS, K
This is what you call a successful debut. He homered in his first at-bat (an at-bat where he battled back from 0-2 to make it 3-2). The home run traveled 426 feet at 111.4 MPH. His talent is legitimate.
DH Ben Rortvedt: 1-for-2, RS, BB, HBP
Rortvedt is hitting .304/.439/.519 in 98 PA at this level.
1B Andres Chaparro: 1-for-2, 2 BB
Chaparro has nine walks in his last nine games. 
C Carlos Narvaez: 0-for-4, K
LF Franchy Cordero: 0-for-4, K

  PR Brandon Lockridge: 0-for-0
2B Jesus Bastidas: 1-for-4, K

RHP Jhony Brito: 5 IP, 4 H, 2 R, 2 ER, 4 BB, 5 K
Brito’s statistics down here are meaningless. I am not just saying that because he owns a 6.39 ERA. He is down here to continue to work on things for the inevitable call-up at some point later this season.
RHP Michael Gomez: (L, 0-4) 2 IP, 1 H, 3 R, 3 ER, 2 BB, 1 K
RHP Greg Weissert: 1.1 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 2 K
3.20 ERA (25.1 IP, 19 H, 13 R, 9 ER, 3 HR, 12 BB, 39 K)

Somerset (46-29; 4-3 in the second half) (Lost to Reading, 5-4)

SS Trey Sweeney: 1-for-2, RS, BB, HBP, CS (4)
.246/.365/.430 in 326 PA (15 doubles, 1 triple, 11 HR, 36 RBI, 47 R, 46 BB, 61 K, 10-for-14 SB). He has started July 3-for-10 with three walks and a strikeout.
CF Jasson Dominguez: 1-for-4, 2 SB (22)
Since we tend to dwell on negatives, here are two positives: 22-for-25 SB (88%); 56 BB in 327 PA (17.1%).
C Austin Wells: 1-for-3, SF, 3 RBI, K
Wells has 86 RBI in 102 games at this level. 
3B Tyler Hardman: 0-for-4, 3 K
They gave him a day off after his 3-HR game and he is 0-for-8 since. Don’t let the small sample size ruin my narrative.
1B T.J. Rumfield: 0-for-3, HBP
RF Jeisson Rosario: 0-for-2, 2 BB, CS (5)
LF Aaron Palensky: 0-for-4, 2 K
Palensky is in a 4-for-34 slump. He is hitting .213/.396/.440 since his promotion.
DH Eric Wagaman: 2-for-3, 2 RS, BB, SB (13)
.333/.388/.543 in 116 PA with a surprising 13-for-14 SB rate.
2B Mickey Gasper: 1-for-4, 2B (3), RBI, RS
Gasper’s first career appearance at a position other than P (two games)/C/1B/DH. 

RHP Richard Fitts: 6.2 IP, 5 H, 1 R, 1 ER, 3 BB, 8 K
Two of the three walks were compiled in the 7th inning, where Fitts went over the 100-pitch mark. Season: 3.78 ERA (83.1 IP, 79 H, 36 R, 35 ER, 13 HR, 20 BB, 92 K)
RHP Danny Watson: 0.2 IP, 2 H, 2 R, 2 ER, 2 BB, 0 K, HR
He hadn’t allowed a run since being promoted, so you can say he was due for a tough outing.
LHP Josh Maciejewski: (L, 0-1) 1.2 IP, 3 H, 2 R, 2 ER, 0 BB, 2 K

Hudson Valley (43-33; 4-3 in the second half) (Defeated Jersey Shore, 4-2)

CF Spencer Jones: 1-for-4, 2B (20), RBI, RS, K
If it felt as if he was stuck on 19 doubles forever, you are correct. This is his first double since 6/14.
2B Ben Cowles: 1-for-4, K
C Agustin Ramirez: 1-for-3, 2B (4), RBI, BB
Ramirez is 10-for-20 since his promotion (4 doubles, 1 HR, 3 RBI, 4 R, 2 BB, 1 K).

3.99 ERA (65.1 IP, 47 H, 37 R, 29 ER, 9 HR, 38 BB, 79 K). A strong start to July after he posted a 2.35 ERA in four June starts (23 IP, 14 H, 6 R, 6 ER, 2 HR, 11 BB, 24 K)
RHP Bailey Dees: 2 IP, 0 H, 1 R, 0 ER, 2 BB, 3 K

Aguilar’s first professional save. Congrats!

Tampa (35-39; 2-4 in the second half) (Lost to Dunedin, 4-2)

DH Jared Serna: 1-for-5, K
He isn’t on a “hot streak,” but he does own a 6-game hitting streak (7-for-27; 2 doubles, 1 home run)
SS Brenny Escanio: 0-for-4, 3 K
C Ben Rice: 1-for-3, 2 K
Rice is 1-for-6 with three walks on his rehab stint.
  C Jesus Rodriguez: 1-for-1, RS
Rodriguez is 34-for-95 since June 1st (.358; 7 doubles, 1 triple, 3 HR, 15 RBI, 15 R, 14 BB, 13 K)
CF Anthony Hall: 1-for-2, RS, HBP, BB, K
LF Daury Arias: 1-for-4, 2 K

RHP Leonardo Pestana: 3 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 6 K
4.79 ERA (35.2 IP, 35 H, 20 R, 19 ER, 7 HR, 17 BB, 47 K). Injuries limited him to only three appearances between 2021-2022, so they are taking it easy with him.
RHP Kris Bow: 3.1 IP, 2 H, 2 R, 2 ER, 3 BB, 3 K
RHP Matt Keating (L, 5-6): 1.2 IP, 3 H, 2 R, 2 ER, 0 BB, 4 K, HR

FCL Yankees (12-10) (Lost to the Phillies, 5-4)

2B Keiner Delgado: 0-for-5, K
SS Roderick Arias: 1-for-4, BB, CS (3)
Arias is now a proud owner of a 10-game hitting streak (15-for-39). Overall, he is hitting .263/.411/.461 in 95 PA with four home runs and 16 runs batted in.
DH Hans Montero: 1-for-5, 3 K
3B Enmanuel Tejeda: 2-for-4, RS, BB, K
.324/.520/.515 in 98 PA with three home runs and 15 RBI. He is also 13-for-15 stealing bases. Tejeda is only 18 years old.
CF Willy Montero: 2-for-5, 2B (5), RBI, RS, K
DSL, 2022: .262/.396/.382 in 235 PA
FCL, 2023: .291/.356/.418 in 90 PA.
Yes, the BB rate has gone down – but while the FCL isn’t the perfect league, the DSL is a crazy league. I am never alarmed by walk rates going down when a player gets away from that league.
RF John Cruz: 2-for-4, HR (5), 2 RBI, RS
.227/.337/.480 in 89 PA (5 HR, 26 RBI, 10 R, 12 BB, 21 K)

RHP Osiel Rodriguez: 1 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 2 K
I firmly believe that Rodriguez belongs in Tampa.
RHP Montana Semmell: 1 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 3 K
A needed dominant performance by Semmell, who pitched well in limited action here in 2022.He was drafted in the 36th round out of high school back in 2019. The Yankees nabbed him for $125,000 – an important number because $125,000 is the max you can give a player after the 10th round without it counting against your bonus pool.

Yankees MILB 6/20: Tyrone Yulie: 7 No-Hit Innings

News:

LHP Carlos Rodon started his rehab stint in Somerset tonight.

IF Caleb Durbin, who is off to an impressive start in his first season with the Yankees’ organization, was placed on the injured list today for Somerset. Between Hudson Valley and Somerset, Durbin is hitting .292/.394/.400 in 216 plate appearances with 29 stolen bases in 33 attempts. He has struck out in only 6.9% of his plate appearances, which is second in all of MILB (if I don’t include players in the DSL). Only Cesar Prieto (Double-A, BAL) has a lower rate (6.8%).

Durbin was part of the package (along with RHP Indigo Diaz) that the Yankees acquired from the Braves for LHP Lucas Luetge this past winter. The Braves designated Luetge for assignment back in May and outrighted him down to Triple-A once he cleared waivers.

Scranton (32-37) (Squeaked past Buffalo, 2-1)

CF Estevan Florial: 0-for-4
3B Oswaldo Cabrera: 1-for-3, HBP, CS (1)
1B Andres Chaparro: 2-for-4, 2 HR (13), 2 RBI, 2 RS, K
Chaparro breaks out of his 25-game homerless streak by compiling his third 2-HR game of the season. Maybe this is the start of a new surge (he hit 6 HR in a 5-game stretch back in April). 
RF Elijah Dunham: 1-for-2, BB
Dunham has a nice little 12-game on-base streak going.
C Carlos Narvaez: 1-for-3, K
2B Jamie Westbrook: 1-for-2, Catcher’s Interference
DH Josh Breaux: 0-for-3
SS Wilmer Difo: 1-for-3

Since promotion: 7-for-25 with four doubles and a pair of stolen bases.

RHP Randy Vasquez: (W, 2-7)  5.1 IP, 3 H, 0 R, 3 BB, 5 K
A needed strong effort for Vasquez, who was ineligible to be called up for tomorrow’s start.
RHP Aaron McGarity: 1.2 IP, 2 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 0 K
LHP D.J. Snelten: 1.1 IP, 0 H, 1 R, 1 ER, 2 BB, 2 K

Somerset (39-24) (Lost to New Hampshire, 4-1)

SS Trey Sweeney: 1-for-4, HR (8), RBI, RS, K
Sweeney has homered in three straight games. The power stroke is developing!
CF Jasson Dominguez: 0-for-3, BB, 3 K
You just get this feeling that Dominguez can’t find a consistent groove this year. The walks and the occasional power are nice – but we all would love to start seeing some 3-for-4’s, right?
C Austin Wells: 0-for-4, K
Wells is suddenly in a 0-for-13 slump in his last four games (hardly a big sample size)
1B T.J. Rumfield: 0-for-2, BB, HBP
3B Tyler Hardman: 0-for-3
DH Anthony Seigler: 0-for-3
RF Aaron Palensky: 0-for-2, BB, K

2B Max Burt: 1-for-3, K

LHP Carlos Rodon: (L, 0-1) 3 IP, 1 H, 1 R, 1 ER, 1 BB, 5 K
He can’t even win a Double-A game, and we expect him to be a savior?
RHP Blane Abeyta: 6 IP, 6 H, 3 R, 3 ER, 2 BB, 8 K
Abeyta did a solid job piggybacking Rodon.

1B Spencer Henson: 0-for-4, 3 K
RF Grant Richardson: 0-for-3, BB, 2 K, SB (7)
3B Eduardo Torrealba: 2-for-2, RBI, HBP
Torrealba’s 7th-inning RBI single provided all the offense needed. He is 22-for-75 (.293) at this level.

RHP Tyrone Yulie: (W, 3-4)  7 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 3 BB, 7 K
4.09 ERA (55 IP, 40 H, 33 R, 25 ER, 6 HR, 33 BB, 64 K). Outstanding effort tonight by the 21-year-old.
RHP Carlos Gomez: (S, 2)  2 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 3 K
Gomez allowed a weak hit (questionable) in the 9th.

Tampa (31-33) (Defeated Ft. Myers, 8-6, on a walk-off HR)

2B Jared Serna: 1-for-5, RBI, SB (16)
.309/.372/.527 in 269 PA. He hasn’t been in an extended slump pretty much all season, even when he wasn’t hitting home runs. 
CF Anthony Hall: 1-for-4, BB, K
C Agustin Ramirez: 0-for-3, 2 BB
DH Daury Arias: 1-for-5, RS
SS Brenny Escanio: 2-for-3, 3 RS, 2 BB, K, SB (14)
Escanio has a 6-game hitting streak (10-for-26)
LF Christopher Familia: 2-for-5, 2 HR (10), 5 RBI, 2 RS
Walk-off home run! Familia has 10 HR and 28 RBI in 17 games.
3B Jesus Rodriguez: 0-for-2, SF, RBI, BB
1B Omar Martinez: 1-for-4, RS, 2 K
RF Tayler Aguilar: 2-for-3, HR (5), RBI, RS, BB, K, SB (6)
Aguilar has homered in back-to-back games.

RHP Hayden Merda: 5.2 IP, 7 H, 4 R, 3 ER, 0 BB, 7 K, HR
5.47 ERA (54.1 IP, 51 H, 37 R, 33 ER, 4 HR, 27 BB, 55 K). I like when young pitchers bounce back from bad outings (Merda had a 4.2 IP/9 ER outing last time out). 
RHP Yorlin Calderon: 2 IP, 2 H, 2 R, 2 ER, 1 BB, 4 K
RHP Ocean Gabonia: (W, 3-0)  1.1 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 2 K

SS Roderick Arias: 2-for-4, RBI, RS, K, SB (5)

2B Enmanuel Tejeda: 1-for-3, HR (3), 3 RBI, RS, BB
.343/.571/.629 in 56 PA (1 double, 3 HR, 11 RBI, 15 R, 18 BB, 9 K, 10-for-10 SB)

.262/.367/.548 in 49 PA (1 double, 1 triple, 3 HR, 20 RBI, 7 R, 7 BB, 8 K, 3-for-3 SB)
1B Enger Castellano: 1-for-4, HR (1), 2 RBI, RS

RHP Carlos Lagrange: 4 IP, 2 H, 3 R, 2 ER, 2 BB, 4 K, HR
Lagrange is a big kid who the Yankees signed for $10,000. They like their big, raw pitching prospects…
RHP Sebastian Keane: 1.1 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 2 K
Keane has a 14/3 K/BB in 7.1 innings. He is a 22-year-old college arm so they shouldn’t keep him here for too long.

DSL Bombers (8-4) (Defeated Arizona Black, 7-4)

The 17-year-old is 10-for-31 (.323; 3 doubles, 1 triple, 1 HR, 6 RBI, 10 R, 9 BB, 6 K, 5-for-8 SB)

RHP Michael Peres: 4 IP, 3 H, 2 R, 2 ER, 3 BB, 3 K

Mayea is 5-for-11.

Yankees MILB 6/14: Trey Sweeney: 3 Hits, HR

News:

Nothing to report.

Scranton (29-34)

Their game against Rochester was postponed. They will play a pair tomorrow.

A few stat lines to hold you over:

Estevan Florial: .307/.406/.625 (150 wRC+); 14.8% BB, 30.6% K (It temporarily slipped below 30% for a day. Florial has a shot at a 30/30 minor league campaign – but I bet he would much rather be playing in MLB games)
Oswald Peraza: .306/.377/.581 (135 wRC+); 5.8% BB, 15.2% K (One has to love the ability to make contact)
Andres Chaparro: .245/.318/.441 (83 wRC+); 9.7% BB, 21.3% K (Yes, his numbers have taken a fall as the power has disappeared, for now)
Jesus Bastidas: .260/.325/.431 (85 wRC+); 7.4% BB, 26.1% K
Rodolfo Duran: .270/.333/.504 (104 wRC+); 7.3% BB, 20% K (With Ben Rortvedt out, he is in the mix for the #3 catcher job)
Carlos Narvaez: .279/.457/.410 (135 wRC+); 22.2% BB, 22.2% K (20 games. Narvaez is also in the mix for #3 catcher)
Elijah Dunham: .222/.337/.329 (74 wRC+); 12.8% BB, 27.2% K (Tough season thus far for Dunham, who simply hasn’t been able to get into a groove)

Deivi Garcia: 5.23 ERA/6.12 FIP over 31 innings with a 21.6% K and 16.2% BB.

Somerset (36-22) (Squeaked past Altoona, 5-4)

SS Trey Sweeney: 3-for-4, 2B (13), HR (5), 2 RBI, RS, BB
Sweeney’s hitting streak is up to 11 (17-for-50 (.340)). This is his third 3-hit game this season and he has his triple slash up to .250/.371/.385. Before the streak, his triple slash was .222/.362/.329.
CF Harrison Bader: 0-for-4, 2 K
  RF Aaron Palensky: 0-for-1, K
LF Jasson Dominguez: 1-for-5, 2 K
C Austin Wells: 3-for-4, HR (9), RBI, 2 RS, K
Enough is enough – he has no business being here. That said, despite the fact that they are treating Oswald Peraza as if he is a Quadruple-A veteran who should languish in Triple-A, top prospects don’t typically need a lot of time in Triple-A. If the plan is to get him to Triple-A for a week or so before promoting him to MLB, fine. I don’t think that will happen, but it would at least explain this insanity.
1B T.J. Rumfield: 2-for-4, HR (12), 2 RBI, RS, K
Rumfield has homered in five straight games (6 HR in last 7 games). He is now hitting .242/.332/.503 in 184 PA (5 doubles, 12 HR, 34 RBI, 28 R, 21 BB, 26 K). You have to like that his power is surging while he is maintaining a low K% (14.1)
3B Tyler Hardman: 0-for-2, 2 BB, 2 K, SB (7)
DH Anthony Seigler: 1-for-3, RS, BB, K, CS (4)
RF-CF Jeisson Rosario: 0-for-3, BB, 2 K
2B Max Burt: 1-for-4

RHP Blane Abeyta: (W, 5-3)   6.2 IP, 7 H, 2 R, 2 ER, 1 BB, 3 K
6.04 ERA (56.2 IP, 58 H, 39 R, 38 ER, 8 HR, 27 BB, 57 K). He left the game with two runners on base – and both scored.
RHP Blas Castano: 1.1 IP, 3 H, 2 R, 1 ER, 1 BB, 1 K
RHP Danny Watson (S, 2): 1 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 0 K
Watson hasn’t allowed a run in six innings since his promotion (2 H, 2 BB, 3 K). He stands 6’7″ and has produced a lot of strikeouts on his journey through the minors – Double-A is an adjustment. For now, we will take the zeroes.

Hudson Valley (34-25) (Defeated Rome, 4-2)

CF Spencer Jones: 2-for-3, 2B (19), RS, BB, SB (15)
Jones with his second consecutive multi-hit game as he tries to break out of his extended slump.
2B Ben Cowles: 0-for-3, BB
C Rafael Flores: 1-for-4, RS, K
RF Anthony Garcia: 0-for-4, 2 K
DH Antonio Gomez: 1-for-3, RBI, HBP
Gomez is now 12-for-29 in June. 
SS Alexander Vargas: 1-for-4, 2B (8), RBI, RS, K
1B Spencer Henson: 1-for-3, HR (9), 2 RBI, RS, HBP, 2 K
Henson is hitting .283 with 10 doubles, 9 HR, and 29 RBI.  His personal best for HR is 10, which he did in 71 games last year (tonight was his 43rd game this year)
LF Aldenis Sanchez: 0-for-3, BB
3B Marcos Cabrera: 0-for-2

RHP Tyrone Yulie: (W, 2-4)  5 IP, 6 H, 1 R, 1 ER, 1 BB, 7 K
4.69 ERA (48 IP, 40 H, 33 R, 25 ER, 30 BB, 57 K)
LHP Ryan Anderson: 1 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 2 K
RHP Jack Neely: 2 IP, 1 H, 1 R, 1 ER, 1 BB, 2 K, HR
1.80 ERA (25 IP, 13 H, 7 R, 5 ER, 2 HR, 13 BB, 36 K)
RHP Bailey Dees (S, 3): 1 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 1 K
2.59 ERA (24.1 IP, 14 H, 7 R, 7 ER, 2 HR, 10 BB, 35 K)

Tampa (26-32) (Defeated Clearwater, 11-6. The Thrashers are really good (41-17) so this is a quality win)

SS Jared Serna: 2-for-5, HR (12), RBI, 2 RS, BB, SB (14)
Serna now owns a 7-game hitting streak. He is hitting .320/.383/.543 in 243 PA (11 doubles, 1 triple, 12 HR, 37 RBI, 40 R, 21 BB, 40 K, 14-for-18 SB). After games of 6/7, his SLG dropped below .500 (.495). Since that game, he is 11-for-29 with two doubles and four home runs. He has a realistic chance at a 25/25 type of season.
CF Daury Arias: 0-for-5, RS, BB, 3 K
C Agustin Ramirez: 2-for-3, HR (6), 2 RBI, 3 RS, 2 BB, K, CS (3)
.258/.402/.411 in 194 PA (5 doubles, 6 HR, 27 RBI, 32 R, 38 BB, 33 K, 6-for-9 SB). When you can maintain a BB/K over 1.00, you are doing something notable in the modern game. Ramirez is a catching prospect you need to pay attention to. 
DH Anthony Hall: 2-for-5, 2 RBI, 2 RS, 3 K
.277/.391/.418 in 169 PA. If not for his injury in his first AB last season, he likely is already up in Hudson Valley.
2B Brenny Escanio: 2-for-5, 2B (5), 2 RBI, RS, 2 K, SB (13)
Escanio has struggled this season but does have four multi-hit games in his last eight games played.
3B Jesus Rodriguez: 1-for-3, 2B (7), RBI, RS, 2 BB, K
.294/.370/.405 in 174 PA (7 doubles, 2 triples, 2 HR, 18 RBI, 27 R, 18 BB, 26 K (14.9%)). Rodriguez is 19-for-44 (.432) in June.
LF Christopher Familia: 1-for-3, 2B (5), 3 RBI, BB
Familia has 18 RBI in 12 games. That is a testament to how well the offense is flowing right now, but also a testament to how well he is hitting (.396/.482/.875; 9-game hitting streak). Correct – that .875 is his SLG, not his OPS.
1B Omar Martinez: 0-for-4, BB, 2 K
.237/.369/.396 in 168 PA (5 doubles, 1 triple, 5 HR, 20 RBI, 18 R, 27 BB, 51 K, 3-for-4 SB). Just like Ramirez and Rodriguez, Martinez is a catcher by trade. 
RF Tayler Aguilar: 0-for-3, RS, BB, 2 K, SB (4)

RHP Leonardo Pestana: 2 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 2 BB, 4 K
4.78 ERA (26.1 IP, 27 H, 14 R, 14 ER, 4 HR, 14 BB, 36 K). Health has been an issue for him – hopefully he can get through the rest of 2023 unscathed.
RHP Kris Bow (W, 2-1): 4 IP, 4 H, 2 R, 2 ER, 2 BB, 3 K
It takes a while for your numbers to recover when you allow 10 ER in your first 2.2 innings. In his last 11 innings, he has allowed 4 runs and has an 11/6 K/BB ratio.
LHP Geoffrey Gilbert: 1 IP, 3 H, 3 R, 3 ER, 1 BB, 0 K, HR
RHP Cole Ayers: 2 IP, 3 H, 1 R, 1 ER, 0 BB, 0 K

Yankees MILB 5/10: Luis Severino Returns

News:

Nothing new to report.

Scranton (16-19) (Snuck past Omaha, 4-3 on a walk-off home run)

CF Estevan Florial: 0-for-3, RBI, BB, 2 K
.271/.406/.471 in 106 PA (4 doubles, 2 triples, 3 HR, 10 RBI, 14 R, 20 BB (18.9%), 36 K (33.96%), 8-for-10 SB)
LF Elijah Dunham: 0-for-3, BB, K
.236/.362/.368 in 127 PA (8 doubles, 2 HR, 6 RBI, 20 R, 18 BB, 28 K, 5-for-8 SB)
3B Andres Chaparro: 1-for-3, 2B (6), RBI, BB
.282/.355/.589 in 138 plate appearances. He is on a 7-game hitting streak (13-for-25; 4 doubles, 1 triple, 2 HR, 13 RBI, 9 R, 5 BB, 1 K)
RF Franchy Cordero: 0-for-2, 2 BB, K
1B Billy McKinney: 0-for-4, K
2B Jesus Bastidas: 1-for-4, RS, SB (4)
DH Michael Hermosillo: 1-for-2, HR (5), RBI, 2 RS, BB, SB (4)
Walk-off home run. The veteran outfielder is hitting only .171/.289/.386, which is a little surprising as he has always hit in the minors. MLB is a different story.
C Carlos Narvaez: 0-for-1, RS, 2 BB
This is his Triple-A debut. The 24-year-old hit .235/.350/.451 in 16 games for Somerset this season. 
SS Wilmer Difo: 1-for-3, RBI, 2 K

LHP Luis Severino: 3.1 IP, 2 H, 1 R, 1 ER, 1 BB, 3 K, HR
Severino topped out at 98 MPH (on his last pitch). He threw 49 pitches today. Could the Yankees use him for 65 pitches? Yes. Will they? I think they give him one more Scranton start.
RHP James Norwood: 1.1 IP, 1 H, 1 R, 0 ER, 1 BB, 3 K
RHP Barrett Loseke: 2.1 IP, 2 H, 0 R, 3 BB, 1 K
1.84 ERA (14.2 IP, 8 H, 3 R, 3 ER, 1 HR, 10 BB, 15 K). Control has always been his bugaboo.
RHP Aaron McGarity (W, 3-0):  2 IP, 0 H, 1 R, 1 ER, 2 BB, 1 K

Somerset (18-10) (Lost to Portland, 6-5, in ten innings)

SS Trey Sweeney: 1-for-4, BB, K, SB (6)
Sweeney is 8-for-24 (.333) in May with nine walks.
CF Jasson Dominguez: 2-for-4, RBI, BB, SB (11)
Dominguez has reached .200 for the first time this season and has his OPS up to .806. He is on a 6-game hitting streak (9-for-24). Dominguez has driven home at least one run in four straight games.
DH Austin Wells: 0-for-3, RS, 2 BB, K
Wells is 7-for-27 (.259/.333/.778) at this level (2 doubles, 4 HR, 9 RBI, 7 R, 3 BB, 7 K)
LF Everson Pereira: 1-for-4, BB, K, 2 SB (5)
RF Jeisson Rosario: 0-for-5, 3 K
3B Tyler Hardman: 1-for-4, HR (5), SF, 2 RBI, RS, 2 K
.213/.307/.480 in 88 PA. He is on a 5-game hitting streak (6-for-17; 2 doubles, 1 triple, 2 home runs)
1B T.J. Rumfield: 0-for-3, RS, 2 BB, SB (2)
C Anthony Seigler: 0-for-4, 2 K
2B Max Burt: 3-for-4, HR (5), 2 RBI, 2 RS, BB, SB (7)
Burt is hitting .338/.408/.677 in 76 plate appearances.

RHP Richard Fitts: 2 IP, 5 H, 4 R, 4 ER, 2 BB, 1 K, 2 HR
Tough outing for Fitts, who watches his ERA spike to 6.07 (29.2 IP, 32 H, 20 R, 20 ER, 6 HR, 8 BB, 34 K)
RHP Justin Maese: 1.2 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 3 BB, 1 K

Hudson Valley (18-11) (Lost to Aberdeen, 3-2)

SS Alexander Vargas: 2-for-4, K
Good to see Vargas bounce back after going 0-for-4 with four strikeouts yesterday.
LF Aaron Palensky: 0-for-4, 2 K
DH Antonio Gomez: 0-for-4, 3 K
Gomez is only 2-for-21 in May.
1B Spencer Henson: 0-for-4, K
C Rafael Flores: 1-for-4, 2B (6), RS, 2 K
CF Grant Richardson: 0-for-4, 3 K

RF Aldenis Sanchez: 1-for-3, 2B (4), RBI, 2 K

RHP Harold Cortijo: 2 IP, 3 H, 2 R, 2 ER, 1 BB, 3 K
RHP Danny Watson: 1 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 2 K
2.45 ERA (14.2 IP, 9 H, 5 R, 4 ER, 1 HR, 8 BB, 28 K). He continues his big strikeout ways.

Tampa (11-18) (Lost to Ft. Myers, 8-3)

SS Brenny Escanio: 0-for-3, RS, BB, K, 2 SB (10)
RF Daury Arias: 1-for-3, 2B (5), BB
C Agustin Ramirez: 0-for-3, BB, 2 K
2B Jared Serna: 0-for-4
A rare boring night for Serna. That said, his K% drops to 8%.
LF Anthony Hall: 1-for-2, RS, 2 BB
8-game hitting streak (11-for-30; 2 doubles, 1 RBI, 8 R, 3 BB, 4 K)
