Top 30 Prospects Injury Log Notes: RHP Elmer Rodriguez pitched well enough in his debut. He had some control issues, which isn’t as unexpected as they tried to make it seem. Rodriguez owned a 9.0% walk rate in Triple-A this season, which is average-ish. It should have surprised nobody that he walked some hitters in his […]

Notes: Trade analysis links: Jose Caballero/Camilo Doval (link) David Bednar/Jake Bird (link) Ryan McMahon (link) Amed Rosario (link) Austin Slater (link) My thoughts on Core Jackson. OF Austin Slater started his rehab stint tonight with Scranton. The good news? The Yankees don’t have to worry about making a corresponding roster move once he is ready, as the rosters expand on Monday. […]

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 […]

News RHP JT Brubaker has an oblique injury, which will temporarily shut down his rehab stint. As for where the system is at the midway point, it is a mixed bag that leans slightly towards disappointment. Some of that is due to injuries. Some of it is because we don’t have Drew Thorpe throwing 7 shutout innings […]

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 […]

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), […]

News: OF Jasson Dominguez is back on the injured list. According to Aaron Boone, he felt something in his side while swinging. That instantly makes one think of oblique, but we’ll wait until testing is complete. Dominguez, who was pulled early last night, has consistently hit the ball hard since returning from his injury. This was […]

News: I have nothing to report. Scranton (40-28) (Lost to Rochester, 7-3) 3B Jorbit Vivas: 0-for-2, SB (2), HBP, BB, K 2B Oswald Peraza: 0-for-4, K CF Jasson Dominguez: 1-for-3, RS, SB (2), 2 K I am not sure why Dominguez was pulled. He has been playing full games recently, which can raise a red flag. Still, I […]
