Yankees MILB 5/22: Griffin Herring Dazzles (6 IP, 0 H, 10 K)
Notes: Cooper Hummel has exercised an opt-out clause in his contract and will become a free agent if the Yankees don’t add him to their 26-man roster. I find that unlikely, as his MLB career (.159/.255/.275 in 82 games) hardly inspires confidence. Furthermore, he is primarily an outfielder, which the Yankees don’t need. I wouldn’t cry […]

Notes: No news. I have started a minor league injury log (below) Injury Log The Baseball Reference links stopped functioning at some point tonight, so some players don’t have their links (for now). You’ll live. Scranton (11-8) (No-hit by Durham, 4-0) 3B Jorbit Vivas: 0-for-4 His 6-game hitting streak is snapped. His K% is down to […]

Notes: Yesterday, the Yankees re-signed Dominic Smith to a minor league deal. The 29-year-old first baseman went 11-for-37 with three homers and 12 RBI in spring training. He should get some 1B/DH at-bats for Scranton. Scranton (2-2) (Defeated Syracuse, 6-2) CF Ismael Munguia: 3-for-4, RBI, RS, BB Munguia’s hot start continues (8-for-17, 2 doubles, 2 RBI, 3 […]

News: I have nothing to offer. Scranton (86-60) (Defeated Buffalo, 4-1. I have been mistaken lately. Like most sane people, I thought divisions mattered in the International League, but they don’t. It’s first-half champion vs. second-half champion in the entire league, even though you don’t get to play everyone. Weird. Divisions don’t matter. Scranton is […]

News: Nothing Scranton (82-59) (Defeated Lehigh Valley, 6-5, in 11 innings. Worcester finally lost, so the Railriders are within one game. The season ends next Sunday) 2B Jorbit Vivas: 2-for-5 3B Caleb Durbin: 0-for-4, HBP, BB (intentional) Durbin is in a little slump (5-for-27 in September) but has only three strikeouts. 1B Ben Rice: 0-for-3, RBI, 3 BB […]

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 […]

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 […]

News: The Yankees have dipped in “organizational” prospect rankings. Do I worry about that? No. I thought they wouldn’t be very high on the preseason rankings. I consider the latest lists to be a market correction. Scranton (60-47) (Lead Lehigh Valley, 3-0, in the third inning. This game was suspended. Game 2 was postponed. These […]
