Phelps strikes out 11 in return to Double-A

RHP John Brebbia was named the Low-A South Atlantic League Pitcher of the Week after throwing six scoreless innings of relief.

Double-A Trenton (3-0 win over Portland)
LF Jose Pirela: 3-3, 2 R, 2 HR, 2 RBI, 1 CS, 1 HBP — seven homers in 49 games this year after hitting just eight in 128 games last year … he’s up to .324/.395/.511 with nearly as many walks (17) as strikeouts (24) on the season
2B David Adams, RF Zoilo Almonte & CF Melky Mesa: all 1-4 — Zoilo doubled, stole two bases, and struck out … Mesa whiffed twice
1B Luke Murton, DH Neil Medchill & SS Yadil Mujica: all 0-3 — Murton walked and whiffed … Mujica struck out
C J.R. Murphy: 0-4, 2 K — still hitless with Trenton, though it’s only been four games
3B Rob Segedin: 1-3, 1 R, 1 HR, 1 RBI — the solo homer was his first hit for the Thunder
RHP David Phelps: 6.2 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 0 ER, 1 BB, 11 K, 7/1 GB/FB — 62 of 94 pitches were strikes (66%) … that’s what happens when you stick a big leaguer in Double-A … the most important thing is the pitch count, he’s fully stretched out now and ready to start whenever the team needs him
RHP Danny Farquhar: 2.1 IP, zeroes, 3 K, 1/2 GB/FB — 20 of 31 pitches were strikes (65%) … pretty stellar relief work right there

High-A Tampa (4-1 win over Dunedin in five innings) the game was completed early due to lightning
CF Mason Williams: 0-3
LF Ramon Flores: 3-3, 1 R, 1 2B, 1 HR, 1 RBI — 16 hits in his last 40 at-bats (.400) with four doubles, a homer, six walks, and five strikeouts
RF Adonis Garcia: 0-2, 1 R, 1 BB
DH Slade Heathcott, 2B Anderson Feliz, 3B Hector Rabago & SS Jose Mojica: all 0-2 — Feliz stole a base, drove in a run and came around to score
1B Kyle Roller: 0-0, 2 BB, 1 SB
C Kyle Higashioka: 1-2, 1 R, 1 HR, 2 RBI, 1 K — 17 hits in his limited time this year, including three doubles and five homers
LHP Matt Tracy: 5 IP, 3 H, 1 R, 1 ER, 4 BB, 8 K, 1 WP, 4/1 GB/FB — picked a runner off first … exactly four walks in each of his last three starts, but he’s only been pitching full-time for a little over a year, still has a ways to go

Short Season Staten Island (9-4 win over Williamsport)
SS Claudio Custodio: 1-4, 2 R, 1 2B, 1 RBI, 1 BB, 1 E (throwing) — ten errors in 17 games

DH Peter O’Brien: 1-4, 2 R, 1 BB, 1 K
1B Saxon Butler: 2-2, 1 R, 1 HR, 3 RBI, 3 BB — dude is starting to get the Bonds treatment, he’s been a monster since the season started
CF Ravel Santana: 2-5, 1 2B, 2 RBI, 1 K — hopefully this gets him going, because he’s been just awful so far
3B Fu-Lin Kuo: 0-4, 3 K, 1 HBP, 1 E (fielding)
2B Jose Rosario: 1-5, 2 R, 1 SB
C Isaias Tejeda: 2-4, 1 R, 1 PB — five passed balls in eight games
LF Danny Lopez: 0-3, 1 BB, 1 K
RHO Gabe Encinas: 5 IP, 4 H, 1 R, 1 ER, 3 BB, 1 K, 1 WP, 8/3 GB/FB — feels like there’s been an awful lot of BB > K starts throughout the farm system this year
LHP Dietrich Enns: 1 IP, 2 H, 0 R, 0 ER, 1 BB, 1 K, 1/0 GB/FB
LHP James Pazos: 1.1 IP, 3 H, 3 R, 2 ER, 2 BB, 1 K, 1 WP, 4/0 GB/FB
RHP Charles Basford: 0.2 IP, zeroes, 0/1 GB/FB
RHP Taylor Garrison: 1 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 0 ER, 0 BB, 2 K, 1/0 GB/FB

Rookie GCL Yanks (2-1 win over GCL Pirates in 12 innings)
CF Kelvin Duran: 0-6, 2 K — he hit into the walk-off, two-run error … hooray Rookie ball defense!
2B Jerison Lopez & 1B Bubba Jones: both 0-5 — Jones struck out
3B Kevin Mahoney: 0-2, 1 K — rehabbing, so he played his three innings and got out of there
3B Miguel Andujar: 0-2, 1 BB, 1 E (throwing)
RF Yeicok Calderon: 3-4, 1 BB, 1 K, 2 E (throwing)

C David Remedios: 0-1, 1 R, 1 BB, 1 K, 2 PB, 1 E (throwing) — not sure when DeOleo had to leave the game
SS Fernando Rosario: 0-0, 1 BB — no idea who this is or why he had to leave the game after four innings
RHP Zach Nuding: 2.1 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 0 ER, 1 BB, 3 K, 2 WP, 3/1 GB/FB — working his way back from shoulder fatigue
LHP Yoely Bello: 1 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 0 ER, 2 BB, 0 K, 1/2 GB/FB

RHP Edison Mejia: 2 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 0 ER, 0 BB, 2 K, 1/3 GB/FB
RHP Kenedy Agramonte: 2 IP, 3 H, 1 R, 1 ER, 0 BB, 2 K, 1/2 GB/FB — almost blew it by allowing a solo homer in the top of the 12th, but his offense picked him up in the bottom half

Triple-A Scranton is off until Thursday for the All-Star break. The actual game will be played on Wednesday and the Yankees only representative LHP Juan Cedeno. Kinda dumb.

Low-A Charleston had a scheduled day off.
