Almonte picks up three hits in Triple-A loss

Yankees (barely) hold on for 6-5 win over Angels

Update: The Yankees have promoted RHP Rafael DePaula to High-A Tampa, reports Ben Badler. This has been inevitable for a few weeks now, he simply dominated Low-A ball.

Turns out that RHP Jose Ramirez’s promotion to Triple-A Scranton is permanent, VP of Baseball Ops Mark Newman confirmed to Josh Norris. It was originally expected to be a one-time spot start with LHP Vidal Nuno on the DL and RHP Chris Bootcheck in the big leagues. Ramirez had a 2.76 ERA (4.26 FIP) in 42.1 innings for Double-A Trenton this year, his first time at the level. So yeah, aggressive promotion.

Just as a reminder, the Short Season Staten Island season starts tomorrow. The two GCL Yankees teams start on Friday, and yes, they will play each other.

Triple-A Scranton (5-4 loss to Lehigh Valley in 11 innings, walk-off style)

  • LF Zoilo Almonte: 3-6, 1 R, 1 2B, 1 RBI — 13 hits in his last 30 at-bats (.433)
  • SS Albert Gonzalez: 3-5, 1 2B, 1 RBI — I know about the left/right stuff, but he has to be better than Reid Brignac, no?
  • RHP Ivan Nova: 6.2 IP, 5 H, 3 R, 1 ER, 0 BB, 4 K, 9/5 GB/FB — 65 of 103 pitches were strikes (63%)
  • RHP Dellin Betances: 0.1 IP, 0 H, 1 R, 1 ER, 2 BB, 0 K, 1 HB, 0/1 GB/FB — only seven of 17 pitches were strikes (41%) … first real bad outing as a reliever

Double-A Trenton (2-1 loss to Altoona)

  • CF Ramon Flores, DH Slade Heathcott & RF Tyler Austin: all 1-4 — Flores and Austin each struck out once, Heathcott twice … Austin stole a base
  • RHP Mikey O’Brien: 6 IP, 4 H, 2 R, 1 ER, 3 BB, 2 K, 8/3 GB/FB — 53 of 89 pitches were strikes (60%)

High-A Tampa is off until tomorrow for the All-Star break.

Low-A Charleston (2-1 loss to Augusta)

  • CF Jake Cave: 0-3, 1 BB, 1 K
  • SS Cito Culver: 1-4, 1 R
  • 1B Greg Bird: 2-4, 1 K — seven hits in his last 11 at-bats (.636)
  • C Peter O’Brien: 1-4, 1 K, 1 PB
  • 3B Dante Bichette Jr.: 0-4, 1 RBI, 2 K
  • LHP Dietrich Enns: 4 IP, 2 H, 1 R, 0 ER, 1 BB, 6 K, 1/1 GB/FB — 40 of 61 pitches were strikes (66%) … 69/14 K/BB in 44.1 innings
