As I mentioned earlier today, C Gary Sanchez was finally promoted to Double-A Trenton. There were plenty of other roster moves made though, so let’s round them up. It all comes courtesy of Donnie Collins, Josh Norris, and Nicholas Flammia:

  • Triple-A Scranton: LHP Cesar Cabral was promoted up to the club and LHP Josh Spence was released.
  • Double-A Trenton: LHP Matt Tracy was placed on the DL for an unknown reason. He made one start this week after missing more than a month with a hip problem C Jeff Farnham was sent down to High-A Tampa to clear a spot for Sanchez.
  • High-A Tampa: SwP Pat Venditte joined the team after rehabbing his surgically repaired right shoulder with the GCL Yanks squads. RHP Diego Moreno was bumped up to the Thunder.

Triple-A Scranton (5-1 loss to Lehigh Valley)

  • 2B David Adams: 1-4, 1 K
  • 1B Dan Johnson: 3-3, 1 r, 1 HR, 1 RBI, 1 BB — 18th homer of the year ties Peter O’Brien for the farm system lead
  • LF Ronnie Mustelier: 1-4, 1 2B
  • RHP Sam Demel: 1.2 IP, zeroes, 4 K, 1/0 GB/FB — 13 of 17 pitches were strikes (76%)
  • LHP Cesar Cabral: 1.1 IP, zeroes, 3 K, 0/1 GB/FB — ten of 15 pitches were strikes … pretty great Triple-A debut

Double-A Trenton (7-5 win over Reading)

  • LF Ramon Flores: 1-5, 1 R, 1 BB
  • 3B Alex Rodriguez: 0-0, 4 BB — last game of his career?
  • CF Slade Heathcott: 1-4, 1 2B, 2 K
  • LHP Francisco Rondon: 3.1 IP, 2 H, 1 R, 1 ER, 2 BB, 4 K, 1/5 GB/FB — 29 of 51 pitches were strikes (57%), but one of the walks was intentional

High-A Tampa (5-0 loss to Fort Myers)

  • CF Mason Williams: 1-4, 1 2B, 2 K — 55/36 K/BB in 91 games this year after 47/24 in 91 last year
  • 2B Rob Refsnyder: 0-2, 2 BB
  • 3B Peter O’Brien: 0-4, 2 K — staying at third even though Sanchez is no longer around, apparently
  • RHP Bryan Mitchell: 6 IP, 9 H, 4 R, 4 ER, 1 BB, 7 K, 1 WP, 1 HB, 8/2 GB/FB — 26/5 K/BB in his lat 27 innings
  • SwP Pat Venditte: 1 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 ER, 1 BB, 1 K, 0/1 GB/FB

Low-A Charleston Game One (3-2 loss to Augusta in 12 innings, walk-off style)

  • CF Jake Cave: 1-5, 2 K — ejected for arguing balls and strikes in the tenth inning
  • SS Cito Culver: 2-6, 1 K, 1 SB
  • DH Greg Bird: 1-5, 1 R, 1 HR, 1 RBI, 2 K — despite the homer, he’s in a little 6-for-30 (.200) slump
  • 2B Angelo Gumbs: 1-5, 1 K
  • RHP Luis Severino: 4 IP, 5 H, 1 R, 1 ER, 2 BB, 3 K, 2 WP, 4/1 GB/FB — 19-year-old has more than held his own in two spot starts here
  • LHP Tyler Webb: 3 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 0 ER, 0 BB, 3 K, 2/1 GB/FB — picked a runner off first … 27/5 K/BB in 21 innings for this year’s tenth rounder

Low-A Charleston Game One didn’t start until 10pm ET or so, and there’s no way I’m waiting for that game to end. Here’s the box score.

Short Season Staten Island (3-0 win over Williamsport)

  • CF Michael O’Neill: 1-4, 1 2B, 2 K — 55/7 K/BB in 31 pro games
  • 3B Eric Jagielo: 1-3, 1 BB
  • DH Bubba Jones: 2-4, 1 R, 1 2B, 2 K
  • RHP David Palladino: 5 IP, 3 H, 0 R, 0 ER, 1 BB, 5 K, 1 WP, 4/6 GB/FB — 30/15 K/BB in 29.2 innings for this year’s fifth rounder
  • RHP Kelvin Castro: 3 IP, 3 H, 0 R, 0 ER, 0 BB, 6 K, 2/0 GB/FB — 28/6 K/BB in 20 innings for the former infielder, who converted a little over a year ago

Rookie GCL Yanks1 (7-4 loss to GCL Braves)

  • DH Dustin Fowler: 0-4, 2 K
  • 1B Renzo Martini: 2-4, 1 2B, 1 K
  • RF Austin Aune: 0-3, 1 K — lowers his season strikeout rate from 50.5% to 50.0%
  • LHP Rony Bautista: 0.2 IP, 2 H, 3 R, 3 ER, 5 BB, 1 K — yeesh
  • LHP Nestor Cortes: 2.2 IP, 3 H, 3 R, 3 ER, 2 BB, 1 K, 1 WP, 4/0 GB/FB

Rookie GCL Yanks2 (6-5 win over GCL Pirates, walk-off style) they scored five runs in the bottom of the ninth to win

  • SS Abi Avelino: 1-5, 1 3B, 3 RBI, 1 BB, 1 E (fielding) — walk-off three-run triple … this dude’s awesome
  • DH Luis Torrens: 1-5, 1 SB
  • 3B Miguel Andujar: 2-3, 1 R, 1 BB, 1 HBP, 1 E (fielding)
  • LF Nathan Mikolas: 2-4, 1 R, 1 2B, 1 BB
  • 1B Drew Bridges: 2-4, 2 R, 1 HR, 2 RBI, 1 BB, 1 K — first pro homer for this year’s 20th rounder
  • RHP Elvin Perez: 5 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 0 ER, 0 BB, 6 K, 1 WP, 4/1 GB/FB — 31/1 K/BB (!) in 31.2 innings … he is 23 though, pretty old for the level
