The Yankees have signed Florida JuCo C Doug Borgh as an undrafted free agent, according to Matt Eddy. Borgh hit only .190/.320/.190 in 18 games this spring. Sounds like they just need a spare catcher for the lower levels. Borgh is local and available, and presumably cheap.
Triple-A Scranton (5-2 win over Lehigh Valley)
- DH Ben Gamel: 2-3, 1 R, 1 2B, 1 RBI, 1 BB — he’s hitting .336/.420/.459 in 150 Triple-A plate appearances since June 1st
- RF Aaron Judge: 2-4, 3 RBI — 19-for-50 (.380) with eight walks in his last 13 games

- LHP Tyler Webb: 1 IP, zeroes, 2/1 GB/FB — 12 pitches, nine strikes
- RHP Nick Goody: 1 IP, zeroes, 0/1 GB/FB — nine pitches, six strikes
Double-A Trenton (7-2 win over Bowie)
- SS Tyler Wade: 2-5, 2 R, 1 HR, 1 RBI, 1 BB, 2 K, 1 E (throwing) — fourth homer in 80 games this year, though one was an inside-the-parker … he hit four homers total in 306 games from 2013-15
- CF Dustin Fowler: 1-6, 1 R, 2 K, 1 SB
- 3B Miguel Andujar: 0-4, 1 RBI, 1 K — in a little 2-for-17 (.118) slump
- C Kyle Higashioka: 1-4, 1 R, 1 2B, 2 RBI, 1 BB, 1 K
- 2B Cito Culver: 3-5, 1 RBI, 1 K — the Summer of Cito continues

High-A Tampa (2-0 loss to Daytona)
- DH Mason Williams: 0-4 — his rehab assignment has been transferred here … his 20-day rehab clock started Saturday, so come Friday, July 22nd, expect the Yankees to activate Williams and option him to Triple-A … they’ll have to clear a 40-man roster spot since he’s on the 60-day DL, but that shouldn’t be a problem
- SS Jorge Mateo & RF Austin Aune: 1-3, 1 BB, 1 K
- LF Trey Amburgey: 0-3, 1 BB — so not only is he back from his hamstring injury, he’s been promoted to High-A

- 3B Thairo Estrada: 1-4, 1 2B
- LHP Ian Clarkin: 7 IP, 5 H, 2 R, 2 ER, 1 BB, 6 K, 11/2 GB/FB, 1 E (pickoff) — 62 of 90 pitches were strikes (69%), plus he picked a runner off first … he’s allowed two earned runs or less in nine of his last ten starts … 69/28 K/BB in 91.1 innings
- RHP Jordan Foley: 2 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 ER, 1 BB, 5 K — 18 of 23 pitches were strikes (78%) … 54/22 K/BB in 38 innings

Short Season Staten Island (3-2 loss to Hudson Valley)
- 2B Nick Solak: 1-4, 1 R, 1 K
- 3B Mandy Alvarez: 1-4, 1 2B, 1 K — this year’s 17th rounder has a hit in 12 of his 13 pro games, and he drew a walk in the game he went hitless
- C Luis Torrens: 2-4, 1 2B, 1 K — playing time has sporadic because he’s been banged up, but he’s 12-for-34 (.353) with only four strikeouts in 36 plate appearances (11.1%)
- DH Dom Thompson-Williams: 0-3, 1 BB, 1 K
- RHP Simon De La Rosa: 6.2 IP, 8 H, 2 R, 2 ER, 1 BB, 10 K, 2 WP, 6/1 GB/FB — 71 of 98 pitches were strikes (72%) … 22/6 K/BB in 18.1 innings here after a 38/27 K/BB in 31 innings with Charleston
Rookie Pulaski (7-6 win over Bristol, walk-off style) they scored six runs in the bottom of the ninth for the win
- CF Estevan Florial: 0-5, 1 R, 1 RBI, 1 BB, 2 K, 1 SB — got picked off first
- SS Wilkerman Garcia: 1-5, 1 R, 1 RBI, 1 BB, 1 K — drew the walk-off walk

- RHP Juan Escorcia: 3.1 IP, 0 H, 2 R, 2 ER, 3 BB, 4 K, 1 HB, 3/3 GB/FB
Rookie GCL Yanks West (2-1 win over GCL Tigers East)
- RF-LF Leobaldo Cabrera: 1-4,1 RBI
- SS Diego Castillo: 0-4
- CF Blake Rutherford: 0-2, 1 K — pro debut for this year’s first rounder … he played five innings before being removed … that’s not too uncommon, his high school season ended in May, so the Yankees aren’t going to throw him right into the grind of day in, day out baseball
- 1B Miguel Flames: 2-4, 1 R — Miggy Fire is 8-for-24 (.333) in his last six games … he has two strikeouts and one walk in 33 plate appearances, so he’s going to put the ball in play
- 3B Nelson Gomez: 0-2, 1 BB
- LHP Anderson Severino: 5 IP, 2 H, 1 R, 1 ER, 2 BB, 2 K, 8/3 GB/FB
