- CF Billy McKinney: 0-3, 2 BB, 1 K — in a little 3-for-22 (.136) skid
- 3B Brandon Drury: 2-4, 1 K
- 1B Tyler Austin: 0-3, 1 BB, 1 K
- DH Mike Ford: 1-3, 1 R, 1 HR, 1 RBI, 1 HBP — left the game after taking a pitch to the foot
- SS Abi Avelino: 3-4, 1 R, 1 3B, 2 RBI, 1 SB — 8-for-22 (.364) in six games since coming back up from Trenton
- RHP Erik Swanson: 4.2 IP, 2 H, 0 R, 0 ER, 0 BB, 3 K, 3/4 GB/FB — 42 of 57 pitches were strikes (74%) … he’s still getting stretched all the way back out following the groin injury, so he was on a pitch limit, hence the short start
- RHP Cody Carroll: 1 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 ER, 2 BB, 2 K — ten of 21 pitches were strikes (48%) … 31.0 K% and 10.1 BB% this year after 28.0 K% and 9.4 BB% last year
Double-A Trenton Thunder (5-3 win over Richmond)
- RF Trey Amburgey: 2-4, 1 R, 1 RBI
- SS Kyle Holder: 1-4, 1 R
- RHP Mike King: 6 IP, 7 H, 3 R, 3 ER, 0 BB, 2 K, 1 HR, 1 WP, 1 HB, 9/1 GB/FB — 56 of 82 pitches were strikes (68%) … back-to-back starts with three earned runs allowed after allowing three earned runs once in his first 14 starts
High-A Tampa Tarpons (5-2 loss to Dunedin)
- SS Hoy Jun Park & 2B Diego Castillo: both 0-4
- 1B Brandon Wagner: 2-4, 1 R, 1 HR, 1 RBI — 18 homers in 82 games this year … he hit 19 homers in 216 games from 2015-17
- RF Isiah Gilliam: 1-4, 1 2B, 2 K
- C Donny Sands: 0-1, 1 K, 1 HBP — left the game the inning after the hit by pitch
- RHP Rony Garcia: 6 IP, 7 H, 4 R, 4 ER, 2 BB, 4 K, 6/2 GB/FB — 58 of 92 pitches were strikes (63%) … not sure if this is a permanent promotion or a spot start … he did throw 135.1 innings at Charleston the last two seasons, so it might be permanent
- LHP Trevor Lane: 2 IP, 2 H, 1 R, 1 ER, 0 BB, 2 K, 1 HR, 4/0 GB/FB — 19 of 32 pitches were strikes (59%)
Low-A Charleston RiverDogs (4-0 loss to Hickory)
- 2B Wilkerman Garcia: 1-4
- SS Oswaldo Cabrera: 1-4, 1 K, 1 CS
- 1B Dermis Garcia: 1-3, 1 BB, 1 K — ninth straight start in the field at first base, so I guess that transition is underway … not unexpected, he’s always been a rough defender at third base
- RF Leonardo Molina: 1-3, 1 2B, 1 BB, 2 K — got picked off second
- RHP Janson Junk: 4 IP, 6 H, 1 R, 1 ER, 3 BB, 4 K, 4/2 GB/FB — 55 of 91 pitches were strikes (60%)

- RHP Harold Cortijo: 5.1 IP, 2 H, 0 R, 0 ER, 1 BB, 3 K, 9/3 GB/FB — 40 of 69 pitches were strikes (58%) … 19/6 K/BB in 18.2 innings for last year’s 14th rounder
Rookie Pulaski Yankees (13-1 loss to Princeton)
- DH Everson Pereira: 0-2, 1 BB, 1 K — left the game in the seventh inning for an unknown reason (maybe because it was a blowout and they were getting him some rest?)
- 2B Ezequiel Duran: 1-4
- 3B Nelson Gomez: 0-3, 1 BB, 2 K
- RHP Luis Medina: 3.2 IP, 4 H, 5 R, 5 ER, 4 BB, 7 K, 1 WP, 1 Balk, 2/1 GB/FB — 46 of 83 pitches were strikes (55%) … 17 runs and a 14/19 K/BB in 13 innings through five starts
Rookie GCL Yankees East (2-1 win over GCL Blue Jays, walk-off style)
- CF Estevan Florial: 3-4, 1 R, 1 2B, 1 HR, 1 RBI — played seven innings today, and since he’s yet to play a full nine innings in the field, I’d guess he’s still a few days away from rejoining Tampa … 11-for-23 (.478) with two doubles and two homers in four rehab games following wrist surgery
- RF Alexander Santana: 1-1, 1 2B, 1 RBI — took over for Florial and hit the walk-off double

Rookie GCL Yankees West (4-3 win over GCL Pirates)
