August 31, 2018 by Mike Leave a Comment

Game 135: Still waiting for Good Sevy to return
Yankees acquire Adeiny Hechavarria from Pirates

3B Dermis Garcia and RHP Frank German jumped into MLB.com’s top 30 Yankees prospects list after IF Abi Avelino and RHP Juan De Paula were sent to the Giants in the Andrew McCutchen trade. The scouting report notes German, this year’s fourth rounder, has already seen his velocity jump from 90-95 mph in college this spring to 94-98 mph with the Yankees this summer. Huh. Avelino and De Paula ranked as the team’s 23rd and 26th best prospects the trade, respectively.

Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders (3-1 win over Pawtucket)

  • 3B Gio Urshela: 1-4, 1 RBI — 12-for-32 (.375) in his last eight games
  • RF Ryan McBroom: 1-4, 1 R, 1 2B, 1 K
  • 1B Mike Ford: 1-4, 1 RBI
  • RHP Erik Swanson: 6.1 IP, 3 H, 1 R, 1 ER, 1 BB, 8 K, 1 HR, 2/5 GB/FB — 57 of 92 pitches were strikes (62%) … finishes the regular season with a 2.66 ERA and 139/29 K/BB in 121.2 innings … enough to land him on the 40-man roster over the winter? not sure

Double-A Trenton Thunder (3-2 win over Reading)

  • 2B Brandon Wagner: 1-3,1 R, 1 2B, 1 BB, 1 K — 11-for-20 (.550) during his five-game hitting streak
  • LF Trey Amburgey: 1-4, 1 R, 1 K, 1 SB
  • 3B Gosuke Katoh: 1-3, 1 RBI, 2 K
  • RHP Nick Nelson: 0.2 IP, 2 H, 2 R, 2 ER, 2 BB, 0 K, 2 WP, 1/0 GB/FB — 22 of 39 pitches were strikes (56%) … pulled because of all the pitches in the first inning … finishes the regular season with a 3.49 ERA and 144/63 K/BB in 121.2 innings
  • LHP Phil Diehl: 2.2 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 0 ER, 1 BB, 4 K, 0/3 GB?FB — 30 of 46 pitches were strikes (65%) … 108/23 K/BB in 75.1 innings

High-A Tampa Tarpons Game One (19-2 win over Bradenton) completion of their August 12th game, which was suspended due to rain in the middle of the first inning … RHP Deivi Garcia is listed in the box score but did not pitch tonight, he was the starter for the original game and didn’t throw any pitches before the rain came … don’t freak out that he was pulled from the game due to injury or a trade or whatever

  • DH Estevan Florial: 4-7, 3 R, 1 2B, 1 3B, 1 RBI — had been in a 3-for-29 (.103) skid
  • LF Clint Frazier: 1-2, 1 R, 2 RBI, 1 BB — played five innings in the field as scheduled in his second rehab game
  • CF Dom Thompson-Williams: 2-4, 2 R, 1 HR, 3 RBI, 1 SB, 1 E (fielding) — five homers in his last nine games and eight homers in his last 22 games … his 22 homers lead the farm system
  • RF Isiah Gilliam: 3-5, 3 R, 1 RBI, 1 BB, 1 K
  • 1B Steven Sensley: 3-6, 2 R, 1 HR, 5 RBI, 2 K — 10-for-28 (.357) with two homers in his last seven games
  • 2B-SS Angel Aguilar: 2-5, 2 R, 2 HR, 5 RBI
  • RHP Rony Garcia: 7 IP, 6 H, 2 R, 2 ER, 0 BB, 8 K, 1 HR, 7/4 GB/FB — 59 of 90 pitches were strikes (66%) … 20-year-old finishes the regular season with a 4.31 ERA and 107/28 K/BB in 119 innings

High-A Tampa Tarpons Game Two was rained out. The game was canceled and will not be made up.

Low-A Charleston RiverDogs (4-3 win over Charleston in ten innings, walk-off style)

  • SS Oswaldo Cabrera: 2-5, 2 K
  • 1B Dermis Garcia: 1-4, 1 RBI, 1 BB, 1 K — walk-off single
  • 2B Wilkerman Garcia: 0-3, 1 R, 1 BB, 1 SB
  • RHP Roansy Contreras: 6 IP, 2 H, 0 R, 0 ER, 3 BB, 6 K, 3/4 GB/FB — 47 of 74 pitches were strikes (64%) … 18-year-old finishes with a 2.42 ERA and 60/21 K/BB in 63.2 innings … just an all around incredible season
