The video is OF Mason Williams making a ridiculous catch in last night’s game. Here are two quick notes:
- RHP Brett Gerritse was placed on the High-A Tampa DL with an unknown injury, according to Nicholas Flammia. LHP Ramon Benjamin was added to the roster in his place. The Yankees signed him late last month and he’s more than filler. Benjamin is an ex-Marlins prospect who is finally healthy after battling a ton of injuries the last few years.
- Thursday’s Low-A Charleston game will air on CBS Sports Network, if you want to catch the game. I’m not sure who’s starting that night. Play-by-play guy Sean Houston is going to call the game while walking on a treadmill behind home plate. Minor league baseball, man.
Triple-A Scranton (8-7 win over Toledo)
- LF Jose Pirela: 2-5, 1 R, 1 2B, 1 RBI, 1 K — been playing nothing but left field or first base for a few weeks now
- 2B Rob Refsnyder: 1-5, 1 R
- CF-RF Zoilo Almonte: 1-3, 2 BB — wonder if we’ll start seeing him in center more these next few weeks as a trade showcase
- 3B Scott Sizemore: 2-4, 1 R, 1 3B, 2 RBI, 1 BB, 1 K — go ahead two-run single in the top of the ninth
- 1B Kyle Roller: 0-3, 2 R, 1 BB, 1 K
- C Austin Romine: 1-4, 1 R, 1 HR, 3 RBI, 1 E (throwing) — he’s about to lose a bunch of playing time to the just demoted C John Ryan Murphy
- LHP Jeremy Bleich: 4 IP, 7 H, 6 R, 5 ER, 2 BB, 4 K, 1 WP, 6/1 GB/FB — 53 of 88 pitches were strikes (60%)
- RHP Heath Bell: 1 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 ER, 2 BB, 0 K, 2/0 GB/FB — 10 of 19 pitches were strikes (53%)
Double-A Trenton (5-2 loss to Bowie)
- CF Mason Williams: 0-2, 1 R, 2 BB, 1 SB — 15 steals in 62 games this year and 15 steals in 117 games last year … he is 17-for-56 (.304) in his last 14 games
- LF Ben Gamel, C Gary Sanchez & DH Tyler Austin: all 1-4 — Sanchez doubled … Austin scored a run and struck out
- 1B Peter O’Brien: 0-4, 2 K
- LHP Matt Tracy: 6 IP, 6 H, 1 R, 1 ER, 1 BB, 2 K, 10/3 GB/FB — 51 of 86 pitches were strikes (59%)
- LHP Tyler Webb: 1.2 IP, 3 H, 3 R, 3 ER, 0 BB, 3 K, 2/0 GB/FB — 25 of 35 pitches were strikes (71%)
High-A Tampa (1-0 win over Daytona)
- CF Jake Cave: 1-4, 1 R, 2 K
- SS Cito Culver & 1B Greg Bird: both 0-4 — Bird struck out twice
- 3B Dante Bichette Jr.: 2-4, 1 2B, 1 RBI, 1 K
- LHP Miguel Sulbaran: 6 IP, 4 H, 0 R, 0 ER, 2 BB, 1 K, 6/6 GB/FB
- RHP Nick Goody: 1 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 ER, 1 BB, 2 K, 0/1 GB/FB — 26/5 K/BB in 15.1 innings this year following Tommy John surgery
- LHP Ramon Benjamin: 1 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 ER, 1 BB, 0 K, 2/1 GB/FB — RAB correspondent Andy in Sunny Daytona says Benjamin was 94-96 with an 86-87 slider, so there’s some lefty specialist potential here
Low-A Charleston is off until Thursday for the All-Star break. The All-Star Game finished in a 4-4 tie after ten innings. Here’s the box score.
- RF Aaron Judge: 1-3, 2 RBI — started the game at cleanup and played five innings … he singled in the South Division team’s first two runs in the third inning
- RHP Brady Lail: 1 IP, zeroes, 3/0 GB/FB — six pitches, five strikes … he threw a very quick fourth inning
- Both 1B Mike Ford and LHP Caleb Smith were elected to the game but did not play. Ford is actually on the 7-day DL for some reason.
Short Season Staten Island (4-3 win over Aberdeen, walk-off style)
- RF Austin Aune: 1-4, 1 RBI, 1 K, 1 SB
- DH Chris Breen: 2-4, 1 3B, 1 K — ex-catcher now relegated to first base and DH work
- 3B Ty McFarland: 1-4, 1 R
- SS Thairo Estrada: 0-3, 1 R, 1 E (fielding)
- LF Nathan Mikolas: 1-3, 2 RBI, 1 K, 1 HBP — walk-off two-run single
- RHP Dillon McNamara: 3.1 IP, 4 H, 1 R, 1 ER, 1 BB, 4 K, 4/0 GB/FB
- LHP Rony Bautista: 3.1 IP, 1 H, 1 R, 1 ER, 2 BB, 4 K, 2/3 GB/FB — glad he’ll (apparently) get a chance to work extended outings here rather than one inning at a time with the River Dogs like he was earlier this year
