RailRiders dropped a 1-3 decision at Rochester, slipping a game behind in the IL standings with 11 games left (five head-to-head). Jarred Kelenic drove in Scranton’s lone run and Oswaldo Cabrera went 1-for-4 with three strikeouts and a stolen base but left the bases loaded in the eighth; starter Alexander Cornielle allowed two runs over six innings in the loss, while Anthony Volpe went 0-for-4 as the RailRiders’ offense struggled.
The Yankees are unlikely to land Tarik Skubal at the trade deadline as their priorities are catcher and bullpen, with Detroit considering Yankees prospects (notably George Lombard Jr. and reliever Carlos Lagrange); a Lombard-for-a-rental deal is deemed a 'no chance,' and the Yankees' catchers are hitting only .184 with a .548 OPS.
Oswaldo Cabrera went 2-for-2 with a homer, three walks and three RBIs to power Scranton/Wilkes-Barre's 11-3 win over the Syracuse Mets, part of a night where the RailRiders' 3-7 hitters all went deep and Marco Luciano also homered; Yovanny Cruz earned the relief win as Yankees prospects shone across Triple-A, Double-A, High-A and Low-A.
Yankees top prospect Spencer Jones went 2-for-4 with a 117-mph solo homer and a 111-mph grand slam for the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders in a 7-1 win, highlighting a standout performance amid a weekend of mixed results across Yankees’ minor-league affiliates.
Gerrit Cole pitched 4.1 innings in his first rehab start with the Somerset Patriots, allowing 3 runs (all earned) with 3 strikeouts and a home run. Somerset surprised Reading 9-8 in 10 innings on a walk-off, with notable contributions from Oswaldo Cabrera (HR), Anthony Volpe (rehab hit and first steal), and other Yankees prospects continuing to provide offense across the affiliates. The night also featured the RailRiders, Hudson Valley, and Tampa squads posting mixed results.
