S.T. Game 20. Yanks lose to Phils, 9-8.

The Yanks (9-10-1 in spring training) gave up 7 runs before they came to bat, came back to take an 8-7 lead, but then fell to the Phillies 9-8 Wednesday afternoon.

Luis Severino started and had a bad first inning before settling in. He says he feels fine but so far this spring the results aren’t there. It is only spring training but from here on in, you want to see better results so that when the regular season starts, he hits the ground running.

Meanwhile, it was announced that Gerrit Cole—to no surprise—will be the Yanks’ Opening Day starting pitcher.

Jose Trevino is dealing with a strained right wrist but should be ok.

Michael Hermosillo was sent down to minor league camp.

From what I’ve seen, Anthony Volpe should be the Yanks’ starting shortstop. The kid continues to impress.

Highlights:

Volpe 1 for 2, RBI, 2 walks, SB.
Judge 1 for 2, walk and double.
Cabrera 1 for 2, RBI double.
Rafael Ortega 0 for 3, 2 strikeouts, misplayed a ball in CF.
IKF 0 for 3, 2 strikeouts.
Hicks 0 for 2, walk, 2 strikeouts
Florial 0 for 2
Mickey Gasper 2 for 2, RBI

Severino 2 1/3 IP, 4 R, 2 H, 3 W, 4 K. 1 balk
C. Gomez 1/3 IP, 3 R, 2 H, 3 W, 1 K. 1 WP
Cowart 1/3 IP, 0 R, 0 H, 0 W, 1 K.
Marinaccio 1 1/3 IP, 0 R, 1 H, 1 W, 1 K. 1 HBP
Nick Ramirez 1 2/3 IP, 0 R, 1 H, 0 W, 1 K.
Luis Santos 1 2/3 IP, 0 R, 0 H, 2 W, 1 K.
Jack Neely (L) 1 1/3 IP, 2 R, 3 H, 1 W, 1 K. gave up 1 HR.

S.T. Game 5. Rough day. Yanks lose, 12-0.

It wasn’t a good day for the Yankees (3-2 in spring training) and especially not for pitcher Tyler Danish as the Yanks were hammered today by Tampa Bay, 12-0.

The Yanks only had five hits, all singles. They struck out 11x.

UPDATED PROSPECT RANKINGS

Boxscore notables:

Gleyber Torres 0 for 3 with a strikeout and an error
Oswald Peraza 1 for 3 as he tries to grab the SS job. #3 prospect.
Jose Trevino 1 for 3 with a strikeout.
Everson Pereira 1 for 3 with a strikeout. #6 prospect.
Spencer Jones 0 for 2, 2 strikeouts. #5 prospect having rough spring so far.


Sean Boyle (L) 3 IP, 2 R, 2 H, 2 W, 3 K. Gave up 1 HR. #29 prospect
Matt Krook 2 IP, 0 R, 1 H, 1 W, 3 K. 1 HBP competing for a bullpen spot.
Nick Ramirez 1 IP, 0 R, 0 H, 0 W, 3 K. also competing for a bullpen spot
Tyler Danish 0 IP, 6 R, 4 H, 2 W, 0 K. Faced six batters, didn’t record an out, all six scored.
Kaleb Cowart 1 IP, 2 R, 3 H, 1 W, 1 K. Gave up 1 HR.
Sean Hermann 2/3 IP, 2 R, 5 H, 1 W, 0 K.
Alex Mauricio 1/3 IP, 0 R, 0 H, 0 W, 1 K.

An interesting development. Dodger SS Gavin Lux was injured, tearing an ACL and will miss the whole season. So IKF could be on the trading block, being that the Dodgers need a SS and the Yanks may want to go with Oswald Peraza or Anthony Volpe at SS.

Minor League Action from 9-10-22. Big day for “The Martian.” Lots of rehab to happen today.

Low A: Tampa 6th and last in FSL West in first half. 27-39, 15 GB
2nd half: 26-18, 3rd, 2 GB

Minor League Action from 8-18-22. A good night for our favorite “Martian”.

AAA: SWB’s game ppd.

AA: Somerset (68-42, 1st half division champs) lost 10-2.
SS Jesus Bastidas solo HR (14)

Deivi Garcia (L, 1-1) 5 IP, 6 R, 5 H, 2 W, 4 K. 2 HBP 6.20 (AA ERA) #26 prospect. (See below)
Cowart 1 IP, 2 R, 3 H, 1 W, 2 K. Gave up 1 HR. 7.88
Loseke 2 IP, 2 R, 2 H, 1 W, 4 K. Gave up 1 HR. 3.26

I have to say that I find it amazing that Deivi Garcia is still listed as the Yankees’ #26 prospect. He was 3-7, 6.85 at AAA last year. This year, between AAA and AA (and he was demoted from AAA to AA), he is 1-4, 8.36. Serious, serious, regression. I’m shocked he is even listed in the top 30 right now.

High A: Hudson Valley (59-51) won 11-4.
SS Trey Sweeney 2 hits, RBI. #6 prospect .234-13-48, 22 SB
