Standings:

SWB 2nd in division, 3 games back
Somerset 1st by 2 1/2 games See below for Hudson Valley. First place in division still does not mean playoffs.
Hudson Valley 1st by 12 1/2. See below.

Hudson Valley still is OUT of the playoffs. The format for the 2021 Postseason will consist of two teams per league in a single best-of-5 series. The two playoff participants will be decided for each league (regardless of division) based on the best regular season winning percentage. (So if a 2nd place team in the other division has a higher winning pct., you are out).

Somerset, as of now, would make the playoffs by just 1/2 a game.

Tampa 1st by 3 1/2 games. Have clinched a playoff spot.

Minor League Action, 8-17-21. Kluber, Andujar on rehab.

AAA: SWB completed a suspended game (won 7-4) and lost the regularly scheduled game, 2-0. SWB is 52-35. That suspended game actually had Luis Gil and Andrew Velazquez in the game when it was begun on July 17. Both played in the Bronx for the Yankees yesterday.

Suspended game: CF Estevan Florial 2 hits, RBI; RF Matt Pita solo HR; 2B Kyle Holder 3 for 3, 2 RBI.

Gil, last night’s starter for the Yanks, had started this game on July 17, pitching the first inning, giving up no runs on one hit and striking out one. When the game resumed last night, Corey Kluber was on the mound in his rehab assignment. 3 IP, 3 R, 2 H, 2 W, 4 K. Gave up a HR. He did get the win, but in his two rehab stints so far, Kluber is 1-0 but with a 16.62 ERA, having given up 8 runs in 4 1/3 IP. Hopefully he is physically ok and just needs to work on his command and get his mojo back after being on the IL so long. Sal Romano pitched the last inning, 1 R, 3 H, 3 K. The game had been suspended after six innings at 0-0.

Regular game: Miguel Andujar went 1 for 3 on rehab. SWB only got two hits. With Joey Gallo on the team, and Gio Urshela 80% and probably coming back soon, you wonder where there is a place on the Yankees for Andujar right now.

AA: Somerset (54-36) won 9-1. SS Oswald Peraza (#4 prospect) 4 hits, 3 RBI, 2 doubles, solo HR. 2B Oswaldo Cabrera (#22 prospect) 2 hits, 3 RBI. C Josh Breaux (#14 prospect) 2 hits. CF Michael Beltre 2 hits. 1B Dermis Garcia 2 hits, RBI. RF Tom Milone 2 hits, RBI. Starting P Hayden Wesneski (#24 prospect) 6 scoreless IP.

High A: Hudson Valley (57-34) won 3-2 in 10 innings. DH Mickey Gasper solo HR. 3B James Nelson 2 hits.

Low A: Tampa (60-28) lost 4-3. DH Carlos Narvaez 2-run HR. C Ben Rice 2 hits.

Minor league scores, 8-14-21

Tampa 1st by 6 games.

Minor league action, 8-12-21. Not a good rehab start for Kluber. Great night for Pereira.

While the major leaguers (Yanks/White Sox) were at the Field of Dreams, the minor leaguers have dreams of their own. To make “the show.”

AAA: SWB (50-32) won 10-3 in a game completed early because of inclement weather. CF Greg Allen (wish Yanks kept him up) 2 hits. RF Ryan LaMarre 2-run HR. LF Brandon Wagner solo HR. 3B Armando Alvarez 2 hits. DH/RF Socrates Brito 3 hits, RBI. SS Kyle Holder 2 RBI. C Jason Lopez 2-run HR. 2B Cristian Perez 3 hits.

AA: Somerset (52-34) lost 8-7. Rehab start for Corey Kluber, and not a good one. Hopefully just rust and nothing physical. 1 1/3 IP, 5 R, 2 H, 4 W, 1 K. 2 HBP, 1 WP. Nowhere close to his usual control.

Ken Waldichuk, who’s been good this year, had an off night. Maybe because instead of starting, he came in to relieve Kluber. He took the loss. 4 2/3 IP, 3 R, 7 H, 0 W, 4 K. 2 HBP. (4-2, 3.71 at AA; Overall this year: 6-2, 2.36.)

CF Brandon Lockridge 2 hits. 1B Chris Gittens on rehab: 2 hits, 3 RBI, 2-run HR. SS Oswaldo Cabrera 2 hits. C Josh Breaux 2 hits, RBI. RF Michael Beltre 3-run HR. DH Dermis Garcia 3 hits.

High A: Hudson Valley (55-32) won 8-4. DH Everson Pereira 5 for 5, scored 3 runs, drove in 4 runs. 2 solo HRs. What a night! RF Jake Sanford 2 hits, 2 RBI. 1B Kyle MacDonald 3 hits.

Low A: Both games of a Tampa doubleheader ppd.

Minor league recap. Frazier starts rehab.

AAA: SWB (49-31) lost 8-1. Another rough outing for Deivi Garcia (2-5, 7.25 at AAA this year). 4 1/3 IP, 5 R, 3 H, 5 W, 4 K. Gave up 1 HR. C Donny Sands solo HR. SS Kyle HOlder 2 hits.

AA: Somerset rained out.

HIgh A: Hudson Valley (54-31) won 7-4. SS Anthony Volpe 2 hits, 2 RBI, a 2-run HR. CF Everson Pereira 2-run HR. LF Pat DeMarco solo HR. Starting P Mitch Spence (W, 5-2, 3.00) 6 IP, 1 R, 3 H, 2 W, 5 K, gave up 1 HR.

Low A: Tampa (56-27) lost 3-2, getting just three hits, two by DH Clint Frazier, who just started rehab. Top prospect Jasson Dominguez is in a slump. Down to .237 at Tampa, .229 overall.
