It was not a good outing for Domingo German, who gave up 7 runs on 4 HR and 2 HBP in an outing that lasted less than three innings. The Yanks (9-12-1 in spring training) lost to Detroit, 8-7.
The lineup featured mostly prospects and minor leaguers. The most notable thing was IKF in CF.
Volpe 0 for 4 #1 prospect. Benjamin Cowles 1 for 1, 2-run HR. Peraza 1 for 3, was HBP. #3 prospect Hicks 2 for 3 with walk but made his third bad fielding play of spring training. Kiner-Falefa (IKF) 1 for 3 Spencer Jones 2 for 2 #5 prospect Estevan Florial 2 for 4, 3 RBI Wilmer Difo 2 for 4, 2-run HR Mickey Gasper 1 for 1
German (L) 2 2/3 IP, 7 R, 9 H, 0 W, 1 K. Gave up 4 HR. 2 HBP. Krook 2 1/3 IP, 1 R, 2 H, 2 W, 3 K. Gave up HR Deivi Garcia 2 IP, 0 R, 2 H, 1 W, 3 K. Danish 1 IP, 0 R, 0 H, 0 W, 1 K.
You have to remember that Jasson Dominguez, aka as “The Martian”, is only 20 years old and has only played a handful of games in AA, where he will probably start out at in 2023.
But it is ok to dream of him being in the Bronx soon. He homered yet again today in one of the Yankees (8-8 in spring training) split squad games. He played in the home game, in which they lost to the Phillies, 6-3.
The Yanks only had four hits in this game.
LeMahieu 1 for 2 with a walk Judge 0 for 2 with a walk. Stanton 2 for 3, single and double. Dominguez 1 for 3, 2-run HR #2 prospect Volpe 0 for 1 with a walk, also was HBP #1 prospect
German 2 1/3 IP, 2 R, 3 H, 0 W, 3 K M. Gomez 2/3 IP, 0 R, 1 H, 0 W, 0 K. Peralta 1 IP, 0 R, 1 H, 1 W, 1 K Holmes 1 IP, 1 R, 2 H, 0 W, 0 K 1 HBP King 1 IP, 0 R, 0 H, 1 W, 1 K. Krook (L) 2 2/3 IP, 3 R, 5 H, 1 W, 3 K. 2 WP has shot at bullpen spot. Keating 1/3 IP, 0 R, 0 H, 0 W, 1 K. 1 WP
They lost the away game, 3-0 to the Pirates, getting just 5 hits.
Peraza 0 for 3 #3 prospect Kiner-Falefa 1 for 3 Florial 0 for 2, 2 strikeouts. I expect him to be DFA’d soon. Donaldson 0 for 3 McKinney 2 for 3 Jones 0 for 2, 2 strikeouts #5 prospect.
Weber (L) 2 2/3 IP, 3 R, 5 H, 2 W, 1 K. Gave up 2 HR 1 balk Hamilton 1 1/3 IP, 0 R, 2 H, 0 W, 1 K. Ramirez 1 IP, 0 R, 1 H, 0 W, 1 K. Has shot at bullpen spot. Santos 3 IP, 0 R, 1 H, 3 W, 1 K.
The Yankees (5-3 in spring training) lost 5-3 to Detroit Friday night, but Gerrit Cole and Michael King were impressive in the loss.
For King, it was very encouraging to see. King was 6-3, 2.29 last season and really dominating when he fractured his pitching elbow. For him to come out and do great was wonderful to see.
Not a good outing however for Clarke Schmidt, who is battling Domingo German for the #5 starter slot that is up for grabs because of Frankie Montas’ shoulder injury.
Highlights
Aaron Judge 2 for 3, both hits doubles Gleyber Torres 0 for 2, both strikeouts. Had a tooth pulled the day before. D.J. LeMahieu and Giancarlo Stanton both 0 for 3 Willie Calhoun 1 for 2. Trying to win LF job. Harrison Bader 1 for 2, double. Spencer Jones (#5 prospect) 2 for 2
Cole 3 IP, 0 R, 1 H, 0 W, 4 K. King (H) 2 IP, 0 R, 0 H, 0 W, 4 K. Schmidt (BS, L) 1 2/3 IP, 4 R, 3 H, 1 W, 2 K. 1 HBP. Gave up 1 HR. He has an option left. Could be sent to AAA. Fenter 1/3 IP, 0 R, 1 H, 0 W, 0 K. Deivi Garcia 2 IP, 1 R, 2 H, 1 W, 3 K. 1 HBP.
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.
The Yankees beat the Tigers 8-5 Monday night to go to 3-1 in spring training.
Some boxscore highlights:
Jesus Bastidas 2 RBI Willie Calhoun 1 for 2, walk (trying to grab LF job) Spencer Jones 0 for 1 struck out #7 prospect Oswaldo Cabrera 1 for 3, RBI. Nice D play at 3B, but also an error.

Now that it is September, rosters can expand slightly, to 28 players. With that, the Yankees have called up #3 prospect SS Oswald Peraza (see stats below). They also reactivated Marwin Gonzalez from the paternity list. Tim Locastro, who was up for Gonzalez, stays.
AAA: SWB (66-59) split a doubleheader. Game 1: Lost 4-1. Peraza Solo HR (19). #3 prospect. .259-19-50, 33 SB. Just called up. Shortly after hitting this HR, Peraza was removed from the game because the Yankees have called him up.
Gomez has fought injuries. In 12 starts this year, he has pitched only 34 innings, so the Yanks are bringing him along slowly. Hence the record.
