Old friend alert!
Former Yankees pitcher Miguel Yajure has signed a minor league deal with the Astros. He pitched in Japan the past two seasons (Yakult Swallows IIRC?)

Hernandez was everything I expected to see, and more. I'll have a write-up in the coming days on him.
MLB Pipeline@MLBPipeline
Seth Hernandez delivers another hitless outing for Single-A @The_Marauders! 🟡 Career-high five frames (67 pitches) ⚫️ 8 strikeouts, 11 whiffs 🟡 Averaged 97 mph -- touched 100 mph -- with four-seamer MLB's No. 24 prospect (@Pirates) has a 17.3 K/9 through three starts.

Gerrit Cole's first MLB rehab start is in the books.
4.1 IP | 3 H | 3 ER | 1 BB | 3 K🔥

If the Yankees had decided to have Gerrit Cole rehab in Tampa, he would have only had a crowd of 50-ish to cheer him on 😂
I counted 30 fans on the 1B side; never got around to counting the 3B side, but there couldn't have been more than 20 fans.

Anthony Volpe with the smooth play to end a 4⃣ pitch inning for Gerrit Cole.
English
Interesting that they plan on taking Berrios to Ft. Myers for a rehab assignment instead of pitching in FCL/Ext. Spring.

Trey Yesavage will make another stat at triple-A Buffalo, on Tuesday, said Blue Jays manager John Schneider. Aim will be to get him to 75 pitches, maybe a few more, and “let him feel that one more time.” Jose Berrios will pitch again in Dunedin next Wednesday.

I’d rather watch these Somerset games than the MLB team rn
Somerset Patriots@SOMPatriots
Gerrit Cole strikeouts are BACK🔥 The @Yankees ace picks up the first punchout of his rehab assignment on the curveball.

@_yankeesource I don't promote players, so I have no say. However, I have heard buzz on other pitchers that are definitely better positioned for promotion. Rodriguez needs time in Tampa to prove himself; I'd prefer to see Facundo promoted first.
English
@jbrophybaseball One of the best relief prospects in the system could see him end up in Double-A this year if we promote him aggressively. Ben Grable and Tony Rossi have no business in High-A.

A name to watch:
Low-A LHRP Pedro Rodríguez
Age: 23 years old
2026 Stats:
(4 G, 0 GS, 0-0 W/L, 0.00 ERA 4.2 IP, 7 K’s, 0.86 WHIP, 13.50 K/9, 3.86 BB/9, 0.00 HR/9, 3.86 H/9, 3.50 K/BB.
Could be a fast mover considering his age and that he’s a relief pitcher.

First pitch strike at 95 for Cole (foul tipped back) and we’re underway.
English
@_yankeesource When they played him in a Major League ST game, that put him on my radar. They don't play guys there for no reason.

QAM
Web gem kinda play by Bryce Martin-Grudzielanek over at SS. Unfortunately, umpire called the runner safe (I thought he was out).
English
Didn't want to say anything until last minute but Hans Montero just broke up the no hitter with a line drive, bottom 8th

Spoke with Anthony Volpe just now as part of a group availability pre-game.
He says the shoulder still feels good.
Will likely play here again Sunday if weather permits.
Somerset skipper James Cooper also expects Gerrit Cole to throw no more than 50 pitches today.
English
This is how they handle delays, and tbh, it's incredibly fun haha
English
Significant delay here in Tampa after the home plate ump took a foul ball to the mask (I think)
English
I've been told that RHP Thomas Balboni Jr will commence a rehab assignment with the Tarpons today, wearing #14.

#OTD, The Great One made his Major League debut.
Roberto Clemente made his Pirates debut on April 17, 1955, at Forbes Field, playing right field and hitting a single in his first at-bat, the first of his 3,000 hits.
English
@NY647764 I know I haven't, but I also haven't been with the team in well over a week. I'll ask around.
English
I'm assuming this was yesterday, but regardless, it's good to see that Bryce Cunningham is seeing some in-game action. Same with Hurd, Parliament, Warrecker and Velasquez being available off the bench.
English
🎙️Bryce Cunningham, Thatcher Hurd, Wyatt Parliment, and Luis Velasquez could all pitch today in an FCL exhibition!
