Yankees Minor League Report 5/22/14: Dante Bichette Collects 3 Hits in Tampa Loss; Caleb Smith Has Rough Outing; Latest on Eric Jagielo

Eric Jagielo has an injury in his rib area that he felt after taking a swing a few nights ago (remarkably enough, he stayed in the game and homered on his next swing).  It is not an oblique injury and he will hopefully be back shortly.
--------------------------------
Scranton
(Lost to Rochester, 2-1, despite banging out 11 hits)

OF Ramon Flores:  2-for-5, 2B (13), RS, 2 K
7-game hitting streak (9-for-31)
2B Jose Pirela:  2-for-5, K
13 hits in last 24 AB.   26-for-68 overall in May.
1B Kyle Roller:  2-for-4, RBI, 2 K
Hitting pretty well for Scranton (.262) but also has 16 K in 42 AB since joining the squad.
UTIL Zelous Wheeler:  2-for-3, 2 2B (10), BB
The 27-year old has played very well this season, and is the type of player you sometimes see in September because of all of the versatility he brings.   Despite strong walk rates throughout his career, has yet to make major league debut.
IF Scott Sizemore:  1-for-4, BB, 2 K
SS Dean Anna:  0-for-4
OF Adonis Garcia: 0-for-5, K
C Francisco Arcia:  2-for-3

LHP Matt Tracy (L, 0-1):  8 IP, 5 H, 2 R, 2 ER, 1 BB, 2 K, HR
48.2 IP, 51 H, 26 R, 24 ER, 24 BB, 26 K, 4 HR between Trenton/Scranton
RHP Branden Pinder:  1 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 0 K
22.2 IP, 12 H, 3 R, 3 ER, 1 HR, 3 BB, 22 K
Do not be surprised that if at some point the Yankees decide to add another reliever to their 40-man that Pinder is the choice.  
-------------------------------------
Trenton (Lost to Harrisburg, 6-4)

CF Mason Williams:  2-for-4, RS, SB (7)
So close to the magical .200 mark (.199)
C/RF Pete O'Brien: 0-for-4, K
CF Slade Heathcott:  0-for-2, RS, 2 BB, 2 K
3-for-20 with three walks and nine strikeouts.
OF Tyler Austin:  1-for-4, 2B (5), 2 RBI, 2 K
Modest 6-game hitting streak, but you have to start somewhere.
C Gary Sanchez:  0-for-4, RS
It is unbelievable to see him down to .224.
2B Robert Refsnyder:  2-for-4, K
As I have said before, he has been very solid, and reduced his strikeouts considerably from April to May.
OF Ben Gamel: 1-for-4, RS

RHP Eric Ruth:  3.2 IP, 2 H, 1 R, 1 ER, 2 BB, 4 K
All organizations have that "organizational floater" who flies around filling in holes wherever he is needed.  Ruth may be one of those pitchers, as he has pitched at three different levels this season (Tampa, Scranton, Trenton).  
RHP Manny Barreda:  3 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 2 BB, 5 K
2.00 ERA; 27 IP, 19 H, 7 R, 6 ER, 2 HR, 13 BB, 27 K
LHP Fred Lewis (L, 0-1):  0.2 IP, 4 H, 3 R, 3 ER, 2 BB, 1 K
From nearly making the major league roster to someone who they may seriously flat out release.  He has been absolutely terrible.
-------------------------------------------------
Tampa (Lost to Jupiter, 4-3.  At least it's the biggest planet)

3B Dante Bichette:  3-for-4, 2 RBI
Snaps 1-for-15 slide.
CF Jake Cave:  2-for-4, RS, BB
9-game hitting streak (17-for-41).  That is a lot of hits for a 9-game hitting streak.   He has been remarkable.
1B Greg Bird:  1-for-4, BB, K
15-for-50 with 10 walks and 13 strikeouts.
SS Cito Culver:  0-for-5, 2 K
Just end the misery already.
1B Matt Snyder:  0-for-4
UTIL Claudio Custodio:  0-for-3, RS, K, SB (12)
Can't hit a lick, but is 84-for-92 in his career stealing bases.

LHP Conner Kendrick:  0.2 IP, 2 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 1 K
There was no rain delay, so I do not know why he left this game.
RHP Brett Gerritse:  5.1 IP, 6 H, 2 R, 2 ER, 1 BB, 1 K
LHP Dietrich Enns:  2 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 4 K
1.48 ERA; 24.1 IP, 15 H, 4 R, 4 ER, 1 HR, 10 BB, 25 K
Continues to impress.
---------------------------------------
Charleston (Lost to Hickory, 9-4)

OF Aaron Judge:  2-for-4, 2B (7), RBI, BB
12 hits in last 35 AB
SS Tyler Wade:  2-for-5, RS, K
Three multi-hit games in last four played.
3B Miguel Andujar: 2-for-5, K
OF Dustin Fowler:  2-for-4, HR (1), RBI, RS, 2 K
First hit of the season was a home run.    Now 2-for-16.
2B Gosuke Katoh: 0-for-4, 3 K
Time to send him back to extended spring training to prepare for Staten Island's season?
OF Michael O'Neill:  1-for-3, RS, 2 BB, K
CF Brandon Thomas:  0-for-4, RBI, 2 K
1B Mike Ford:  0-for-3, RS, BB

LHP Caleb Smith:  4 IP, 5 H, 3 R, 3 ER, 1 BB, 4 K, HR
1.28 ERA; 42.1 IP, 25 H, 8 R, 6 ER, 17 BB, 48 K, HR
Second time allowing more than two runs in a start this season (9 starts)
RHP Giovanny Gallegos (L, 1-4):  2.1 IP, 6 H, 6 R, 6 ER, 1 BB, 3 K, HR
4.19 ERA; 38.2 IP, 39 H, 23 R, 18 ER, 8 BB, 36 K, 4 HR
He has been mostly solid this season, but not tonight.
RHP Angel Rincon:  1.2 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 2 K
