6-foot-7 Yanks prospect -- a Bronx native! -- strikes out career-high 12 at Single-A
Henry Lalane has long been something of a pitching enigma. Standing 6-foot-7 with a mid-90s fastball and above-average changeup, the ingredients have been there for the Bronx native to break out in the Yankees’ system. The latest sign of it all coming together for the Yankees’ No. 14 prospect took

Watch LIVE: Yankees, Guardians talent meet in Prospect Showcase on MLB Network

Is there something in the Tarpons' water? Yankees prospect tallies third 3-HR game for Single-A affiliate this year
Three players have tallied three-homer games in the bigs this season. In the Minors? One squad has reached that mark all by itself. On Tuesday, Luis Puello became the third Tampa player to mash three roundtrippers in the same contest this year, powering the Yankees’ Single-A affiliate to a 15-9

New York, New York: Yankees' top prospect delivers two-HR day at Triple-A

Yanks' 26-year-old prospect thriving after unconventional path
Every player has a unique path to pro ball, one filled with his own detours. It took Tony Rossi six years, three different collegiate stops and one rehab from Tommy John surgery, but the 26-year-old has nonetheless emerged as a relief weapon down on the Yankees’ farm. That didn’t look
Yankees' top pitching prospects a filthy one-two punch in Triple-A victory
Facing MLB’s No. 60 prospect on the mound is tough. Dealing with MLB’s No. 73 prospect as a reliever afterward? That’s nearly unfair. Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre proved as much on Tuesday, employing that exact pairing in its 5-2 win over Lehigh Valley at PNC Field. New York’s top pitching prospect Elmer
