What appeared to be nothing more than a rare intradivision trade between heated rivals might actually have turned into something much more. Elmer Rodríguez is making sure of that. The Yankees' No. 3 prospect extended his nearly spotless start to the campaign by striking out six over 5 2/3 scoreless

George Lombard Jr. garnered praise at Spring Training for his Major League-level defense at shortstop. He tested those skills at a new spot on Tuesday. With Anthony Volpe manning shortstop as he rehabs a left-shoulder injury, MLB’s No. 27 prospect started at third base for the first time as a

In the song "Mr. Jones," alternative band Counting Crows sang about how everyone wanted "to be big stars." Well, the Yankees' incarnation of that title -- Spencer Jones -- appears to be well on his way. The Yankees’ No. 6 prospect has gotten off to a hot start this season

The rise of Carlos Lagrange only continues. The Yankees' No. 2 prospect (MLB No. 73) made his third start of the season with Scranton Wilkes-Barre on Saturday, and although limited to just 3 1/3 innings, he managed to set a new bar for himself at the Triple-A level.

Elmer Rodríguez is off to a hot start in 2026. Rodríguez, MLB Pipeline’s No. 3 Yankees prospect and No. 77 overall prospect in baseball, allowed two runs (one earned) across five innings in Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre’s 10-2 loss to Durham at PNC Field on Friday, the first game of a doubleheader.

With the Minor League season opening this week, here's where the Yankees' Top 30 Prospects are projected to start:

1. George Lombard Jr. (MLB No. 30), INF -- Somerset (Double-A)
2. Carlos Lagrange (MLB No. 76), RHP -- Scranton/Wilkes-Barre (Triple-A)
3. Elmer Rodríguez (MLB No. 79), RHP -- Scranton/Wilkes-Barre (Triple-A)

While Spencer Jones waits for an opportunity to open up in the big leagues, he’s passing the time the only way he knows how: mashing dingers. Jones, the Yankees’ No. 6 prospect per MLB Pipeline, blasted his first homer of the season for Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Sunday, a 109.1 mph

One of the Yankees' toughest decisions this spring was to send down Carlos Lagrange, their top pitching prospect. The 6-foot-7, 248-pound flame-thrower turned heads with a performance that exceeded lofty expectations in his first big league camp.
