DotF: Chance Adams gets rocked in Scranton’s win

LHP Ryan Bollinger has cleared waivers and been outrighted to Double-A Trenton, the Yankees announced. That opens up a 40-man roster spot. The Yankees will need that when they call someone (David Hale?) up to start one the doubleheader games against the Tigers next week. Bollinger spent one day in the big leagues earlier this week and, even though he didn’t pitch, that’s pretty cool. He gets affordable health care for life and a small pension in addition to the whole big league experience.

Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders (7-4 win over Syracuse)

• RF Tyler Wade: 2-5, 1 RBI, 1 K — he’s played every position except pitcher, catcher, and first base since being sent down
• DH Clint Frazier: 2-4, 1 R, 1 2B, 1 RBI, 1 BB — here’s video of the double and the single … the single featured a good ol’ double TOOTBLAN
• 3B Brandon Drury: 2-4, 1 R, 1 HR, 2 RBI — third homer in 26 minor league games this year
• RHP Chance Adams: 0.2 IP, 1 H, 3 R, 3 ER, 3 BB, 1 K, 1 HB, 1/0 GB/FB — 19 of 38 pitches were strikes (50%) … shortest start of his career and a disaster outing all around … “Fastball wasn’t there at all. When you can’t command your fastball, it doesn’t really work,” said Adams to Conor Foley after the game … his walk rate in his three seasons as a starter: 7.9%, 9.6%, 11.6% … I know he had elbow surgery over the winter, but that’s not good
• RHP Cody Carroll: 2 IP, zeroes, 1/4 GB/FB — 12 of 14 pitches were strikes (86%) … efficient!

Double-A Trenton Thunder (5-4 win over Erie)

• CF Trey Amburgey: 2-5, 1 R, 1 HR, 2 RBI, 1 K — back-to-back games with a dinger
• SS Gosuke Katoh: 2-4, 1 R, 1 SB
• RF Jhalan Jackson: 0-4, 2 K
• RHP Jonathan Loaisiga: 5 IP, 6 H, 4 R, 4 ER, 0 BB, 6 K, 2 HR, 7/0 GB/FB — 58 of 77 pitches were strikes (76%) … easily his worst start of the season … he allowed six runs total in his previous seven starts and 33 innings … in fact, the four runs are the most he’s allowed in a game since July 30th, 2013, when he was still with the Giants and their Dominican Summer League affiliate
• RHP Kaleb Ort: 1 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 ER, 1 BB, 1 K, 1/1 GB/FB – nine of 18 pitches were strikes

High-A Tampa Tarpons (4-3 win over Florida)

• 2B Diego Castillo: 2-5, 1 R, 1 RBI, 1 K — three straight two-hit games
• LF Alex Palma: 3-4, 1 R, 1 BB, 1 SB — he’s up to .336/.375/.416 with an 8.3% strikeout rate
• CF Dom Thompson-Williams: 0-5, 2 K
• DH Isiah Gilliam: 1-4, 2 RBI, 3 K, 1 CS
• SS Hoy Jun Park: 0-2, 2 BB, 1 CS — 19.4 K% and 18.2 BB%
• RHP Albert Abreu: 5.1 IP, 3 H, 2 R, 2 ER, 5 BB, 8 K, 5/1 GB/FB — 56 of 96 pitches were strikes (58%) … five walks ties his career high … 37/17 K/BB in 27.1 innings

Low-A Charleston RiverDogs Game One (4-1 win over Hickory in seven innings)

• 2B Wilkerman Garcia: 1-4, 1 R, 1 K
• SS Kyle Holder: 0-4
• 3B Oswaldo Cabrera: 2-3, 1 R, 1 SB — got a little three-game hitting streak going after the 0-for-25 stretch
• RF Steven Sensley: 0-3, 1 K
• 1B Dermis Garcia: 1-3, 1 R, 2 K — not the first time he’s played first base, and I wonder how long it’ll be until he starts playing the position more regularly … general belief is his days at third base are numbered
• CF Leonardo Molina: 0-3, 1 K
• DH Pablo Olivares: 1-3, 1 R, 1 K
• RHP Rony Garcia: 6 IP, 5 H, 1 R, 1 ER, 0 BB, 9 K, 1 K, 3/2 GB/FB — 61 of 91 pitches were strikes (67%) … 42/8 K/BB in 49 innings, though he has 7+ strikeouts in three of his last four starts, which is pretty good for a 20-year-old who isn’t allowed to pitch deep into the game often

Low-A Charleston RiverDogs Game Two (7-4 loss to Hickory in seven innings) makeup of yesterday’s rainout

• SS Wilkerman Garcia: 2-4, 1 R, 2 2B, 1 RBI — 7-for-17 (.412) during his little four-game hitting streak
• 2B Oswaldo Cabrera: 0-3, 1 BB
• RF Steven Sensley: 0-2 — left the game in the fourth inning for an unknown reason

• RHP Alex Vargas: 3.2 IP, 6 H, 6 R, 6 ER, 3 BB, 3 K, 2 HR, 5/2 GB/FB — 43 of 75 pitches were strikes (57%) … he allowed eight runs two starts ago and six runs in this start … in his other four games this year, he allowed two runs in 16.1 innings
• RHP Austin DeCarr: 1 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 ER, 2 BB, 1 K, 1/1 GB/FB — eleven of 23 pitches were strikes (48%) … 6/8 K/BB in 6.2 innings
