MLB.com | Mark Feinsand<\/a>: Although the team\u2019s top two prospects, George Lombard Jr. and Carlos Lagrange, appear to be off-limits at this year\u2019s Trade Deadline, the Yankees still have quite a bit of prospect ammunition to make a deal at this deadline, with former top prospects Jasson Dom\u00ednguez and Spencer Jones joining current prospects Dax Kilby and Elmer Rodr\u00edguez as players the Bombers could look to move to augment this year\u2019s big league club.<\/p>\n

The Athletic | Brendan Kuty<\/a>: With a series loss to the Los Angeles Dodgers in the rearview mirror and the Trade Deadline looming, the conversation has turned to whether or not the Aaron Judge-less Yankees have the means to compete in the American League. With that in mind, Brendan Kuty makes three proposals to immediately give the Yankees a boost: get rid of Camilo Doval, call up Spencer Jones, and platoon Jazz Chisholm Jr., who has struggled against southpaws this season, with Max Schuemann, who has thrived versus them. While, in a vacuum, none of these suggestions would move the needle, in the aggregate, they might give the team a jolt.<\/p>\n

MLB.com | Bryan Hoch<\/a>: The Yankees got a bit of good injury news this weekend, as Clarke Schmidt \u2014 out since last summer after undergoing Tommy John surgery \u2014 took the mound and threw 15 pitches before Saturday night\u2019s game was postponed due to weather. Facing Anthony Volpe and Ali S\u00e1nchez, he threw only four-seam fastballs, following the same rehab schedule that Gerrit Cole did earlier this season; should all go well, he will start incorporating breaking balls in his next session. Schmidt may be able to return to the Bronx in a bullpen role in August, or as a starter in September.<\/p>\n

Baseball America<\/a>: (subscription required) Now that the draft is behind us, Baseball America has updated their Top 30 prospect lists. Perhaps unsurprisingly, Lombard took the top spot, while Lagrange \u2014 who turned heads with his high velocity during the spring \u2014 comes in fourth, behind Rodr\u00edguez and Kilby. This year\u2019s top pick, Hunter Dietz, debuts at seventh with second-rounder Sean Duncan hot on his heels, while Jones drops to ninth.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"MLB.com | Mark Feinsand: Although the team\u2019s top two prospects, George Lombard Jr. and Carlos Lagrange, appear to…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":757627,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2290],"tags":[5,3881],"class_list":["post-757626","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-baseball","tag-baseball","tag-yankees-news"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@mlb\/116958143679163417","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/757626","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=757626"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/757626\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/757627"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=757626"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=757626"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=757626"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
