5/7 Cup of Coffee: It was a tough night for pitchers down on the farm, as the three affiliates in action combined to give up 28 runs on a Wednesday sweep. Greenville lost in a walk-off despite slugging eight home runs. Ronny Hernandez blasted two of those in his Drive debut, as Yophery Rodriguez (pictured) and Natanael Yuten also went deep twice. Worcester fell in extra innings following a late comeback, while Salem was not able to dig all the way out of an early deficit.

5/6 Cup of Coffee: On a night when the Red Sox scored ten runs, the bats were on fire throughout all stops in the system (except Portland) on Tuesday night.

With the dust settling a week after the coaching changes that took headlines across the sport, the Boston farm system saw plenty of highlights this week, capped off by a pair of promotions within the organization.

5/5 Cup of Coffee: The 2026 Florida Complex League season resumed on Monday, and the FCL Red Sox were once again on the wrong side of a heartbreaker. Despite the loss, Jorge Rodriguez (pictured) homered as part of a two-hit effort. Three other players collected extra-base hits as well.

The first full month of the minor league season is complete. With that, it is time to present the SoxProspects.com Players of the Month for April to infielder Franklin Arias (pictured, left) and right-hander Anthony Eyanson (pictured, bottom right).

Gasper had four hits to lead Worcester to the system's only win of the day. Eyanson fanned seven and continued his scoreless streak in Greenville's loss. It was a May Day to forget for Portland and Salem, who both suffered blowout defeats. Читать дальше...
