DotF: Mason Williams has huge game in Scranton’s loss

Got some notes to pass along:

• IF Cole Figueroa was named the Triple-A International League Offensive Player of the Week, and RHP Eric Ruth was named the Double-A Eastern League Pitcher of the Week. Congrats to both.
• LHP Jordan Montgomery was promoted from Low-A Charleston to High-A Tampa, according to Nicholas Flammia. Montgomery had a 2.68 ERA (2.03 FIP) in 43.2 innings for the River Dogs after being the team’s fourth rounder last year. He spent three years in an SEC rotation with South Carolina. No surprise he manhandled Low-A.
• The Yankees have signed OF Teodoro Martinez out of the independent Frontier League and assigned him to High-A Tampa, according to Flammia. The 23-year-old had been in the Rangers’ system the last few years. He was hitting .277/.320/.404 in 12 games with the Rockford Aviators, and I’m guessing this is a “they need a warm body” move and not a “hey this guy might have some ability” move. OF Slade Heathcott and OF Ramon Flores are in MLB and a bunch of other outfielders were moved up as a result. Need someone to sit on the bench.

• C Austin Romine: 0-4
• DH Ben Gamel: 0-4, 3 K

Low-A Charleston (4-2 win over Augusta in 12 innings, walk-off style)

• SS Angel Aguilar: 1-5, 1 RBI, 1 SB — second straight day on the bench for SS Jorge Mateo, but he’s a speed guy and could have gotten banged up stealing a base
• CF Dustin Fowler: 1-5, 1 R
• RF Austin Aune: 2-5, 1 R, 1 HR, 2 RBI, 1 K — walk-off two-run dinger
• DH Alex Palma: 0-4, 1 K — he’s been pretty overmatched at this level so far
• RHP Jordan Foley: 6 IP, 3 H, 0 R, 0 ER, 3 BB, 5 K, 6/2 GB/FB — 59 of 86 pitches were strikes (69%)
• LHP Rony Bautista: 2.1 IP 2 H, 2 R, 2 ER, 2 BB, 3 K, 1 WP, 2/1 GB/FB — 26 of 47 pitches were strikes (55%)
• RHP Manolo Reyes: 2.2 IP, 3 H, 0 R, 0 ER, 1 BB, 4 K, 1 WP, 3/0 GB/FB — 26 of 40 pitches were strikes (65%) … allowed both inherited runners to score in the ninth to blow the lead
