ZEROS WAITING TO HAPPEN- Scranton/Wilkes-Barre is 7-0 this season when Allan Winans starts. The right-hander lowered his ERA to 0.23 with 5.2 shutout innings Friday. Winans gets the ball on Wednesday in game two of the Syracuse set.

NEW GUY- The Yankees claimed infielder CJ Alexander off waivers from the A's on Sunday and optioned him to Scranton/Wilkes-Barre. Alexander hit .252 for Las Vegas over 42 games with 10 home runs and 33 runs batted in and appeared in six games for the A's going 3-for-17. He was initially selected by the Atlanta Braves in the 20th round of the 2018 First-Year Player Draft. Entering 2025, Alexander carried a .254 career MiLB average over 482 games with 75 home runs. Alexander reported to the RailRiders on Tuesday.

FIRST ONE- Clayton Beeter recorded his first career save on Tuesday. The right-hander had made 108 career appearances between the Majors and Minors, including 83 starts. It was Scranton/Wilkes-Barre's fourth this month after recording five over the first two-plus months of the season.

LEIBRANDT LEAVES- Brandon Leibrandt was released from his Minor League contract by the Yankees on Tuesday so he could sign a contract to play in Taiwan. The left-hander went 1-0 with a 2.85 ERA over ten games for the RailRiders, striking out 37 and walking 14 over 41 innings of work.

DEVELOPING STORY- Jake Gatewood was placed on the Development List on Tuesday. Gatewood is hitting .157 over 28 games for the RailRiders this season with one home run and eight batted in.
