Recent New York Yankees Player Thriving In Minor Leagues
It’s worth noting that a recent Yankees player (from the 2025 season) is thriving in the Minor Leagues.
Pablo Reyes (playing for the Triple-A affiliate of the Los Angeles Angels) is in the middle of a hot streak.

Reyes has not appeared in an MLB game this season.
He signed with the Angels after getting released from the Padres’ organization.
MLB.com wrote (on July 8): “Los Angeles Angels signed free agent OF Pablo Reyes to a minor league contract.”
With how well Reyes has played, it will be interesting to see he gets a chance with the Angels before the end of the 2026 season.
Last year, the 33-year-old appeared in 24 games for the Yankees.
In addition to the Yankees, Reyes has also had stops with the Pittsburgh Pirates, Milwaukee Brewers, Boston Red Sox and New York Mets over seven seasons at the MLB level.
He is batting .245 with 135 hits, eight home runs, 56 RBIs, 76 runs and 14 stolen bases in 257 career games.
