Brandon Lockridge – Charleston Riverdogs (Class A)
Brandon Lockridge has been white-hot of late raising his average 81 points over the past month playing in Charleston, S.C., for the Yankees' Class A affiliate. Lockridge blasted his ninth home run of the season on Sunday extending his run scored streak to six games. The Pensacola, Fla., native is hitting .325 with 12 runs batted in over his last 10 games and has an impressive 21-game on-base streak entering the week (June 3). The fifth-rounder's strike zone discipline seems to be the key to his success as he's posted a .391 average and a 1.320 OPS when ahead in the count.

Matt Sanders – Modesto Nuts (Class A+)
Riding a five-game hitting streak, Matt Sanders has upped his average to .239 while playing for the Mariners Advanced Class A squad in Modesto.

The Nuts open a seven-game road trip on Tuesday before closing out the first half of the season with a five-game homestand.
GRANDMA!

C.J. Carter – Clinton Lumberkings (Class A)

Carter posted a 0.61 ERA in May striking out 19 batters in 14.2 innings for Miami's Class A affiliate. Against right-handers, Carter has been especially tough posting a .196 average against and a 0.95 WHIP.

Daren Osby – Joliet Slammers (IND)
Daren Osby continues to pitch well for Joliet (Frontier League). The right-hander has posted a 2.07 ERA and struck out 14 batters in 17.1 innings over his first three starts of the season. In his last outing on May 31, Osby fanned six in six innings, but didn't factor into the decision on the mound.
Issac Sanchez comes in for Darren Osby for the bottom of the 7th.
