Florida Complex League Yankees: W, 13-5 vs. FCL Blue Jays — faced Alek Manoah in his first minor league start since the Blue Jays demoted him to try to fix him

As former Yankees pitcher Brandon McCarthy noted on Twitter, Manoah may have been working on some specific things during this retooling phase while he’s all the way down in the Florida Coast League. Still, the sheer damage of those numbers on the erstwhile Blue Jays ace sure is something, and the reports on the ground weren’t promising.

Also, just for some more background, here’s some praise of the quality of prospects that the Yankees are currently using in Rookie ball, from Jarrett Seidler of Baseball Prospectus. They’re a pretty darn good bunch.
