The minor league season is winding down, and the top six Yankees affiliates are in various stages of playoff contention. Two teams have already clinched playoff berths, while the other four clubs either lead their division or are within four games of a playoff spot. These teams all are looking to extend their seasons into September.
Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders (70-60, 1.5 game lead in division)
Yankees fans have been amazed as time after time players have arrived at the major league level and produced for the big league club. What has been equally impressive is that with all the players being pulled up to the major league roster, Scranton has led the International League’s North division for most of the season.
