Here’s a day-by-day look at how New York's AFL contingent is faring:

Oct. 26: Salt River 5, Surprise 1
Brandon Wagner and Donny Sands turned in a combined 0-for-7 performance and each struck out once as Surprise fell to Salt River, 5-1, in Saturday’s AFL championship game. Sands batted .204 with nine RBIs for Saguaros during the regular season, while Wagner finished with a .214 average and an AFL-best 21 RBIs.

Oct. 25: Glendale 5, Surprise 3
Donny Sands enters this offseason with a bit of momentum. Sands hit .204 in the Fall League, but he finished on a high note as he came through with a two-run single in his final at-bat of the season. Daniel Bies finished the AFL with a 3.97 ERA after spinning 1 1/3 scoreless frames Friday. Bies, who held opponents scoreless in six of his final seven outings, threw nine of his 15 pitches for strikes and gave up one hit.

Oct. 24: Surprise 10, Scottsdale 2
Making his final start for Surprise, Glen Otto tied a bow on his impressive AFL campaign by spinning four strong frames against Scottsdale. The 23-year-old right-hander went pitch-for-pitch with Scorpions starter Spencer Howard for the first three innings, with neither hurler allowing a hit, but scuffled in the subsequent frame. After yielding his first hit of the game (a double) with one out in the fourth, Otto issued a two-out walk and then fell behind 2-0 to Patrick Mazeika, who tagged his next pitch to right field for a two-run triple. Otto retired the next batter to complete his outing, finishing with six strikeouts and four walks on 69 pitches (39 strikes). Altogether, the former fifth-round pick (2017) recorded a 1.88 ERA with a .128 opponent average and 26/13 K/BB over 24 innings. 

Josh Stowers, Donny Sands and Brandon Wagner paced the Saguaros at the plate, combining for three hits, five walks and five runs. Stowers came through with a two-run single (102.6 mph exit velocity) during Surprise’s six-run fifth inning and finished 1-for-3 with two walks. Sands, who hit a double and also walked twice, and Wagner scored two runs apiece, finishing 1-for-3 and 2-for-4, respectively. Right-hander Aaron McGarity worked a scoreless sixth inning, retiring three straight batters following a leadoff single.

Oct. 23: Mesa 2, Surprise 0
Brandon Wagner recorded one of Surprise’s three hits Wednesday when he beat out an infield single to the right side in the seventh. Batting cleanup, Wagner finished the evening 1-for-3. Josh Stowers remained in a funk offensively, going 0-for-3. He last collected a hit on Oct. 9 and has gone 0-for-17 over his last seven games. Daniel Bies has made a habit of piling up strikeouts during the Fall League, but during his outing against Mesa, he utilized his defense to work around a two-out single and escape with a scoreless inning of work. The 6-foot-9 right-hander has allowed just four hits over his last six appearances.

Oct. 22: Scheduled off day for all Arizona Fall League teams.

Oct. 21: Mesa 4, Surprise 0
Josh Stowers is batting .127 for Surprise after an 0-for-3 performance on Monday. Aaron McGarity tossed a perfect eighth inning to record his eighth straight scoreless appearance out of the Saguaros’ bullpen. The 24-year-old righty hasn’t been scored upon since his Fall League debut on Sept. 18, and, overall, he’s pitched to a 0.87 ERA with 14 strikeouts in 10 1/3 innings (nine games).

Oct. 20: Salt River 2, Surprise 1
Brandon Wagner was one of two Saguaros batters to whiff three times on Sunday, racking up the trio of strikeouts in four hitless at-bats. Things have been a bit boom-or-bust for Wagner this fall, as he has multiple grand slams and 21 RBIs in 18 games, but he’s also batting just .206. Josh Stowers served as the designated hitter for Surprise Sunday and struck out twice as a part of four hitless trips to the dish. He’s batting just .135 this fall.

Oct. 19: Salt River 8, Surprise 1
Josh Stowers went 0-for-1 but reached base via a pair of walks -- the only player to reach base multiple times for Surprise on Saturday -- and Donny Sands recorded one of his team’s four hits in a 1-for-4 performance. They’re batting .146 and .188, respectively. Daniel Bies gave up two runs (one earned) on two hits and a walk in one inning to snap a streak of four straight scoreless appearances. He threw 12 of 21 pitches for strikes, fanning two batters.

Oct. 18: Surprise 3, Glendale 1
Glenn Otto was virtually untouchable for the majority of his start against Glendale, retiring the first 11 batters that he faced. The only blip on his radar came in the fifth when he yielded a pair of singles that produced a run, only his third allowed this fall and the first that came via means other than a home run. The right-hander finished with eight strikeouts, sitting consistently at 93-96 mph with his fastball. After having been converted to the starting rotation upon joining the Yankees out of Rice University, Otto appears to be a turning a corner in the Fall League, where he owns a 1.35 ERA across five starts. 

Aaron McGarity took over in the seventh and whiffed the first batter that he faced before coming back out for the eighth and adding two more strikeouts to his ledger. The 24-year-old right-hander claimed his first win of the fall when Surprise cranked out three runs behind him, as he lowered his ERA to 0.96 in the process. He has gone seven consecutive appearances without allowing a run. It was a quiet night offensively for the Yankees’ triumvirate of Brandon Wagner, Donny Sands and Josh Stowers, who went a combined 0-for-9 with five strikeouts and nine men left on base. Both Sands and Stowers drew a walk.

Oct. 15: Surprise 3, Peoria 0
Brandon Wagner is batting .216 for Surprise after an 0-for-4, two-strikeout game, though he still paces the Fall League with 19 RBIs. Catcher Donny Sands put the Saguaros on the board in the second inning with an RBI double and finished 2-for-3 with a walk and a run scored. Daniel Bies recorded a pair of strikeouts during a perfect inning out of Surprise’s bullpen. It was the 6-foot-9 right-hander’s fourth straight scoreless appearance after giving up at least one run in his first three outings.

Oct. 14: Surprise 1, Peoria 0
Josh Stowers got the start as the designated hitter for the Saguaros and went 0-for-1 with a hit-by-pitch before departing. He was plunked in the fifth, but was able to remain in the game, even swiping his fourth base of the fall. Aaron McGarity opened his appearance by drilling a batter, but rebounded to post a scoreless inning of work. He worked around a base hit to eventually escape the frame, lowering his ERA to 1.13 in the process. The 24-year-old has posted seven straight scoreless innings and hasn’t allowed a run since his Sept. 18 outing.

Oct. 13: Scheduled day off for all Arizona Fall League teams.
