Latest news and updates about the Yankees
Once Max Fried hit the IL with an elbow issue last week, the Yankees were in a bit of an awkward spot. They had a former Cy Young award winner nearing the very end of a lengthy rehab process, yet it seemed like he might not be quite ready to fill in now that his […]
We’d probably all like to forget the Yankees’ soul-crushing loss on Sunday against the Mets. That being said, there were several moments that can be remembered in a positive light, including Anthony Volpe’s first hit of the 2026 campaign — a two-out double off Freddy Peralta in the second inning. Volpe arguably had a pair […]
Welcome back to another week of the Yankees’ farm report. This week, we saw Gerrit Cole inch closer to his big league return while flashing prime velocity, the Somerset offense continued to pound opponents into submission, and as well as some great individual pitching performances up and down the system. Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders Record: 23-20, […]
Yankees dynasties are usually remembered through their biggest stars. In the 1950s New York featured the likes of Mickey Mantle, Yogi Berra, Whitey Ford, and Joe DiMaggio. Lost underneath all those legends, however, are the players who quietly held everything together year after year, like Gilbert “Gil” McDougald. The 1951 Rookie of the Year winner, […]
You can’t really call a game in mid-May with the team still in comfortable playoff position and only two games behind the leaders a “must win,” but for vibes reasons, the Yankees sure could’ve used a victory on Monday. They got one, but it was quite the nerve-wracker. For one, they had to come from […]
Let’s dial back to Sunday. With the caveat that I’m surprised Sean Manaea is still on an MLB roster, Aaron Boone hit all the right buttons. Pinch-hitter Paul Goldschmidt gets dotted to load the bases with one out, Max Schuemann comes into run for him. Anthony Volpe has his big two-run single, and Boone goes […]
Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders: Offday Double-A Somerset Patriots: Offday High-A Hudson Valley Renegades: Offday Low-A Tampa Tarpons: Offday Florida Complex League Yankees: L, 4-8 at FCL Blue Jays 3B Richard Matic 3-4, BB, K — no extra-base hits for FCL Yanks today, but Matic did get three singlesLF Wilberson De Pena 1-5, K, GIDP, SBC Queni […]
The Yankees’ 2-7 road trip left a sour taste in all our mouths, the club following up a stellar stretch of play with a frustrating week and a half that saw a number of bullpen blowups and close losses. New York now trails the Rays by three games in the AL East despite pacing the […]
MLB.com | Bryan Hoch: In Gerrit Cole’s most recent rehab outing, the former Cy Young winner touched 99.6 mph on the gun, velo that would impress even among the best in MLB. Given that pitch-level success, it’s been debated within the Yankee org whether it would be better to let Cole have one more rehab […]
Who would have thought that when Miguel Andujar scored a run in the first on a solo homer, he’d be scoring the only one in this game as the Padres won it 1-0? Seldom throughout the course of the 2026 season did Yoshinobu Yamamoto find an opponent capable and effective in going toe-to-toe with him […]
Jays 6 Yankees 7 The Jays turned in one inning. Going into the seventh, the Jays were up 5-3. Adam Macko is in and gets the first two outs of the inning, but, with Aaron Judge coming up, John Schneider goes with a right-hander, Yariel Rodriguez. Understandable, Judge is much better vs lefties. And I […]
The Yankees desperately needed something positive Monday night and, the offense delivered. After a brutal 2-7 road trip that ended with another frustrating series loss in Queens, the Yankees returned to the Bronx looking for any sign of life. Behind a huge night from Paul Goldschmidt, timely power from Cody Bellinger and Jazz Chisholm Jr., […]
We get the first of four against the Yankees today. There were little bits of Jays news this afternoon: Tonight’s lineup is……interesting: Today’s Lineups BLUE JAYS YANKEES George Springer – DH Paul Goldschmidt – 1B Vladimir Guerrero – 1B Ben Rice – DH Kazuma Okamoto – 3B Aaron Judge – RF Lenyn Sosa – 2B […]
The Yankees return to the Bronx on Monday night looking to stop a frustrating stretch after dropping a series to a last-place team over the weekend in Queens. Despite flashes of offense during the Subway Series, the Yankees once again struggled to put games away. Now, with a four-game series against the reigning American League […]
While the Yankees’ bullpen wasn’t a real problem statistically over the first several weeks of the season, its weakness and relative lack of depth have reared their ugly head over the last week or two, blowing multiple inherited leads during a 2-7 road trip that saw the Yanks lose ground to the Rays in the […]
The upswing of the past few weeks has turned to a harsh downswing. The Yankees went on a terrible road trip last week, getting swept by the Brewers before losing two of three to both the Orioles and Mets — the first was an understandable blip on the radar, but the latter two are teams […]
Earlier this afternoon, former Yankee third baseman Gio Urshela took to Instagram to announce his retirement. Originally signed by Cleveland as an international amateur free agent in 2008, the Colombia native spent parts of ten seasons in the Major Leagues, posting a .270/.314/.407 slash line (97 OPS+) with 73 home runs and 147 doubles with […]
After a ten-year major league career with a lifetime average of .270, versatile infielder Gio Urshela has called it quits. He has announced his retirement at the age of 33. Classy veteran infielder Gio Urshela, who played parts of 10 seasons, announces his retirement — Bob Nightengale (@BNightengale) May 18, 2026 Urshela last played for the Athletics in Sacramento last season, posting a .238 average in 197 plate appearances. He became a household name during his three seasons as a regula...
At the start of the 1929 season, the New York Yankees and Cleveland Indians innovated baseball, starting the season with numbers on the back of their players jerseys for easy identification. While numbers had been experimented with prior to the season, they were mostly smaller and located on the arms, meant primarily for umpires and […]
The Jays start a four-game series with the Yankees at Yankee Stadium tonight. Tonight it is Patrick Corbin (1-1, 3,93) vs. Ryan Weathers (2-2, 3.00). Tuesday: Dylan Cease (3-1, 2.41) vs. Will Warren (5-1, 3.42). Wednesday: Trey Yesavage (1-1, 1.40) vs. Cam Schlittler (6-1, 1.35) Thursday: Bullpen Day, likely with Spencer Myles (1-0, 2.55) doing […]
Reggie Jackson arrived at Yankee Stadium on October 18, 1977 with a chip on his shoulder. In part, it was because that was his natural state. But he had something in particular to prove that day. Despite winning a trio of championships — and the 1973 World Series MVP — in Oakland, he had yet […]
I’m on double duty tonight for Rivalry Roundup and our Today on Pinstripe Alley/daily question post, so since I generally try to throw some very quick thoughts on what the Yankees did as well in these, you’ll excuse me for double-dipping in the next two paragraphs. What an awful road trip. The Yankees got swept […]
This time a week ago, all anyone could really do was dread the idea of the Orioles playing more games against the Yankees. After every game of the previous four-game set went embarrassingly badly for the O’s, another Yankees series could have been the thing that spins this season out of control. In this week’s […]
The Yankees got run out of Queens this weekend, dropping back-to-back contests to the Mets—the latter in particularly ignominious fashion—to lose the Subway Series and their third straight series overall. Adding to their woes is the Rays’ continued success, which leaves them three games back in the divisional road. Now seems like a less-than-ideal time […]
Meet the Mets Every good Mets season needs That Game. You know, the one that you look back on in a year or 20 and say “remember that game?” Perhaps Sunday afternoon was That Game for the 2026 New York Mets. Coming against the Yankees, that’s just a bonus. Choose your recap: Amazin’ Avenue, Faith […]
