Very recently, I wrote an article here talking about the opportunity presented to the Yankees in 2026, competing for the top spot in an American League that lacked standout clubs. Some of their potential biggest adversaries were dealing with more than their fair share of issues in the Blue Jays and Mariners. Since then, the […]
The Yankees bullpen has stabilized somewhat of late, posting a sub-1.00 ERA in the month of May. A lot of this is driven by a left-on-base rate of around 90-percent, which is likely to regress from its unsustainably high point. All the same, leads have felt safer than in the first few weeks of the […]
Texas Rangers lineup for May 7, 2026 against the New York Yankees: starting pitchers are MacKenzie Gore for the Rangers and Paul Blackburn for the Yankees. Texas plays a very early game in New York today. It is the final game of the road trip, and will determine whether the Rangers win or lose this […]
The Yankees broke their five-game winning streak on Wednesday, their offense finally getting stopped as Yankee Killer Nathan Eovaldi dominated them once again. Their last two losses both came at his hands, as he tossed seven shutout innings in their series in Texas before going eight strong with just an Aaron Judge solo shot blemishing […]
Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders: W, 9-7 (10) at Worcester Red Sox 3B George Lombard Jr. 1-3, 3 BB, KSS Anthony Volpe 0-6, K — had a nice Tuesday but an ugly follow-upCF Spencer Jones 1-5, 2B, BB, RBI, 2 KRF Yanquiel Fernández 4-5, 2B, 2 HR, 5 RBI, K — huge day for Yanquiel, and his […]

A few weeks ago upon the news of Angels franchise icon Garret Anderson passing away, John wrote a tribute to him, saluting him as one of the great Yankee Killers of recent vintage. Although David Ortiz was far more famous, Yankees pitchers were also quite flummoxed by having to pitch to Garret. Now today, we’re […]
A two-time World Series champion, “Old Tom” Zachary spent parts of three seasons in New York. In addition to playing for the Yankees, Zachary is tied to Yankees lore as the pitcher who gave up No. 60 to George Herman Ruth back in 1927. Being tied to the Babe is usually enough to keep you […]
SNY | Phillip Martinez: Some news broke late last night, with the Yankees scratching Ryan Weathers from this scheduled start this afternoon. Weathers was apparently dealing with a nasty stomach virus. “I pitched, then went home and pretty much threw my guts out for several hours,” the starter said. “I thought I just had food […]
Editor’s Note: (re-publishing this Aaron Judge Jedi bobblehead post today, to honor #MayThe4th. It originally ran in April of 2018, as the first Star Wars movie in 13 years was set to premiere) May the 4th be with you today. If you’re attending the opener of the New York Yankees‘ next home stand, then this Aaron […] The post The Aaron Judge Jedi Bobblehead You Didn’t Know You Needed appeared first on The Sports Bank .
There was reason to be optimistic heading into tonight. Will Warren has been outstanding early this season and the Yankee offense has been humming. Warren has been stingy with issuing walks and has kept the ball in the yard, while the bats have been posting crooked numbers on the regular. Conversely, there was a very […]
The Texas Rangers scored six runs while the New York Yankees scored one run. After much consternation over the last few days (weeks? months? years?) about the offense, the Rangers had a few ingredients going for them tonight that left us with a better taste in our mouths. For one, they had Nathan Eovaldi on […]
One night after taking down the Rangers and two-time Cy Young Award winner Jacob deGrom, the Yanks are at it again in the Bronx, with the chance to win their sixth consecutive series. It’s been a torrid start to the 2026 season, driven in large part by outstanding starting pitching. One of the hurlers who’s […]

Box Score The Brewers took control early and never looked back, cruising to a 6-2 win behind a four-run first inning on Wednesday afternoon. They will get a well-earned day off tomorrow before returning home to face the 25-11 Yankees, who currently hold the second-best record in baseball. Milwaukee did all of their damage in […]
The Yankees officially optioned Elmer Rodríguez to Triple-A after his start in last night’s game against the Rangers, with Carlos Rodón set to rejoin the rotation in the next week. Since Rodón won’t need to be activated until his start, the Yankees promoted Yerry de Los Santos in the interim. de Los Santos gives the […]
Top Yankees prospect Elmer Rodríguez had made his MLB debut last week, on Wednesday, against the Texas Rangers, and while he surrendered just two runs in four innings, he struggled with walks and command issues all game. He gave away four free passes and showed the nerves you would expect from a 22-year-old pitching under […]
If you had told me before the season started that one Yankees batter would have a wRC+ starting with 2 at the beginning of May, I would have immediately guessed Aaron Judge, since, you know, that’s what he did the past two years. Failing that, my next guess would have been Ryan McMahon, with the […]
Is there anything better than old-timey baseball nicknames? Today, another Hall of Fame-caliber nickname, “Poison” Ivy Paul Andrews, would have celebrated his 119th birthday. Born to a Walker County, Alabama coal mining family in the spring of 1907, Andrews’ father worked in the coal mines, as several of his siblings did, and for a time […]
Worcester: W, 7-6 (BOX SCORE) The WooSox enjoyed an early home run from Mickey Gasper, his fifth on the year, but the good feelings didn’t last for too long against the Rail Riders (Yankees AAA). As referenced earlier, the WooSox are going to be pre-cautiously switching out their pitchers to rest arms in case the […]
The good times kept rolling for the Yankees on Tuesday night, as they came from behind to beat Jacob deGrom on behalf of since-demoted rookie Elmer Rodríguez. They’ve won 15 of their last 17 games and would almost be running away with the AL East already if the Rays weren’t off to a scalding-hot start […]
When the Yankees announced that Anthony Volpe would not be added to the active roster when he was activated from the injured list, but instead optioned to Triple-A Scranton, manager Aaron Boone indicated that the team had not considered playing him anywhere but at shortstop. Speaking to the media less than 24 hours later, Boone […]
