Latest news and updates about the Yankees
Anthony Volpe’s return from shoulder surgery will probably be judged in extremes. If he comes back looking like the polished two-way shortstop Yankees fans once imagined, every line drive, diving stop, and stolen base will reignite the belief that a true breakout might finally be here. If the offensive line remains parked where it has […]
April is just about over, which means it’s time for our first GM approval poll of the 2026 regular season. We’ve learned several things through the first month of games. The American League could be an absolute dogpile with just the Yankees and Rays better than one game over .500, while across the league managers’ […]
The Yankees will end the first month of the season with a modest 1.5-game lead on the American League’s best record. Both the Yanks and the Rays—who are right behind them—are off today, so New York already knows that May will begin with them in front by a game and a half in both the […]
Some baseball nicknames are exaggerations. For George “Jumbo” Brown, his was more of a scouting report. Jumbo Brown was listed at 6-foot-4 and 300 pounds, making him one of the largest players of his era and a pitcher whose size alone guaranteed he would be remembered. Long before modern strength programs, nutrition plans, and radar […]
The big news in Yankee world on Wendesday was the MLB debut of Elmer Rodríguez. The pitcher is ranked as one of the top prospects in the Yankees’ organization and is one of just a handful of recent Yankees’ pitchers to debut at age 22 or younger. Well, the Yankees ended up losing on Wednesday, […]
Arguably the Phillies’ biggest weakness in the start to a season that’s been full of them is left-handed pitching. As a team, they’re dead last in batting average (.180), OPS (.567), and wRC+ (61) against lefties. They have yet to win a game against a non-opener left-handed starting pitcher. Clearly, the Phillies need all the […]
Rangers 3, Yankees 0
The Yankees picked up their fourth consecutive series win, taking the first two games from the Rangers at Globe Life Field. The offense may have gotten on the plane back to New York early as they got shut out by Nathan Eovaldi in the series finale, but they can still be proud of a 7-2 […]
Triple-A: Syracuse Mets (14-13) SYRACUSE, LEHIGH VALLEY Game postponed due to rain; will be made up on April 30 as part of a single-admission doubleheader. Double-A: Binghamton Rumble Ponies (8—15) Game 1: NEW HAMPSHIRE 8, BINGHAMTON 2 (BOX) You’ll notice a theme in last night’s games: poor offense and poorer pitching. Will Watson got lit […]

It would have been extremely nice to finsh an 8-1 road trip with another sweep, but mean ol’ pal Nathan Eovaldi proved to be the force that stopped the Yankees in their tracks. The tenacious foe shut New York out through seven as Texas salvaged the final game of their series, outdueling the debuting Elmer […]
MLB.com | Bryan Hoch: Jasson Domínguez took a pitch off his left elbow Wednesday afternoon and left the game shortly after. X-rays taken at the stadium were inconclusive so the Yankees are sending Jasson for a CT scan. For his part, he doesn’t sound too concerned, publicly at least. When asked, Domínguez commented, “As of […]
MLB debuts aren’t always sunshine and rainbows, and expectations should always be tempered when a young player is suddenly donning a major league uniform. Cam Schlittler’s electric debut last season is a rarity, not an expectation. Elmer Rodríguez held the Texas Rangers off the scoreboard for the first four innings, but his inability to throw […]
The Texas Rangers scored three runs while the New York Yankees scored zero runs. Usually an MLB debut goes one of two ways for a starting pitcher. Either the nerves get to them and they’re sent to the showers early with a massive ERA that they have the rest of their career to shave down […]
There haven’t been a whole bunch of health issues with the Yankees this season, but the last few days haven’t been so kind. Jasson Domínguez, playing in just his third game of the season after being recalled to replace the injured Giancarlo Stanton as the team’s primary DH, was removed from Wednesday’s game against the […]
It’s past vs. the future this afternoon in Arlington, as the Yankees go for a three-game sweep of the Texas Rangers in a Wednesday matinee on the backs of a highly-touted prospect making his MLB debut against a grizzled veteran who once donned the pinstripes as a youngster. Elmer Rodríguez is getting an audition these […]

As Gerrit Cole and Carlos Rodón work their ways back from the IL, the Yankees are likely to have an influx of starting pitching soon. Still, injury and ineffectiveness can derail the best laid plans. That was thrown into stark relief this week, with Luis Gil demoted after another disappointing start that raised his ERA […]
Texas Rangers lineup for April 29, 2026 against the New York Yankees: starting pitchers are Nathan Eovaldi for the Rangers and Elmer Rodriguez for the Yankees. It is the final game of this series, and the final game of April. Elmer Rodriguez, a consensus top 100 prospect who has a 1.27 ER in 21 innings […]
Tenacious pitching was the star of the show last night in Arlington, with a great deal of excellent defense from both sides, as well. Oh, and Lady Luck too. Plenty of plays come down to skill, but sometimes, fortune just has to favor you, too. To wit, Fernando Cruz could practice this throw all day […]
The New York Yankees are re-arranging their rotation after optioning the struggling Luis Gil, pushing Will Warren back to later in the week and calling up Elmer Rodríguez to make his MLB debut against the Texas Rangers this afternoon. Rodríguez is a consensus top 100 prospect in the league and a top-three prospect in the […]
The Yankees were set for a bit of a roster crunch this week, one that had fans wondering exactly how the club would piece together the puzzle. Well, we have part of the answer now, as this morning the Yankees announced that they had designated outfielder Randal Grichuk for assignment to clear a spot on […]
Morning, all! A video of a pair of Yankees fans getting punched in the face at Globe Life Field has gone viral, with the Rangers saying the participants were kicked out of the stadium but declining to comment if they received a long term ban. Wyatt Langford is continuing to progress in his return from […]
Late April is, in many ways, one of the most fun times to look at stats. Now that the season is a month old and can officially be considered “in full swing,” we’ve got just enough data that we have a true representative sample to begin analyzing, but not so much that weird beginning-of-season quirks […]
Yankees 3, Rangers 2
