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 […]
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 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 […]
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 […]
Often, we hear about those who contributed to the New York Yankees’ best years in franchise history. Those names are etched not just on the walls of Yankee Stadium, but also on some in Cooperstown through the Baseball Hall of Fame and, of course, in the videos of their work in the biggest moments. But […]
Dylan Coleman made his season debut with the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders on April 24th against the Rochester Red Wings at PNC Field in northeastern Pennsylvania. It was more than a debut, however — it was also a comeback. The 29-year-old relief pitcher stepped away from the game after being released early last season by the Baltimore […]
Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders: W, 9-6 vs. Buffalo Bisons LF Spencer Jones 3-5, 2 HR, 4 RBI, 2 R, 2 K — went deep in the first to start the comeback, then in the eighth to finish itRF Yanquiel Fernández 0-5SS Paul DeJong 0-3, 1 R, 2 BB, 1 KDH Seth Brown 2-5, 1 HR, 2 […]
The Yankees are riding high out in the Lone Star State, securing another series win with a dominant Cam Schlittler start and homers from Austin Wells and Aaron Judge. They’ll go for the sweep again after failing to secure it in Houston, but they’ve added an even more interesting detail to today’s finale: their No. […]
NY Daily News | Gary Phillips: The Yankees are promoting 22-year-old right-hander Elmer Rodríguez to make his MLB debut on Wednesday against the Texas Rangers. It’s a well-deserved call-up, as he was sporting a brilliant 1.27 ERA in 21.1 Triple-A innings, with seven walks and 20 strikeouts. Rodríguez, as described by Triple-A bullpen coach Peter […]
So far this year the Yankees have regularly teetered on a knife’s edge from game to game. They typically do enough to win a game but routinely give themselves enough opportunities to give it away. The late innings following a quotidian quality start from Cam Schlittler were typically dicey for the Yankee bullpen, but a […]
The Yankees got off to a strong start in the Lone Star State last night, dispatching the Rangers 4-2 behind a trio of home runs and another Max Fried quality start. Tonight, one of the league’s most precocious fireballers will face a living legend. Cam Schlittler takes aim at Jacob deGrom as the Bombers seek […]
We don’t know exactly when, but Anthony Volpe is nearing a return to the Yankees. Once the team ends his rehab assignment and brings him back to the big leagues, the expectation is that Volpe will resume his duties as the starting shortstop or, at the very least, play the majority of games there going […]
I’m writing this before the Yankees take on the Rangers Monday night, so it’s subject to change, but at this moment Jazz Chisholm Jr. is the worst player in baseball when it comes to the ABS challenge system. His 14 percent success rate is the lowest in the sport, and this weekend against the Astros […]
When the Yankees learned that Anthony Volpe had been playing through much of 2025 with a partially torn labrum in his left shoulder and would miss the start of the season while rehabbing from surgery, it’s a good thing they had his readymade replacement on the big league roster. Thanks to a shrewd piece of […]
The late 1950s were among the best of times in the rich history of the New York Yankees. While the likes of Mickey Mantle, Yogi Berra, and Whitey Ford made the headlines, those years featured deep rosters for the Bombers, including exemplary depth and talent on the mound. Among that unsung crowd during that time, […]
In a bit of surprising news, the Yankees will be calling up one of their top pitching prospects, Elmer Rodríguez, to make a spot start this week. Aaron Boone confirmed today that Rodríguez would start tomorrow afternoon’s series finale with the Rangers. Will Warren was originally scheduled to start, but will instead see his outing […]
A light Monday slate, along with some of the Yanks’ rivals facing each other, made for a quiet night. The good news about these teams playing each other is that someone has to lose. The bad news is someone has to win. Monday, for example, Boston and Tampa took down Toronto and Cleveland, respectively. With […]
Last week, Andrew put out a post on our feed asking for your hot takes, and you all delivered. With the Yankees rolling and on their way to another competitive season, there’s plenty of things to get ambitious about, so let’s see what’s got you all fired up after a month or so of play. […]
At some point in the near future — either later this week or early next week — Anthony Volpe will be activated from the injured list to make his season debut after starting the year on the injured list due to offseason shoulder surgery. Due both to Volpe’s struggles last season and José Caballero’s strong […]
Another week of Yankees minor league baseball is in the books, and the big stories this week were not about the prospects themselves. Gerrit Cole, Carlos Rodón, and Anthony Volpe are continuing rehab assignments as they near their season debuts for the Yankees, while the RailRiders are getting contributions from multiple prospects who could be […]
By any account, the Yankees’ superlative play as of late has made them the favorites in an AL East division that looked hyper-competitive coming into the year. The Rays are close in New York’s rearview mirror, but the heavy hitters that everyone expected to compete with the Yankees in the division this year, the Orioles, […]
MLB Trade Rumors | Anthony Franco: The Giancarlo Stanton Calf Saga is essentially at the conclusion that always seemed most likely. The Yankees had the roster flexibility to wait and see how Stanton’s tight calf responded to a couple days of rest after he was pulled from their game on Friday in Houston, but they […]
While the Yankees’ Monday night game in Texas was never a blowout, much of it felt like it was trending towards a fairly comfortable Bombers win. Ben Rice and Aaron Judge continued to be stalwarts in the Yankees’ lineup, each going deep to help build up a lead. Meanwhile on the mound, starter Max Fried […]
Sunday saw the Yankees’ eight-game winning streak snapped, as they fell behind the Astros and couldn’t make up the deficit. Despite that loss, they have been on quite the roll lately, and a new day means a new game and a chance to start a new winning streak. Tonight, they’re still in Texas, but they’ve […]
The Yankees ran out their longest win streak of the season this past week, getting eight in a row before dropping the final game of their set with Houston on Sunday. Thus far the team’s performance has come in three waves, with two stretches of dominant play sandwiching a terrible stretch where they couldn’t buy […]
