Yankees news: Jazz Chisholm Jr. leaves Thursday’s game with groin injury
MLB.com | Bryan Hoch: In case you missed last night’s game, Yankees’ second baseman Jazz Chisholm Jr. was forced to exit it due to a, um, likely quite painful injury. Chisholm fouled a ball off the ground that came right back up and hit him right in the groin. He remained on the ground in […]
Andrew Benintendi puts away Yankees as White Sox salvage series finale
It’s never fun when a former Yankee comes back and punishes you in the Bronx, even if there wasn’t bad blood or anything that would cause a sort of “revenge game”. Andrew Benintendi opened this series with a solo shot with a homer off Gerrit Cole on Tuesday, but started tonight’s game on the bench […]
New York Yankees vs. Chicago White Sox: Ryan Weathers vs. Bryan Hudson
In the last three weeks, the Yankees have gained nine games on the rival Tampa Bay Rays, going from 5.5 games back to a 3.5-game lead atop the AL East. Despite the overwhelming narrative of the June Swoon, the Yankees are 9-4 on the month, while maneuvering a schedule that has included three series against […]
Outlining Spencer Jones’ path to success in 2026
On Tuesday night, with the Yankees down early against a surprising White Sox squad, Spencer Jones turned on an inside cutter and hit a laser of a home run into the second deck in right field. The blast, his second of the season and first career homer in the Bronx, was a definite boost for […]
The case for Jasson Domínguez, leadoff hitter
Ever since Giancarlo Stanton went down with an injury and Paul Goldschmidt found himself in the starting lineup pretty much every day, the Yankees have had a fairly consistent strategy atop the order. Against right-handed pitchers, Trent Grisham would lead off, and against southpaws, Goldschmidt would. In fact, between Stanton’s injury back on April 24th […]
What we’ve learned from Gerrit Cole’s first five starts of 2026
Choo-choo, the Cole train has been back on the rails now for five big league starts. It might be a small sample size, but let’s take a journey down the tracks and look at how the ace compares to the last time we saw him on the mound back in 2024. Many have already written […]
Yankees Birthday of the Day: Félix Heredia
Not everything is sunshine and rainbows under the bright lights of the Major League stadium. Some are able to cherish it and milk it for all it offers, making an impact on fan bases throughout their time in a big-league uniform. But others can lose their way and fall by the wayside. When that happens […]
Yankees Rivalry Roundup: Rays swept by Dodgers, Yanks extend division lead
For the second straight night, the Yankees rode their offense to a fairly straight-forward win over the White Sox. Led by hits from all nine starters and home runs from Cody Bellinger, Paul Goldschmidt, and Jazz Chisholm Jr., the Yankees cracked double digits as they put up another 10 runs on the White Sox. Carlos […]
A brand-new MVP ballot hits the AL
I am loathe to say that something within the world of baseball is impossible for Aaron Judge. However, he’ll probably play right around 100 games this season if his IL-reduced projections are correct, and even he is not good enough to merit a fourth MVP award while missing that many games. Them’s the breaks. Those […]
Yankees prospects: Martin’s three-RBI day leads Somerset to extra-inning win
Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders: Postponed due to rain, doubleheader scheduled for Friday Double-A Somerset Patriots: W, 5-4 (10) at Portland Sea Dogs LF Jackson Castillo 1-4, 1 R, 1 BB, 2 K, 1 SBCF Garrett Martin 2-4, 1 HR, 1 2B, 3 RBI, 1 R, 1 BB — solo shot in the fourth, two-run double in […]
Has David Bednar shaken off his early struggles?
Things are going well for the Yankees right now, all things considered. Even though the team is without their top hitter in Aaron Judge and one of their top pitchers in Max Fried, alongside a few other regulars in the lineup that could really be helping them out. Despite this, they’re sitting in first place […]
Yankees news: Boone not ready to start Jones against lefties
NY Daily News | Gary Phillips: Since being called up again on June 5th, outfielder Spencer Jones has given the Yankees a strong .318/.423/.636 line with a 193 wRC+ in 26 plate appearances. His playing time against lefties, however, has been fairly limited. It’s understandable, since he struggled to the tune of a .663 OPS […]
Yankees’ power parade flattens White Sox once again
The champs are in the building. That’s one heck of a motivator. Before Wednesday night’s game at Yankee Stadium, Jalen Brunson and Josh Hart came to the mound to throw ceremonial first pitches. The duo will join the rest of their Knicks teammates at the Canyon of Heroes, a spot the Yankees have populated frequently […]
New York Yankees vs. Chicago White Sox: Carlos Rodón vs. Anthony Kay
The Yankees emphatically grew their lead in the AL East last night by thrashing the up-and-coming White Sox 12-2 at the Stadium—while the Rays dropped another contest to the Dodgers over on the West Coast. It was about as good of a night as you could hope for the Bombers to start their homestand. To […]
How have the Yankees and White Sox never met in the playoffs?
The New York Yankees’ greatness can be measured and appreciated in many different stats; one of them is that at some point or another, they’ve played at least one playoff series against 26 of the other 29 active teams in Major League Baseball, eye-popping even for a team with 27 World Series titles and 41 […]
Cody Bellinger’s still taking his walks
About a month ago, I wrote about Cody Bellinger’s vastly improved walk rate. At the time, his season wRC+ stood at a robust 141, fueled by a career-high 15.2-percent walk rate. Since then, Bellinger’s numbers have slipped, but only slightly. His walk rate is a still stellar 13.5 percent, which would still be his highest […]
Yankees At-Bat of the Week: Ben Rice (6/14)
The Rogers Centre has proven to be a house of horrors for the Yankees over the last calendar year. In dropping the recent series opener in Toronto, the Yankees had lost nine of their last ten games north of the border including a pair of thumpings in the first two games of the 2025 ALDS. […]
Yankees Birthday of the Day: Víctor Mata
Few people get the chance to spend more than 30 years working for the same organization. Those who do usually earn a reputation for being reliable, productive, and adaptable enough to survive a constantly changing workplace. Víctor Mata accomplished exactly that with the New York Yankees, first as a player, then as a coach, and […]
Yankees Rivalry Roundup: Ohtani’s solo shot dooms Rays in Dodgers shutout
The Yankees took care of business in the opener of their homestand against the Chicago White Sox, getting six solid innings from Gerrit Cole and amassing 12 runs thanks to homers from Spencer Jones, Ben Rice, Paul Goldschmidt, and José Caballero. The win gave them the opportunity to push their lead even further in the […]
Unpacking Ryan Yarbrough’s first three months
As the Yankees’ bullpen has come under fire over the past few months and emerged as arguably the team’s biggest weakness*, they have continued to carry both Paul Blackburn and Ryan Yarbrough — two pitchers who have spent most of their career as starters (or, well, in Yarbrough’s case, starter-adjacent, thanks to the Rays frequently […]
Yankees prospects: George Lombard Jr. injures hand on defense
Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders: W, 3-1 at Columbus Clippers SS George Lombard Jr. 1-1, 2B, BB, picked off — left the game after an awkward play in the field where his hand came right into the runner as he was stealing second, super unfortunate LF Kenedy Corona 1-2, RBI, SFC Austin Wells 0-3, BB, K — first […]
What would you consider a successful rookie year for Spencer Jones?
The White Sox deserve a lot of credit for already exceeding expectations this year, fresh off a 102-loss season in 2025 and of course the modern record 121-loss 2024. They’re neck and neck with the Guardians atop the AL Central, and a Wild Card spot is possible as well given how light the American League […]
Yankees news: Injury updates and painful prospect news
MLB.com | Bryan Hoch: I guess the good news is that Austin Wells began a rehab stint on Tuesday night at Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre. Now. Buckle in. Because that’s it for good news on the injury front. Trent Grisham will be out “a few weeks” due to his hamstring strain. There had initially been a vague […]
Yankees explode on one of game’s best, beat White Sox by 10
I recapped the Yankees’ incredible 13-run inning against Sacramento, and I was tapped for tonight’s blowout win as well. Should I recap a third blowout, that’s a trend and I’ll be asking my editors for a raise, since clearly I’m having influence here. The Yankees were down 1-0 three batters into the game, but that […]
New York Yankees vs. Chicago White Sox: Gerrit Cole vs. Davis Martin
You gotta salivate over games like this. The Yankees are back home after a successful 5-1 road trip, claiming sole possession of first place in the AL East along the way. Gerrit Cole has looked strong in his return from Tommy John surgery, and the increasingly-wily veteran will go up against one of the game’s […]
