Yankees Sequence of the Week: Luis Gil (4/21)
After falling into a rut in the middle of April, the Yankees starting rotation has righted the ship in its last turn. Since the start of the series against the Royals, Cam Schlittler, Will Warren, Ryan Weathers, Luis Gil, and Max Fried all authored some of the best starts of their Yankees careers. After Fried’s […]

Can Cam Schlittler surpass the hype tonight?
The Yankees have stormed Fenway and taken their first series meeting with the Red Sox, and now they stand on the precipice of opening the season series up with a sweep. Their pitching has kept the Sox shut down thus far, tossing a shutout in the first game and allowing a single run in the […]
Yankees news: Players push for new uniforms
The Athletic | Brendan Kuty: ($) Yankees players are lobbying their organization to let them wear their batting practice jerseys as an alternate road jersey, a move which would break with the team’s tradition of utilizing only one home and one road jersey. No reason has yet been given publicly for the request, which would […]
Max Fried dominates Red Sox at Fenway Park to secure series victory
Despite giving him the richest contract for a left-handed pitcher in baseball history, the Yankees didn’t sign Max Fried to be an ace. They envisioned pairing him with 2023 Cy Young winner Gerrit Cole atop a formidable rotation, but expected to see them together as a 1-2 postseason punch for years to come. As Yankees […]
New York Yankees @ Boston Red Sox: Max Fried vs. Ranger Suarez
The Yankees have epitomized what it means to go through the ebbs and flows of a baseball season, even if we’re not even four weeks into the 2026 season. They started 7-1, lost 8 of their next 11, which included a five-game losing streak, and have now rebounded to win four in a row heading […]
Umpires using ABS to challenge players is a good thing for baseball
When the idea of the Automated Ball-Strike system was introduced, it was impossible to count the number of baseball fans who thought it would be a good idea. Every baseball fan has had to deal with their team getting robbed in a big moment by a bad call. Whether it was a strike well below […]
Munetaka Murakami can provide a blueprint for Spencer Jones
Picture this. A player with unfathomable power who obliterates every ball he makes contact with and a decent understanding of the strike zone. Picture that player also with a very steep bat path that creates a massive hole in his swing that makes them extremely prone for in-zone whiffs, to the point where they can […]
How Fernando Cruz became Aaron Boone’s fire extinguisher
Some relievers are easy to admire because of pure stuff. Fernando Cruz is easy to root for because every pitch he throws in pinstripes feels like the payoff to a baseball life that was never supposed to take him here. That feeling stems not only from the high-leverage situations he keeps being placed in, but […]
Yankees Rivalry Roundup: Blue Jays survive another Jeff Hoffman implosion
Welcome to the second edition of the revamped Rivalry Roundup! The Yankees were able to address one of their main rivals head-on last night, blanking the Red Sox behind a sterling effort from Luis Gil and a power display from Giancarlo Stanton. Even if it’s April 22nd, there’s never a bad time to see the […]
Yankees place Ryan Weathers on paternity list, recall Jake Bird
The Yankees made a quick shuffle today, placing starter Ryan Weathers on the paternity list and recalling Jake Bird from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre. Bird had been sent down to the minors after allowing three runs in an outing against the Angels, replaced first by Yerry De Lo Santos and then by Angel Chivilli. This will likely […]
Yankees Birthday of the Day: Jimmy Key
There are landmark moments in the histories of baseball teams that signal the shift in the organization’s trajectory. Years of poorly-assembled starting rotations squandered the primes of Don Mattingly, Dave Winfield and Rickey Henderson, contributing to a 17-year World Series drought and multiples seasons of playoff-less baseball in the Bronx. The 1990s brought a renewed […]
Austin Wells’ improved plate discipline deserves better results
New York Yankees catcher Austin Wells entered Tuesday’s series opener against the Red Sox with a disappointing .180/.344/.260 line, one home run, two RBI, and a 78 wRC+. For a player who posted a 107 wRC+ in 2024 and a 94 mark last year, it’s certainly a step back. By now, we all know that […]
Yankees prospects: Volpe, Domínguez, Lombard all go deep
Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders: W, 7-1 vs. Rochester Red Wings SS Anthony Volpe 2-4, HR, RBI, KLF Jasson Domínguez 3-4, 2 2B, HR, RBI — huge game from The Martian, and a glimpse the top of the order Yankees fans once dreamed of3B Max Schuemann 1-3, 2B, 2 K, SACCF Spencer Jones 1-2, 2B. 2 RBI, […]
Should the Yankees make Ben Rice their leadoff hitter?
Ben Rice’s playing time has been a topic of some consternation around these parts to the start the season. The 27-year-old has been some metrics the best hitter in baseball thus far, so it’s been frustrating to find him on the bench at times. But rather than ask the question of whether Rice should play […]
Yankees news: Cole, Rodón scheduled to start this week
MLB.com | Joe Vasile: The New York Yankees and the Hudson Valley Renegades announced yesterday afternoon that pitchers Gerrit Cole and Carlos Rodón will start for the Renegades on Thursday and Friday, respectively, as part of their rehab assignments. Cole will be making his second start, as he began his rehab assignment with the Double-A […]
Giancarlo Stanton shatters slump as Luis Gil stifles Sox in shutout
Boy, does it feel good to beat Boston. The Yankees got their heads right over the weekend in their home sweep of Kansas City and carried that momentum to Fenway Park, handling the scuffling Red Sox in the first rivalry meeting of 2026. Luis Gil had little trouble shutting down a brittle Boston offense, and […]
New York Yankees @ Boston Red Sox: Luis Gil vs. Connelly Early
The American League East has been a bit of a mess so far this year. The Yankees squandered a strong opening week, but the rest of the division has similarly alternated between dominance and disaster. Entering Tuesday night, everybody is within four games of .500. It’s a perfect time to sprinkle a little rivalry into […]
New Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders president/GM has fresh ideas for 2026 season
During their first homestand of the year, the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders enjoyed their largest Opening Week attendance since 2019. That was music to Shawn Reilly’s ears. With the Yankees’ Triple-A team back home at PNC Field for the next two weeks, the team’s new president and general manager hopes fans continue to show up to the […]
Aaron Judge and clutch first innings
On Sunday afternoon, Aaron Judge did something he had done 89 times previous — tying Mickey Mantle for the second-most such occasions in franchise history. A long, deep fly ball went out toward Monument Park, and Judge went deep in the first inning, giving the Yankees a lead they never looked back from. It was […]
Yankees At-Bat of the Week: Ryan McMahon (4/17)
The Yankees entered their recent series against the Royals needing a serious shift in momentum. They were 2-7 in their previous nine games — a stretch which saw them get one-hit by the Rays, fail to score for 17 straight innings, and surrender 13 home runs and 32 runs total in four games against the […]
Yankees Birthday of the Day: Joe McCarthy
The 1929 Yankees were riding high. Coming off back-to-back World Series sweeps and with the heart of Murderers’ Row still intact, a team which had been an afterthought for most of its history appeared to be cresting a wave. Then, tragedy struck. Beloved manager Miller Huggins, who’d been at the helm for the Yankees’ turnaround […]
Yankees Rivalry Roundup: Boston, Toronto, Baltimore win while Yanks idle
Editor’s note: Welcome to the slightly revamped Rivalry Roundup! The American League is a bit of a muddled mess right now, even by April standards, so we’re taking a slightly different approach until the picture gets at least a little more clear. We polled the Rivarly Roundup writers to determine two teams who would get […]
Yankees prospects: Week 4 minor league recap
The biggest story in the Yankees’ farm system this week was not about the prospects themselves, but rather the rehabbing major leaguers. Anthony Volpe and Gerrit Cole both kicked off likely lengthy rehab assignments in Double-A Somerset that brought increased attention. Outside of those two, it was a fairly unremarkable week, but there were still […]
New York Yankees vs. Boston Red Sox: Series Preview
The past two weeks have been adventurous for the Yankees since their 8-2 start to the season. A lengthy losing skid obliterated their fledgling division lead, then a perplexing four-game set with the Angels showed their greatest strengths and greatest flaws in equal measure. Consequently, it was a relief to watch the Bombers dispose of […]
