Yankees Sequence of the Week: Carlos Rodón (9/22)
The Yankees were officially eliminated from the AL East title race by the Rays’ win in the second game of the doubleheader on Tuesday. They managed to temporarily stave off elimination thanks to a dominant performance by Carlos Rodón in the first game of the day’s twin billing. With eight scoreless innings, he equalled his […]
Yankees Birthday of the Day: Eric Soderholm
A New Yorker by birth, Eric Soderholm was a right-handed third baseman who played nine seasons in the majors. Spending his final season in pinstripes, Soderholm’s calm and thoughtful personality was not indicative of the state of the team at the time, as George Steinbrenner was at the height of his rule and the other […]
Even without Aaron Judge, the Yankees can still be class of the AL
Over the past two seasons, Carlos Rodón has been one of the best pitchers in baseball. After winning 18 games and finishing sixth in Cy Young voting in an All-Star 2025, he’s been even better when healthy this year, posting a 2.67 ERA that would be fourth-best in the AL if he had enough innings […]
Yankees Rivalry Roundup: Blue Jays eliminated after doubleheader sweep
The Yankees handled Tampa Bay for the second time in as many days, blowing them out 9-2 behind a pair of Ben Rice home runs as well as a Ryan McMahon grand slam. Of course, there was another game played in between that didn’t go New York’s way, but overall they’ve had a solid series […]
Should the Yankees activate a recovering Aaron Judge in the playoffs?
I do feel a little bad for Ben Rice and Ryan McMahon. Yes, Tuesday’s nightcap rendered yesterday’s Yankees/Rays game largely irrelevant, but these guys are still playing for pride out there. Rice zoomed into a tie for the American League lead in homers, joining a trio of others at 41, and McMahon showed signs of […]
Yankees news: Aaron Judge planning Wild Card Series return
ESPN | Jorge Castillo: From the man himself! Aaron Judge spoke on the record with ESPN ahead of last night’s game and said he intends to be in the lineup for next week’s Wild Card Series, and in the postgame, he sounded displeased with manager Aaron Boone describing his calf strain as “moderate.” For whatever […]
Homer-happy Yankees sting Rays in blowout win
Scoring the bulk of their runs early on, the Yankees out-slugged the Rays in a 9-2 win, one that helped Gerrit Cole move above .500 with his tenth win of the season. However outdated that stat is to evaluate an individual performance, Cole certainly appreciates making it eight of eight winning seasons since leaving the […]
Yankees front office makes an appearance on ‘Survivor’
If you decide to wander your eyes during a potential lull in Wednesday night’s matchup against the Rays, or if you want to kill some time waiting for the Yankees to appear in the upcoming Wild Card Series, you might find a fun surprise if you change the channel to CBS. Yankees Assistant Director of […]
New York Yankees vs. Tampa Bay Rays: Gerrit Cole vs. Mason Englert
This late in the season and with no team goal to strive for other than to gain positive momentum heading into the postseason, it’s about the little things for these two division rivals. For this particular Wednesday matchup, the biggest little thing is to follow Gerrit Cole’s work on the mound — especially in how […]
An early look at the Yankees postseason roster: Who makes the cut?
The 2026 MLB postseason schedule is just about locked in, and it’s time to take a deeper dive into the Yankees’ current roster to determine who will make the cut to kick things off. The Rays clinched the AL East after defeating the Yankees in the second game of Tuesday’s doubleheader, which means the Yankees […]
Who is entitled to privacy?
Aaron Judge will not play in the Wild Card Series next week. The Yankees spent a good chunk of Monday laying cloud cover for the announcement that was all but confirmed Tuesday morning. Aaron Boone told us the superstar has a moderate grade — which is not a medical term — strain of his calf, […]
Yankees Birthday of the Day: Joba Chamberlain
The legend starts with the name. Born Justin Louis Heath, now legally Joba Chamberlain, Joba actually was picked up and assigned to him by his father after a cousin struggled to say the name of a different relative. Chamberlain’s father was born on and grew up on the Winnebago Reservation, giving him access to the […]
Yankees Rivalry Roundup: Guardians edge Red Sox to keep AL Central lead
After taking some dumb losses last week, the Yankees came into this week with absolutely no breathing room left in the AL East race. The Rays magic number was down to two, meaning any Tampa Bay victory in the four-game series this week would see them clinch the division in the Bronx. Looking to at […]
Reflections on 15 Years of the “Moneyball” movie
On this day fifteen years ago, Moneyball released in theaters in the United States. Starring Brad Pitt as Oakland A’s general manager Billy Beane, the movie was an adaptation of Michael Lewis’s 2003 book Moneyball: The Art of Winning an Unfair Game, telling the story of the 2002 Athletics as they bucked traditional baseball wisdom […]
What should the Yankees do with Carlos Rodón?
Leading off yesterday’s doubleheader, Carlos Rodón pitched like a man who had something to prove. In a way, he does. He may be asked to step aside if the club needs a three-man rotation for a potential Wild Card series next week, widely viewed as the fourth guy sitting outside the Yankees’ Big 3 in […]
Yankees news: Judge expected to miss first round
MLB Trade Rumors | Steve Adams: The Yankees do not expect Aaron Judge to be ready for the Wild Card round, manager Aaron Boone announced Tuesday. While not surprising given his exit from a game last week with a calf strain, Judge’s absence deals a blow to a squad that’s been without its captain for […]
Yankees lose nightcap, AL East race to Rays, officially clinching division
I’m sorry dear reader, that I don’t have much to say to you. After a high-wire act win earlier in the day, the Yankees did in fact go gently into that good night. They were overmatched by Rays starter Drew Rasmussen, and while the race for the division was functionally over after dropping two of […]
New York Yankees vs. Tampa Bay Rays: Max Fried vs. Drew Rasmussen
Earlier this afternoon, we saw the blueprint for what an Aaron Judge-less postseason run will have to look like: Incredible performance from the starter, good defense, and just enough hitting to get by. The Yankees will look to repeat that in the nightcap of today’s doubleheader, with a crackling starting pitcher matchup. Max Fried toes […]
Yankees win first game of doubleheader behind Carlos Rodón’s milestone performance
The chances are now paper thin after a series loss in Arizona, but if the Yankees are to have any shot of chasing down the Rays in the final week of the season, they absolutely must sweep this four-game series. That required a dominant performance from Carlos Rodón facing one of the AL’s best starters […]
New York Yankees vs. Tampa Bay Rays: Carlos Rodón vs. Nick Martinez
This four-game tilt against the Rays in the penultimate series of the season had the chance to be a blockbuster showdown to decide the division. However, the Yankees losing two out of three to the Diamondbacks removed a lot of the jeopardy from this series, New York now needing to sweep just to avoid being […]
Jazz Chisholm Jr. to be activated from IL
Aaron Boone shared a more positive update on Jazz Chisholm Jr. ahead of the series opener against the Rays on Tuesday. The Yankees infielder was activated ahead of the second game of the doubleheader against Tampa Bay. Chisholm initially landed on the injured list approximately two weeks ago with a right thumb sprain. To open […]
Aaron Judge to miss Wild Card Series with moderate grade calf strain
Aaron Boone met with the media to shed some light on Judge’s injury status ahead of Tuesday’s doubleheader against the Rays. Boone revealed that he suffered a moderate grade right calf strain that landed him on the 10-day injured list, and the Yankees captain received a PPP (platelet-poor plasma) injection as treatment during Monday’s off […]
Yankees At-Bat of the Week: George Lombard Jr. (9/20)
Unfortunately, the Yankees effectively pissed away whatever slim chance they had to catch the Rays in the division by losing two out of three to the Diamondbacks, the pitching staff wobbling uncharacteristically in the desert. It was at least encouraging to see the offense mostly carry their weight in the wake of Aaron Judge’s placement […]
Should the Yankees use Cam Schlittler in Game 1 or 2 of the Wild Card Series?
The New York Yankees have punched their ticket to the 2026 MLB Playoffs and, barring a late surprise, will face the Boston Red Sox in the AL Wild Card Series with all games being played in Yankee Stadium. There are legitimate questions surrounding the Yanks’ offense and bullpen, but their rotation appears to be in […]
Yankees Birthday of the Day: Urban Shocker
If you were to make a lineup of the all-time best Yankees based solely on having fun names, Urban Shocker would have a strong argument to be the starting pitcher, however he was also much more than that. While his best years didn’t come in the Bronx, Shocker was a very good MLB pitcher, including […]
