Latest news and updates about the Yankees
The Yankees may be leaking oil as the club approached the All-Star break but the club will be well-represented at the Midsummer Classic with a trio of position players and the presumptive favorite for the AL Cy Young Award playing for the Junior Circuit this summer. The fans voted injured slugger Aaron Judge into the […]
One of the things that wears on you in stretches like this is the recaps actually start to annoy you. Look, I get it, I’m a silly little baseball blogger, I’m not an ER nurse working a double shift or a teacher paying for their own Elmer’s glue while kids can no longer sound out […]
Well, that was fun. For a few days, the Boston Red Sox looked like the team we thought they would be. Great starting pitching. A shutdown bullpen. Elite defense. Timely hitting. An extra-inning comeback victory capped the club’s first four-game sweep of their archrival Yankees since 2018, a winning streak that would stretch to five […] The post Taking Stock of the Red Sox Before the Trade Deadline appeared first on Just Baseball .
The New York Yankees‘ roster has been decimated by injuries in recent weeks, playing a role in the club’s June […]
The fever breaks! The Yankees won a baseball game last night, something we haven’t been able to say in more than a week. They now have a golden opportunity to win two games in a row, which isn’t quite a winning streak by my definition but it’s almost a winning streak. Rookie Brendan Beck gets […]
First Pitch: 12:35 pm CDTTV: Twins.TVRadio: TIBN / WCCO 830 / The Wolf 102.9 FM / Audacy It seems the recent playbook of Twins v Yankees has involved some level of delusional, early optimism — Kody Clemens’ first-inning homer last night might have set some sort of alternate-reality stage, where the Twins come out guns-a-blazin’ and […]
Now that we're a few days into July, it’s time to answer two equally important questions: Which cap-flush teams handed out the most outrageously expensive contracts to mid-level players, and how’d everyone do in the annual prediction contest? If you’re new to all of this, let’s get you caught up. Every year, right before the season starts, we run a reader contest in which you’re invited to make predictions about what will and won’t happen in the coming season. The questions are simple, but thi...
The New York Yankees (49-38) snapped a seven-game losing streak on Friday night and look to clinch a series victory on Saturday when they host the Minnesota Twins (42-47) at Yankee Stadium. How to Watch Minnesota Twins vs New York…
I hope by the time you read this, the Yankees have snapped their seven-game losing streak. The Minnesota Twins are usually the salve for whatever ails this team, but New York has been dead, dull, and boring for the last week. That last indictment is the worst one for me: If you’re going to be […]
Yankees pitching prospect Carlos Lagrange was placed on the Triple-A injured list on Thursday, and the club provided more details on the right-hander’s status in a media release yesterday. Lagrange is dealing with a capsular sprain in his throwing shoulder and will be shut down for “approximately” the next six weeks. Between this shutdown period […]
Just as there are players who define eras for teams across major sports, there are also those who help make their moments even more unforgettable from high atop a stadium or arena. Names such as Gary Thorne, Vin Scully, Al Michaels, Bob Costas, Doc Emrick, and many others help add to these pieces of history […]
The Yankees at long last broke their losing streak, ending it at seven games after putting up five runs for the first time since June 19th against the Reds. The Twins had their chances to match them, but New York’s pitching held them in check with only Fernando Cruz getting himself into some trouble walking […]
The Yankees’ roster carousel continues. Following last night’s game, they optioned outfielder Spencer Jones to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre. He had been up with the team for his second stint this year, but while he played better than his initial 4-for-24 showing, he was still running a 40-percent strikeout rate. Fellow lefty hitter Trent Grisham’s activation from […]
Triple-A: Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RoughRiders (Yankees) 3, Norfolk Tides 2 A low-scoring affair saw the RoughRiders break a 2-2 tie in the seventh with a run against Enoli Paredes and hold on to defeat a lackluster Tides lineup. No Norfolk batter had more than one hit, managing only five in total, all singles. José Barrero drove in […]
When it comes to the Colorado Rockies and the Trade Deadline, expect the unexpected. The perennial cellar-dwellers have at times conducted the types of fire sales familiar to teams without a shot at the ostseason, attempting to restock their prospect pool while punting on the current group. But they’ve also had deadlines where they hedged, […]

Happy Fourth of July! Or: Happy 43rd anniversary of Dave Righetti no-hitting the Red Sox at the old Yankee Stadium during another disgustingly hot day! And thank you to Rags for always giving us memories of that highlight every time Independence Day comes around. There probably won’t be similar no-hit theatrics today, as the Yankees […]

MLB Trade Rumors | Darragh McDonald: By now you’ve heard that the team took another IL hit yesterday, with lefty Carlos Rodón will spend some time away from the team with elbow inflammation. The worst-case was avoided because his UCL his still intact, but this remains tough news. Although it doesn’t seem at this time […]
What a difference one offday makes. The Yankees got their heads handed to them by the Detroit Tigers in a three-game sweep, extending a losing streak which started in Boston to a full week of futility. But Thursday provided the Bombers a chance to finally hit that reset button. Additionally, some key returners from injury […]
When a team that’s historically turned into terrified toddlers at the very name of one particular other team goes 1-for-12 with runners in scoring position, it’s not generally going to end well. Inning-by-inning notes: 1: I don’t know this for sure, and I’m not going to check it, but it feels like Klobberin’ Kody Klemens […]
Pitcher Carlos Lagrange has a capsular sprain of the right shoulder and will not throw for approximately six weeks, the New York Yankees announced June 3. Lagrange was placed on the minor league injured list, but the extent of his…
The Yankees are in the midst of trying to stop a seven-game losing streak with the Twins in town to begin a three-game series. Minnesota took a quick lead off Gerrit Cole thanks to a solo shot by Kody Clemens, but Yankees leadoff hitter Trent Grisham welcomed himself back from the IL by belting a […]
A rain delay has the Yankees and Twins waiting for thunderstorms to clear.
