The New York Yankees have kept Ben Rice out of the catcher rotation for a majority of the 2026 season, and Aaron Boone has offered the clearest explanation yet. The manager framed the issue around health, physical readiness, and his comfort level, not Rice’s performance. Rice’s offensive value already gives the Yankees lineup flexibility, but […]

Getaway games can never just be normal, can they? Carlos Rodón’s second pitch of the game was hit out of the park, Angel Martínez played right field like he was doing shots in between innings, Trent Grisham had one of the most consequential ABS challenges of the year … this game had a bit of […]
The Guardians enter this afternoon’s series finale against the Yankees with a narrow lead in the AL Central. They’re half a game up on the White Sox with a 37-32 record in their bid for a third consecutive division title. It has been a similar story to the past few iterations of Guards baseball. They […]

It’s been a series full of nailbiters, but at least the Yankees have come out on the right side of a pair of one-run games in this set with the Guardians. With a getaway day today, we have a matinee affair for you that will hopefully be a little more of a laugher than we’ve […]
Going into the season, the New York Yankees’ bullpen was its biggest question mark. Losing two high-leverage relievers in Luke Weaver and Devin Williams to their cross-town rival, and not replacing their production. The Yankees’ bullpen isn’t built for a deep playoff run as it stands. Too many question marks on who is reliable in […]

Coming into the Yankees’ May 3rd game against the Orioles, Ben Rice was riding high. His slash line stood at a mind-boggling .337/.455/.745, and he further added to it with a first-inning homer off of Trey Gibson. However, misfortune befell him in the third inning. A low pickoff attempt from Max Fried hit him on […]
The New York Yankees are playing well at the moment despite Aaron Judge’s injury absence. The Yankees are certainly hopeful that Judge can return sooner rather than later, but the ball club is finding success despite the circumstances. New York is going to buy at the MLB trade deadline, but what exactly will they pursue? […]

Yankees history is flush with an embarrassment of luminaries—not just on the diamond, but in the broadcast booth, from Red Barber and Mel Allen to the late John Sterling. Ken Singleton was both a terrific ballplayer and an outstanding broadcaster who spent nearly 25 seasons covering the Yankees on MSG and later the YES Network. […]

They’ve been tense, gritty affairs, but the Yankees have taken the first two games against the Guardians. It was Cody Bellinger with the extra-inning heroics on Monday, while Spencer Jones hit his first big-league home run and Jazz Chisholm Jr. the game-winner to lead off the eighth in Tuesday’s win. They’ll go for the sweep […]
New York Yankees second baseman Jazz Chisholm Jr. suggested Tuesday that he enjoyed being on the receiving end of taunts from Cleveland Guardians fans.
Where would the Yankees be without Cody Bellinger? Even before the Aaron Judge injury, Bellinger was by far the Yankees’ third-most productive and perhaps the most consistent hitter at the plate. Now with Judge on the shelf for at least another month, the Yankees rely on Bellinger’s steady approach perhaps more than ever. On top […]
Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders: W, 5-2 vs. Lehigh Valley IronPigs SS George Lombard Jr. 1-4, RBI, K, SFRF Jasson Domínguez 3-3, HR, BB, 2 RBI, SB — excellent rehab appearance, and his first look at right field, where he could play with Aaron Judge out (only ball hit to him was a routine fly in the sunny […]
CJ Abrams is just 25 years old, has 14 home runs, 51 RBIs, and a .283 average in 67 games, and plays for a Washington Nationals team that traded MacKenzie Gore in January and is clearly not built to contend over a 162-game season.
ESPN's Jeff Passan explored the trade picture this week, naming the Yankees, Braves, Brewers, and Rays as teams that could pursue Abrams ahead of the August 3 deadline.
Abrams is not a free agent until after the 2028 season, meaning any acquiring team gets two-pl...
The wear and tear of a baseball season can sure change things in a hurry, even in May. Remember when the Yankees miraculously made it through spring training with essentially the entire expected Opening Day roster intact? Since then, they’ve lost Aaron Judge, Max Fried, Giancarlo Stanton, Austin Wells, and Jasson Domínguez*. Gerrit Cole and […]
New York Post | Ryan Dunleavy: Results from Austin Wells’ MRI on Monday have shown no immediate causes for concern, and while the catcher will be meeting with doctors again this week as they attempt to find the root cause of his cervical headaches, that can only be considered good news. In the meantime, J.C. […]
Outfielder Spencer Jones played a massive role in the New York Yankees’ 3-2 victory over the Cleveland Guardians on Tuesday. And now he’ll have a memento to hold onto forever. Jones hit a two-run home run for the first long ball of his career. He made sure to keep the ball in a safe place […]

Ben Rice is quickly becoming a fan favorite in the Bronx, and for good reason. The New York Yankees first baseman is having an unbelievable breakout season. The star first baseman has been arguably the team’s best player outside of Aaron Judge, and he’s helped the team navigate the sudden absence of their star outfielder. […]

The New York Yankees watched Jazz Chisholm Jr. turn hostile chants into the loudest swing of Tuesday night’s matchup vs. the Cleveland Guardians. The veteran infielder answered the crowd with a tie-breaking home run at Progressive Field, giving New York the lead for good in a tight road win. Chisholm stepped in during the eighth […]

The New York Yankees received an update on Jasson Dominguez that should excite fans Tuesday night. The outfielder showed progress during his rehab assignment with Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre, giving the organization another encouraging sign as it monitors his return. Dominguez went 3-for-3 with a walk through the first six innings at PNC Field. The 23-year-old also […]

The Spencer Jones experiment has been extremely interesting over the first few weeks we’ve seen it. Yankee fans have been wondering aloud how a player with such titanic power, but such concerning holes in his swing, would fare against big-league pitching. The early results have been mixed. He’s kept up his reputation as someone who […]
The New York Yankees are looking to compete in the American League East standings despite currently being without Aaron Judge due to a ribs injury. While initial reports suggested the slugger could miss four to six weeks with the injury, Judge decided to not comment on a potential timeline for a return. The Yankees also […]
