Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders: L, 8-5 (10) vs. Lehigh Valley IronPigs SS George Lombard Jr. 2-5, 2 2B— feels like he might be starting to figure it out in Triple-ARF Jasson Domínguez 1-4, K, SB LF Kenedy Corona 1-1, RBI, SBLF Yanquiel Fernández 0-5, 3 k3B Oswaldo Cabrera 3-4, 2B, BB1B Seth Brown 1-4, BB, KDH Ernesto […]

It’s less a question of “if” than “when” as it pertains to whether the Yankees will add to their bullpen this year. Though the consternation over the club’s relief unit has been overblown (the bullpen does have the third-best ERA and best expected ERA in the American League right now), it’s clear the Yankees plan […]

The Athletic | Brendan Kuty ($): Many worried how the Yankees offense would suffer in the absence of Aaron Judge as he recovers from a broken rib, and while they will always be a better team with him in the lineup, they have to feel encouraged about the sweep they just completed over the Guardians […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]
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. […]
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 […]
You have to learn to have a short memory when you play in the major leagues, and there’s no doubt that a player like Gerrit Cole does. Last week, for the first time in 627 days, Cole took the loss in his first poor outing since returning from Tommy John surgery against these same Cleveland […]

In this week on the farm, we saw the first organizational no-hitter of the season in Scranton, several breakout hitting performances in Somerset, some real pitching struggles down in Hudson Valley, and a Tampa squad that’s putting it all together. Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders Record: 31-31, 7 GB in the International League East after a 3-4 […]
Today’s iteration of our birthday series brings us to an unusual spot relative to some of the entries thus far. With limited options of players born on June 9th, we instead will be celebrating and looking back on Bill Virdon, a solid player, but a man who made his mark on the Yankees in a […]
Last night was one where a lot of Yankees fans were probably somewhat distracted by a certain basketball game being played at Madison Square Garden. Yours truly was among those. However, the Yankees had a game themselves on Monday night, and it was also quite the dramatic one. After going back and forth with the […]
Last week, voting officially opened for the 2026 All-Star Game starters. While in an ideal world, Yankees would top the list at all positions in the American League, the truth is, that’s never the case outside of, maybe, MLB The Show. With that in mind, let’s take a dive into the numbers, and see which […]
Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders: Offday Double-A Somerset Patriots: Offday High-A Hudson Valley Renegades: Offday Low-A Tampa Tarpons: Offday Florida Complex League Yankees: L, 10-9 (11) at FCL Phillies 3B Richard Matic 0-5, RBI, BB, 2 KCF Wilberson De Pena 1-6, 2 KC Queni Pineda 1-4, 2B, 2 BB, 2 K2B Leni Done 3-6, 2B, 2 SBDH Jose Castro 2-4, RBI, 2 […]
The Yankees opened their rematch against the Cleveland Guardians on Monday, playing the AL Central leaders for the fourth time in seven days and evening the head-to-head record by winning in overtime. Cody Bellinger was the MVP of the night, knocking in an early run and then getting two across in extra innings when he […]
NJ Advance Media | Randy Miller: The Yankees could potentially get two key offensive pieces back soon. Per Miller, both Giancarlo Stanton and Jasson Domínguez ‘could be’ in play by next week, although it’s not official. The former is still running and hitting, and manager Aaron Boone hopes he can return by the next homestand. […]
The Yankees won a June game with an October feel. Aaron Boone and Stephen Vogt managed Tuesday night’s contest like a playoff game. The Yankees emptied their bench, both teams had quick hooks on their relievers, and momentum swung back and forth throughout the evening before New York finally emerged with a 7-5 victory in […]
The Yankees clear out of the city ahead of Game 3 of the NBA Finals as they travel to Cleveland tonight to open a three-game series against the Guardians. If it feels like you are experiencing a bit of déjà vu, that is because these two clubs just wrapped up a series in the Bronx […]
Oh, how fast a week changes things. Seven days ago I led the mailbag opening with the belief that the Yankees were close to full-strength sans the return date of Max Fried being unclear. Then, we learned that Aaron Judge would be going on the IL for a fractured rib that he’s been playing through […]
