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 […]
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, […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
The Yankees are in Boston today, as they’ll take on their archrivals for the first time in 2026. It’s just the second time the Yankees have faced a divisional foe this season, their three-game set at the Trop against the Rays this month the only AL East matchup on a slate that’s otherwise been populated […]
MLB.com | Max Ralph: Your New York Yankees return to play on Tuesday at Fenway Park, visiting the Boston Red Sox in the first series between the two archrivals since the Bombers eliminated the Sox from the 2025 Postseason in the Wild Card round. Luis Gil and his 7.00 ERA in two starts will take […]
This past week looked like it was going to continue to frustrate the Yankees, as they opened up with a series where they pulled a split from the jaws of a sweep. The Angels outclassed them on the field, dominated the two wins that they took in the Bronx, and only thanks to the full […]
The New York Yankees have obviously had many successful decades in their history, but despite winning more games than anyone in baseball in the ’80s, it ranks among their lowest-achieving. After losing the World Series in 1981, the Bombers wouldn’t play postseason baseball for well over a decade, not playing meaningful October ball again until […]
There’s no sugarcoating it: the Yankees’ bullpen has looked real shaky to start the year. As a collective unit, their 4.22 ERA ranks 17th in MLB through Saturday’s action, and only four teams have blown more saves than their five. Exacerbating the issue is that their two late-inning options—David Bednar and Camilo Doval—have been only […]
After a difficult two-week stretch, it was nice for the Yankees to have a laugher series against the Royals. They swept their first series since the opener against the Giants, the pitching staff bouncing back to limit Kansas City to six runs across the three games while Aaron Judge and Ben Rice are really finding […]
Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders: Postponed due to rain at Syracuse Mets; doubleheader scheduled for June 3rd Double-A Somerset Patriots: L, 6-7 vs. Reading Fightin Phils 3B George Lombard Jr. 1-4, HR, BB, RBI, 2 K — pretty nice to lead off a ballgame by taking no less than Zack Wheeler deep to dead center, gotta say […]
The Yankees are in a pretty fortunate position in terms of their starting pitching at the moment. Max Fried and Cam Schlittler have been superb leading the rotation, easing the pressure on the rehabbing Gerrit Cole and Carlos Rodón. Unless he can turn the clock back to the first half of 2024 in his next […]
MLB Trade Rumors | Charlie Wright: The Yankees made a minor trade on Sunday, trading infielder Braden Shewmake to the Astros for Wilmy Sanchez. Shewmake has appeared in the majors for the Braves and White Sox and was signed as a minor-league depth infielder. As for who the Yankees have picked up, Sanchez is a […]
The start of the game was delayed a little over three hours, but it didn’t seem to affect either the Yankees’ bats or arms. With a chance to sweep the Royals, the club did just that, flattening their onetime bitter rivals behind Ryan Weathers’ strong start and a big first inning for the lineup. The […]
It’s Sunday once more, and you know what that means — it’s time for our weekly social media roundup! This week, we focus not just on the present, but also on the legacy of the past, as we celebrated Jackie Robinson Day this Wednesday. How did the Yankees acknowledge this important day — as well […]
The New York Yankees are eyeing a series sweep of the Kansas City Royals on Sunday afternoon, and first pitch of the expected matchup between southpaws Ryan Weathers and Cole Ragans was supposed to be 1:35pm ET. Unfortunately, the weather isn’t cooperating. Even before the Yankees revealed their starting lineup for Sunday, they posted at […]
