A look at the first half of the season for the RailRiders

Hard to believe, but the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders have reached the midpoint of their season. The New York Yankees’ Triple-A affiliate wrapped up first-half play in the International League with a record of 37-37. That was good for 12th in the 20-team standings, 9.5 games behind the first-half champion Memphis Redbirds (47-28). The RailRiders began second-half […]

Yankees call up Oswaldo Cabrera, send Ryan McMahon to IL

Waldo is officially back. Yankees utilityman Oswaldo Cabrera, who hasn’t played a major-league game since fracturing his ankle early last season, is being called up by the organization to pitch in as third baseman Ryan McMahon was placed on the injured list with an throat infection. YES Network’s Jack Curry revealed the information on Wednesday […]

Yankees At-Bat of the Week: Ali Sánchez (6/22)

The Yankees offense has hit a bit of a rut of late, entering play Tuesday on the back of a three-game losing streak and four losses in their last five, the team scoring three or fewer runs in all of those losses. As such, there haven’t been many options to choose for At-Bat of the […]

Yankees Birthday of the Day: Phil Hughes

For those of us who grew up in the mid-2000s, Phil Hughes was the first real Yankees super-prospect. Drafted in the first round of the 2004 draft, the young right-hander shot up prospect boards and through the Yankees farm system, taking the league by storm even before officially making his Major League debut. Injuries and […]

Is 2026 the Yankees’ best chance to win the World Series?

The city of New York is on a high right now, still celebrating the Knicks’ first championship in 53 years. Though the Knicks will have every chance to return to the NBA Finals next year, observers of the team and the NBA at large knew that this season was a crucial chance for the Knicks, […]

Yankees news: Yanks sign top Taiwanese arm

MLB.com: The Yankees have signed Chien-Fan Lai as an undrafted free agent, the team announced Tuesday. The highest-rated Taiwanese pitcher in the 2026 amateur class, Lai is a 6-foot right-hander who recently graduated from high school. “The signing of Chien-Fan represents our renewed commitment to players in Taiwan, and in Asia as a whole,” said Mario […]

New York Yankees @ Detroit Tigers: Carlos Rodón vs. Casey Mize

June has, in general, been a good month for the Yankees. Despite losing multiple outfielders to injury, the team has not only kept its head above water, but has also surpassed the Rays for the AL East lead (which currently sits at two games). Despite some commendable play over the first three weeks, though, they […]

The sinker could be the solution to Ryan Weathers’ home run woes

Welcome back to our series on the innovations the Yankees pitching department is making with the sinker! They’ve dusted off the pitch from a period of league-wide dormancy and have a renewed focus on disseminating it across as much of their pitching room as are willing to use it. Last month, I kicked off the […]

The Carlos Rodón Yankees Experience, Explained

With summer upon us, I recently found myself alone on a long, quiet drive home after dropping my daughter off for camp with her grandparents. As the miles rolled by and the hum of the tires turned over old memories, I wandered down a self-inflicted rabbit hole about how the brain works. Eventually, I landed […]

How much of Giancarlo Stanton will the Yankees see in 2026?

We recently put out a call in The Feed to take the temperature of Yankees fans on Giancarlo Stanton’s outlook for the remainder of 2026. The story of Stanton’s season is unfortunately the same as it ever was, at least since 2019. Following a 158-game debut in pinstripes, the former NL MVP had several issues […]

Yankees catcher Ali Sánchez placed on paternity list; J.C. Escarra recalled

The Yankees’ catching carousel keeps moving along, as only days after getting sent down to Triple-A, J.C. Escarra is once again back with the big-league club to replace Ali Sánchez, who was placed on the paternity list. This move comes a day after Sánchez had to leave early in a game against the Tigers, having […]

Yankees Birthday of the Day: Hensley Meulens

The island nation of Curaçao is accustomed to punching above its weight in the sporting world. Well above. Ahead of this year’s FIFA World Cup, they became the smallest country—both by land area and population—to qualify for the tournament. That milestone accompanies its continued ascendence as a baseball hotbed. You can thank Curaçao for the […]

Yankees prospects: Week 13 minor league recap

It’s the end of the first half of the minor league season, and only one of the affiliates had a chance to clinch a playoff spot. Somerset had a subpar week, so all four affiliates will now have a clean slate entering the start of the second half. Some key prospects went on the shelf, […]

The Yankees have hit a bit of a rough patch, losing their last three games and four of their last five after opening up their latest road trip with a 5-3 defeat at the hands of the Tigers. Gerrit Cole looked his most vulnerable since returning from the IL, going 4.1 innings and allowing five […]

Yankees news: Judge, Rice, and Bellinger in a good spot in All-Star vote

MLB.com | Brian Murphy and Shanthi Sepe-Chepuru: With Phase 1 of the All-Star Game voting process concluding on Thursday, several Yankees have a good chance of moving on to Phase 2. Ben Rice is the second-most-voted first baseman behind Vladimir Guerrero Jr. and should advance. The same can be said about Cody Bellinger and Aaron […]

Sloppy Yankees drop series opener to Tigers

There are plenty of baseball games where you can pinpoint an individual moment to being what the result hinges on. There are others where things just always feel destined for a loss. Despite a close final score, Monday’s game against the Tigers felt like one of the latter for the Yankees. On the mound, Gerrit […]

New York Yankees @ Detroit Tigers: Gerrit Cole vs. Framber Valdez

The Yankees had a bit of a frustrating end to their homestand over the weekend. Having taken the opening game of the series against the Reds, they were held in check in both of the next two, allowing Cincinnati to take the series. However, despite their reputation, the Yankees have actually had a pretty decent […]
