Yankees Birthday of the Day: Félix Heredia

Not everything is sunshine and rainbows under the bright lights of the Major League stadium. Some are able to cherish it and milk it for all it offers, making an impact on fan bases throughout their time in a big-league uniform. But others can lose their way and fall by the wayside. When that happens […]

A brand-new MVP ballot hits the AL

I am loathe to say that something within the world of baseball is impossible for Aaron Judge. However, he’ll probably play right around 100 games this season if his IL-reduced projections are correct, and even he is not good enough to merit a fourth MVP award while missing that many games. Them’s the breaks. Those […]

Yankees prospects: Martin’s three-RBI day leads Somerset to extra-inning win

Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders: Postponed due to rain, doubleheader scheduled for Friday Double-A Somerset Patriots: W, 5-4 (10) at Portland Sea Dogs LF Jackson Castillo 1-4, 1 R, 1 BB, 2 K, 1 SBCF Garrett Martin 2-4, 1 HR, 1 2B, 3 RBI, 1 R, 1 BB — solo shot in the fourth, two-run double in […]

Has David Bednar shaken off his early struggles?

Things are going well for the Yankees right now, all things considered. Even though the team is without their top hitter in Aaron Judge and one of their top pitchers in Max Fried, alongside a few other regulars in the lineup that could really be helping them out. Despite this, they’re sitting in first place […]

Yankees news: Boone not ready to start Jones against lefties

NY Daily News | Gary Phillips: Since being called up again on June 5th, outfielder Spencer Jones has given the Yankees a strong .318/.423/.636 line with a 193 wRC+ in 26 plate appearances. His playing time against lefties, however, has been fairly limited. It’s understandable, since he struggled to the tune of a .663 OPS […]

How have the Yankees and White Sox never met in the playoffs?

The New York Yankees’ greatness can be measured and appreciated in many different stats; one of them is that at some point or another, they’ve played at least one playoff series against 26 of the other 29 active teams in Major League Baseball, eye-popping even for a team with 27 World Series titles and 41 […]

Cody Bellinger’s still taking his walks

About a month ago, I wrote about Cody Bellinger’s vastly improved walk rate. At the time, his season wRC+ stood at a robust 141, fueled by a career-high 15.2-percent walk rate. Since then, Bellinger’s numbers have slipped, but only slightly. His walk rate is a still stellar 13.5 percent, which would still be his highest […]

Yankees At-Bat of the Week: Ben Rice (6/14)

The Rogers Centre has proven to be a house of horrors for the Yankees over the last calendar year. In dropping the recent series opener in Toronto, the Yankees had lost nine of their last ten games north of the border including a pair of thumpings in the first two games of the 2025 ALDS. […]

Yankees Birthday of the Day: Víctor Mata

Few people get the chance to spend more than 30 years working for the same organization. Those who do usually earn a reputation for being reliable, productive, and adaptable enough to survive a constantly changing workplace. Víctor Mata accomplished exactly that with the New York Yankees, first as a player, then as a coach, and […]

Unpacking Ryan Yarbrough’s first three months

As the Yankees’ bullpen has come under fire over the past few months and emerged as arguably the team’s biggest weakness*, they have continued to carry both Paul Blackburn and Ryan Yarbrough — two pitchers who have spent most of their career as starters (or, well, in Yarbrough’s case, starter-adjacent, thanks to the Rays frequently […]

Yankees prospects: George Lombard Jr. injures hand on defense

Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders: W, 3-1 at Columbus Clippers SS George Lombard Jr. 1-1, 2B, BB, picked off — left the game after an awkward play in the field where his hand came right into the runner as he was stealing second, super unfortunate LF Kenedy Corona 1-2, RBI, SFC Austin Wells 0-3, BB, K — first […]

Yankees news: Injury updates and painful prospect news

MLB.com | Bryan Hoch: I guess the good news is that Austin Wells began a rehab stint on Tuesday night at Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre. Now. Buckle in. Because that’s it for good news on the injury front. Trent Grisham will be out “a few weeks” due to his hamstring strain. There had initially been a vague […]

Yankees explode on one of game’s best, beat White Sox by 10

I recapped the Yankees’ incredible 13-run inning against Sacramento, and I was tapped for tonight’s blowout win as well. Should I recap a third blowout, that’s a trend and I’ll be asking my editors for a raise, since clearly I’m having influence here. The Yankees were down 1-0 three batters into the game, but that […]

New York Yankees vs. Chicago White Sox: Gerrit Cole vs. Davis Martin

You gotta salivate over games like this. The Yankees are back home after a successful 5-1 road trip, claiming sole possession of first place in the AL East along the way. Gerrit Cole has looked strong in his return from Tommy John surgery, and the increasingly-wily veteran will go up against one of the game’s […]

The Yankees Reliever Confidence Index: June Edition

The proof of the pudding is in the eating. Despite featuring a closer who has, at times, underperformed and lacking a clear bridge to him in the late innings, the Yankees’ relief corps has posted the third-lowest ERA in the AL. Yes, a big reason for that statistic is the fact that New York’s starters […]

This Yankees team could have a 2019-esque makeup

Heading into play on Tuesday, the Yankees will remain alone atop the American League East. Although their margin over the Rays is not a large one, their standing is a testament to their resilience through some difficult times on the health front. The team’s best player, and one of the best the sport has ever […]

Yankees prospects: Week 12 minor league recap

It’s a good week when just one of the seven affiliates has a losing record, and that’s only because they lost to their sister club. There were a lot of sensational hitting performances this week on the farm, but that’s not to say the pitching slacked off either. In fact, it was a really good […]

Yankees Birthday of the Day: Will Warren

The present day New York Yankees are in a fight for the lead in the American League East. Of course, there’s plenty of season left, but the Tampa Bay Rays have been either ahead of them or right on their heels. And in order for the Bombers to stay in the lead (and help separate […]
