Latest news and updates about the Yankees
There was understandable concern in the Bronx when the Yankees placed Max Fried on the 15-day injured list yesterday. The diagnosis of an elbow bone bruise was the same as the one that cost the star lefty two months earlier in the season. Fortunately, the Yankees don’t anticipate nearly the same absence. Manager Aaron Boone told […]
It was a good-looking Shane Baz that greeted New York tonight. Not only did the O’s starter make a big first impression, striking out three Yankees in the first inning (and on three different pitches!—curveball, heater, changeup), he also pinched into the seventh and struck out a season-high ten batters. Alas, as my colleague Paul […]
We’ve seen this game a lot lately. The starting pitcher has himself a good day, the bullpen has arguably a better day, and the lineup just manages to scratch across enough runs for the club to win. Tonight it wasn’t even “the lineup” so much as it was “just Trent Grisham”, but every win counts […]
Last weekend, the Yankees’ and Blue Jays’ hitters tried their best to help their respective aces gain some ground in the AL Cy Young race. Neither side had much luck. On Saturday, Cam Schlittler held Toronto to one run in 5 1/3 innings, striking out seven. The next day, it was Dylan Cease’s turn to dominate. […]
Carlos Rodón (#55, 33, LHP, 4-2, 3.30) vs. Shane Baz (#34, 27, RHP, 4-12, 4.00) YANKEES CF T. The post Yankees (69-55) @ Orioles (61-64), Tuesday, August 18, 2026, 6:35 PM EDT appeared first on Replacement Level Yankee Weblog .
New York Yankees manager Aaron Boone dropped a reassuring yet firm statement regarding starting pitcher Max Fried's injury designation. After placing him on the 15-day injured list (IL), the New York Yankees lost Max Fried to injury right when Carlos Rodon was activated from the IL. As fans in the Bronx grow anxious about the sudden and unexpected setback to a key piece of the rotation, manager Aaron Boone denied that the injury would require a lengthy recovery during the 2026 MLB season. ...
Series begins with O’s tied for third AL wild card spot
So that was cool! The Orioles emerged from a grueling 10-game road trip with something like momentum, taking three of four from the AL-best Tampa Bay Rays on the road. The starting pitching was solid, the hitters clutch, and the defense frequently stepped up. Now, they welcome the second-place Yankees to Camden Yards. The Yankees […]
After a great start from a lefty in Sunday’s win, the Yankees will turn to another southpaw as they kick off a road trip with three games at Camden Yards. The Orioles may be three games under .500, but they’re sniffing around the final AL Wild Card slot, and Carlos Rodón will have to handle […]
The New York Yankees received encouraging news as manager Aaron Boone revealed Aaron Judge is taking another key step toward his return from injury. Getting Aaron Judge back in the lineup will go a long way for the New York Yankees in the 2026 MLB season. Aaron Boone is well aware of that, just as he is aware of the noise and waves that every announcement related to Judge makes across the Bronx. Still, that didn’t stop him from revealing encouraging progress amid the star outfielder’s recove...
New York Yankees manager Aaron Boone provided an update on 3-time American League MVP Aaron Judge.
The New York Yankees have a decision to make with outfielder Spencer Jones after a Cody Bellinger injury update.
Among the players the New York Yankees fans have been eagerly awaiting is Carlos Rodon, who is set to make his return to the mound this Tuesday. His return also brings encouraging news regarding Luis Gil's status in the pitching rotation. The New York Yankees are welcoming a key weapon back to the rotation on Tuesday as left-hander Carlos Rodon gets the nod against the Baltimore Orioles in their series opener. But as Rodon takes the mound, the Bronx Bombers are also keeping a close eye on th...
The Yankees’ offense ranks 29th among 30 MLB teams with an 86 wRC+ since Aaron Judge went down in late May, and 27th with a 78 wRC+ since Cody Bellinger’s injury (July 26th). The two former MVPs are of vital importance for Aaron Boone’s lineup, as is a healthy Giancarlo Stanton, another past recipient of […]
An already weird relationship between Ketel Marte and the Arizona Diamondbacks took a bizarre turn this week. There were rumors […]
Yankees get good news, then things change dramatically.
It is not a particularly complex argument to say that the loss of Aaron Judge has had a significant affect on the Yankees following his injury at the end of May. This would be the case for any squad missing out on a bat that can reasonably be included in conversations with Barry Bonds and […]
Vladimir Guerrero Jr. continues to be one of the Toronto Blue Jays' biggest offensive concerns amid an extended midseason slump, hitting a new low during Toronto's recent series loss to the rival New York Yankees. Fresh off a World Series appearance last fall, the Toronto Blue Jays find themselves in a vastly different reality this season. Sitting at 61-65 and buried at the bottom of the American League East standings, Toronto’s rapid decline has been spearheaded by a baffling power outage f...
The dog days of August are in full swing on the minor league calendar, and as some of the Yankees affiliates juggle an injury bug and a ton of moving parts due to midseason promotions, the playoff race is heating up. As of right now, just two teams will be playing for a title, with […]
From the Yankees, Red Sox and Dodgers to the Pirates, Marlins and A's, every MLB front office is graded on a curve that includes the MLB trade deadline.
Between the sign stealing scheme of recent years, the steroid/PED news cycles of the past couple decades, and the many other scandals through the history of the sport, cheating has always been a hot topic in baseball. Very few of the scandals are as amusing as the “spitball.” For one, the spitball was legal for […]
Ryan McMahon has had enough time for the Yankees to know what the numbers look like. A .215 average and […]
The Yankees enjoyed their Monday off, headed to Baltimore for a three-game set with the Orioles. Coming off of a disappointing series against the Jays, albeit with a strong finish, the Bombers have plenty of ground to make up in the East during the final months of the season, though they still hold the top […]
After a grueling 11-day, 10-game road trip, the Orioles finally return to Camden Yards for the first time since Aug. 6. And this time, they’re coming in with some swagger. The Orioles just went toe-to-toe with the best team in the American League, taking three out of four from the Rays in a hard-fought series […]
The Yankees might finally be getting something real from Austin Wells after a season that had gone badly at the […]
