Latest news and updates about the Yankees
It’s still hard to believe that John Sterling is no longer with us. The longtime voice of the Yankees who died at age 87 this past Monday was, in my book, among the greatest broadcasters of all time. He brought unforgettable moments to life with his signature theatrical flair, delighting and entertaining generations of Yankees […]
The Milwaukee Brewers are back in town, as they’ll take on the New York Yankees with Jackson Chourio ready to suit up for the first time at home this season. Milwaukee is coming off a series split with the Cardinals, as the second game of the series was rained out and rescheduled for early July. […]
Nothing about the Yankees’ terrific start to May has been guaranteed. The Bombers have routinely had to scratch and claw to stay ahead in ballgames—dodging poor fortune and injury scares to emerge out the other side with a hard-earned win. Today’s getaway day game against Texas was no different. Scheduled starter Ryan Weathers was out […]
The Texas Rangers scored twice but the New York Yankees scored nine runs. No team in the American League is very good right now except for the team the Rangers have played like six times in the last two weeks, which happens to be the team they played today. The Rangers won two of those […]
I can still remember exactly where I was when Bartolo Colon hit his first career home run, ten years ago today, May 7, 2016. I was throwing away a poopy diaper. My son was three months old, and after feeding him, my wife handed him off to me for some dad time while she rested. […]
Jasson Domínguez exited today’s game against the Rangers after a scary collision with the left field wall. Brandon Nimmo, Texas’ leadoff hitter, sent a line drive to left, which Domínguez caught before ramming into the wall. Domínguez immediately went to the ground and Aaron Boone and the team’s trainers quickly ran to the outfield. The left fielder was […]
1927 The Comiskey Park upper deck officially opened to fans, as 37,000 fans streamed in to watch the New York Yankees crush the home team, 8-0. The upper deck added 23,200 seats to the ballpark’s capacity. It was a tight contest until the ninth inning, when Lou Gehrig capped a six-run frame for the Bronx […]
It’s getaway day game time at the Stadium! The Yankees are up bright and early for a 12:35 pm start as they host the Rangers, seeking to win their sixth consecutive series. The Bombers outslugged Texas and handed a second loss to Jacob deGrom in the opener, before suffering a second defeat at the hands […]
Prior to Thursday afternoon’s game against the Rangers, the Yankees called up right-handed pitcher Brendan Beck. The 27-year-old has been with Triple-A Scranton-Wilkes Barre all season, and will likely make his big-league debut against Texas. Across seven starts and 37 innings to this point in 2026, Beck’s results have been so-so. The righty has managed […]

Very recently, I wrote an article here talking about the opportunity presented to the Yankees in 2026, competing for the top spot in an American League that lacked standout clubs. Some of their potential biggest adversaries were dealing with more than their fair share of issues in the Blue Jays and Mariners. Since then, the […]
The Yankees bullpen has stabilized somewhat of late, posting a sub-1.00 ERA in the month of May. A lot of this is driven by a left-on-base rate of around 90-percent, which is likely to regress from its unsustainably high point. All the same, leads have felt safer than in the first few weeks of the […]
Texas Rangers lineup for May 7, 2026 against the New York Yankees: starting pitchers are MacKenzie Gore for the Rangers and Paul Blackburn for the Yankees. Texas plays a very early game in New York today. It is the final game of the road trip, and will determine whether the Rangers win or lose this […]
The Yankees broke their five-game winning streak on Wednesday, their offense finally getting stopped as Yankee Killer Nathan Eovaldi dominated them once again. Their last two losses both came at his hands, as he tossed seven shutout innings in their series in Texas before going eight strong with just an Aaron Judge solo shot blemishing […]
Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders: W, 9-7 (10) at Worcester Red Sox 3B George Lombard Jr. 1-3, 3 BB, KSS Anthony Volpe 0-6, K — had a nice Tuesday but an ugly follow-upCF Spencer Jones 1-5, 2B, BB, RBI, 2 KRF Yanquiel Fernández 4-5, 2B, 2 HR, 5 RBI, K — huge day for Yanquiel, and his […]
Rangers 6, Yankees 1
A few weeks ago upon the news of Angels franchise icon Garret Anderson passing away, John wrote a tribute to him, saluting him as one of the great Yankee Killers of recent vintage. Although David Ortiz was far more famous, Yankees pitchers were also quite flummoxed by having to pitch to Garret. Now today, we’re […]
A two-time World Series champion, “Old Tom” Zachary spent parts of three seasons in New York. In addition to playing for the Yankees, Zachary is tied to Yankees lore as the pitcher who gave up No. 60 to George Herman Ruth back in 1927. Being tied to the Babe is usually enough to keep you […]
SNY | Phillip Martinez: Some news broke late last night, with the Yankees scratching Ryan Weathers from this scheduled start this afternoon. Weathers was apparently dealing with a nasty stomach virus. “I pitched, then went home and pretty much threw my guts out for several hours,” the starter said. “I thought I just had food […]
Editor’s Note: (re-publishing this Aaron Judge Jedi bobblehead post today, to honor #MayThe4th. It originally ran in April of 2018, as the first Star Wars movie in 13 years was set to premiere) May the 4th be with you today. If you’re attending the opener of the New York Yankees‘ next home stand, then this Aaron […] The post The Aaron Judge Jedi Bobblehead You Didn’t Know You Needed appeared first on The Sports Bank .
There was reason to be optimistic heading into tonight. Will Warren has been outstanding early this season and the Yankee offense has been humming. Warren has been stingy with issuing walks and has kept the ball in the yard, while the bats have been posting crooked numbers on the regular. Conversely, there was a very […]
The Texas Rangers scored six runs while the New York Yankees scored one run. After much consternation over the last few days (weeks? months? years?) about the offense, the Rangers had a few ingredients going for them tonight that left us with a better taste in our mouths. For one, they had Nathan Eovaldi on […]
One night after taking down the Rangers and two-time Cy Young Award winner Jacob deGrom, the Yanks are at it again in the Bronx, with the chance to win their sixth consecutive series. It’s been a torrid start to the 2026 season, driven in large part by outstanding starting pitching. One of the hurlers who’s […]

Box Score The Brewers took control early and never looked back, cruising to a 6-2 win behind a four-run first inning on Wednesday afternoon. They will get a well-earned day off tomorrow before returning home to face the 25-11 Yankees, who currently hold the second-best record in baseball. Milwaukee did all of their damage in […]
