Latest news and updates about the Yankees
If you haven’t been paying much attention to non-Orioles baseball so far this year, I regret to inform you that the 2026 New York Yankees are a good team. Their 20 wins are the most in the American League. They have scored 153 runs, second-most in the AL. They have allowed 106, which is the […]
Good morning, LSB. The Rangers were off yesterday. Jeff Wilson has three developments from the Rangers’ win in the series finale against the Yankees. Evan Grant writes about Nathan Eovaldi figuring things out, as expected. Grant’s Rangers stock report touches on the bullpen and on Corey Seager’s struggles. MLB Pipeline dropped a new list of […]
Despite a shutout loss to the Texas Rangers in the final game of a three-game set at the hands of former Yankees hurler Nathan Eovaldi, the Bombers walked away from Globe Life Field with a victory in the series. Overall, they went 7-2 on the road trip, sweeping Boston and nearly doing the same to […]
Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders: W, 5-4 (10) vs. Buffalo Bisons SS George Lombard Jr. 1-3, 2 BB, K, CS, picked off — antsy on the basepaths, but on base three times in Triple-A debutCF Spencer Jones 1-5, 3 KRF Yanquiel Fernández 2-5, RBI, K3B Oswaldo Cabrera 2-3, 2 BBDH Seth Brown 0-4, BB, 3 K1B Ernesto Martinez Jr. 2-5, […]
You never want to lose heading into an off-day, but something tells me the Yankees didn’t have too bad of a flight back home. Though a shutout loss to the Rangers left a sour final note as the Bombers headed to New York, the setback still left them with a stellar 7-2 record on a […]
MLB.com | Bryan Hoch: Andy Pettitte, you’ve got company; Max Fried is making a case for himself as the Yankees pitcher with the best pickoff move. Fried’s skills were on display when he picked off Josh Jung in the fourth inning of Monday’s 4-2 win against the Rangers with a delayed motion (video in article). […]
Anthony Volpe’s return from shoulder surgery will probably be judged in extremes. If he comes back looking like the polished two-way shortstop Yankees fans once imagined, every line drive, diving stop, and stolen base will reignite the belief that a true breakout might finally be here. If the offensive line remains parked where it has […]
April is just about over, which means it’s time for our first GM approval poll of the 2026 regular season. We’ve learned several things through the first month of games. The American League could be an absolute dogpile with just the Yankees and Rays better than one game over .500, while across the league managers’ […]
The Yankees will end the first month of the season with a modest 1.5-game lead on the American League’s best record. Both the Yanks and the Rays—who are right behind them—are off today, so New York already knows that May will begin with them in front by a game and a half in both the […]
Some baseball nicknames are exaggerations. For George “Jumbo” Brown, his was more of a scouting report. Jumbo Brown was listed at 6-foot-4 and 300 pounds, making him one of the largest players of his era and a pitcher whose size alone guaranteed he would be remembered. Long before modern strength programs, nutrition plans, and radar […]
The big news in Yankee world on Wendesday was the MLB debut of Elmer Rodríguez. The pitcher is ranked as one of the top prospects in the Yankees’ organization and is one of just a handful of recent Yankees’ pitchers to debut at age 22 or younger. Well, the Yankees ended up losing on Wednesday, […]
Arguably the Phillies’ biggest weakness in the start to a season that’s been full of them is left-handed pitching. As a team, they’re dead last in batting average (.180), OPS (.567), and wRC+ (61) against lefties. They have yet to win a game against a non-opener left-handed starting pitcher. Clearly, the Phillies need all the […]
Rangers 3, Yankees 0
The Yankees picked up their fourth consecutive series win, taking the first two games from the Rangers at Globe Life Field. The offense may have gotten on the plane back to New York early as they got shut out by Nathan Eovaldi in the series finale, but they can still be proud of a 7-2 […]
Triple-A: Syracuse Mets (14-13) SYRACUSE, LEHIGH VALLEY Game postponed due to rain; will be made up on April 30 as part of a single-admission doubleheader. Double-A: Binghamton Rumble Ponies (8—15) Game 1: NEW HAMPSHIRE 8, BINGHAMTON 2 (BOX) You’ll notice a theme in last night’s games: poor offense and poorer pitching. Will Watson got lit […]

It would have been extremely nice to finsh an 8-1 road trip with another sweep, but mean ol’ pal Nathan Eovaldi proved to be the force that stopped the Yankees in their tracks. The tenacious foe shut New York out through seven as Texas salvaged the final game of their series, outdueling the debuting Elmer […]
MLB.com | Bryan Hoch: Jasson Domínguez took a pitch off his left elbow Wednesday afternoon and left the game shortly after. X-rays taken at the stadium were inconclusive so the Yankees are sending Jasson for a CT scan. For his part, he doesn’t sound too concerned, publicly at least. When asked, Domínguez commented, “As of […]
MLB debuts aren’t always sunshine and rainbows, and expectations should always be tempered when a young player is suddenly donning a major league uniform. Cam Schlittler’s electric debut last season is a rarity, not an expectation. Elmer Rodríguez held the Texas Rangers off the scoreboard for the first four innings, but his inability to throw […]
The Texas Rangers scored three runs while the New York Yankees scored zero runs. Usually an MLB debut goes one of two ways for a starting pitcher. Either the nerves get to them and they’re sent to the showers early with a massive ERA that they have the rest of their career to shave down […]
There haven’t been a whole bunch of health issues with the Yankees this season, but the last few days haven’t been so kind. Jasson Domínguez, playing in just his third game of the season after being recalled to replace the injured Giancarlo Stanton as the team’s primary DH, was removed from Wednesday’s game against the […]
It’s past vs. the future this afternoon in Arlington, as the Yankees go for a three-game sweep of the Texas Rangers in a Wednesday matinee on the backs of a highly-touted prospect making his MLB debut against a grizzled veteran who once donned the pinstripes as a youngster. Elmer Rodríguez is getting an audition these […]

As Gerrit Cole and Carlos Rodón work their ways back from the IL, the Yankees are likely to have an influx of starting pitching soon. Still, injury and ineffectiveness can derail the best laid plans. That was thrown into stark relief this week, with Luis Gil demoted after another disappointing start that raised his ERA […]
Texas Rangers lineup for April 29, 2026 against the New York Yankees: starting pitchers are Nathan Eovaldi for the Rangers and Elmer Rodriguez for the Yankees. It is the final game of this series, and the final game of April. Elmer Rodriguez, a consensus top 100 prospect who has a 1.27 ER in 21 innings […]
