Trent Grisham leads Yankees’ six-run sixth inning to clinch sixth-straight series win
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 […]
Jasson Domínguez carted off field after collision with left field wall
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 […]
New York Yankees vs. Texas Rangers: Paul Blackburn vs. MacKenzie Gore
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 […]
Yankees call up rookie right-handed pitcher Brendan Beck
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 […]
Nearly the entire American League is within striking distance of each other
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 […]
Yankees Sequence of the Week: David Bednar (5/5)
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 […]
Yankees Rivalry Roundup: Rays shut out Jays, pull half-game behind Yanks
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 […]
Yankees prospects: Fernández, Martin enjoy multi-homer days
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 […]
Which opposing pitcher is the greatest Yankee Killer?
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 […]
Yankees Birthday of the Day: Tom Zachary
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 […]
Yankees news: Ryan Weathers scratched from Thursday start
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 […]
Nathan Eovaldi keeps rolling against Yankees as Will Warren falters
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 […]
New York Yankees vs. Texas Rangers: Will Warren vs. Nathan Eovaldi
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 […]
Jonathan Ornelas ready when called upon by RailRiders
Infielder Jonathan Ornelas has played in 22 of the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders’ first 32 games this season. Whenever he has been called upon, he has been ready. He has hit safely in 13 of those 22 games, including six multi-hit games. He is batting .339 (21 for 62) with two doubles, one triple, two home runs, 10 […]
Yankees option Elmer Rodríguez, promote Yerry de Los Santos
The Yankees officially optioned Elmer Rodríguez to Triple-A after his start in last night’s game against the Rangers, with Carlos Rodón set to rejoin the rotation in the next week. Since Rodón won’t need to be activated until his start, the Yankees promoted Yerry de Los Santos in the interim. de Los Santos gives the […]
The good, the bad, and the ugly of Elmer Rodríguez’s second start
Top Yankees prospect Elmer Rodríguez had made his MLB debut last week, on Wednesday, against the Texas Rangers, and while he surrendered just two runs in four innings, he struggled with walks and command issues all game. He gave away four free passes and showed the nerves you would expect from a 22-year-old pitching under […]
Remembering the pre-Ben Rice era, Part 1: Tex’s fall, Bird’s unmet promise, and the rise of Voit
If you had told me before the season started that one Yankees batter would have a wRC+ starting with 2 at the beginning of May, I would have immediately guessed Aaron Judge, since, you know, that’s what he did the past two years. Failing that, my next guess would have been Ryan McMahon, with the […]
Yankees Birthday of the Day: Ivy Andrews
Is there anything better than old-timey baseball nicknames? Today, another Hall of Fame-caliber nickname, “Poison” Ivy Paul Andrews, would have celebrated his 119th birthday. Born to a Walker County, Alabama coal mining family in the spring of 1907, Andrews’ father worked in the coal mines, as several of his siblings did, and for a time […]
Yankees Rivalry Roundup: Framber Valdez implodes in Detroit, throws at Red Sox
The good times kept rolling for the Yankees on Tuesday night, as they came from behind to beat Jacob deGrom on behalf of since-demoted rookie Elmer Rodríguez. They’ve won 15 of their last 17 games and would almost be running away with the AL East already if the Rays weren’t off to a scalding-hot start […]
The Yankees need to give Anthony Volpe positional flexibility
When the Yankees announced that Anthony Volpe would not be added to the active roster when he was activated from the injured list, but instead optioned to Triple-A Scranton, manager Aaron Boone indicated that the team had not considered playing him anywhere but at shortstop. Speaking to the media less than 24 hours later, Boone […]
Yankees prospects: Another day, another Spencer Jones dinger

What was your favorite John Sterling home run call?
As the outpouring of grief and good memories flowed after John Sterling’s passing on Monday, I’m sure many of us found ourselves watching old Yankees clips and listening to Sterling’s calls. It’s been oft-repeated this week, but there truly was no one like Sterling, and going through his many fun, bizarre, and quirky calls has […]
Yankees news: Carlos Rodón to return from IL for next start, Elmer Rodríguez optioned
MLB.com | Bryan Hoch: After a scheduled rehab outing Tuesday, Carlos Rodón is expected to make his next start in the majors, per Yankees manager Aaron Boone. He’ll take Elmer Rodríguez’s spot in the rotation, the top prospect who’s made two starts in the interregnum between Luis Gil’s demotion and Rodón’s activation. Fellow starter Gerrit […]
Yankees torch Jacob deGrom in series-opening win over Rangers
The Yankees were down 3-0 in the top of the first inning. There were runners on second and third with two out and a 3-2 count on Jake Burger. Struggling rookie pitcher Elmer Rodríguez was on the verge of being pulled as he neared 40 pitches. Before the Yanks even had a chance to bat, […]
New York Yankees vs. Texas Rangers: Elmer Rodríguez vs. Jacob deGrom
Didn’t we just do this? There’s a big feeling of deja vu in the air in The Bronx tonight, as the Yankees take on the Rangers for the second time in the last week after taking two out of three at Globe Life Field in Arlington last week. That will give rookie starter Elmer Rodríguez […]
