Zack Britton Tosses Scoreless Frame In Return

New York Yankees relief pitcher Zack Britton pitched a scoreless frame in his return from the injured list Saturday. It was a non-hold situation, though it was still encouraging to see Britton work a 1-2-3 frame on just 11 pitches, notching a strikeout in the process. The southpaw's velocity was well below what he was […]

Rougned Odor Goes Yard In Saturday's Loss

New York Yankees second baseman Rougned Odor hit his sixth homer of the season in Saturday's loss to the Philadelphia Phillies. Odor singled in his first at-bat, then later hit a towering solo home run, which traveled 428 feet at an exit velocity of 107.7 MPH. The 27-year-old owns a .197 batting average and .659 […]

Gary Sanchez Belts Eighth Homer

New York Yankees catcher Gary Sanchez swatted his eighth homer of the year in Saturday's 8-7 loss to the Philadelphia Phillies.

DJ LeMahieu Hits Key Home Run

New York Yankees infielder DJ LeMahieu went 2-for-5 with a home run, a double, and three RBI in Saturday's loss to the Philadelphia Phillies.

New York Yankees relief pitcher Aroldis Chapman was charged with his second loss of the season in Saturday's defeat to the Philadelphia Phillies.

Jameson Taillon Doomed By First Inning

New York Yankees starting pitcher Jameson Taillon struggled mightily in Saturday's no-decision against the Philadelphia Phillies. Taillon failed to make it out of the first inning, surrendering four runs on five hits with one walk and no strikeouts.

Luis Severino Dealing With A Groin Injury

New York Yankees pitcher Luis Severino (groin) exited Saturday's rehab start for High-A Hudson Valley. Not good news, primarily since this is only the righty's second outing since having Tommy John Surgery back on February 27, 2020. The 27-year-old will have an MRI on Sunday to determine how bad the injury is. However, things aren't […]

Luis Severino Exits Rehab Start With Lower-Body Injury

New York Yankees starting pitcher Luis Severino (elbow, lower body) exited his rehab start on Saturday with an apparent lower-body injury, according to Lindsey Adler of The Athletic.
