Luis Severino Has Session Pushed Back

New York Yankee starting pitcher Luis Severino (elbow) had his throwing session pushed back a day due to back stiffness. Severino was slated to face live hitters for the first time since undergoing Tommy John surgery, though that will have to wait a day after the 27-year-old hurler woke up with a stiff back. Aside […]

Suddenly-Hot Starting Pitchers - Trust or Bust?

A lot of the time when you look at a pitcher's full season, you'll notice that the first few starts of the year don't really seem to fit the rest of the season. Pitching is a really tough thing to do and it can often take pitchers a few weeks into the regular season to […]

The Baller Ranks: Weekly Top 101 Starting Pitcher Rankings

While we're grateful for the 2021 season after the mess that was 2020, I understand if the Injury Train has you running on fumes by mid-May. It's a cutthroat game sometimes, but do try to enjoy the wicked pitches and monster homers when you can! We still want to win this war of attrition, so […]

Luke Voit Should Be Good To Go Wednesday After Hit By Pitch

New York Yankees first baseman Luke Voit (hand) said that his hand is "a little swollen" after being hit by a pitch during Tuesday's win over the Rays. Voit added that he expects to be good to go for Wednesday's game. It was likely a scary moment for fantasy managers who had stashed Voit in […]

Yankees Plan To Play Wednesday Despite Third Positive Case

The New York Yankees are still planning to play Wednesday's game as scheduled despite a third positive COVID-19 case in their clubhouse. Third base coach Phil Nevin was announced as an earlier positive case- and the Yankees have said that first base coach Reggie Willits and a support staff member non-coach have also tested positive. […]

Gary Sanchez Goes Yard Tuesday

New York Yankees catcher Gary Sanchez clubbed his fourth homer of the season in Tuesday's victory over Tampa Bay. Sanchez took a low-and-away sinker from Rays' reliever Josh Fleming the opposite way towards right for his second long-ball in three games. The 28-year-old backstop seems to be in more of an even split with backup […]

Aaron Judge Breaks Out Of Slump With Home Run

New York Yankees outfielder Aaron Judge went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Tuesday's 3-1 win over the Rays. Judge had been in the midst of a 5-for-29 stretch with no homers to start the month of May, but he wasted no time in busting out of it, homering on the first pitch he […]

Aroldis Chapman Shuts The Door Once Again

New York Yankees relief pitcher Aroldis Chapman notched his eighth save of the season on Tuesday night. Chapman shut the door on the Rays, working an easy ninth despite surrendering a walk. The hard-throwing southpaw remains a perfect 8-for-8 in save chances and still has yet to allow a run along with a ridiculous 30:5 […]

Jordan Montgomery Strikes Out Nine In Victory

New York Yankees starting pitcher Jordan Montgomery authored his best outing of the season in Tuesday's win over the Rays, his second victory of the year. Montgomery pitched six innings of one-run ball, allowing just two hits and a walk while striking out nine batters, matching his career-high. The 28-year-old southpaw induced 17 whiffs, nine […]

Aaron Hicks Scratched From Tuesday's Lineup

New York Yankees outfielder Aaron Hicks (shin) is a late scratch from Tuesday's lineup with a right shin bruise. Brett Gardner is taking over in center field with Clint Frazier in left. Hicks first suffered the injury in Sunday's game. He should be considered day-to-day at this point with a chance to return to the […]

Giancarlo Stanton Looking Like Former MVP Self

New York Yankees outfielder Giancarlo Stanton is looking more like the player that won the MVP with the Miami Marlins, when he led the majors with 59 home runs and the National League with a .631 slugging percentage. His batting average (.292) is his best in the first 30 games of a season in his […]

Luke Voit Activated From Injured List

New York Yankees first baseman Luke Voit (knee) was activated from the 10-day injured list on Tuesday and is set to make his season debut against the Tampa Bay Rays after he had surgery on March 29 to fix a torn meniscus in his left knee. The 30-year-old hit .389 (7-for-18) with two doubles and […]

Luis Garcia Strikes Out Seven In No-Decision

Houston Astros starting pitcher Luis Garcia pitched 5 1/3 innings, allowing three runs on five hits while striking out seven batters compared to three walks. Despite the three walks, Garcia displayed some excellent control throughout his start, as he generated a superb 37 percent CSW largely on the back of 26 called strikes. The 24-year-old […]

We're one week into the minor league season and there is no shortage of prospects getting off to hot starts to talk about. Seriously, it took me a while to whittle a list of just over a dozen guys down to only four. But I finally got it narrowed down to a couple of starting […]

Rougned Odor Taking Grounders

New York Yankees second baseman Rougned Odor (knee) took grounders on the field over the weekend. Odor is eligible to come off the injured list during the upcoming series against the Rays, though manager Aaron Boone did not commit to activating him then. The former Ranger seems to be progressing, though it might be a […]
