Jordan Montgomery Pitches Well On Thursday
New York Yankees starting pitcher Jordan Montgomery had a solid outing on Thursday, tossing 5 1/3 innings of three-run ball with eight strikeouts and no walks. Montgomery’s changeup generated an impressive nine whiffs (27 pitches) in the game, and his 17% swinging-strike rate for the game was unusually impressive. Montgomery still owns an uninspiring 5.11 […]
Gary Sanchez Narrowly Misses Home Run In Pinch-Hit Appearance
New York Yankees catcher Gary Sanchez crushed a 104.5 mph fly ball with a .880 xBA that landed in the glove of outfielder Lourdes Gurriel Jr. in a pinch-hit appearance on Thursday, bringing Sanchez’s batting average down to a paltry .142 for the season. Sanchez’s 36% strikeout rate pops out as a major issue for […]
Kyle Higashioka Encroaching On Gary Sanchez’s Playing Time
New York Yankees catcher Kyle Higashioka drew the start at catcher Thursday over Gary Sanchez, even with left-hander Jordan Montgomery on the mound. Higashioka has become Gerrit Cole’s personal catcher as of late, but manager Aaron Boone made it clear that Higashioka may be seeing more time behind the dish heading into the postseason. While […]
J.A. Happ Makes Final Regular Season Start Friday
New York Yankees left-handed pitcher J.A. Happ will take the hill Friday versus Miami, marking his final start of the 2020 regular season. After opening the year with back-to-back starts of four runs allowed, Happ has compiled a 1.93 ERA over his last six starts. With one final strong performance, Happ can likely clinch his […]
Aaron Judge Absent From Thursday’s Lineup
New York Yankees outfielder Aaron Judge is being held out of Thursday’s starting nine against Toronto as the club attempts to keep him healthy heading into the postseason. Brett Gardner will be in the lineup, while Clint Frazier holds down right field in Judge’s absence. Judge has gone just 5-for-25 with five singles since returning […]
Clarke Schmidt Set For First MLB Start Sunday
New York Yankees right-handed pitcher Clarke Schmidt is in line to make the first start of his big league career Sunday versus Miami. Schmidt, ranked as the club’s No. 2 prospect per MLB Pipeline, has appeared twice out of relief this season and allowed three hits, three walks and two runs in 2 ⅓ frames. […]
Sloppy Defense Results In Poor Start From Masahiro Tanaka
New York Yankees starting pitcher Masahiro Tanaka allowed five runs (three earned) over four innings against the Blue Jays on Wednesday. The New York defense committed three errors behind Tanaka on Wednesday, making the 31-year-old’s start more difficult than it should have been. Tanaka’s performance under the hood was solid with a 14% swinging-strike rate […]
Giancarlo Stanton Returns To The Lineup On Wednesday
New York Yankees designated hitter Giancarlo Stanton is back in the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Toronto Blue Jays. Stanton sat out on Tuesday as Aaron Judge got the start at designated hitter. Stanton is hitting third in the lineup in Wednesday's game, behind Judge and in front of Luke Voit. Stanton has played […]

Gio Urshela Collects Four Hits On Tuesday
New York Yankees third baseman Gio Urshela went 4-for-5 with a double, a run, and a pair of RBI against the Blue Jays on Tuesday. Urshela now owns an impressive .896 OPS for the season, and he’s done it with a .323 xBA and a .398 xwOBA that both support his strong performance. The New […]
Aaron Hicks Picks Up Two Hits On Tuesday
New York Yankees outfielder Aaron Hicks went 2-for-4 with a triple and his third stolen base of the season on Tuesday. Hicks filled up the box score with three RBI and a pair of runs to add on to his production, and Tuesday’s performance brought his OPS up to .795 for the season. Hicks has […]
Gerrit Cole Picks Up Third Straight Win
New York Yankees starting pitcher Gerrit Cole ended his regular season on a high note with a seven-inning, one-run, seven-strikeout performance against the Blue Jays on Tuesday. Cole’s victory on Tuesday was his third in as many starts and his ninth consecutive start with at least seven strikeouts. Tuesday was also Cole’s 10th start (12 […]
Yankees Option Michael King To Alternate Site
New York Yankees pitcher Michael King was optioned to the team’s alternate site on Tuesday. King was rocked for five runs over 2.2 innings in a spot start on Monday, and he’s likely done for the season as a result of Tuesday’s roster move. King posted a 7.76 ERA over 26.2 innings this season, and […]
Giancarlo Stanton On Bench Tuesday
New York Yankees outfielder Giancarlo Stanton is not in the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the Toronto Blue Jays. The 30-year-old slugger will continue to rotate in and out of the lineup to keep him fresh for the postseason. In his absence, Brett Gardner will start in left field and bat eighth while Aaron […]
Adam Ottavino Tosses Scoreless Inning
New York Yankees relief pitcher Adam Ottavino threw a scoreless inning with no baserunners allowed and two strikeouts against the Blue Jays on Monday. Two poor outings from earlier this season have pushed Ottavino’s ERA up to 6.06 for the season even with Monday’s strong performance, but his swinging-strike rate is down at 8.5%, in […]
Michael King Struggles On Monday
New York Yankees pitcher Michael King allowed five runs over only 2 2/3 innings against the Blue Jays on Monday. A third inning that saw the Blue Jays string together four hits did King in, leading to reliever Jonathan Loaisiga coming in and allowing two of King’s runners to score. Despite his poor results, King […]
Kyle Higashioka Set To Continue Catching Gerrit Cole
New York Yankees catcher Kyle Higashioka appears to be the personal catcher for right-handed pitcher Gerrit Cole for the foreseeable future. Higashioka will be behind the plate Tuesday when Cole faces Toronto, whom Higashioka throttled for three home runs last Wednesday. Even with the playoffs on the horizon, it appears that Gary Sanchez will either […]
Domingo German Out Of Equation Until 2021 Season
New York Yankees right-handed pitcher Domingo German was eligible to return off of the restricted list come the start of the 2020 postseason, but manager Aaron Boone confirmed Monday that the club will not have time to ramp him up, with an eye toward his return coming in ‘21. In addition to being suspended for […]
Michael King Rejoins Rotation To Start Monday
New York Yankees right-handed pitcher Michael King will make the start Monday versus Toronto, as the club had waited to officially tab him.

Luke Voit Increases Home Run Lead To Three
New York Yankees first baseman Luke Voit clubbed his 21st home run of the season on Sunday, widening his league-wide lead in home runs to three. Voit has been spectacular this season despite a nagging foot injury, and his performance has been well-supported by a .628 xSLG. Voit’s 27% HR:FB is probably unsustainable given that […]
Deivi Garcia Allows Six Runs On Sunday
New York Yankees starting pitcher Deivi Garcia struggled on Sunday, allowing six runs over only three innings against the Red Sox at Fenway Park. Garcia left a handful of pitches over the heart of the plate, and the Red Sox jumped on him for 10 hard-hit balls as a result. Sunday’s performance brough Garcia’s ERA […]
