Gleyber Torres Diagnosed With A Right Elbow Contusion

New York Yankees shortstop Gleyber Torres (elbow) was diagnosed with a right elbow contusion after being hit with a fastball early in Thursday’s game. Encouragingly, X-rays on Torres’s elbow came back negative, so the 23-year-old is unlikely to require a stint on the IL. Still, Torres is likely to miss at least a couple of […]

Gleyber Torres Leaves Game Early

New York Yankees shortstop Gleyber Torres (elbow) was removed from the game in the bottom of the fourth inning on Thursday. Torres was hit in the elbow by a 95 mph fastball in the top of the first inning and was looked at by trainers before staying in the game for one more at-bat. It’s […]

Gleyber Torres Hurt After Being Hit In His Right Elbow

New York Yankees shortstop Gleyber Torres required an extended period of rest after being hit in the elbow with a 95 mph fastball on Thursday. Torres stayed in the game as a baserunner following the pitch but was clearly in pain after being hit and was looked at by trainers. It’s encouraging that Torres was […]

Miguel Andujar, Luke Voit In Lineup Thursday

New York Yankees infielder/outfielder Miguel Andujar and first baseman Luke Voit are in Thursday's lineup against the Baltimore Orioles. Andujar is in left field batting ninth while Voit will bat sixth against lefty John Means, who is making his 2020 debut. Voit has gotten off to a slow start, as he's just 1-for-10, though his […]

Trevor Gott (RP, SF) - Week 2 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 2% of leagues ANALYSIS: Personally, as a fellow alum of the University of Kentucky and resident of Lexington, Kentucky, it would be hard for me not to harbor some excitement regarding Trevor Gott (just ask Jason Kipnis, James Paxton, Luke Maile, Taylor Rogers, and Evan White). However, it's […]

DJ LeMahieu Collects Four Hits

New York Yankees second baseman DJ LeMahieu picked up four hits in five at-bats against the Orioles on Wednesday. LeMahieu is showing no signs of slowing down after batting .327 last season, and the 32-year-old has yet to swing-and-miss this season. LeMahieu hasn’t been getting lucky so far this year, either; his xBA on Wednesday […]

Gary Sanchez Remains Hitless

New York Yankees catcher Gary Sanchez extended his hitless streak to four games on Wednesday, with eight strikeouts over his first 12 at-bats. Contact has been an issue for Sanchez so far this year with a 33% swinging-strike rate coming into Wednesday’s game, and although frustrating, the 27-year-old hasn’t reported any injuries or reason for […]

Aaron Judge Hits His First Home Run Of The Season

New York Yankees outfielder Aaron Judge broke out of a brief home run outage with a 105 mph blast against the Orioles on Wednesday. Judge took a paltry .167/.167/.250 slash line into Wednesday’s game, but the 28-year-old’s power remains in-tact with a 97.8 mph average exit velocity for the young season. Judge doesn’t appear to […]

Gerrit Cole Pitches Well On Wednesday

New York Yankees starting pitcher Gerrit Cole pitched well against the Orioles on Wednesday, allowing three runs with seven strikeouts over 6.2 innings. Cole may have underperformed expectations against a weak Baltimore lineup, but his performance was nothing to scoff at and raised no red-flags for his rest of season performance. Cole’s next start is […]

J.A. Happ Set For Season Debut Thursday

New York Yankees starting pitcher J.A. Happ will finally make his season debut Thursday against the Baltimore Orioles. After a couple of postponements earlier this week, the Yankees rotation and schedule has mixed itself up, pushing Happ’s debut back. The veteran southpaw is a viable streaming option versus an O’s offense that struck out against […]

Masahiro Tanaka On Track To Start Saturday

New York Yankees right-handed pitcher Masahiro Tanaka has been announced as the team’s starting pitcher for Saturday’s game against the Boston Red Sox. Tanaka is fortunate to be pitching in 2020 in any capacity after taking a line drive off the side of his head at the hands of Giancarlo Stanton during Summer Camp. The […]

Red Alert: Luis Robert's 115.8 MPH Smash Means Something

In the hullabaloo of MLB’s opening weekend, you may not have noticed that Luis Robert of the Chicago White Sox — he of the .337 ISO at Triple-A Charlotte — announced his presence with authority on Friday night. In the second inning of his MLB debut, Robert strode to the plate, stood 60 feet and six inches […]

Jordan Montgomery To Start This Weekend Versus Red Sox

New York Yankees starting pitcher Jordan Montgomery is expected to toe the rubber sometime during the team's weekend series versus the Red Sox. The southpaw was originally supposed to face the Phillies on Wednesday, but the postponement of the Yankees games on Monday and Tuesday have pushed their starters back. Montgomery's hype-train was gaining steam […]

Gerrit Cole To Take Mound On Wednesday Against Orioles

The New York Yankees are reworking the order of their starting rotation in response to the two games being cancelled this week. Gerrit Cole is now scheduled to pitch on Wednesday against the Baltimore Orioles, assuming the game is played. J.A. Happ will then follow him up and make his season debut on Thursday. The […]

Gerrit Cole To Start On Wednesday

New York Yankees starting pitcher Gerrit Cole will start against the Orioles on Wednesday, and J.A. Happ will start on Thursday. The Yankees had their schedule altered with the Phillies postponing their games due to a coronavirus outbreak, and the team is shifting its rotation around as a result. Cole should have no trouble dominating […]

Points League Waiver Wire Pickups - Week 2

There is no getting around that playing head-to-head points with weekly matchups is a difficult proposition in a 60-game season. There are only 10 weeks to play so that makes for a regular-season made up of just five or six matchups. Obviously, that will be a roller coaster of insanity for any leagues keeping the […]
