Dellin Betances Dealing With Lat Strain

New York Yankees relief pitcher Dellin Betances (lat) is rehabbing a "low-grade" right lat sprain and has been shut down for a couple of weeks.

Giovanny Urshela Sits Out on Thursday

New York Yankees third baseman Giovanny Urshela (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Thursday's game against the Chicago White Sox.

Pitching two days later than originally scheduled due to the birth of a daughter, New York Yankees starter Masahiro Tanaka wasn't great, but pitched well enough to earn a victory. The 30-year-old went 6 2/3 innings, allowing four earned runs on seven hits. An early three-run home run put him in a hole, but his […]

New York Yankees infielder Giovanny Urshela was the leader of the offense Tuesday afternoon at Yankee Stadium as the home club took down the crosstown rival New York Mets.

New York Yankees starting pitcher Luis Severino (shoulder) was tossing from 60 feet on Tuesday. Severino has yet to pitch in 2019 and won't return to the Yankees rotation until after the All-Star break.

New York Yankees shortstop Gleyber Torres is not in the starting lineup for the first game of a doubleheader on Tuesday.
