Aaron Judge Takes On-Field Batting Practice

New York Yankees outfielder Aaron Judge (oblique) resumed on-field batting practice on Thursday at the team's spring training facilities, but he's taking his rehab day-by-day and isn't putting a timetable on his return. Judge strained his left oblique on April 20 but is now pain-free, and manager Aaron Boone said Wednesday that the slugger could […]

Didi Gregorius Returning Friday

New York Yankees shortstop Didi Gregorius (elbow) is expected to be activated from the injured list and return to the starting lineup on Friday against the Indians for his season debut. Gregorius is returning from Tommy John surgery last October and should be owned in all leagues as a potential difference-maker at the position. The […]

Gleyber Torres Out With Sore Shoulder

Updating a previous report, New York Yankees shortstop Gleyber Torres (shoulder) is out of the starting lineup on Thursday with a sore left shoulder. Manager Aaron Boone said that Torres could sit out on Friday as well. It doesn't sound like a serious injury, but the Yankees are giving Torres a bit of a rest […]

Brett Gardner Out Against Blue Jays

New York Yankees outfielder Brett Gardner is not in the starting lineup on Thursday. Cameron Maybin will get the nod in left field and will bat ninth against Blue Jays starting pitcher Edwin Jackson.

Gleyber Torres Getting The Day Off

New York Yankees shortstop Gleyber Torres is not in the starting lineup on Thursday.

Estrada has hit well in just 46 at-bats in 2019, slashing .304/.347/.565 with three homers and 11 RBI. However, he will have a […]

Dallas Keuchel to Yankees No Guarantee

Free agent starting pitcher Dallas Keuchel has mostly been linked to the New York Yankees of late, but the St. Louis Cardinals are among other teams with a chance at signing the 31-year-old. The Minnesota Twins and Atlanta Braves are also still connected to Keuchel, to a lesser extent. New York apparently remains the frontrunner, […]

Top 30 Impact Prospects for Redraft Leagues (Week 10)

It was a quiet week for prospect promotions and catcher Will Smith was the only position player who was promoted and stuck. He’s had some swing-and-miss to his game but he’s hitting .286 with a home run through his first 14 MLB at-bats. Jon Duplantier got another recall to The Show and was gifted with […]

DJ LeMahieu Drives In Four In Losing Effort

Despite their third straight loss, the New York Yankees got more invaluable production from their prized free agent acquisition, infielder DJ LeMahieu. The 30-year-old drove in four of his club's seven runs Wednesday night, as he tied the game with an RBI single in the fifth and later drilled a three-run, go-ahead blast in the […]

Gary Sanchez Smashes 19th Home Run

While the New York Yankees bullpen blew a late lead, the offense showed up once again, putting forth seven runs. At the helm of this production was catcher Gary Sanchez, as he continues his redemptive season following an abysmal 2018. Clearly the front-runner to start the All-Star game, the 26-year-old recorded two hits, including a […]

Zach Britton Collapses Late As Yankees Lose Again

The New York Yankees dropped their first series in 10 Wednesday night in Toronto as their vaunted bullpen blew a late lead. Zach Britton was at the center of the collapse, as he was handed a one-run lead in the eighth. He would go on to allow three runs, all coming off a three-run home […]

Troy Tulowitzki Sent Home

New York Yankees shortstop Troy Tulowitzki (calf) is no longer working out at the team's spring training complex and has been allowed to go home to "get over that (injury) hump and kind of push through the finish line of getting exactly right," manager Aaron Boone said. It's a setback and one that makes Tulo […]

Didi Gregorius To Be Eased Back In

The initial plan for when New York Yankees shortstop Didi Gregorius (elbow) returns from the injured list on Friday is for him to get one game off per series, according to manager Aaron Boone. Giovanny Urshela will mostly stay at third base, with Gleyber Torres and DJ LeMahieu rotating around the infield. Everyone will get […]

Aaron Judge Could Return For London Series Against Boston

New York Yankees outfielder Aaron Judge (oblique) could return in time for the London series against the Red Sox that starts on June 29, according to manager Aaron Boone.

Aaron Hicks Sitting Wednesday

New York Yankees outfielder Aaron Hicks is getting the day off Wednesday against the Toronto Blue Jays. This is a routine day off for Hicks, who will be available off the bench. It's been a slow start for the 29-year-old, who has hit just .224 with two home runs and has been striking out at […]
