Aaron Judge Could Return Before Wrist Fully Heals
Injured New York Yankees outfielder Aaron Judge has begun to increase baseball activities and could very well be back before his injury completely heals.

Aroldis Chapman Receives Another Injection
New York Yankees closer Aroldis Chapman (knee) received a second platelet-rich plasma injection in his knee, but manager Aaron Boone said it was part of the original plan.

Didi Gregorius Works Out Tuesday
New York Yankees shortstop Didi Gregorius (heel) hit in the cages on Tuesday and took ground balls as well. He is set to do work in the weight room and could run on the field on Wednesday. Gregorius could return as soon as Sept. 3. He's been great for his fantasy owners this year with […]

Aaron Judge Still Not Swinging
New York Yankees outfielder Aaron Judge (wrist) has still not resumed swinging a bat. Judge's fantasy owners are beginning to get stir crazy, as the slugging outfielder was initially expected to be sidelined only three weeks when he was injured on July 26. At this rate, there's chance he won't be ready until mid-September. Brett […]

Gary Sanchez Homers In Rehab Game
New York Yankees catcher Gary Sanchez (groin) went 2-for-4 with a home run for Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Monday. It's a good sign and shows that he's close to returning to the big leagues.

Gleyber Torres Smacks 20th Home Run In Loss
New York Yankees rookie infielder Gleyber Torres is finally escaping the depths of the terrible slump that struck him when he returned from the disabled list a month ago.

Masahiro Tanaka Stumbles Late For Fifth Loss
Heading back to the Bronx riding a four-game winning streak, New York Yankees starter Masahiro Tanaka failed to extend the streak Monday night against the Chicago White Sox.

Rodon has pitched very […]

Aaron Judge Still In Holding Pattern
New York Yankees outfielder Aaron Judge (wrist) remains in a holding pattern a month after being hit by a pitch. Manager Aaron Boone said Judge hasn't been able to swing a bat. "Same stuff.
