Jonathan Holder Implodes In Blowout Loss

The first man out of the New York Yankees bullpen was Jonathan Holder on Thursday night after CC Sabathia managed just three innings. Taking on the Boston Red Sox at Fenway Park, the 25-year-old easily had his worst outing of the season, allowing seven runs without recording a single out. The woeful performance saw his […]

Chance Adams Could Start For Yankees Saturday

After New York Yankees starting pitcher CC Sabathia only provided the Yankees with three innings in Thursday night’s defeat to the Red Sox, the club would eventually trot out Luis Cessa. The problem with that appearance for Cessa is that he was initially brought back to the majors to start Saturday afternoon’s game in light of […]

CC Sabathia Only Lasts Three Innings In Fenway Park No-Decision

Early on Thursday night at Fenway Park, the New York Yankees seemed poised for a victory, having scored the first four runs of the game. Starting pitcher CC Sabathia, however, really labored on the mound, never truly finding his rhythm. Ultimately, he would last only three innings, surrendering two runs on three hits and four […]

Lance Lynn Entering Rotation

New York Yankees starting pitcher Lance Lynn, who was acquired from the Twins this week, will slide into the rotation following the demotion of Sonny Gray to the bullpen. Lynn threw 4 1/3 scoreless innings in relief of Gray on Wednesday and struck out five in 71 pitches. The right-hander might not be much better […]

Sonny Gray Being Demoted To Bullpen

New York Yankees starting pitcher Sonny Gray has been told he's being demoted to the bullpen. The move comes as a surprise, though not completely unexpected. Gray was terrible in his last start, allowing seven runs to a Baltimore Orioles team that is pretty much devoid of strong talent. Gray had shown flashes this season, […]

Luke Voit Starting, Gleyber Torres Cleaning Up Thursday

New York Yankees outfielder Luke Voit will start and serve as the designated hitter for Thursday's game against the Boston Red Sox. The Yankees traded for Voit before the deadline in July. Second baseman Gleyber Torres will bat fourth in between shortstop Didi Gregorius and third baseman Miguel Andujar. Outfielder Brett Gardner will bat ninth […]

Aaron Judge Spotted Doing Agility Drills On Thursday

New York Yankees outfielder Aaron Judge (wrist) is making small steps towards returning to the lineup on Thursday. Before the Yankees game against the Boston Red Sox, Judge was seen doing agility drills on the field at Fenway Park. He reportedly wore a wrap on his hand. Judge himself said he was "feeling better as […]

Giancarlo Stanton Has Feasted On The Red Sox This Season

New York Yankees outfielder Giancarlo Stanton is hitting a respectable .277 with 24 home runs and 64 RBI this season. He's been in a bit of a rut the last seven days, going just 4-for-23, but a matchup against the rival Boston Red Sox might be just what the doctor ordered on Thursday. Against the […]

J.A. Happ Going On DL

New York Yankees starting pitcher J.A. Happ (illness) will go on the disabled list on Thursday after contracting hand, foot and mouth disease. Happ should only miss his start this weekend against the Red Sox. The veteran left-hander is 11-6 on the year with a 4.05 ERA, 1.15 WHIP and very useful 9.9 K/9 in […]

Rookie Report: Recent MLB Prospect Call-Ups (Week 18)

The calendar has turned to August and we still have yet to see some of the big-name prospects that were expected to come up this season. Yes, Kyle Tucker, Willie Calhoun, Juan Soto, and Willy Adames have all made their debuts this season but I seriously doubt that we will see any more of the […]

Kevin Gausman To The Braves - Fantasy Implications

With so many big-name players changing teams this trade deadline Kevin Gausman may fly under the radar. On the surface, he doesn’t look like much, with a 5-8 record and 4.43 ERA, 1.38 WHIP, and 7.55 K/9 in 21 starts with Baltimore this season. However, this move to Atlanta could be exactly what Gausman needs […]

Yankees Calling Up Luke Voit, Luis Cessa

The New York Yankees will call up first baseman Luke Voit and pitcher Luis Cessa, according to a source. Cessa may be taking the roster spot of starting pitcher J.A. Happ (illness), who has come down with hand, foot and mouth disease. He has a 3.10 ERA on the year and could make a spot […]

Sonny Gray Could Be Bumped From Rotation

New York Yankees manager Aaron Boone isn't ruling out removing starting pitcher Sonny Gray from the rotation. Gray allowed eight hits and seven earned runs in just 2 2/3 innings against the lowly Orioles on Wednesday to raise his ERA for the year to 5.56. A career-high 3.92 BB/9 isn't helping his cause. It's an […]

Gleyber Torres’ Two Home Runs Not Enough Wednesday

After New York Yankees starting pitcher Sonny Gray’s failure on Wednesday afternoon, the Yankees found themselves in a significant hole that they would not be able to maneuver out of. While the bullpen kept the Baltimore Orioles in check the rest of the way, the offense fell just short. In the ninth, rookie All-Star Gleyber Torres […]

Austin Romine Comes Up Small In Embarrassing Loss

Before former New York Yankees All-Star catcher Gary Sanchez sustained and later aggravated a groin injury, many fans of the Yankees were calling for backup catcher Austin Romine to become the starter. After all, Sanchez was struggling and Romine was excelling. Now, however, as the starter in Sanchez’s absence, the 29-year-old is proving he may not […]

Neil Walker Highlights Yankees RISP Failures

The New York Yankees have really struggled with the based loaded this past month. Heading into Wednesday afternoon’s game against the Baltimore Orioles, the offense had gone 19 straight plate appearance with the bases loaded without a hit. After Miguel Andujar finally broke that streak in the eighth inning of Wednesday’s game, Neil Walker would […]

Lance Lynn Stops Bleeding In Yankees Debut

After New York Yankees starting pitcher Sonny Gray made a mess of his start against the Baltimore Orioles on Wednesday afternoon in the Bronx, the team called on starter Lance Lynn to make his club debut. Acquired before the trade deadline from the Minnesota Twins, the 31-year-old was brought to the club to be a reliever, which […]

Sonny Gray Knocked Around By Lowly Orioles

Having defeated the Baltimore Orioles three times already this season, New York Yankees starter Sonny Gray sought his fourth on Wednesday afternoon but failed miserably. The 28-year-old lasted just 2 2/3 innings in the Bronx, getting booed off the field after surrendering seven runs on eight hits. Things seemed to be headed in a much […]

Yanks Optimistic J.A. Happ Can Make Next Start

New York Yankees manager Aaron Boone is "still optimistic" that starting pitcher J.A. Happ (illness) can make his next start Saturday against the Red Sox. Happ's illness isn't serious -- Noah Syndergaard recently just missed one start with the same illness -- but you probably wouldn't want to use the lefty a less than full […]

Neil Walker Not In Lineup Wednesday

New York Yankees infielder Neil Walker will not be in the lineup Wednesday against the Baltimore Orioles. Walker has actually been swinging a hot bat with nine hits over his last 18 at bats but will get the day off in this contest. Greg Bird is handling first base while Giancarlo Stanton is the designated […]

Miguel Andujar's Home Run Blows Game Open

New York Yankees rookie third baseman Miguel Andujar has been the team's best hitter average-wise, and he once again came up big Tuesday night in a victory over the Baltimore Orioles. The 23-year-old tripled his club’s lead in the fifth inning with a three-run home run, effectively putting the game away. It was the only hit […]

Masahiro Tanaka Overcomes Shaky Opening For Win

New York Yankees starter Masahiro Tanaka endured a shaky opening to his start Tuesday night in the Bronx against the Baltimore Orioles. Taking on the division’s last-place team, the 29-year-old threw over 30 pitches in the opening frame, hitting a batter and walking another before escaping. From that point forward, Tanaka was significantly better, ultimately […]

J.A. Happ May Miss Saturday Start

New York Yankees starting pitcher J.A. Happ (illness) has contracted hand, foot and mouth disease and could be forced to miss his next start on Saturday against the Red Sox. It's a bummer after Happ was fantastic in his debut with the Yanks over the weekend against the Royals, but his fantasy owners probably aren't […]

Austin Romine Sitting, Kyle Higashioka Starting Tuesday

New York Yankees catcher Austin Romine will sit on Tuesday for the start of the team's series against the Baltimore Orioles. Backup catcher Kyle Higashioka will get the start behind the plate in Romine's stead. Neil Walker is once again in the lineup, this time as designated hitter. Brett Gardner, Giancarlo Stanton, and Aaron Hicks […]

Yankees Looking At Jose Bautista

The New York Yankees are looking for a right-handed bat and have spoke to the Mets about outfielder Jose Bautista. The Mets won't just give him away, though, and trades involving the Mets and Yankees are always tricky, so it doesn't seem likely to happen. Joey Bats is batting only .216 overall, but he still […]
