Tyler Wade Posts Another Multi-Hit Game

For the second time in three games, New York Yankees infielder Tyler Wade showed the club what he can do at the plate. Starting at shortstop for a resting Didi Gregorius, the 23-year-old batted ninth, picking up two hits and scoring a run in what would ultimately be a 6-5 loss to the Cleveland Indians […]

Domingo German’s Early Woes Still Define Him

One key part of the game continues to be the weakness of New York Yankees starter Domingo German. The 25-year-old allowed four runs in the first two innings of Friday’s game against the Indians, setting up yet another loss. German’s problems early in the game have been deadly, as he now sports a 7.20 ERA […]

Didi Gregorius is Not Starting on Friday

New York Yankees shortstop Didi Gregorius (rest) is not in the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Cleveland Indians. This looks like a normal day off for Gregorius, while Tyler Wade draws the start at shortstop and bats eighth ninth against righty Shane Bieber. Wade is struggling heavily with the bat this season and […]

Jacoby Ellsbury Hasn't Resumed Baseball Activities

New York Yankees outfielder Jacoby Ellsbury (hip) still hasn't resumed baseball activities, and manager Aaron Boone won't speculate on when that will change. Ellsbury hasn't played all year and doesn't appear close to returning. At this point, neither the Yankees nor fantasy owners should expect him back in 2018. Even if he were to return […]

Aroldis Chapman Won't Pitch In All-Star Game

New York Yankees closer Aroldis Chapman (knee) will not pitch in the All-Star game next week and is hoping to get some extra rest for his left knee. However, he will be available Friday night. Chapman had a slight knee scare last week but is fine and recorded a save for the Yanks on Thursday. […]

Miguel Andujar Mashes Another Extra-Base Hit Thursday

New York Yankees third baseman Miguel Andujar went 2-for-3 on Thursday against the Cleveland Indians, and one of those hits was the 23-year-old's 27th double of the year. Andujar has been a revelation for the Yankees at the hot corner. He is now eighth on the doubles list for this season, and just eight doubles […]

Greg Bird Continues To Pile On The RBI On Thursday

New York Yankees first baseman Greg Bird has been a run-producing machine as of late, and his streak continued on Thursday against the Cleveland Indians. Squaring up against Indians ace Corey Kluber — who wasn't at his best on Thursday — Bird launched a huge double in his second at-bat that scored Giancarlo Stanton and […]

Week 16 Waiver Wire: H2H Category Streamers

I like to consider myself a pioneer of the streaming approach. I won a league about seven years ago completely ignoring saves and just stacking up the starts each week. While streaming is undoubtedly more directly associated with pitching, there's plenty of value in streaming for offense as well. Maybe you have a stacked roster […]

You know what it is--it's my updated starts/sits column for Week 15! Your friendly neighborhood @Roto_Dubs is back again this year with his weekly starting pitcher matchups. This is our fifth year now writing this weekly column, helping fantasy baseball managers pick the best pitchers weekly. Below are the projected starting pitching matchups for Week 15, and […]

Aroldis Chapman Gets 25th Save Thursday

New York Yankees closer Aroldis Chapman notched his 25th save of the season Thursday against the Cleveland Indians. He struck out Rajai Davis, then got Yan Gomes to pop out and Brandon Guyer to groundout to secure the win for the Yankees. Chapman has 67 strikeouts to 15 walks. He is still one of the best […]

Aaron Hicks' Big Hit Leads To Victory

Late in Thursday’s game between the Cleveland Indians and the New York Yankees, the clubs were tied at four runs. Indians ace Corey Kluber was still on the mound when Aaron Hicks stepped up with one on in the eighth. The 28-year-old would put on a terrific plate appearance, fouling off numerous pitches before drilling […]

Didi Gregorius Torments Corey Kluber Once Again

In the decisive Game 5 of last season’s ALDS, New York Yankees shortstop Didi Gregorius got the best of Cleveland ace Corey Kluber, smashing two home runs off the former Cy Young winner en route to victory. Thursday night, the teams once again did battle in Ohio and Gregorius once again got the best of […]

Brett Gardner Goes Yard Twice In Victory

With Luis Severino far from his usual self on the mound, the New York Yankees would once again have to rely heavily on offense to pick up a victory. Taking on the Cleveland Indians on the road, the unit was spearheaded by leadoff man Brett Gardner, whose two home runs and three RBI led the […]

Luis Severino Ineffective In No-Decision

In what was supposed to be a duel between two of the finest pitchers in the American League, the New York Yankees and Cleveland Indians would end up in a home run battle. Yankees ace Luis Severino would only go five innings in one of his worst outings of the year. There were some alarming […]

Gleyber Torres Resumes Running

New York Yankees second baseman Gleyber Torres (hip) has resume running and was pain-free. Torres has been one of the best all-around rookies in baseball this year with his .294/.350/.555 slash line and 15 home runs, 42 RBI and 30 runs in 63 games. His fantasy owners can't wait to get him back in their […]

Gary Sanchez Could Begin Rehab Assignment Sunday

New York Yankees catcher Gary Sanchez (groin) could begin a rehab assignment on Sunday, according to manager Aaron Boone. Sanchez continues to work his way back from a groin issue that has forced him out of action since June 25. Sanchez should be ready to rejoin the Yankees after the All-Star break, assuming he begins […]

Tyler Wade Sitting, Neil Walker Back In Thursday

New York Yankees second baseman Tyler Wade will sit on Thursday against Corey Kluber and the Cleveland Indians. Neil Walker will man second base in his stead. Giancarlo Stanton returns to the designated hitter position while Aaron Judge, Brett Gardner, and Aaron Hicks round out the outfield. Austin Romine will be behind the plate and […]

Yankees, Orioles Not Close On Deal For Manny Machado

Baltimore Orioles star third baseman Manny Machado has been the subject of many a rumor as we get closer to the trade deadline, with the most recent being one linking him to the New York Yankees. It was previously reported that the Yankees had made a substantial offer to the Orioles for Machado. Now, according […]

Yankees Have "Inquired" About Zack Wheeler

According to a report by Senior MLB Writer Marc Carig, the New York Yankees have "recently inquired" about New York Mets starting pitcher Zack Wheeler. The Yankees have long been frontrunners to be "buyers" at the trade deadline, and one of their targets has been starting pitching. They've been linked to the likes of Cole […]

Rookie Report: Recent MLB Prospect Call-Ups (Week 15)

I'm glad I led off last week's article with Kyle Tucker because the Astros made me look great. They called him up this past weekend and it looks like it's going to take a small adjustment period for Tucker to get adjusted to MLB pitching. We'll get to that later. The calendar turning to July seems […]

Trading Up: Mid-Tier and Bargain Targets for the Second Half (Offense)

This article is the second in our series on trade targets for the second half of the season. Part 1 focused on players generally ranked in the top 50. This installment focuses on offensive players ranked outside the top 50. Part three will focus on pitchers. After that, we'll focus on players to target for […]

Tyler Wade Picks Up Three Hits In Start

While in the minors with Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre last month, New York Yankees infielder Tyler Wade took a page out of teammate Brandon Drury’s book and spoke of his frustrations of being stuck in the minors. On Wednesday, the 23-year-old recorded three hits in a start at second base and even launched his first career home […]

Greg Bird Hits Second Homer In As Many Days

Could New York Yankees first baseman Greg Bird be on the comeback trail? The 25-year-old’s last couple of games certainly make it seem that way. On Wednesday night in New York’s easy victory over the Orioles, he delivered just one hit, his first career grand slam which busted the game wide open. He now has […]

Sonny Gray Salvages Baltimore Series For Yankees

Heading into Wednesday’s series finale at Camden Yards, the New York Yankees were hoping to avoid an embarrassing series loss to the Baltimore Orioles, and they sent perhaps their most inconsistent starters to the mound. Sonny Gray, however, delivered exactly the performance his club needed, firing six shutout innings and striking out eight in the […]

Brett Gardner Fourth All Time On Yankees Stolen Base List

New York Yankees outfielder Brett Gardner stole his 250th base on Wednesday and it moved him to fourth on the all-time list of Yankees base stealers. He only needs two more to pass Willie Randolph for third place. Unfortunately, he had an 0-for-3 day to go along with that stolen base. Nonetheless, Gardner is having […]

Giancarlo Stanton’s Hot July Continues Wednesday

New York Yankees outfielder Giancarlo Stanton continued his great play in July with a 4-for-5 day on Wednesday. The Yankees went on to win against the Baltimore Orioles, 9-0, and Stanton provided four singles, two of them run-scoring. The outing raised his July batting average to .310. There will be some ugly strikeouts with Stanton […]

Yankees Have Made Strong Offer For Manny Machado

The New York Yankees have made a strong offer for Orioles shortstop Manny Machado, according to sources. It's unknown if the Yanks are the favorites for Machado, however. Machado is the big trade piece available at this year's deadline, and he won't come cheap, even for a potential rental. He's hitting a robust .314/.385/.574 with […]

Tyler Wade Back In Lineup, Neil Walker Sitting Wednesday

New York Yankees second baseman Tyler Wade will be back in the lineup on Wednesday against the Baltimore Orioles. Neil Walker will sit the game out. Austin Romine will be behind the plate again and catch for Sonny Gray. Aaron Judge will serve as designated hitter. The Yankees will face off against Dylan Bundy, who […]
