We have a solid early slate on our Saturday with five of the 16 games getting underway just after lunch. The first game of the Braves/Mutts twin bill at CitiField is in this one, and since it was a scheduled day/night twin bill, we get the regularly scheduled game in the main slate. I love […]

Aaron Judge Hits 22nd Homer

New York Yankees outfielder Aaron Judge took Miami Marlins starter Jesus Luzardo deep on Friday night. Judge homered on August 8th when the Yankees won 7-1 against the White Sox and homered in the win against Miami on Friday. As Judge goes, the Yankees and fantasy lineups go. The large righty has homered every 9.73 […]

Anthony Volpe Homers Friday Night

New York Yankees shortstop Anthony Volpe went 1-for-3 with a home run and three RBI against the Miami Marlins. The youngster also walked twice, giving him five over his last four games. He has hit lefties better than righties this season, though his homers per at-bat are close against both side pitchers. His OPS, however, […]

Frankie Montas Not Expected To Return This Year

New York Yankees right-hander Frankie Montas (shoulder) remains in a throwing program at the team's minor-league complex in Florida, and it doesn't sound as though he's going to make it back to the big leagues in 2023. Montas hasn't made any significant progress since having arthroscopic surgery on his right shoulder way back in February. […]

Nestor Cortes Won't Throw For 3-4 Weeks

New York Yankees left-hander Nestor Cortes (shoulder), who landed on the 15-day injured list on Friday, said he won't throw for the next three to four weeks, but he's still hoping to return this year. "It's definitely tough. If we're going to make a run at it, we need everyone healthy, not only myself but […]

DJ LeMahieu Still Not Ready To Return

New York Yankees infielder DJ LeMahieu (calf) remains sidelined for Friday's contest against the Miami Marlins. With LeMahieu resting again, utility man Isiah Kiner-Falefa will start at the hot corner and bat leadoff for the Yanks against Marlins left-hander Jesus Luzardo. LeMahieu was scratched from Wednesday's lineup with right-calf tightness and will remain off the […]

Nestor Cortes Goes Back On Injured List

The New York Yankees placed left-hander Nestor Cortes (shoulder) on the 15-day injured list (retroactive to Aug. 8) on Friday with a left rotator-cuff strain and recalled right-handers Jhony Brito and Randy Vasquez from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre in corresponding moves. Cortes looked good in his first start back from the injured list last Saturday, but he'll […]

DJ LeMahieu Scratched On Wednesday

New York Yankees infielder DJ LeMahieu (calf) has been scratched from Wednesday's starting lineup against the Chicago White Sox. It appears the 35-year-old is dealing with left calf tightness, so the team will play it safe and hold him out of this game. Isiah Kiner-Falefa will move over to third base with Oswaldo Cabrera being […]

Anthony Volpe Getting A Rest Day

New York Yankees rookie shortstop Anthony Volpe is taking a day off on Wednesday against the Chicago White Sox. Isiah Kiner-Falefa will instead start at shortstop and bat eighth in the order against White Sox right-hander Mike Clevinger. It's a regular day of rest for Volpe, who could really use the rest. The 22-year-old has […]

Luis Severino Not Starting Wednesday

New York Yankees right-hander Luis Severino will not serve as the traditional starter on Wednesday against the Chicago White Sox, with the Yankees choosing instead to use Ian Hamilton as an opener. The expectation is that the struggling Severino will be used as the bulk reliever after Hamilton goes an inning or two. Chicago has […]

Omar Martinez Fuels Big Week With Three-Homer Game

New York Yankees catching prospect Omar Martinez signed with the club out of Venezuela back in 2018. While the intention has always been to solidify his skills as a catcher, New York actually let him pitch 1.2 innings out of the bullpen back in 2021. He struck out three batters, indicative of a strong arm […]
