A new week in September awaits.
A sweep was not to be, with the Yankees offense again going to sleep and squandering a chance to take three in a row in Chicago. Thanks to the Rays’ win in Baltimore, though, they remain in first place, and can expand that lead with a strong showing at home this week. Carlos Rodón will try to start that effort tonight in a matchup with Brady Singer.

Gerrit Cole and Jameson Taillon remain close friends; Aaron Boone reacts to Nestor’s comments; Austin Wells has become a defensive force; Duke Ellis optioned
MLB.com | Bryan Hoch: Yesterday’s matchup between the Yankees and Cubs saw a good ol’ fashioned pitchers’ duel between Gerrit Cole and Jameson Taillon. The game meant more than usual to the two pitchers, however, who not only were teammates with the Pittsburgh Pirates and the New York Yankees, but are also extremely close...
Duke Ellis will find himself back in Scranton as the Yankees have chosen to send him back down to Triple-A, which will open up room on their 26-man roster for Jon Berti.
Baseball is a game of patience, not panic.

Anthony Rizzo returns to the Yankees lineup, then to Wrigley Field.
It’s Sunday once again, and you know what that means — it’s time for our weekly social media roundup! As students throughout the country returned to school this week and Yankee fans lamented the Martian’s continued absence from the Bronx lineup, the Yankees been up to on social media?

Gerrit Cole and the Yankees’ pitching were outstanding once again in Sunday’s loss.
We were bombarded most of the game with photos and anecdotes about Gerrit Cole’s close friendship with Cubs starter Jameson Taillon. While the two are certainly friends off the field, they seemed engaged in some one-upsmanship at Wrigley Field, both spinning strong starts — although the Yankee fan in me gives Cole more credit for skill and Taillon less because of how...
Nestor Cortes, the New York Yankees‘ left-hander, expressed his disappointment after the team moved him from the starting rotation to the bullpen for his latest outing against the Chicago Cubs.

A pair of two-time teammates square off to close out the series on the North Side
After three pretty disappointing series against middling to bad teams, the Yankees could sure use a sweep, and being only 0.5 games up on the Orioles entering play, every win counts. Fortunately, they have their best on the mound as they look for a third-straight win over the Chicago Cubs, with Gerrit Cole squaring off against his best friend in the game, former Yankee Jameson...
While all of the focus for the Yankees should be on 2024, they’re also not too far away from having to address their plans for 2025. Regardless of whether
Days before Opening Day, the Yankees would acquire Jon Berti from the Marlins to shore up the infield. Unfortunately, the speedy infielder has been unable to make much of an impact due to various lower-body injuries that have held him back all season.
Anthony Rizzo has been an integral part of the New York Yankees since joining the ball club in 2021, and by his own admission, he doesn’t want that to change any time soon.
The Yankees‘ bullpen is in dire need of support, especially with closer Clay Holmes leading the league with 11 blown saves this season. On Saturday, manager Aaron Boone made a strategic move by deploying Nestor Cortes as a key bullpen arm to relieve Clarke Schmidt.
The New York Yankees relegated Nestor Cortes to bullpen duty on Saturday to back up recently activated Clarke Schmidt.

In light of the Babe’s “called shot” jersey being auctioned off for a staggering $12.6 million, which novelty items from Yankees history would be the coolest to have?
The Yankees are dominating in one way where their presence is always felt: the memorabilia market. Babe Ruth’s “called shot” jersey from Game 3 of the 1932 World Series was sold at auction last week for $24 million. It shattered a world record for...
The Yankees‘ bullpen, once a top-five unit in the league, has seen a significant drop in performance over the past few months. After maintaining a stellar bullpen ERA for much of the season, the Yankees have now fallen to 12th place with a 3.83 ERA.
Nestor Cortes did what was required of him to help the New York Yankees defeat the Chicago Cubs on Saturday by pitching out of the bullpen, but he wasn't…
Mariano Rivera’s 40th save helped New York take down KC 9-5
As New York entered this game in Kansas City, skipper Joe Torre was a bit concerned. Throughout the ‘99 campaign, the Bronx Bombers tended to play down to the their opponents, in Torre’s estimation. (Sound familiar?)
Having already tried various approaches, Torre spoke to the club before first pitch, asking them why they thought they’d failed to get up for some games. Everyone agreed this game was a big one, and Tino...
After recording back-to-back shutouts, the New York Yankees will aim for a sweep of their three-game series against the host Chicago Cubs on Sunday afternoon.
