Untimely double plays and strikeouts prevented the Yankees from winning a home series against Oakland.
Fresh off rejuvenating back-to-back victories, the Yankees looked primed from the get-go on Thursday night to avenge their lifeless loss to Oakland on Monday with a series victory. Instead, it turned out to be a return to frustrating form for the offense, underscored by two bases-loaded double plays and 11 strikeouts, ended in a 3-1 defeat at the...

A battle of lefties in the Bronx as the Yankees seek to secure a series win
Entering the 2024 season, it was fair to wonder whether the Yankees would get the Nestor Cortes who was an All-Star in 2022 or the one who struggled through a disappointing and injury-marred season last year.
So far, we’ve seen both. In three of his starts, in Houston, Arizona, and Cleveland, he’s been scorched to the tune of a 7.07 ERA. In his two home starts, against...
The New York Yankees announced today that they have claimed reliever Michael Tonkin off of waivers from the New York Mets. He was originally designated for assignment earlier in the month, with the Minnesota Twins picking him up as a waiver claim.

The hulking righty isn’t exactly what you might think he is.
Ahead of today’s series finale with the Athletics, the Yankees added some bullpen depth via veteran righty Michael Tonkin, a waiver claim from the Mets. To make room on the 40-man, minor-league arm McKinley Moore was DFA’d.
Tonkin, 34, is one of the biggest men in baseball at 6-foot-7 and a lithe — for that height — 220, giving him a tremendous downward plane. He’s a bit of a...

The Yankee second baseman has slumped before. Will he recover this time around?
In the 2023 Major League season, 46 different players tallied 25 or more homers. Thus far in 2024, nearly all of them have added to their totals once again, save for a few. Two-time All-Star and Silver Slugger Nick Castellanos, former MVP runner-up Alex Bregman, a 1:1 draft pick in Spencer Torkelson, and Yankees’ second baseman Gleyber Torres have not put one in the...

Baseball has changed, and there should be additions to the YES booth that reflect it.
Five pitches into Monday’s afternoon game against the A’s, in a now-somewhat infamous moment, manager Aaron Boone was ejected after the umpire, Hunter Wendelstedt, mistook a heckle from a fan as a verbal jab from the Yankees dugout. Watching it unfold on the broadcast, I became curious about Wendelstedt: Is he typically this stubborn?...

On the day they dedicated a monument to No. 5, No. 51 walked off the Blue Jays in the 11th.
In the grand scheme of things, exactly where you sit in the standings in the month of April isn’t that big of a deal. With the postseason still months away and so much changing on a day-to-day basis, it’s much more important to simply bank as many wins as possible and put yourself in a good spot for the start of the summer.
Even so, any time you start a...
The 2024 season has gotten off to a strong start, with the New York Yankees sitting atop the American League East at 17-8 through their first 25 games.
New York Yankees manager Aaron Boone quipped about experiencing a "warm and fuzzy" feeling after seeing Aaron Judge and Juan Soto each hit a home run in the same game for the first time in pinstripes.
The New York Yankees have secured back-to-back victories against the Oakland Athletics, capped by a seven-run outburst on Wednesday that was primarily fueled by the top of the batting order.
Just before the start of the 2024 regular season, the New York Yankees bolstered their infield by acquiring Jon Berti from the Miami Marlins. Initially stepping in to cover third base during DJ LeMahieu’s absence, Berti’s stint was cut short due to a groin injury that landed him on the 10-day injured list.
New York Yankees senior vice president and general manager Brian Cashman discussed the addition of Soto, who has thrived in his first month in New York.
Every season there’s a prospect that seemingly comes out of nowhere to break out and emerge in the Yankees’ organization. Stemming from young players who get a shot at full-season play and flourish to Minor Leaguers who just click and find something in their swing or pitch mix that allows them to perform at a much higher level.

Recapping how the Yankees’ top AL opponents fared on April 24th.
Last night was exactly what the Yankees hoped for when they traded for Juan Soto in December. Both he and Aaron Judge homered, and they got a bomb from another valued slugger in Anthony Rizzo as the A’s fell in the Bronx, 7-3. To be direct: more of this, please! Hell, simply scoring in multiple innings was appreciated.
That’s what went on in the Bronx, but here’s what else...

The 2022 Platinum Glove recipient had a down year defensively by his standards last year, but has once again become the pitch framing king of baseball.
Ever since the Yankees acquired Jose Trevino from the Texas Rangers in the days leading up to Opening Day in 2022, his calling card has been his work behind the plate. On the back of a league-best 17 catcher framing runs and a 53.8-percent strike rate, the veteran catcher took the starting job in early...

Your Thursday open thread.
The first two games of this series with Oakland demonstrated what we already knew about baseball: on any given day, any last-place team can hang with any first-place team. Yesterday, we finally got some welcome catharsis after two tense games, with Aaron Judge going deep and the Yankees easily handling the lowly A’s the way we’d all like them to. They can cinch a series win tonight as they send Nestor Cortes to the mound...

Judge is on the brink; Torres says he’s locked in; Waldman and Cavnar get a chance to connect; new mural featuring legendary Black players
FanGraphs | Jay Jaffe: Aaron Judge’s start to 2024 has been underwhelming. Over the last two seasons, he’s established himself as the best hitter in the game. Expectations are sky high, and for good reason. Jaffe’s thorough analysis of the various aspects of Judge’s offensive profile comes out with a positive...

An offensive outburst and strong bullpen work help the Yankees coast to a win over the A’s.
A big day for Juan Soto, consistent production up and down the Yankees’ lineup, and shutdown bullpen performances helped New York cruise to a 7-3 victory over the Oakland A’s. Thankfully, the Bronx Bombers realized that it was a good strategy to score runs in more than just one inning, denting home plate in five of their eight possible frames on Wednesday...
Aaron Judge hit a two-run homer in the first inning after nearly striking out and the host New York Yankees recorded a 7-3 victory over the Oakland Athletics on Wednesday night.
