Williams’ heroics in the 10th allowed J.C. Escarra to walk it off in the bottom of the inning.
When Yankees skipper Aaron Boone called on Devin Williams to face the dangerous top of the Padres order in the 10th inning on Wednesday, I imagine there was a fair bit of trepidation around the fanbase. He had been booted from the closer role after effectively costing Yanks four wins through the first month, his ERA ballooning to 10.03 across his first 14...

The ol’ walk-off walk iced a win over the Devil Rays.
In their second consecutive series against a fellow AL East squad, the Yankees began a three-game set against the Devils Rays on a high note, winning the first game in the Bronx behind Andy Pettitte. Joe Torre’s dynastic club had already built a solid lead in the division at this point 25 years ago, and would continue in that direction with another win over the...

Recapping how the Yankees’ top AL opponents fared on May 8th.
The Yankees were off yesterday and so were three rivals in particular who we typically cover in the Rivalry Roundup. The Astros, Mariners, and Guardians all took a breather before their weekend series. We still have a few other teams to cover today though! Boston, Detroit, and Baltimore were all in action with the Tigers actually playing two, so here’s the review in case you took...

The Yankees are set to see some familiar faces in their first trip to Sacramento.
After facing the Rays at their own spring training/Low-A ballpark last month, this weekend the Yankees will play a series at a minor-league facility for the second time this season. As they await an anticipated move to Las Vegas, the Athletics are citizens of nowhere. They’re playing their home games this season at Sutter Health Park in West Sacramento, home...

Recapping the Yankees’ minor-league affiliates’ results from May 8th.
Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders: Rained out vs. Rochester Red Wings; this one won’t be made up since they already had a doubleheader schedule for Saturday and teams aren’t in the interest of playing any back-to-back doubleheaders
Double-A Somerset Patriots: L, 0-5 at Akron RubberDucks
3B Dylan Jasso 1-4, K — Patriots fell in a five-hit shutout
2B George Lombard Jr. 0-4, K — second game at the...

The Yankees take on the A’s tonight not in Oakland, but West Sacramento.
We hope that you’re revving up on coffee, soda, or other forms of caffeine today because the Yankees have a West Coast swing to start tonight. They’ll begin with the opener of a three-game set with the Don’t-You-Dare-Accidentally-Call-Them-Oakland Athletics, who are in their first of at least three years of playing at a semi-converted minor-league ballpark in West...

Early trade deadline predictions; Stanton keeps swinging; The next great reliever from Triple-A?; Carrasco outrighted
MLB.com | Mark Feinsand: We get an early look at some of the top potential trade chips for July’s deadline. Sandy Alcantara and Luis Robert Jr. are at the top of many execs’ lists, and while Miami’s right-hander makes a lot of sense for a battered Yankee rotation, his slow start to the year raises a lot of eyebrows. The 2022 NL Cy Young...
The New York Yankees have made a significant move regarding their top prospect and the future of the organization. George Lombard Jr. was promoted to Double-A Somerset this week, setting up his career for the ultimate test and showcase. It was only a matter of time until Lombard advanced further in the farm system.
Carrasco is still a solid strike-thrower and a highly respected veteran, so the Yankees would presumably be happy to keep him in the organization.
The New York Yankees outrighted right-handed pitcher Carlos Carrasco to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Thursday, two days after they designated him for assignment.

The crack of the bat and the sound of a goal horn make for the two most exciting postseasons in North America.
While the Major League Baseball season is still in its early stages and teams are jockeying for position within their respective divisions and leagues, two of the four major sports are undergoing their postseason runs. The National Hockey League and the National Basketball Association are both witnessing teams battle back and forth for...
The Yankees had the upper hand in a matchup of current and former stars.
Coming off a series win over Baltimore, the 2000 Yankees opened up a three-game set with another division rival as the Devil Rays visited the Bronx. On a warm Monday night, we got an intriguing pitching matchup: on one side, Andy Pettitte, a left-hander in his prime trying to re-establish himself as one of the game’s best, and on the other Dwight Gooden, a fading former star trying wring a few more quality...

The Bombers walked off the Padres on a day when most of their rivals around the AL were also victorious.
Now that was one helluva series win! After the back-breaking loss to the Padres in the series opener, the Yankees fought back from deficits in each of the final two games to steal a series from the second-best team in baseball. I can’t think of better way to seal the series dub than an extra-innings walk-off for one of the best stories in baseball in...
The New York Mets poaching Juan Soto was the year’s biggest story. Cross-town kings at 161st and River were heartbroken and angry. How could the New York Yankees replace a generational superstar in Soto?

For several minutes during Wednesday’s game against the Padres, the Bronx hosted a massive Knicks watch party.
For my brother and I, Yankee Stadium is basically our third home. First is, of course, our actual home, the place where we grew up. In second comes Villanova, where we both went to school and watched Jalen Brunson, Josh Hart, Mikal Bridges, and Donte DiVincenzo bring home a pair of championships.
But after...

Rolling into an offday.
The Yankees last night risked a repeat of their series in Baltimore last week: a dominant win in the second game of a three-game set sandwiched and overshadowed by frustrating losses on either end. Instead, they pulled out another rousing victory, with Trent Grisham delivering the game-tying blow and J.C. Escarra earning himself a wonderful moment with a walk-off sacrifice fly. New York enters an off-day with a 2.5-game lead in AL East as...
