Back from 3-4 trip, Yankees meet up with Tigers

The New York Yankees enjoyed a better than anticipated opening month, but they still are showing some inconsistency. They return home Friday for the opener of a three-game series against the Detroit Tigers following mixed results on a road trip to face the Milwaukee Brewers and Baltimore Orioles.

Yankees’ Aaron Boone throws a little shade at Gleyber Torres over error

The Yankees dropped another game to the Baltimore Orioles on Thursday afternoon, making it three losses in this week’s four-game series. Unfortunately, starting pitcher Carlos Rodon struggled, giving up eight hits and six earned runs, including three home runs, over just four innings.

Taking stock of the Yankees’ starting pitching options in the minors to see who may be the next man up.

In baseball, depth is not a luxury. It’s a necessity.

While the Yankees entered the season with a five-man starting rotation, it’s no secret that they’ll need more than that number of starting pitchers to make it through the 2024 season.

Last year, 12 different Yankees appeared...

Yankees 2, Orioles 7: Rodón, offense struggle in series finale

There weren’t many bright spots as the Yankees lost their third of four in Baltimore.

In Thursday afternoon’s series finale between the Yankees and Orioles, more than just a series split or loss was on the line for the Yankees. After bouncing back with a win on Wednesday, the Yankees had climbed back into a tie atop the AL East. Whoever won the final game would exit the series with clear control of the division in the early goings. It wouldn’t...

Can the Yankees split the series in Baltimore?

Luis Gil’s excellent start on Wednesday night finally got the Yankees on the board in Baltimore as they beat the Orioles, 2-0. The win also got them back even in the AL East race, setting up some stakes for this afternoon’s series finale. If the Yankees can win and split the four-game set, they’ll leave with the AL East lead. A loss would see them drop three of four to the O’s and leave...

The New York Yankees may be actively seeking infield reinforcements at the trade deadline this summer. With Gleyber Torres underperforming, posting a .215/.289/.248 batting line, the Yankees are confronting significant offensive weaknesses.

The Yankees have something special developing in the starting rotation

Despite losing ace Gerrit Cole to injury, the New York Yankees have shown strength in their pitching lineup this season. However, their offense has struggled to keep up, particularly evident in their recent series against the Baltimore Orioles, where they lost two out of three games.

Do the Yankees finally have their shutdown closer?

The New York Yankees have had a promising start to the 2024 season despite some inconsistencies in their offense. A key factor in their performance has been the stability provided by their closer, 31-year-old Clay Holmes, who has excelled in his role early in the year.

A ninth inning Bernie bomb helps Yanks overcome an early deficit.

The Yankees built upon their solid month of April, and opened the second calendar month of the season in style with a win over the Royals. A day after David Cone carried the load for the Yankees against his old friends in Kansas City, it was the bats that got the job done on May 2.

If you score eight runs in a win, there’s only one way to top it. (It’s with...

Rivalry Roundup: Kwan saves the day in Houston

Recapping how the Yankees’ top AL opponents fared on May 1st.

I was fortunate enough to be in attendance last night in Baltimore, when the Yankees took “Rivalry Roundup” into their own hands, in a sense. Behind outstanding pitching from Luis Gil and Clay Holmes as well as a well-placed dinger by Oswaldo Cabrera, New York nabbed a 2-0 victory, partially avenging the previous couple nights’ losses to the Orioles. They can complete said vengeance...

Tommy Gilligan-USA TODAY Sports

Looking for a Baltimore split.

Most nights, the Yankees will need to score more than two runs to win. Thankfully, last night was not one of those nights. The offense continues to look drowsy after their weekend eruption in Milwaukee, but Luis Gil and Clay Holmes did enough to make two runs stand up yesterday. If Carlos Rodón can shove today, as he did his last time out, the Yankees can get out of Baltimore with a split, a fine result particularly after...
