Luke Voit Should Be Good To Go Wednesday After Hit By Pitch

New York Yankees first baseman Luke Voit (hand) said that his hand is "a little swollen" after being hit by a pitch during Tuesday's win over the Rays. Voit added that he expects to be good to go for Wednesday's game. It was likely a scary moment for fantasy managers who had stashed Voit in […]

Yankees Plan To Play Wednesday Despite Third Positive Case

The New York Yankees are still planning to play Wednesday's game as scheduled despite a third positive COVID-19 case in their clubhouse. Third base coach Phil Nevin was announced as an earlier positive case- and the Yankees have said that first base coach Reggie Willits and a support staff member non-coach have also tested positive. […]

Gary Sanchez Goes Yard Tuesday

New York Yankees catcher Gary Sanchez clubbed his fourth homer of the season in Tuesday's victory over Tampa Bay. Sanchez took a low-and-away sinker from Rays' reliever Josh Fleming the opposite way towards right for his second long-ball in three games. The 28-year-old backstop seems to be in more of an even split with backup […]

Aaron Judge Breaks Out Of Slump With Home Run

New York Yankees outfielder Aaron Judge went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Tuesday's 3-1 win over the Rays. Judge had been in the midst of a 5-for-29 stretch with no homers to start the month of May, but he wasted no time in busting out of it, homering on the first pitch he […]

Aroldis Chapman Shuts The Door Once Again

New York Yankees relief pitcher Aroldis Chapman notched his eighth save of the season on Tuesday night. Chapman shut the door on the Rays, working an easy ninth despite surrendering a walk. The hard-throwing southpaw remains a perfect 8-for-8 in save chances and still has yet to allow a run along with a ridiculous 30:5 […]

Jordan Montgomery Strikes Out Nine In Victory

New York Yankees starting pitcher Jordan Montgomery authored his best outing of the season in Tuesday's win over the Rays, his second victory of the year. Montgomery pitched six innings of one-run ball, allowing just two hits and a walk while striking out nine batters, matching his career-high. The 28-year-old southpaw induced 17 whiffs, nine […]

Aaron Hicks Scratched From Tuesday's Lineup

New York Yankees outfielder Aaron Hicks (shin) is a late scratch from Tuesday's lineup with a right shin bruise. Brett Gardner is taking over in center field with Clint Frazier in left. Hicks first suffered the injury in Sunday's game. He should be considered day-to-day at this point with a chance to return to the […]

Giancarlo Stanton Looking Like Former MVP Self

New York Yankees outfielder Giancarlo Stanton is looking more like the player that won the MVP with the Miami Marlins, when he led the majors with 59 home runs and the National League with a .631 slugging percentage. His batting average (.292) is his best in the first 30 games of a season in his […]

Luke Voit Activated From Injured List

New York Yankees first baseman Luke Voit (knee) was activated from the 10-day injured list on Tuesday and is set to make his season debut against the Tampa Bay Rays after he had surgery on March 29 to fix a torn meniscus in his left knee. The 30-year-old hit .389 (7-for-18) with two doubles and […]

Luis Garcia Strikes Out Seven In No-Decision

Houston Astros starting pitcher Luis Garcia pitched 5 1/3 innings, allowing three runs on five hits while striking out seven batters compared to three walks. Despite the three walks, Garcia displayed some excellent control throughout his start, as he generated a superb 37 percent CSW largely on the back of 26 called strikes. The 24-year-old […]

Rougned Odor Taking Grounders

New York Yankees second baseman Rougned Odor (knee) took grounders on the field over the weekend.

Andujar appeared in three games for the Yankees, going 0-for-9 with a strikeout.

New York Yankees shortstop Gleyber Torres cranked his first home run of the season in Sunday's win over Washington. Torres went hitless in his first two at-bats of the day before sending a Joe Ross sinker 411 feet into the left-field seats at an exit velocity of 109 MPH for his first long ball of […]
