Miguel Andujar Sent Down To Minors

New York Yankees infielder/outfielder Miguel Andujar was sent down to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre following Sunday's game. Andujar appeared in three games for the Yankees, going 0-for-9 with a strikeout. With Luke Voit (knee) expected to return for Tuesday's series opener against the Rays, this looks like a corresponding roster move with the former's activation off the […]

Gleyber Torres Belts First Homer Of Season

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 […]

Giancarlo Stanton Delivers Game-Winning Hit

New York Yankees designated hitter Giancarlo Stanton went 1-for-3 with a pair of walks and an RBI in Sunday's victory over the Nationals. Stanton earned free passes in each of his first two trips to the plate, then later stepped up to the dish in the bottom of the ninth with runners on first and […]

Domingo German Earns Third Quality Start

New York Yankees starting pitcher Domingo German notched his third quality start of the season in Sunday's 3-2 victory over the Nationals. German pitched 6 1/3 innings, surrendering a pair of runs on five hits while striking out six batters with one walk. The 28-year-old right-hander cruised through six innings with an economic pitch count […]

Gio Urshela Likely To Play In Upcoming Series Against Rays

New York Yankees third baseman Gio Urshela (knee) is expected to play in the upcoming series against the Rays, per manager Aaron Boone. Urshela has missed three games, including Sunday, since injuring his left knee in Thursday's game against the Astros. The team will see how he feels after their scheduled off-day on Monday before […]

Luke Voit Expected To Return Tuesday

New York Yankees first baseman Luke Voit (knee) is expected to make his return to the lineup on Tuesday against the Rays. Voit has looked good in his first game action with the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders, as he's compiled five hits, two home runs, and a pair of walks in four rehab games for the Triple-A […]

Aaron Judge Sitting On Sunday

New York Yankees outfielder Aaron Judge is not in the lineup for Sunday's game against the Nationals. Manager Aaron Boone said that the team is being "proactive" with Judge and trying to get him a day off before he plays on the turf at Tropicana Field- a field known for its unforgiving surface- on Tuesday […]

Outfield Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 7

We have completed another week of MLB action, and we have once again been littered with injuries. Both good and bad things arise from injuries. Let's start with the bad, which means losing a player, sometimes a key player from your roster. The good is a chance to add a new player, and certain players […]

Two-Start Pitcher Streamers: Week 7

Man there has been a lot of crazy stuff going on in baseball this past week. You would think that John Means throwing the third no-hitter of the season would be the biggest story of the week, but the very next day you have future Hall-of-Famer Albert Pujols get designated for assignment in the midst […]

Fantasy Baseball Injury Updates - Week 7

We continue to see a barrage of injuries in the majors, with an emphasis on soft tissue injuries. These injuries include oblique, groin, hamstring, and back injuries. Not all of the injuries are the same for each player and should be treated and evaluated on a case-by-case basis. They should not be lumped together. Key […]

Kyle Higashioka Goes Yard Saturday

New York Yankees catcher Kyle Higashioka swatted his fifth home run of the season in Saturday's 4-3 win over the Nationals. Higashioka's homer was the first hit of the game for the Yankee offense, as Max Scherzer had retired the first seven batters of the game before allowing the long ball. The 31-year-old backstop owns […]

Gleyber Torres Delivers Game-Winning Hit

New York Yankees shortstop Gleyber Torres went 2-for-5 with a pair of RBI in Saturday's extra-innings victory over the Nationals. Torres struggled mightily against Nationals' ace Max Scherzer, as he struck out three times against the veteran right-hander. The Yankee shortstop still left his mark on the game later on, as he came up huge […]

Corey Kluber Fans Six In No-Decision

New York Yankees starting pitcher Corey Kluber was solid despite a no-decision in Saturday's win over the Nationals. Kluber pitched 5 2/3 innings, allowing a pair of runs on six hits while fanning six batters compared to three walks. The veteran hurler wasn't nearly as good as he was in his last outing, though he […]

Luke Voit Could Return To Yankees Early Next Week

New York Yankees first baseman Luke Voit (knee) could be activated from the injured list and join the team by early next week, according to Pete Caldera of the Bergen Record. Manager Aaron Boone said that Voit is scheduled to play seven innings at first base in a rehab game on Saturday, and will be […]

Aaron Hicks Gets A Breather Saturday

New York Yankees outfielder Aaron Hicks will take a seat on the bench for Saturday's game against the Nationals. Hicks was able to suit up for Friday's game after being bothered by cramps a couple of days ago against the Astros- which suggests that Saturday's day off is just routine unless the Yankees say otherwise. […]

Gio Urshela Remains On The Bench Saturday

New York Yankees third baseman Gio Urshela (knee) remains sidelined on Saturday. Urshela is considered day-to-day and has yet to suit up in the two games since injuring his left knee. With a game on Sunday and a scheduled off-day on Monday, it wouldn't be surprising to see the Yankees hold Urshela out and then […]

Early Plate Discipline Standouts

In 2019, I introduced a new (yet simple) statistical metric which focuses on the core ingredients of plate discipline. The Weighted Plate Discipline Index (wPDI) looks at the following basic binary events: Was the ball thrown in the zone? Was the ball swung on? Did the batter make contact with the ball? Weighted Plate Discipline […]

Return to Form: Veteran Pitchers to Believe In

We're always told that you can't teach an old dog new tricks, but sometimes I think we're selling old dogs short. With increased age brings wisdom and the know-how to attack life's problems in new ways. Nowhere is that likely more the case than with MLB pitchers. Often young pitchers are prone to relying simply […]

Gary Sanchez Goes Yard In Friday's Loss

New York Yankees catcher Gary Sanchez went 1-for-3 with a home run and a walk in an 11-4 loss to the Nationals on Friday night. Sanchez has been in a tough stretch lately and has started losing playing time to fellow backstop Kyle Higashioka- though he swatted a much-needed homer off of Patrick Corbin. The […]

DJ LeMahieu Belts Two Homers Friday

New York Yankees infielder DJ LeMahieu went 3-for-4 with a pair of solo home runs in Friday's loss to the Nationals. LeMahieu had superb career numbers against Patrick Corbin coming into the game- and continued that trend, as he homered, singled, then homered again in each of his first three at-bats against the southpaw. The […]
