DJ LeMahieu Slugging Just .267 In July

New York Yankees infielder DJ LeMahieu has been one of the more disappointing hitters in all of fantasy this year. Over 88 games, he's slashing .269/.348/.363 with seven home runs, three stolen bases, 37 RBI and 47 runs.

Trey Amburgey Day-To-Day

New York Yankees outfielder Trey Amburgey (hamstring) is considered day-to-day. Amburgey exited Sunday's matchup against the Red Sox after injuring his right hamstring.

Trey Amburgey Suffers Leg Injury On Sunday

New York Yankees outfielder Trey Amburgey (leg) exited Sunday's outing against the visiting Red Sox.

Ryan LaMarre Heading To The Majors

New York Yankees outfielder Ryan LaMarre is projected to start on Sunday during the series finale against the Boston Red Sox.

The 32-year-old hasn't done anything noteworthy during his brief stint with the big […]

Greg Allen Expected To Enter Starting Lineup

New York Yankees outfielder Greg Allen is expected to start on Sunday against the Red Sox. With Tim Locastro (knee) and Aaron Judge (COVID-19) both on the shelf, the 28-year-old may spend some additional time with the big club moving ahead. Although he has played relatively well in Triple-A, especially on the base paths, he […]

Brett Gardner Not In Sunday’s Lineup

New York Yankees outfielder Brett Gardner isn't starting on Sunday night against the Boston Red Sox.

Luis Severino's Bullpen Session Scratched Due To Weather

New York Yankees starting pitcher Luis Severino (shoulder, groin) had his scheduled bullpen session scratched due to inclement weather Saturday.

The plan is for the right-hander to throw two more sessions before playing […]

Corey Kluber Could Throw Bullpen By End Of Next Week

New York Yankees starting pitcher Corey Kluber (shoulder) could toss a bullpen session by the end of next week.
