Luis Severino To Start Throwing Soon

New York Yankees starting pitcher Luis Severino (shoulder) is likely to resume throwing soon, according to manager Aaron Boone. Severino won't return before the All-Star break, but it's good to see him making progress from a Grade 2 strain of his right lat. The 25-year-old proved last year that he can be an ace in […]

Giovanny Urshela Sitting Out on Wednesday

New York Yankees third baseman Giovanny Urshela (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Baltimore Orioles. Urshela was dealing with a groin injury, but returned to the lineup on Monday. DJ LeMahieu will bat leadoff and cover third base against righty Dan Straily. LeMahieu is a strong fantasy option for […]

Giancarlo Stanton Suffers Another Setback

The New York Yankees returned outfielder Giancarlo Stanton (calf) from his rehab assignment with High-A Tampa with left calf tightness and placed him back on the 10-day injured list. Injuries continue to be a problem for the slugging 29-year-old, and he hasn't played in a major league game since March 31. It's unclear when he'll […]

Giancarlo Stanton Scratched From Rehab Game Tuesday

New York Yankees outfielder Giancarlo Stanton (calf, knee) was scratched from the lineup for High-A Tampa on Tuesday with tightness in his calf/knee, according to manager Aaron Boone. However, Boone said that Stanton might be able to play on Wednesday, so it doesn't seem to be a serious setback after the slugger was hit by […]

Clint Frazier Breaks Out With Two Home Runs

Entering Tuesday's game against the Baltimore Orioles, New York Yankees outfielder Clint Frazier had been struggling. While he was batting .324 with six home runs and 17 RBI through his first 18 games of the season, an ankle injury sidelined him. Since he returned from injury, he was batting a measly .105 entering Tuesday, but […]

Domingo German Now At Nine Victories

Entering Tuesday night as the majors' wins leader, New York Yankees starter Domingo German extended his lead as his club coasted to an 11-4 victory. The 26-year-old wasn't quite sharp on the night, but with extensive run support, he didn't need to be at the top of his game. He went just five innings, laboring […]

Gary Sanchez Stays Hot With Home Run

Just as he capped off Monday night's game with a three-run home run, New York Yankees catcher Gary Sanchez kicked off Tuesday's game with a blast. The former All-Star drilled another three-run home run in the first inning, essentially putting the game away early. The Yankees would double their lead two innings later and coasted […]

DJ LeMahieu Leaves After Foul Ball Off Foot

New York Yankees infielder DJ LeMahieu (foot) exited Tuesday's game early after fouling a ball off of his foot in the sixth inning. The move was likely precautionary, as the Yanks were off to an 11-3 lead, but look for an update after the game. Lemahieu stayed hot in this one, going 3-for-4 with a […]

James Paxton Nearing Return

New York Yankees starting pitcher James Paxton (knee) said he "felt nothing" on Tuesday after going through another bullpen session. The left-hander, who has been sidelined since May 4 with left knee inflammation, added that he will likely have a three-inning simulated game on Friday. If all goes well he could return to the lineup […]

Masahiro Tanaka On Track For Next Start

New York Yankees starting pitcher Masahiro Tanaka (shin) is scheduled to make his next start on Thursday against the Orioles. Tanaka took a liner off his shin in his last outing over the weekend and had to leave the game early. The Japanese right-hander has been very solid this year, going 3-3 with a 3.09 […]

Nicky Lopez - Welcome to the Show!

Amidst a week headlined by the call-ups of top prospects Keston Hiura, Brendan Rodgers and Austin Riley, it was easy to miss the Royals’ promotion of middle infielder Nicky Lopez. However, Lopez has wasted no time proving he warrants to be fully on our fantasy radars just like the rest of the bunch. Lopez has […]

J.A. Happ Has Tough Outing Against Orioles

J.A. Happ lasted just 3 2/3 innings and gave up six runs against the Orioles on Monday. Lucky for the lefty, the Yankees offence managed to bail him out with a late-inning comeback. These are discouraging results for Happy as he has given up 13 home runs in 52 1/3 innings this season. This is […]

Gary Sanchez Hits Go-Ahead Home Run in Ninth Inning

Gary Sanchez continues his clutch hitting for the Yankees, hitting the go-ahead three-run home run in the top of the ninth inning against the Orioles. The Yankees stormed back from a five-run deficit to stun the Orioles on Sanchez's three-run blast. This is Sanchez's thirteenth home run and sixth against the Orioles this season so […]

Gleyber Torres Hits Two Home Runs in Win Over Orioles

Gleyber Torres continues to be one of the bright spots on an injury-riddled Yankees team. He knocked out two home runs tonight at Camden Yards, raising his total to 10 on the year. This adds to his torrid pace in May, boasting a .340/.386/.585 slash line. Torres will be a big part of the offence […]

Troy Tulowitzki Willing To Change Positions For Yankees

Troy Tulowitzki approached the Yankees and told them he would be willing to play positions other than shortstop. This is a desperation move for Tulowitzki, as he will be blocked from his regular shortstop position by the return of Didi Gregorius. He has never played a position other than shortstop in his career, but he […]

J.A. Happ Struggles Vs O's Again

New York Yankees starting pitcher J.A. Happ gave up six earned runs in 3 2/3 innings Monday night in Baltimore. Happ has now faced the Orioles four times this season and given up 15 earned runs in 17 1/3 innings vs one of the league's worst offenses. He's failed to complete the sixth inning in […]

Giancarlo Stanton Homers In Minor League Game

New York Yankees outfielder Giancarlo Stanton (biceps) hit a solo home run in a minor league rehab assignment for High-A Tampa. Stanton struck out in his first at-bat and played right field for the Tampa Tarpons. Stanton has been on the Injured List since April 1 with a strained bicep and shoulder issues but could […]

Giovanny Urshela is Back on Monday

New York Yankees third baseman Giovanny Urshela (groin) is back in the starting lineup for Monday's game against the Baltimore Orioles. Urshela left Sunday's game after a foul ball hit him in the groin. It appears that he's fine and no injured list stint is needed here. He'll play third base and bat seventh versus […]

Aaron Judge Did Some Running on Monday

New York Yankees outfielder Aaron Judge (oblique) was able to do some running on Monday, which is a good step in his recovery from a strained oblique he suffered last month. However, Judge has not been cleared the swing a bat yet, so his timetable to return is still unclear. Judge should quickly be able […]

Dellin Betances Throws For Second Straight Day Monday

New York Yankees relief pitcher Dellin Betances (shoulder) threw off flat ground for the second straight day Monday. He threw from 90 feet on Sunday and 105 feet on Monday and will continue to throw for three more days in order to build up arm strength. The 31-year-old, who has yet to see any action […]

Giancarlo Stanton Headed To Tampa For Rehab Assignment

New York Yankees outfielder Giancarlo Stanton (biceps) has been placed in Tampa on a rehab assignment beginning on Monday. The slugger has not played since March 31 after straining his left biceps muscle. Last season, his first in the Bronx, Stanton clubbed 38 home runs and drove in 100 runs while playing in 158 games. […]
