Outfield Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 11

Managers can easily make decisions to affect their team positively, but often they're too hesitant, cautious, or even scared.

We look at the matchups and other variables to […]

Brett Gardner Requires Stitches For Lip

Gary Sanchez, Luke Voit Sitting Out Saturday

New York Yankees catcher Gary Sanchez and first baseman Luke Voit are not in the starting lineup on Saturday. Austin Romine is catching and batting ninth, while Kendrys Morales will serve as the designated hitter and hit sixth against Indians starting pitcher Adam Plutko. Morales will be the slightly more appealing deep DFS sleeper in […]

Dellin Betances Suffers Setback

New York Yankees relief pitcher Dellin Betances (shoulder) was too sore to throw a bullpen session on Friday and will have his right shoulder examined by team doctor Chris Ahmad on Monday. Betances has been out all season and doesn't have a timetable for a return at this point. The hard-throwing right-hander typically doesn't see […]

Masahiro Tanaka Placed On Paternity List

The New York Yankees placed starting pitcher Masahiro Tanaka on the paternity-leave list on Saturday and recalled reliever Nestor Cortes from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre in a corresponding move. Tanaka will miss his scheduled start against the Indians on the road on Sunday as a result, but he shouldn't miss any more turns after that. The Japanese […]

Sauceda's Slants: Folding Aces

There are very few Fantasy experiences more pleasing than hitting on a late-round sleeper or sneaky waiver acquisition — not unlike the experience of finding a twenty-dollar bill in your pocket that you had completely forgotten. When landing these types of players, common refrain tends to be, “sell high!” But for anyone who’s played in […]

New York Yankees manager Aaron Boone said that outfielder Giancarlo Stanton (calf) is "close" to a rehab assignment, but there is no date yet.

Masahiro Tanaka May Miss Sunday Start

With New York Yankees starting pitcher Masahiro Tanaka back in New York for the birth of his child, he may be forced to miss his start on Sunday on the road against the Indians.

New York Yankees shortstop Didi Gregorius (elbow) is hitting fifth and playing shortstop against Indians starting pitcher Zach Plesac on Friday in his season debut.

Thairo Estrada Optioned To Minors

The New York Yankees optioned infielder Thairo Estrada to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Thursday night in order to make room for shortstop Didi Gregorius (elbow), who will come off the injured list and make his season debut on Friday.

After New York Yankees reliever Chad Green loaded the bases to begin the bottom of the ninth, manager Aaron Boone was forced to summon closer Aroldis Chapman.

Giovanny Urshela Goes Yard As Playing-Time Decision Looms

The New York Yankees' infield is about to get a little more crowded and none of the current members are willing to give an inch. With Didi Gregorius set to return Friday in Cleveland following Tommy John surgery, third base will become the lone spot without a clear starter. Giovanny Urshela, who has excelled since […]

Aaron Hicks Blasts Yankees Past Toronto

With J.A. Happ taking care of business on the mound, the New York Yankees offense pushed out six runs as they won their first game after dropping three straight, 6-2. The biggest hit of the night came off the bat of outfielder Aaron Hicks, who delivered his third home run of the season in the […]
