New York Yankees veteran starting pitcher CC Sabathia’s bounce-back month of June continued in Tampa Bay on Friday night as he pitched a solid game, ultimately getting handed a defeat against the Rays.

Week 13 Waiver Wire: H2H Category Streamers

I like to consider myself a pioneer of the streaming approach. I won a league about seven years ago completely ignoring saves and just stacking up the starts each week. While streaming is undoubtedly more directly associated with pitching, there's plenty of value in streaming for offense as well. Maybe you have a stacked roster […]

Although he’s been terrific for the entire season, Luis Severino is currently in an even better form than he was in the first two months of the campaign. The New York Yankees ace picked up his league-leading 11th victory on Thursday in a one-run victory over the Seattle Mariners. It was his third win in […]

New York Yankees pitcher Luis Cessa (oblique) has been reinstated to the team on Thursday. The pitcher had been placed on the disabled list on April 19.

Rookie Report: Recent MLB Prospect Call-Ups (Week 12)

At this point, we're just waiting for teams to start service clocks for their blue-chip prospects; we should see […]

Jonathan Loaisiga Struggles In Second Start

Coming off his encouraging debut against the Tampa Bay Rays which resulted in a victory, New York Yankees rookie Jonathan Loaisiga’s encore came against the Seattle Mariners. The 23-year-old, who kept the strikeouts, ground outs and fly outs at a consistent pace, once again did the same on Wednesday, although those numbers were lower. That's […]

Gary Sanchez Hits Game-Tying Home Run In Win

Attempting to successfully complete their biggest comeback of the season after going down five runs, the New York Yankees slowly fought back against the Seattle Mariners Wednesday night. Down by two in the eighth, Gary Sanchez stepped up as the tying run. The 25-year-old has had incredible struggles for most of the season that culminated […]

Jonathan Holder Remains A Menace Out Of Bullpen

That makes 20 consecutive appearances without an […]

Giancarlo Stanton And Yankees Walk Off Against Seattle

After all his struggles early on with the New York Yankees, slugger Giancarlo Stanton has slowly seen improvements at the plate during the month of June. Heading into Wednesday night’s game against the Seattle Mariners, he was hitting .269 across his last seven games, having hit three home runs during the stretch. In this game, […]
