Chan Ho Park Close to Returning »
According to Chad Jennings of the Journal News , Yankees reliever Chan Ho Park , who has been on the DL with a hamstring issue, is close to returning to the Bronx after throwing a 45-pitch bullpen session on Monday. “He might get two (rehab games),” Joe Girardi said. “We’ll make a judgment after [...]
Juan Miranda Gets the Nod »
According to Joel Sherman , the Yankees have called up first baseman Juan Miranda for tonight’s game against the Detroit Tigers. Miranda, who bats lefty, will most likely platoon with Marcus Thames in the DH spot until Nick Johnson returns from his wrist injury. Miranda is off to a so-so start in Scranton this season, hitting .260 [...]
Yankee Nick Johnson on the DL Again…I Told You »
New York Yankee Designated Hitter Nick Johnson has been placed on the Disabled List for 15 days.I am not going to pretend to not be the guy who says, "I told you so". But you know what, I told you so!In an article here on Bleacher Report, I wrote that I couldn't imagine why the Yankees with all of the money in the baseball universe, would want to [...]
Dallas Braden-Alex Rodriguez Feud: Hypocrisy Runs Amok »
We thought the war of words from Dallas Braden and Alex Rodriguez was a one-time deal. It took a place when that game at Oakland in a few weeks ago ended. The day after that game, the Yankees carried it on by ripping Braden. Mark Teixeira, Derek Jeter and CC Sabathia called Braden out for being a whiner and a journeyman. That inspired Braden to [...]
Yankees-Tigers: Brennan Boesch Delivers for Tigers in »
Brennan Boesch tallied two hits and three RBI to help lead Detroit to a 5-4 win over New York Monday night at Comerica Park. Eddie Bonine (3-0) earned the win after pitching 2.1 innings of scoreless relief. Sergio Mitre (0-1) suffered the loss in his first start of the season. Playing in his first game against the Yankees, Boesch opened the [...]
Should Francisco Cervelli be the New York Yankees »
For much of the early 2010 season, long time Yankees catcher Jorge Posada has been banged up with a calf injury, and has had to miss some time for the team. For the Yankees, though, this hasn't been a major problem, due to the great play of backup catcher Francisco Cervelli. When the season started Cervelli really wasn't playing much, except for [...]
Yankees Recall Ivan Nova »
According to Donnie Collins of the Scranton Times-Tribune, the Yankees have called up right handed pitcher Ivan Nova from Triple-A Scranton. He will be replacing Romulo Sanchez, who was sent down. Sergio Mitre is making a start tonight in place of Andy Pettitte, who is being skipped in the rotation due to elbow pain, so the Yankees needed an extra [...]
New York Yankees: Post Boston Red Sox Series Thoughts »
Long-time American League East rivals, the New York Yankees and Boston Red Sox, battled it out in a three-game series at Fenway Park over the weekend. All three games were blowouts, as the Yankees took two of three from the Sox. The Yankees are now 21-9 on the season, and sit a mere half-game behind the Tampa Bay Rays in the division. New York has [...]
Could Joba Chamberlin’s Role Be Reversed Once »
While Joba has not regained his nearly unhitable form in the bullpen from 2007, he has stepped up for Mo in the past week. Joba has nailed down some saves, doing a good job in general with a 2.63 ERA. But with the pressure mounting on the Yankees to kick struggling starter Javier Vazquez out of the Bronx for good, the rumors are [...]
CC Sabathia’s Plunking Of Dustin Pedroia Was a »
During Friday night's New York Yankees-Boston Red Sox game, starting pitcher Josh Beckett hit Robinson Cano and Derek Jeter in the big eight run Yankee fifth inning. He also came close to Mark Teixeira and Francisco Cervelli in that same inning. After Jeter's plunking, I texted the guys from the Shore Sports Report , where I do a baseball [...]
