The end for Alex Rodriguez is near.
After he recently admitted to his role in the Biogenesis scandal, Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Ryan Braun was suspended for the rest of the season, according to MLB.com's Adam McCalvy.
Braun met with MLB investigators on June 29 while in Pittsburgh and refused to cooperate, according to ESPN's T.J. Quinn and Mike Fish.
Even so, Braun realized MLB had a lot on him, and he agreed to the suspension:
"As I have acknowledged in the past, I am not perfect," Braun said in a statement released by MLB. ...
Alex Rodriguez was slated to return to the New York Yankees on Monday. But then he strained his quad over the weekend, putting his comeback on hold for a while longer.
This is assuming, of course, that Rodriguez isn't suspended by Major League Baseball first. The latest report says this is something that is moving away from "if" and more towards "when."
According to Jon Heyman of CBS Sports, a suspension for Rodriguez stemming from MLB's investigation into Biogenesis is "all but assured." What's more, Heyman cites sources close to the third baseman who ...
Matt Garza was just shipped out of Chicago (to the Texas Rangers), and he may not be the last big name to be dealt by Theo Epstein and Jed Hoyer. Gorden Wittenmeyer of the Chicago-Sun Times reports that Alfonso Soriano could be the next to go and that the New York Yankees are a team desperately in need of his services.
The Yankees have been putrid offensively this season, averaging just 3.95 runs per game and failing to support a pitching staff that has actually performed pretty well. The lack of impact ...
It just keeps getting better and better for the New York Yankees.
Just two days after shortstop Derek Jeter was placed on the disabled list with a Grade 1 quad strain, Alex Rodriguez is now suffering the same injury.
According to ESPN New York's Andrew Marchand, Rodriguez is returning to the disabled list on the day he was supposed to make his season debut.
This isn't good news for New York fans as they anticipated getting both back to help them make a run in the AL East. Now, with injuries to both ...
Once upon a time, Alex Rodriguez and Derek Jeter were two of the "holy trinity" of shortstops, along with Nomar Garciaparra. Today, the two Yankees are hobbled by injury, while Garciaparra is an ESPN commentator.
It's telling that one of them is not only out of the game, felled by injuries, but that he's been out a while. At age 37 for Rodriguez and age 39 for Jeter, it's surprising that either of them are playing, let alone doing so at a high level.
Neither has hit the field for more than ...
There comes a point in nearly every pitcher's career where he must reinvent himself.
After his last start against Boston, one in which he allowed nine hits and seven earned runs over five laborious innings, that time is now for one Carsten Charles Sabathia.
Those who have watched the New York Yankees this season—if they are being honest—will tell you that Sabathia hasn't looked like himself for most of it. That fact has flown under the radar in the media capital of the world thanks to the litany of injuries that have decimated the team's lineup.
But it can't stay in the background any ...
The New York Yankees have had 45 different players appear in a game so far this season. The franchise record is 51.
Marred by injuries, general manager Brian Cashman has gone to great lengths in an effort to field a winning team. While he’s done all he can, most of the team’s transactions have come from the waiver wire and promoting within the organization. Suffice it to say, there haven’t been many big names Yankee fans are familiar with.
When the injured players on the roster are activated from the disabled list, they ...
In the New York Yankees' endless search for viable bats, the next name on the list could very well be Milwaukee Brewers third baseman Aramis Ramirez, tweets Nick Cafardo of the Boston Globe.
Ramirez is scheduled to come off the disabled list on Monday after nursing a sprained knee, and the Yankees (along with the Boston Red Sox) will be sending scouts to the game in an effort to gauge where he is physically at this point in his career.
The third baseman is currently in his 16th season in the majors, spending his ...
New York Yankees second baseman Robinson Cano is off to another stellar year.
Though the Yankees have struggled this year and been decimated by injuries to their lineup, with last season's regulars Mark Teixeira, Derek Jeter, Alex Rodriguez and Curtis Granderson each missing extended time this year, the greatest bright spot has been Cano.
Despite the adversity the Yankees have faced, Cano has evolved into a leader and has been without a doubt the best player on the Bronx Bombers. Though acting with a relatively weak supporting cast, Robbie Cano has powered ...
When Derek Jeter showed up at spring training seemingly ready to play, Yankee fans anticipated the return to his old form. Ultimately, he ended up re-injuring himself and sat out the first three months of the season.
When the Yankee captain returned to the lineup, he rejoined a team that has unexpectedly hung around near the top of the division. Jeter will once again miss an extended period of time, as he was placed on the 15-day disabled list today with a strained right quadriceps.
That the Yankees have played over .500 ...
