The Yankees are northbound for their first series at Fenway Park this season against first-place Boston with a lot on the line. Three games in mid-July won't hardly decide a season, but a sweep at the hand of the Red Sox could be deadly for the Bombers' aspirations to claim the AL East division crown.
The Yankees will send the venerable, yet recently shaky, Andy Pettitte to the mound Friday night to square off against Boston southpaw, Felix Doubront. Saturday's late afternoon pairing features Yankee ace Hiroki Kuroda and John Lackey. The ...
It is no secret that the New York Yankees have been riddled with injuries this entire season. It seems like Murphy's Law is in full effect for the Bombers right now—anything that can go wrong, will go wrong. This was evident when Derek Jeter suffered a quadriceps injury the very same night he made his season debut on July 11th and was placed on the 15-day disabled list.
With injuries to many members of their starting lineup, Jeter, Curtis Granderson, Mark Teixeira and Francisco Cervelli, just to name a few, the ...
With news that the Yankees have signed their first 17 draft picks of 2013, we can now evaluate what the future will hold for the franchise.
Included in those first 15 rounds are eight pitchers, five outfielders and four infielders.
The first to be selected was third baseman Eric Jagielo out of the University of Notre Dame. As an above-average hitter and blessed with a cannon for an arm, he signed on June 13 and was sent to the Yankees' Gulf Coast League club. After just three games, he was moved to ...
After missing the first 91 games of the 2013 season with an ankle injury suffered in the 2012 ALCS, shortstop Derek Jeter returned to action for the New York Yankees on July 11.
The return was short-lived, however, as he suffered a quad injury and has now been placed back on the 15-day disabled list:
Jeter certainly isn't the same player he once was, as he doesn't have as much range in the field and has lost a step or two overall. Still, the captain's calming presence has long been an invaluable ...
New York Yankees general manager Brian Cashman has searched through the waiver wire and his own farm system to keep the team afloat despite a whirlwind of injuries.
Now that the July 31 trade deadline is less than two weeks away, Cashman will be calling a variety of teams to get a grasp on which players are available.
The Yankees, at 51-44, are six games out in the American League East and three games out of the American League Wild Card. But it would be a mistake to say they’re in a ...
Many players in the major leagues were high draft picks or heralded prospects early in their professional careers, but there are many others who weren't looked at as future stars when their careers started.
For the New York Yankees, players like Gosuke Katoh, Greg Bird and several others haven't received much fanfare thus far in their careers but could down the road if they continue to develop and improve.
The list of young Yankee minor leaguers that follows is comprised of players who have performed well and look primed to become more ...
Robinson Cano will be a free agent come season's end, and the New York Yankees have received calls on the All-Star second baseman, reports Andrew Marchand of ESPNNewYork.com.
Never fear, Yankees fans, as general manager Brian Cashman and the upper management of the team have said "no" to every team that has come calling. Cano is the lone offensive weapon left healthy on the Yankees and, with the team still in the thick of a playoff hunt, trading him away would signal the Yankees' surrender.
Marchand notes that trading Cano would likely ...
Somehow—through 95 games played—the New York Yankees, with all of their troubles, are only three games behind in the chase for one of two AL Wild Card spots. It might be one of the most incredible storylines of the season.
How can that be, you say? Allow me to explain.
The Yankees have played all but one game this season without Derek Jeter, who was one of the best shortstops in all of baseball last season. The one game he came back for, he had to leave early with a strain in ...
All the talk about Alex Rodriguez returning to the New York Yankees will soon give way to him actually playing in games, with the reaction from the sports world providing plenty of fodder for conversation.
Rodriguez spoke with Mike Francesa of WFAN radio in New York, saying that the current plan is for him to return on Monday when the Yankees travel to Texas for a series against the Rangers.
We made out a schedule going back to January when I had surgery, and we’ve been pretty much dialed in to that ...
The Yankees need Chase Headley.
New York is just six games behind Boston for first place in the AL East, and is more than capable of making a second-half run. But that’s only going to happen if general manager Brian Cashman can work out a deal for someone who can play third base and make an impact in the heart of the lineup.
The Bronx Bombers have been plagued by injuries this season. Nearly every notable name on the roster has been placed on the disabled list at least once this year. ...
