Yankees News

Gerrit Cole is gearing up for his next start against the Chicago White Sox, and as the ace continues to regain his form, the Yankees are riding high after a commanding 13-run blowout victory in their recent game, solidifying their grip on first place in the AL East with a robust 43-27 record. However, the injury bug has taken a toll, with Giancarlo Stanton experiencing a setback and Trent Grisham expected to miss a few weeks, leaving the Yankees' lineup in a precarious position. On the roster front, Seth Brown has opted out of his deal with the team, yet the strength of players like Ben Rice and Cody Bellinger, who have been heating up at the plate, should provide some much-needed cushion as they push towards the midpoint of the season.

Yankees explode on one of game’s best, beat White Sox by 10

I recapped the Yankees’ incredible 13-run inning against Sacramento, and I was tapped for tonight’s blowout win as well. Should I recap a third blowout, that’s a trend and I’ll be asking my editors for a raise, since clearly I’m having influence here. The Yankees were down 1-0 three batters into the game, but that […]
