Yankees News

The Yankees' playoff hopes took a significant hit as Ryan Weathers exited his start with left forearm discomfort, leaving fans anxiously awaiting imaging results. This comes on the heels of yet another setback for Giancarlo Stanton, who strained his left calf during a running drill and may not be seen on the field for the rest of the season. Stanton's absence has become a grim reality for a team that envisioned his power fueling a deep postseason run. Adding to the injury woes, Ryan McMahon landed on the injured list with a sprained thumb, prompting the call-up of Max Schuemann. As the Yankees sit at 73-55, the recent 5-2 stretch feels overshadowed by these health concerns, posing a daunting challenge for the rotation and lineup depth as they gear up for a crucial matchup against the Blue Jays.

Yankees starter Ryan Weathers pulled from game with left forearm discomfort

By almost all measures, the Yankees’ decision to roll the dice this past offseason and trade for lefty starter Ryan Weathers has worked out like gangbusters. A talented arm that was once the seventh overall pick in the MLB Draft, Weathers had never thrown more than 95 big-league innings in a season despite debuting at […]

Giancarlo Stanton Sustains New Calf Injury

A right calf strain and a tweak to that same calf in June have kept Giancarlo Stanton out of the Yankees’ lineup since April 24. Just when it seemed like Stanton was making solid progress towards a return, Yankees manager Aaron Boone told MLB.com’s Bryan Hoch and other media that Stanton fell during a running […]

Yankees Place Ryan McMahon On Injured List

The Yankees placed third baseman Ryan McMahon on the 10-day injured list, retroactive to August 20, with a sprained left thumb. Max Schuemann is up from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre to take his place on the active roster. McMahon made an early exit from Wednesday’s win over Baltimore. He hit an RBI single in the second inning. He was […]

Weathers exits start with forearm discomfort, will undergo imaging

NEW YORK – The Yankees are pinning their hopes for a deep postseason run upon strong starting pitching and improving health, two departments that may have absorbed a hit when Ryan Weathers walked off the mound on Saturday afternoon. Weathers’ breakout season was interrupted by left forearm discomfort following a

Stanton strains left calf while running, might not return in 2026

NEW YORK – The Yankees have kept the lights on for Giancarlo Stanton despite an absence that stretched far longer than anyone imagined, still picturing an October impact like the one that carried them to the World Series two years ago. They might have to do it without him.

Giancarlo Stanton and outrunning the sunset

It’s really something to see a true one-of-one. The first time it really stuck, it really happened to me, was Usain Bolt in 2008 in Beijing. With all due respect to what Michael Phelps did in those Olympics, there’s something primal about the 100m dash, something we’ve been doing as a species since Urk bragged […]
