The New York Yankees have kept Ben Rice out of the catcher rotation for a majority of the 2026 season, and Aaron Boone has offered the clearest explanation yet.
The New York Yankees are undeniably a stronger contender when Aaron Judge anchors their lineup, and his absence creates a noticeable void that the team must navigate carefully if they hope to reach their full potential this season.
When the New York Yankees decided to bring Paul Goldschmidt back during the offseason, they envisioned him as a valuable depth piece. The 38-year-old first baseman could step in when the emerging Ben Rice needed a day off, and his mastery against left-handed pitching gives the Yankees a dangerous platoon option.
Jazz Chisholm Jr. had a two-run triple and three RBIs and Trent Grisham scored three times as the visiting New York Yankees completed a three-game sweep of the Cleveland Guardians with a 8-4 victory on Wednesday afternoon.
How many of the 53 Major League Baseball players not born in the United States of America with 250 or more career home runs can you name in seven minutes?
Getaway games can never just be normal, can they? Carlos Rodón’s second pitch of the game was hit out of the park, Angel Martínez played right field like he was doing shots in between innings, Trent Grisham had one of the most consequential ABS challenges of the year … this game had a bit of everything.
Not every all-timer has instant success at the next level. For many baseball players, it takes a few bumps in the road out of the gate before they ever reach stardom.
Max Fried’s injury situation just took another frustrating turn for Yankees fans, and the timing couldn’t be worse. The Yankees expected the $218 million ace to anchor the rotation, but his latest setback pushes back his true return yet again.
The Yankees' lineup is slowly getting healthier as the 2026 MLB season continues, and more reinforcements are on the way in the form of Jasson Domínguez.
New York Yankees outfielder Jasson Dominguez is working his way back from injury. With Aaron Judge injured as well, the Yankees are certainly hopeful that Dominguez can return sooner rather than later.
Paul Goldschmidt's return to the Yankees in the offseason wasn't one of those moves that was lauded by fans. It appeared to be another instance of the team running it back instead of moving forward.
Going into the season, the New York Yankees’ bullpen was its biggest question mark. Losing two high-leverage relievers in Luke Weaver and Devin Williams to their cross-town rival, and not replacing their production.
The only two things rarer in modern-day baseball than the four-homer game is the Triple Crown and the unassisted triple play. The former is, of course, done over an entire season, while there's a large level of lucky in the unassisted triple play.
Coming into the Yankees’ May 3rd game against the Orioles, Ben Rice was riding high. His slash line stood at a mind-boggling .337/.455/.745, and he further added to it with a first-inning homer off of Trey Gibson.
The New York Yankees are playing well at the moment despite Aaron Judge’s injury absence. The Yankees are certainly hopeful that Judge can return sooner rather than later, but the ball club is finding success despite the circumstances.
Yankees history is flush with an embarrassment of luminaries—not just on the diamond, but in the broadcast booth, from Red Barber and Mel Allen to the late John Sterling.
It's clear that the Yankees' bullpen gets thin when it's overworked. It's just the nature of the beast when it employs two long relievers, so on a night when David Bednar was unavailable because he worked two straight days, Fernando Cruz was thrust into the closer role in Tuesday's game against the Guardians.
With Aaron Judge dealing with a stress fracture of the first rib on his right side, the New York Yankees recently recalled their No. 6 prospect, Spencer Jones, and not only is he beginning to deliver, but he is also drawing comparisons to the three-time MVP.
Momentum is on the Yankees' side as they approach the middle of June, but that doesn't mean it's too early to start looking ahead. After all, some Yankees fans are already thinking about the club's next potential call-ups, especially with roster spots possibly opening up due to movement ahead of the Aug.
Where would the Yankees be without Cody Bellinger? Even before the Aaron Judge injury, Bellinger was by far the Yankees’ third-most productive and perhaps the most consistent hitter at the plate.
Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders: W, 5-2 vs. Lehigh Valley IronPigs SS George Lombard Jr. 1-4, RBI, K, SF RF Jasson Domínguez 3-3, HR, BB, 2 RBI,
Terrific work by the bullpen has allowed the New York Yankees to win the first two games of their road series against the American League Central-leading Cleveland Guardians.
Jazz Chisholm Jr. hit a go-ahead solo homer in the eighth inning off Tim Herrin, lifting the visiting New York Yankees to a 3-2 win over the American League Central Division-leading Cleveland Guardians on Tuesday night.
Catcher Austin Wells is heading to the injured list due to cervical headaches, the Yankees announced. J.C. Escarra was recalled to take Wells’ spot on the roster.
