After going 4-6 and falling to third place in the AL East, you’d be hard pressed to find a Yankees fan distraught to have the team back home after this West Coast road trip.
Getting swept by the Athletics and losing two of three to the Halos, the Yankees are now 8-11...
Yankees’ Jayson Nix succeeding in a thankless situation
Jayson Nix, the do-it-all infielder for the New York Yankees, is in an unenviable position. He has been charged with filling in for the injured Derek Jeter, a task as impossible as…taking the place of Dumbledore at Hogwarts.
With Jeter out, Jayson Nix has stepped up
Fans in the Bronx don’t want to see anyone other than Derek Jeter at shortstop. First, because he is good. Because...
Yankees GM may put Teixeira on DL
Slumping Yankees first baseman Mark Teixeira could be sidelined a while longer because of his ailing right wrist.
"I haven't done anything, but I'm leaning toward the disabled list," New York general manager Brian Cashman said Monday on a conference call.
Teixeira missed the first 53 games of the season because of a wrist injury. The All-Star slugger is hitting...

Yankees avoid sweep, snap five-game losing streak
The New York Yankees avoided being swept for the second time in the last week with a win over the Los Angeles Angels in the third and final game of their weekend series on Sunday. Yankees’s closer Mariano Rivera struck out high-priced slugger, Albert Pujols, with the bases loaded and shut down the Angels five-run, ninth- inning rally, earning
Yankees' Alex Rodriguez ran bases this weekend
There will still be many firsts since surgery for Alex Rodriguez. This marks one of them. On Saturday the veteran slugger ran the bases at the New York Yankees' facility down in Tampa Bay for the first time since his hip surgery. It was a positive step for Rodriguez, but the team still ins't exactly sure when he will return.
According to Andy McCullough of the New...
Angels' late rally comes up short vs. Rivera, Yanks
ANAHEIM, CA New York Yankees closer Mariano Rivera began his Hall of Fame career in 1995 against the California Angels at Anaheim Stadium. He picked up the first of his 632 career saves 51 weeks later against the Angels at the same ballpark. And if Rivera goes through with plans to retire after this season, one of his most dramatic saves ever came yep, against the Angels at Angels...

Teixeira to have wrist examined
Mark Teixeira left Saturday’s game early after he appeared to re-aggrivate his wrist. He has flown back to New York to have it examined.
Teixeira missed the first two months of the season with a serious wrist injury, so this news is not good for the Yankees. Toronto slugger Jose Bautista suffered the same injury last season and eventually came back. Only a few games into his return...
Yankees' Mark Teixeira leaves game with wrist injury
The injuries just keep piling up for the New York Yankees, and Saturday, June 14, brought even more bad news. First, the Yankees placed third baseman Kevin Youkilis back on the DL with a lumbar strain in his back. Then, first baseman Mark Teixeria left Saturday's game with the Los Angeles Angels in the fourth inning with a sore wrist, the same wrist that put him on the disabled...
Yankees Tom Kahnle, Mark Montgomery Could Provide Bullpen Depth
The New York Yankees are in need of a shakeup at the major league level even if it is mainly on offense. The Yankees have an above average pitching staff but an anemic lineup, and with so many players headed to Free Agency, will need to make a lot of decisions as they approach the trade deadline.While players like Mariano Rivera, Andy Pettitte and Hiroki Kuroda represent no trade...
Take pictures, gather momentos, teasure each moment: The Yankees are now in the Chris Bootcheck Era
Chris Bootcheck, the 34-year-old lugnut from Scranton - by way of Anaheim and Yokohama Bay, Japan - soldiered in last night, to not only pitch the eighth inning but to personify the 2013 Yankees, a team whose symbol has morphed from a pack of fighting underdogs into a flaming bag of dog doo on your front stoop.We're left with the same decision Brian Cashman faces over the next...
Yankees bring Neal up, Adams sent down
The Yankees have called up outfielder Thomas Neal from Triple-A Scranton prior to tonight’s game with the Angels. Infielder David Adams has been sent down to make room on the roster.
Adams started off on the right foot with the Yankees but has since cooled off, picking up just two hits in his last 25 at-bats. Neal, 25, put up a batting line of .339/.426/.446 with two homers and...
O CAPTAIN MY CAPTAIN
Jeter cleared for baseball activities
After a recovery period lasting nearly eight months, Yankees shortstop Derek Jeter finally was cleared to resume full baseball activities on Thursday.
Hughes Walks The Ballpark: Teams Walk Away?
In April I decided, for various reasons, that this year should be Joba Chamberlain's last in pinstripes. Chamberlain's performance in Oakland last night only reinforced this belief. Until now, I have not addressed the obvious fact that Phil Hughes should tag along when Chamberlain leaves the Yankees. After last night, however, it is obvious that the two should hop a plane...
Yankees Lose But, Before The Game, Cano Wins
With CC Sabathia once again pitching poorly in Oakland and the Athletics continuing their hot streak at home, last night's Yankee loss was as predictable as it was painful. Something that was not predictable was the announcement before the game that Robinson Cano had been named AL captain of this year's Home Run Derby.I would have thought that last year's horrible experience...
Spoiler Alert: Lyle Overbay can't play right field and Youkilis is a shambling shadow of himself
Last night, the Evil Empire didn't look so evil. Forget the 6-4 score. That was us covering the spread. We pulled four runs from the garbage bag in the late innings, then left just enough runners on base to keep fans from getting to sleep. All we accomplished was saving Mo for a night, and forcing them to use their closer. Hooray. I never thought I would say this, but we miss...
