Yankees’ rotation raises bar to historic level with dominant week
The Yankees’ rotation has been a strength all season, but it has kind of improved over the past week. After Luis Gil’s six-inning, 14-strikeout performance in Saturday’s 6-1 win over the White Sox, Yankees starting pitchers have allowed just two earned runs in 39 innings over the last six games, with an ERA. It is […]

After a so-so (at best) 2023 season, the Sox signed their only rotation in Lucas Giolito, a […]
Mets should give Christian Scott a chance to boost rotation
Kodai Senga took live batting practice Monday afternoon and then said he plans to return by May 27, when he will be removed from the 60-day disabled list.

Luis Severino looks back to prime self as rock of Mets’ rotation
Jose Quintana pitched in the Mets’ game of the season on Sunday. The next day, Luis Severino basically said, “Hold the beer.” Blink and you’d have missed it, but on this pleasant spring night, Severino accelerated the Cubs’ fast break, and Dansby Swanson’s ball to left field was too high for Francisco Lindor’s outstretched glove.
