Yankees’ Gerrit Cole records second straight strong outing
The Yankees ace is on a roll. On Friday night in the Bronx, Gerrit Cole got off to another great start in the shortened season, leading the Yankees to a 6-1 victory over the Rays in the first of a four-game series. “Everything went well,” he said. “I wish I’d been a little more efficient […]
Aaron Boone goes to bat for Yankees after Luis Severino’s dig on lineup
The Yankees scored six runs on Friday night to give them an MLB-high 494 runs this season. Still, when Luis Severino said (jokingly) that the Yankees’ offense was comprised of Aaron Judge, Juan Soto and not much else, it’s hard to argue with the way they’ve been playing recently. In Friday’s 6-1 win over Tampa […]
Anthony Volpe’s night of redemption keys Yankees’ win vs. Rays
As the Yankees went into the first half break last Sunday, Anthony Volpe stood looking a bit shell-shocked in the locker room at Camden Yards after a defensive error cost his team the win.

Ben Rice aiming for encore after strong Yankees introduction

Yankees hoping Giancarlo Stanton’s season doesn’t crater
As the second half of the season began on Friday night, Giancarlo Stanton inched closer to a return, possibly as soon as next week or sooner. The Yankees certainly could use him if he can return to the level of production he showed before he strained his hamstring on June 22, something that hasn’t happened […]
Luis Severino throws shade at former Yankees teammates who ‘talked s–t’
MIAMI — Luis Severino won’t be playing against the Yankees in the upcoming Subway Series, so he instead pitched hard against his former team on Friday. The Mets right-hander, who didn’t even face the Yankees at Citi Field last month after manager Carlos Mendoza reshuffled the rotation to start two left-handers, said he is in […]
Three questions Yankees need answered as second half of the season approaches
Washington Post reporter Dan Martin looks at three questions facing the Yankees heading into the second half of the 2024 season. Can they turn things around?

Orioles hold prospect edge over Yankees at MLB trade deadline
The Orioles hold a slim one-game lead over the Yankees, but as the trade deadline approaches, they’ll have a much bigger advantage than that.
