Luis Gil earns win for Yankees as slider adjustment pays off
BALTIMORE — Just in time for the All-Star break, Luis Gil is pitching like an All-Star again.

Alex Verdugo’s rough stretch is concerning Yankees trend
BALTIMORE — Alex Verdugo has been a key part of a hot Yankees offense through the first six weeks of the regular season, posting an .812 OPS through May 9.

Injuries hurting Yankees’ thin prospect depth before MLB trade deadline
ARLINGTON, Texas — Spencer Jones entered the Futures Game having struck out in an Eastern League-best 37.1 percent of his at-bats.

Yankees put Jose Trevino on IL with quad injury, call up Carlos Narvaez
BALTIMORE — Jose Trevino scored the extra run in the ninth inning Friday night, but it came at a cost.

Orioles’ Brandon Hyde furious at Yankees ‘yelling at me’ before benches cleared
