Yankees to Host Free Pregame Skin Cancer Screenings for Guests 

JUNE 2, 2026

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

NEW YORK YANKEES TO HOST FREE PREGAME SKIN CANCER SCREENINGS FOR GUESTS ATTENDING THE TEAM’S SUN SAFETY DAY GAME ON THURSDAY, JUNE 4, AT 1:35 P.M. VS. CLEVELAND

The New York Yankees today announced details regarding free skin cancer screenings, which will be available to guests with tickets to the team’s Sun Safety Day game on Thursday, June 4, at 1:35 p.m. vs. Cleveland.

Beginning when Stadium gates open at noon and lasting until approximately 1:30 p.m., these quick and painless examinations will take place on the 200 Level Concourse in between the New Era Team Store and Section 223.

All screenings are free and “walk-up” — reservations are not required. However, fans should note that they will need a valid ticket for Thursday’s Yankees-Guardians game to enter Yankee Stadium. Participants will receive a sunscreen sample following their screening, while supplies last.

The screening is led by Yankees Team Dermatologist Dr. Darrell Rigel, who will be joined by colleagues from the dermatology departments of New York University and Mount Sinai. The annual event is offered to guests prior to one home game each season and is also open to all New York Yankees employees, Yankee Stadium Legends Global staff members and Yankee Stadium Securitas officers before gates open to guests.

“Early detection of skin cancer through regular screening is crucial, significantly increasing the chances of successful treatment,” said Rigel. “I am thrilled that my fellow dermatology professionals and I can provide these screenings each year. They are quick, painless and non-intrusive, and they can end up being a lifesaver.”

Individuals interested in learning more about skin cancer, including methods of prevention and detection, should visit the American Academy of Dermatology Association Skin Cancer Resource webpage at www.aad.org/skincancer.
