BALTIMORE – The most stressful situation of Carlos Rodón’s return to the Yankees rotation came in the second inning on Tuesday, followed by what manager Aaron Boone would opine might have been the team’s best challenge of the season. With the bases loaded, Rodón froze Jackson Holliday looking at a

BALTIMORE – Trent Grisham would be the first to admit his season hasn’t measured up to expectations. The Yankees outfielder also knows it’s not too late to change the story.

BALTIMORE – The Yankees have spent most of the summer waiting on their offense, confident that one of baseball’s best rotations would be waiting at the other end. They’re still hopeful that will be the case, even after placing Max Fried on the 15-day injured list Tuesday with a recurrence

BALTIMORE – No summer is complete without a refreshing dip. For Aaron Judge, it represents an important step toward getting back in the Yankees' lineup.

NEW YORK – It had been more than a month since Carlos Rodón's most recent appearance in a game situation, and the Yankees left-hander seemed as curious as anyone to find out what it would look like. Rodón allowed three runs and three hits over 2 2/3 innings, including a

NEW YORK – There were World Series champions, Hall of Famers and Monument Park inductees ringing the Yankee Stadium infield on Saturday afternoon. For the Yankees, Old-Timers’ Day has always served as a bridge between generations. This time, it also brought family together. The afternoon gave Cody and Clay Bellinger

NEW YORK – If there is a silver lining to the scuffles that have most of the Yankees’ lineup grinding bat handles into sawdust, it’s that they are becoming intimately familiar with the pressure of playing in low-scoring games – exactly the kinds of conditions under which championship teams must

NEW YORK – Mitch Garver embraced a new idea during an offseason eight years ago, adopting a one-knee-down catching style that had yet to become widely adopted at the Major League level. That came at the urging of Tanner Swanson, then a catching coordinator with the Twins. Now it is

Paul Goldschmidt said it last summer, almost casually. It was close to Father’s Day, and the veteran first baseman was standing in front of his locker, discussing what it meant to have his children roaming around Yankee Stadium. “I know this isn’t going to last forever,” Goldschmidt said. He was

NEW YORK — George Lombard Jr. grew up in a big league clubhouse. He shadowed his father, George Lombard Sr., a six-year MLB veteran who has spent the past 11 years on a Major League coaching staff, including his current role as the Tigers’ bench coach. That familiarity will help

NEW YORK – Cam Schlittler views walks with the same disdain he usually reserves for online trolls. When his first four pitches sent a batter trotting toward first base, it was a clear signal that this evening might not be headed in the Yankees right-hander’s favor. Schlittler labored through three

NEW YORK – The Yankees spent much of the lead-up to Monday’s 6 p.m. ET Trade Deadline searching for a right-handed-hitting outfielder. They landed one with less than an hour remaining, picking up Heliot Ramos from the Giants. Then it was, as general manager Brian Cashman frequently says, “Pencils down.”
