PHILADELPHIA – Catchers are taught that their most important work appears outside the box score, responsible for guiding pitchers and controlling the running game. Austin Wells found some comfort there, but he has never stopped believing in his bat. Wells launched the longest home run of his career, an opposite-field

PHILADELPHIA – As the Yankees went through the paces of batting practice on Saturday at Citizens Bank Park, George Lombard Jr. was doing the same approximately 120 miles away, preparing for a game with the Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders. They're separated only by about a 2-hour drive. And it remains to

PHILADELPHIA – Cam Schlittler savored everything about his All-Star Game experience. The Yankees pitcher enjoyed a front-row seat for the Home Run Derby, waved to crowds from the Red Carpet Parade and – at one point – even wandered into the field-level seating bowl to satisfy a midday craving for

PHILADELPHIA – There’s no question: LeBron James delivered the day’s biggest sports decision. But when he steps to home plate on Friday, José Caballero will also be making a scrutinized choice – at least, as far as the umpiring crew is concerned. Caballero said he is still deciding how to

NEW YORK – You can almost set your watch to it: Once again, an opponent has expressed frustration with José Caballero’s manipulation of the pitch timer. This time, it was the Pirates’ Dennis Santana, who exchanged words with the Yankees’ infielder after an eighth-inning at-bat. Both benches and bullpens briefly

NEW YORK – Swagger arrives when Jazz Chisholm Jr. does, following him from the Yankee Stadium parking garage into the clubhouse and out toward the field. Hardly one to shy away from any spotlight, the infielder admits there have been times this season when it has felt like he’s putting

NEW YORK – It hasn’t been anything like the type of season Jazz Chisholm Jr. envisioned for himself. He’d love for this to be the swing that turns it around. Chisholm cracked a tiebreaking home run off Evan Phillips in the eighth inning that powered the Yankees to a 2-1

NEW YORK -- It was the third inning on Saturday afternoon, and Cam Schlittler found himself adjusting his cap near the back of the mound, unable to find the right combination. He’d thrown nine pitches to Andy Pages already, and when the 10th resulted in a playable foul pop, it

NEW YORK -- Aaron Judge underwent a re-imaging procedure on his fractured right rib during the All-Star break that revealed signs of healing, but not yet enough to clear the Yankees captain for resumption of baseball activities. Judge had the imaging performed on Wednesday. He is believed to have sustained

NEW YORK – For those who were in the Yankees’ clubhouse at that time, memories of the 2024 World Series are looked upon as “one of those things that leaves a scar,” as manager Aaron Boone was saying before Friday’s game against the Dodgers. Gerrit Cole knows a thing or

NEW YORK – Max Fried pitched three innings of two-run ball for Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre against Worcester on Friday night in his first Minor League rehab start of the season. Fried allowed five hits (including one homer), struck out three and walked none. He threw 52 pitches, 32 for strikes. The

NEW YORK -- Hunter Dietz grew up just a few miles from the Yankees’ Player Development complex in Tampa, Fla., which means the young left-hander has passed by more times than he can count. There always seems to be activity on its pristine diamonds, separated from automobile traffic by high

NEW YORK – Even as Cody Bellinger savored one of the most memorable evenings of his career, having been named the Most Valuable Player of this year’s All-Star Game at Citizens Bank Park, the Yankees slugger practically heard a clock ticking. “Enjoy today, then it’s time to get ready for

NEW YORK – For Aaron Judge, a first impression of what he believed the 2026 Yankees could look like still stands out. It was late March in San Francisco, and the Yankees had won the season’s first two games, holding the Giants scoreless through 18 innings. Too many times, those

PHILADELPHIA – Cody Bellinger stood near home plate late on Tuesday evening, receiving the Ted Williams All-Star Game MVP Award from Phillies Hall of Famer Mike Schmidt.

PHILADELPHIA – The most memorable snapshot of Ben Rice’s first experience in the T-Mobile Home Run Derby came on his final swing, waiting for gravity to bring a sky-high pop-up back toward the infield at Citizens Bank Park. Watching it plop on the turf untouched, Rice moved immediately toward the

PHILADELPHIA – Ben Rice and Cam Schlittler walked with wide-eyed wonder through Citizens Bank Park’s Ashburn Alley on Monday afternoon, dressed in their road gray game uniforms.

PHILADELPHIA -- Dylan Cease will walk to the mound as the American League’s starting pitcher in Tuesday’s All-Star Game, a decision that John Schneider locked in with some 72 hours’ notice. The only surprise may be that it took the Blue Jays manager so long to decide. As Schneider unveiled

Most afternoons, Cam Schlittler can be found tucked inside a hoodie somewhere in the Yankees’ clubhouse, speaking so softly that teammates lean in to hear him. At first, Aaron Judge believed he might be shy, just a blue-collar Massachusetts kid who loves cats and once asked security to extricate a
