NEW YORK – The ball fell to the outfield grass after smacking the side of Carson Benge’s glove, and for a moment it felt like a Subway Series flashback – one ballpark across town, a night when Alex Rodriguez teamed with Luis Castillo as the co-authors of an improbable Yankees

NEW YORK – Jazz Chisholm Jr. has been searching everywhere to rediscover his swing. He just might have found the answer in a teammate’s locker. Chisholm borrowed a pair of Giancarlo Stanton’s pants for the Yankees’ 5-2 Subway Series victory over the Mets on Friday, a wardrobe switch that coincided

NEW YORK – Elmer Rodríguez’s first big league callup saw the young right-hander cross several items off his wish list, including a long-awaited opportunity to pitch under the bright lights at Yankee Stadium. Now he’ll experience a Subway Series. The Yankees’ No. 2 prospect according to MLB Pipeline, Rodríguez was

NEW YORK – The Yankees’ dream pairing of Max Fried and Gerrit Cole atop the rotation never materialized during their first season as teammates. That anticipated one-two punch appears to be delayed this year, too. Fried was placed on the 15-day injured list with a left elbow bone bruise, which

NEW YORK – All these years later, there’s still a palpable jolt of energy when the Subway Series rolls around. Manhattan’s avenues were flooded by rivalry caps as the weekend closed in, and by dusk, each pitch could be seen on an ultra-high-definition Times Square billboard that spanned an entire

The American League East is a lot of things. It’s never boring. That appears to be the case again this season. The Rays and Yankees have been the best teams in the AL by a considerable margin. The Orioles, Blue Jays and Red Sox have been … interesting, albeit not

BALTIMORE – The Yankees have wondered at times this season about Max Fried’s spotty command, even watching the All-Star ditch his windup in hopes of targeting the strike zone more effectively. They have greater concerns after the left-hander disappeared down the dugout tunnel after three innings on Wednesday. Initially diagnosed

BALTIMORE – The Yankees have struggled to score on the road this season. Paul Goldschmidt stepped into the box ready to change that. Goldschmidt belted a leadoff homer on Trevor Rogers’ first pitch and Trent Grisham added a three-run shot that highlighted a five-run third inning, powering the Yankees’ 6-2

BALTIMORE – José Caballero was unable to talk his way out of a stint on the 10-day injured list, but his fractured right middle finger won’t cost him his job as the Yankees’ starting shortstop. Caballero’s strong performance convinced the Yankees to option Anthony Volpe at the conclusion of his

BALTIMORE -- Two interested observers lingered near Ryan Weathers’ locker late on Monday evening, eavesdropping as the Yankees left-hander revealed he hadn’t been aware a no-hitter was in progress when the game entered the seventh inning. “I had zero idea,” Weathers said after the Yankees’ 3-2 loss to the Orioles

BALTIMORE -- José Caballero wore a look of frustration as he flipped a pink Mother’s Day bat in the air, end over end, while approaching his locker in the Camden Yards visiting clubhouse on Monday afternoon. Not in the Yankees’ lineup and scheduled to return to New York for testing

NEW YORK -- The Yankees have dreamed upon this for years: An outfield stocked with towering sluggers Aaron Judge and Spencer Jones, a pair of 6-foot-7 mashers obliterating balls from opposite sides of the plate. That vision will become reality this weekend. The Yankees officially called up Jones, the organization’s

NEW YORK -- Trent Grisham has gone unrewarded for hard contact early this season, an unlucky streak the Yankees believed would eventually correct itself. His big sixth-inning hit on Thursday afternoon could be the turning point they’ve been waiting for. Grisham belted a bases-clearing double to the gap in left-center

NEW YORK -- Jasson Domínguez will be on the injured list for at least “a few weeks” after an MRI revealed a low-grade sprain of his left AC joint, the result of his exceptional catch on the first play of Thursday’s 9-2 Yankees victory over the Rangers, manager Aaron Boone

NEW YORK -- It was nearly a full year ago that Will Warren began to fulfill the promise that was envisioned by the Yankees’ pitching department, enjoying a dominant performance against the Rangers at Yankee Stadium. They got him back on Wednesday. Citing “bad execution,” Warren snapped a string of

NEW YORK -- Ryan Weathers said he lost nine pounds earlier this week dealing with a viral infection, prompting the Yankees to scratch the left-hander from a start scheduled for Thursday afternoon against the Rangers at Yankee Stadium. Paul Blackburn will make the start in place of Weathers, who last

NEW YORK – Jazz Chisholm Jr. held his pose for an extra second, arms locked as he tracked the flight of a sixth-inning drive toward the right-center-field seats. The Yankees infielder looked toward his teammates in the first-base dugout, then tossed his lumber into the air. “Finally,” Chisholm said. “It’s

NEW YORK – The Yankees announced Tuesday that they will pay a season-long tribute to legendary broadcaster John Sterling by wearing a customized memorial patch on their uniform sleeves at the start of their next homestand on May 18. Beginning with that evening’s game against the Blue Jays, the Yankees

NEW YORK – Carlos Rodón is approaching the final checkpoint of his recovery from left elbow surgery performed in October after making a Minor League rehab start for Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Tuesday at Worcester. Rodón pitched 6 1/3 innings and allowed six runs (five earned) on seven hits (including two

NEW YORK – When you call more than 5,000 consecutive games, as John Sterling did, a trusted formula tends to emerge. The legendary broadcaster once said he favored power-hitting lineups, understanding that teams that made things happen gave him room to entertain and “do my act.” The Yankees delivered that

NEW YORK – Bad news for big league hitters: Cam Schlittler found some extra heat. The Yankees’ right-hander made a mechanical adjustment between starts that unlocked a slight velocity boost, resulting in the hardest pitches of his big league career to date.

NEW YORK – There has been a noticeable shift in the Yankees’ urgency this season, and not all on the field. Not satisfied with an early claim on the American League’s top record (23-11 before Monday night's game), the front office has aggressively shifted the rotation, bench and bullpen. That

NEW YORK – Ben Rice was not in the lineup and unable to swing with full force on Monday, according to Yankees manager Aaron Boone, one day after a left hand contusion forced the Major Leagues’ OPS leader to exit the club’s 11-3 victory over the Orioles. “I don’t think
