NEW YORK – Contemplating weeks of the summer without several of their biggest bats, the Yankees wondered how they were going to produce offense. Perhaps, it was suggested, they could survive those absences with a “small ball” blend of contact and speed. Then again, those concerns might have been overblown.

NEW YORK – Gerrit Cole paced the length of the Yankees’ dugout during the early innings of Tuesday night’s game against the White Sox, glove tucked near his belt as he wriggled his right arm, keeping it loose. The Yankees’ ace had the luxury of time to kill. Spencer Jones,

NEW YORK – José Caballero is no fan of the pitch-timer rule that states that a batter “must be in the box and alert to the pitcher” by the 8-second mark. But the Yankees’ utilityman also believes he’s following it to the letter. Caballero’s efforts to find a tactical edge

TORONTO – Aroldis Chapman believes the Yankees owe him an apology. It doesn’t sound like one is coming anytime soon. Speaking about the possibility of being traded by the Red Sox to the Yankees, Chapman told ESPN Deportes’ Enrique Rojas that he would need to clear the air regarding the

TORONTO -- A little more than a week after losing Aaron Judge to injury, the Yankees are down another outfielder. Trent Grisham was placed on the 10-day injured list Saturday, having exited Friday’s 8-5 loss to the Blue Jays at Rogers Centre with a right hamstring strain. In a corresponding

TORONTO -- Cam Schlittler knows what is waiting for him. When the Rogers Centre roof is closed, noise gets trapped inside the building, making Blue Jays fans feel even closer than they are. This is a place where the Yankees have amassed more scars than success in recent years, and

NEW YORK – Cam Schlittler had yet to warm up, let alone throw the biggest pitches of his life, when he told Andy Pettitte exactly what everyone wearing Yankees pinstripes wanted to hear. “I’m not going to let them beat me,” Schlittler told Pettitte that October evening, entrusted to carry
