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

Dax Kilby got right to work in making an impact in his second stint with Single-A Tampa. The Yankees’ 2025 first-round Draft pick (and No. 2 prospect) homered in his second game back with the Tarpons in Tampa’s 6-5 win over Palm Beach at Roger Dean Chevrolet Stadium on Saturday

There are hot streaks at the plate, and then there’s whatever George Lombard Jr. is doing right now. The Yankees’ No. 1 prospect and MLB Pipeline’s No. 20 overall posted three hits on Wednesday, his fourth consecutive game with multiple hits after spending almost a month on the injured list.

With two weeks remaining until the Trade Deadline, the Yankees are among the contenders looking to upgrade some areas of concern as they prepare for the stretch run. New York is in need of a catcher – preferably one who hits right-handed – as well as bullpen reinforcements, the latter

After spending nearly a month on the IL, George Lombard Jr. doesn’t seem to be showing any signs of rust at the plate. MLB's No. 20 prospect picked up two hits and homered in his first Triple-A at-bat in more than a month during Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre’s 7-6 win against Worcester

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 – The chance to fit another Pettitte for pinstripes was too appealing an opportunity to pass on. The Yankees selected Luke Pettitte, son of five-time World Series champion Andy Pettitte, in the eighth round of the MLB Draft (248th overall) on Sunday.

History was on the menu for the team also known as the Jersey Diners on Sunday, and Xavier Rivas served it up for six innings. The Yankees' No. 23 prospect twirled six hitless frames and struck out 10 for Double-A Somerset in a 2-1 loss to Reading in 11 innings

The Pettittes are made for Pinstripes. The Yankees selected two-way player Luke Pettitte -- the son of five-time World Series champion Andy Pettitte -- with the No. 248 overall pick in the eighth round of the 2026 Draft on Sunday afternoon.

NEW YORK -- The Yankees believe strongly in their ability to develop pitchers and keep them healthy, which made University of Arkansas left-hander Hunter Dietz a compelling choice for their first selection in the 2026 MLB Draft on Saturday. “Hunter is right up our alley,” said Damon Oppenheimer, the Yankees’

ST. PETERSBURG -- One great find can be enough to burnish a scout’s reputation, making it worth all the highway miles and meals away from home. Matt Hyde can point to two of them. Ben Rice and Cam Schlittler, a couple of Hyde’s prized Yankees discoveries, are representing the organization

If imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, Henry Lalane has no better role model than himself. Coming off the most dominant outing of his pro career, the Yankees’ No. 14 prospect twirled another gem. Lalane racked up 11 strikeouts over seven innings for Single-A Tampa, which edged St. Lucie,

Hard-throwing right-hander Carlos Lagrange, ranked by MLB Pipeline as the Yankees’ No. 4 prospect (and No. 85 prospect overall), will not throw for approximately six weeks because of a capsular sprain in his right shoulder, the team announced Friday. The Yankees placed Lagrane on the seven-day Triple-A injured list on

Professional batters have only four more hits against right-hander Thatcher Hurd than you do over his past four starts.

Henry Lalane has long been something of a pitching enigma. Standing 6-foot-7 with a mid-90s fastball and above-average changeup, the ingredients have been there for the Bronx native to break out in the Yankees’ system. The latest sign of it all coming together for the Yankees’ No. 14 prospect took

Carlos Lagrange is looking more and more comfortable in the relief role that could get him to the big leagues sooner rather than later. The fireballing righty earned his first professional save Thursday, shutting the door on a 6-4 win for Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre over Indianapolis at Victory Field. It marked

Thatcher Hurd had to wait quite some time to make his professional debut, but he’s now taking advantage of his time on the mound in the lower levels of the Minor Leagues. Hurd, the Yankees’ No. 9 prospect, struck out 10 on Wednesday en route to 4 2/3 scoreless innings.

The quest for adding as much talent to an organization is one that never rests. Which is why the Yankees tapped into an under-the-radar market Tuesday, coming to terms with right-hander Chien-Fan Lai, one of the premier Taiwanese prospects in the 2026 international class.

As he continues adjusting to his new role out of the bullpen, Carlos Lagrange delivered the goods on Sunday. Lagrange, the Yankees’ No. 4 prospect and MLB Pipeline’s No. 72 overall, struck out a pair in a scoreless seventh inning Sunday. The flamethrowing righty helped preserve a narrow lead for

The whole point of having good prospects in a system is to get them to the big leagues. In a perfect world, teams amass a pool of talent in Triple-A, the proverbial phone call away, to be able to readily call up reinforcements when needed. If the idea of seeing

Three players have tallied three-homer games in the bigs this season. In the Minors? One squad has reached that mark all by itself. On Tuesday, Luis Puello became the third Tampa player to mash three roundtrippers in the same contest this year, powering the Yankees’ Single-A affiliate to a 15-9

George Lombard Jr., the Yankees' No. 1 prospect, departed Tuesday's game for Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre with an apparent injury. In the bottom of the fourth inning, Lombard attempted to field a one-hop throw from rehabbing catcher Austin Wells on a stolen-base attempt at second base. As Lombard reached to corral the

The Yankees are big believers in George Lombard Jr.'s talent. It's why they gave him a run during Grapefruit League play this spring and it's why they pushed their top prospect to Triple-A at just 20 years old in late April. What's a surefire way to prove you're ready for
