NEW YORK -- Austin Wells, the Yankees' top pick in last year's MLB Draft, is slated to begin his professional career this week with Low-A Tampa -- though fans must wait a bit longer for a glimpse of Jasson Dominguez, the club's No. 1 prospect according to MLB Pipeline. Dominguez

TAMPA, Fla. -- Austin Wells will always remember his first at-bat of Spring Training, which also happened to be his first plate appearance in a professional uniform. With no Minor League games to play last season, the Yankees’ first-round pick in the 2020 MLB Draft had to wait longer than

The Yankees had less opportunity to acquire and develop prospects than perhaps any franchise in 2020. They possessed just three picks in the Draft after forfeiting their second- and fifth-rounders for the free-agent signing of Gerrit Cole, while MLB's pandemic-related temporary prohibition on trading for international bonus pool money helped

CLEARWATER, Fla. -- The name Pedro Martinez is mentioned and Deivi García nods knowingly, a slight smile creasing his youthful face. Hearing your name in the same sentence as one of the greatest pitchers ever to touch a Dominican Republic mound is at once a great honor and an unforgiving

TAMPA, Fla. -- Clarke Schmidt, the Yankees’ No. 2 prospect according to MLB Pipeline, will be shut down from throwing for at least three weeks after being diagnosed with a common extensor strain near his right elbow.

During a typical international signing period, the Yankees’ preference is to use their available bonus pool on a variety of players, understanding that the science of forecasting prospects is imprecise.

NEW YORK -- The Yankees had three players selected from their organization in the Major League phase of Thursday's Rule 5 Draft: right-hander Garrett Whitlock, infielder Kyle Holder and right-hander Trevor Stephan.

The Yankees may have won just a single World Series championship in the last two decades, leaving them one more year without a title from matching the most fallow period in franchise history, but they remain a perennial contender. They made their fourth consecutive playoff appearance in 2020 and reached

NEW YORK -- The Yankees made several moves on Friday, adding right-handers Roansy Contreras, Yoendrys Gomez and Alexander Vizcaíno and infielder Oswald Peraza to the Major League roster at the deadline for protection from the Rule 5 Draft.
