Ken Waldichuk’s spectacular start to the 2022 season keeps on getting better. The Yankees’ No. 6 prospect struck out a career-high 12 across five no-hit innings in Double-A Somerset’s seven-inning 3-2 win over New Hampshire Sunday afternoon. Of the 17 batters he faced, seven went down swinging and four were

TAMPA, Fla. -- It's not unusual for a hitter to credit an offseason adjustment for a hot start in Spring Training -- and that’s exactly what Kyle Higashioka did after hitting his fourth home run in the last three games in Tuesday afternoon’s 14-2 win over the Phillies at George

TAMPA, Fla. -- From his usual spring perch at the back of the bullpen, hidden underneath George M. Steinbrenner Field’s right-field grandstand, Yankees manager Aaron Boone nodded as he watched Deivi García’s recent mound session.

BRADENTON, Fla. -- Anthony Volpe may be part of the Yankees’ future, but for nearly five innings on Friday, New York’s No. 1 prospect was part of the club’s present. Volpe played the back half of Friday’s Grapefruit League opener, a 4-3 loss to the Pirates at LECOM Park, striking

BRADENTON, Fla. -- As Luke Voit drove from the Tampa area down to Bradenton on Friday morning, a number of thoughts rumbled through his head. The slugger knew his days with the Yankees were numbered thanks to the return of his friend Anthony Rizzo, but with his current team slated

TAMPA, Fla. -- Ask Ken Waldichuk about the pitching depth in the Yankees’ organization, and the left-handed prospect describes it as “kind of unreal,” recalling the experiences of his first week after being promoted to Double-A Somerset last June. His first night in uniform, Waldichuk watched from the bullpen as

TAMPA, Fla. -- For Trey Sweeney, there was no better crash course than the Yankees’ recent Minor League minicamp, offering an opportunity to train alongside Anthony Volpe -- the club’s top-ranked prospect, according to MLB Pipeline -- each day under the Florida sunshine.

TAMPA, Fla. -- Not wanting to overload one of the most celebrated prospects in recent memory, Yankees staffers sometimes hesitate to add kindling to the Jasson Dominguez wildfire, recognizing that expectations are already sky-high for the switch-hitting wunderkind.
