PHOENIX -- Gerrit Cole had never surrendered seven home runs over a two-start span before his most recent outings, and with the playoffs around the corner, there was concern that the Yankees’ right-hander might have hit a wall. Most of that came from outside the clubhouse. Yankees manager Aaron Boone

PHOENIX -- Aaron Judge is going back on the injured list, meaning the Yankees must navigate the end of the regular season without their captain -- and potentially part of the playoffs. Judge will be placed on the 10-day injured list with a right calf strain on Saturday, the team

PHOENIX -- Cans of beer were emptied over Aaron Judge’s head as the Yankees captain stood in the center of the visiting clubhouse at Target Field earlier this week, surrounded by joyous teammates celebrating the club’s entry into the postseason. Judge squinted, his eyes burning, and warned his teammates: “I’m

PHOENIX -- Cam Schlittler sported a significant bruise on his right hamstring as he moved through the visiting clubhouse at Chase Field on Friday afternoon. It was a souvenir from his most recent start, which ended after the Mets’ Bo Bichette connected on a 111.5 mph comebacker. That ball dented

The two most valuable Yankees this season are a starting pitcher named Cam Schlittler, from Walpole, Mass., and Northeastern University, a school within walking distance of Fenway Park, and Ben Rice, who comes out of Cohasset, Mass., on the state’s South Shore, about 30 miles from Fenway. If the Yankees

It’s common to think of the Yankees as a playoff-tested team. After all, this is the eighth time in nine years that they’ve made the postseason under manager Aaron Boone. And a quick look at some of their regulars shows a lineup that varies between a little bit and a

This page will be updated throughout the year with all the latest Yankees injury news and transactions.

NEW YORK -- Billy Joel performed sold-out shows in his home state at Yankee Stadium in 1990. Elton John brought the house down at Dodger Stadium in 1975 at the height of his powers. Frank Sinatra’s “New York, New York” blares through the Yankee Stadium public-address system after every Yankees

MINNEAPOLIS -- It’s been 14 1/2 months since Clarke Schmidt last set foot on a Major League mound, but as of Wednesday he’s officially back. The Yankees activated Schmidt from the IL before Wednesday’s game against the Twins after he completed his recovery from Tommy John surgery. He then entered

There is no slowing down Junior Caminero these days -- unless he's circling the bases. At the end of August, Caminero surged to the No. 2 spot in our latest MVP poll. In the three weeks since, the 24-year-old has closed the gap some more -- so much so that

We live for breakouts here at MLB Pipeline. They’re proof of many things in baseball. For example, players aren’t robots and can improve their standing in the game, and when we say player development isn’t linear, it also means that unforeseen leaps in value are included. The sport’s beauty is

Carlos Lagrange showed no signs of rust in his return to the bump after spending over two months on the IL. The fastball unfurled by the Yankees’ No. 4 prospect topped out at 102.1 mph while striking out two in one inning of relief during Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre's 9-6 loss to

MINNEAPOLIS – If there was any concern that the Yankees would suffer from a hangover – figuratively or literally – after celebrating Monday’s playoff-clinching victory, they put those thoughts to rest quickly on Tuesday. Cody Bellinger and Spencer Jones homered and Max Fried pitched seven efficient and effective innings as

MINNEAPOLIS -- One day after clinching a postseason berth, the Yankees had most of their everyday regulars in the lineup for Tuesday night's game against the Twins. But not Aaron Judge. Judge, who returned to action one week ago after spending more than three months on the injured list due

MINNEAPOLIS – It wasn’t a picture-perfect night for baseball at Target Field on Monday night, but these Yankees seem to thrive under imperfect conditions. José Caballero homered and doubled and Aaron Judge went deep for the first time since his return from the IL as the Yankees rallied to beat

MINNEAPOLIS – It took six games and 21 at-bats, but it was well worth the wait. Aaron Judge hit his first home run since his return from the injured list in the eighth inning of the Yankees’ 8-3 win over the Twins on Monday night at Target Field.

The release of the Arizona Fall League rosters always acts as a wonderful balm for prospect fans. The Minor League season is winding down with the postseason and the fear of not being able to track future stars until next season is assuaged with the knowledge that some of the

With two weeks to go in the 2026 regular season, it sure looks like the AL and NL Cy Young Awards are all but wrapped up. This has little to do with the field -- which is strong in both leagues -- and more to do with the frontrunners. The

The Roberto Clemente Award is one of the most prestigious honors in Major League Baseball. This year’s Clemente Award nominees were announced on MLB Network on Monday morning ahead of MLB’s annual Roberto Clemente Day, which takes place each year on Sept. 15 -- which also marks the beginning of

NEW YORK – Mention the American League Cy Young Award to Cam Schlittler, and the conversation usually doesn’t last long. The Yankees right-hander prefers to remain focused on what he needs to do every five days, especially as his team closes in on securing a postseason berth. After firing another

This week, we had our first clinchers. The Rays and Brewers are in; the Dodgers and the Yankees are right behind them, perhaps as soon as Monday. With now less than two weeks left in the season, it is going to be a near-nightly occurrence. It has been a long

NEW YORK – Clarke Schmidt arrived at Yankee Stadium on Sunday morning with his bags packed for the club’s charter flight to Minneapolis, the clearest indication yet that the right-hander has cleared the final hurdle of his rehab from Tommy John surgery. “This has been a long journey,” Schmidt said.
