The Boston Red Sox came to Yankee Stadium hoping to rewrite the ending. Instead, the Yankees sent them home again. One night after Cam Schlittler completely shut Boston down, Max Fried picked up right where he left off. Fried controlled the Red Sox for six innings, Cody Bellinger delivered the knockout punch, and the Yankees

Boston has seen this movie before. Unfortunately for the Red Sox, Cam Schlittler apparently enjoys the sequel. Schlittler dominated Boston again, Ben Rice put together a monster night at the plate, and the Yankees opened the 2026 postseason with a 9-0 beatdown of the Red Sox Tuesday night at Yankee Stadium. No Aaron Judge. No

Yankees. Red Sox. October. Yankee Stadium. There really isn't much else that needs to be said to sell this one. The Yankees will host Boston in a best-of-three American League Wild Card Series beginning Tuesday night at 8 p.m. ET. New York finished 93-68 and grabbed the top AL Wild Card spot, while Boston comes

The Yankees were down 4-0. Cam Schlittler was already out of the game. The offense had done almost nothing through 5 innings. Then George Lombard Jr. took over. The 21-year-old rookie delivered an RBI double, scored on one of the wildest plays you will see at home plate, and then crushed the go-ahead 2-run homer

The Yankees had a chance to steal this one in Arizona. Instead, they walked off the field on the wrong end of another brutal finish. Pavin Smith launched a 2-run walk-off homer off Michael Fulmer in the bottom of the 9th Saturday night, handing the Yankees a 5-3 loss to the Diamondbacks at Chase Field.

Aaron Judge is headed back to the injured list, and the Yankees have to stop thinking about September and start thinking about October. The Yankees will place Judge on the 10-day IL Saturday with a right calf strain, according to Bryan Hoch. A corresponding roster move will follow. The injury started Wednesday in Minnesota, when

The ultimate addition to any Yankees PC! This is the iconic 1992 Bowman #302 Mariano Rivera Rookie Card featuring a perfect PSA/DNA Gem Mint 10 signature. This isn't your standard HOF signature—Mo han...

The Yankees had every chance to steal this game. Instead, they struck out 17 times, left 13 runners on base and eventually watched the Minnesota Twins walk them off, 5-4, in 13 innings Wednesday night at Target Field. Victor Caratini ended it with a single up the middle off John Schreiber, scoring automatic runner Luke

The Yankees already punched their ticket to October. Tuesday night, they played like a team that still has bigger business to handle. Max Fried gave New York 7 strong innings, Cody Bellinger started the night with a 2-run homer, Spencer Jones blew the game open with a 3-run shot, and the Yankees rolled past the

The Yankees are officially going back to October. It took them 7 innings to wake up Monday night in Minnesota, but once they did, the Twins had absolutely no answer. New York erupted for 6 runs in the 8th inning, Aaron Judge finally launched his first home run since returning from the injured list, and

Aaron Judge finally gave Yankees fans the swing they were waiting for. And when it came, there was no doubt. Judge crushed a three-run home run in the eighth inning Monday night against the Minnesota Twins at Target Field, his first homer since returning from a three-month absence with a right rib stress fracture. Cap

The Yankees have spent months fighting through injuries, lineup changes, ugly stretches and a division race that refused to go away. Now they can officially punch their ticket to October. New York opens a 3-game series against the Minnesota Twins on Monday night at Target Field with a postseason magic number of just 1. Win

Aaron Judge did not hesitate when the subject of Cam Schlittler came up. MVP? Judge understands the argument. Schlittler has pitched like one of the most valuable players in baseball. But Judge also made his position pretty clear. Give Cam the Cy Young. “He’s definitely pitching like an MVP,” Judge said. “But they got a

Cam Schlittler did it again. And at this point, the Yankees are not just watching a great young pitcher develop. They are watching one of the best pitchers in baseball take over games. Schlittler allowed just 1 hit over 6 scoreless innings Sunday as the Yankees shut out the Mets, 2-0, at Yankee Stadium to

The Yankees came into Saturday riding a 4-game winning streak. Then the Mets walked into Yankee Stadium and absolutely buried them. New York got hammered 12-2 in a Subway Series game that was basically over before the Yankees offense ever had a chance to get comfortable. Gerrit Cole was hit hard, the bullpen eventually turned

Anthony Volpe came back to the Bronx and immediately reminded everybody that September can get weird fast. Recalled from Triple-A earlier Thursday, Volpe went 3-for-4 with a grand slam, a stolen base and a career-high 5 RBI as the Yankees destroyed the Colorado Rockies 10-3 at Yankee Stadium. New York completed the 3-game sweep, improved

Anthony Volpe is back in the Bronx. And the timing could not be more important for the Yankees. New York recalled Volpe from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre ahead of Thursday night's series finale against the Colorado Rockies, while Jazz Chisholm Jr. was placed on the 10-day injured list with a sprained right thumb. Chisholm injured the thumb

George Lombard Jr. gave the Yankees one of their biggest swings of the season Wednesday night at Yankee Stadium. With 2 outs and the bases loaded in the 3rd inning, the 21-year-old rookie drove a slider into the right-field seats for his first career grand slam, turning a 1-0 Yankees lead into a 5-0 advantage

Ain't it grand, George? #RepBX | @georgelombardjr pic.twitter.com/dku8kDsXXC — New York Yankees (@Yankees) September 10, 2026 George Lombard Jr. delivered the biggest swing of his young Major League career Wednesday night at Yankee Stadium. The 21-year-old rookie shortstop crushed his first career grand slam against the Colorado Rockies, turning a tight game into an early

The Yankees finally got Aaron Judge back. And basically 24 hours later, another major piece of their lineup goes down. Jazz Chisholm Jr. is headed to the 10-day injured list with a sprained right thumb after injuring himself on a headfirst slide into second base Tuesday night against the Colorado Rockies. So now the question

Aaron Judge finally returned to the Yankees lineup Tuesday night. But once again, Cam Schlittler made sure the biggest story on the field was him. Schlittler struck out 10 over 7 dominant innings, Heliot Ramos delivered the late knockout blow, and the Yankees beat the Colorado Rockies 5-3 at Yankee Stadium to improve to 82-62

Aaron Judge is back. And apparently, so is the Yankees tax. The Yankees captain has not played since May 31. That is 84 games missed. Three months of waiting. A stress fracture in his right rib that turned what looked like a routine defensive play into a massive problem for a team that desperately needed

Aaron Judge is back. And if you’re wondering whether the Yankees just got the biggest possible boost with the postseason sitting right in front of them, the answer is pretty obvious. The New York Yankees announced Monday that they have reinstated captain and right fielder Aaron Judge from the 60-day injured list, officially ending a

Cam Schlittler is doing everything the Yankees could possibly ask him to do. The 25-year-old right-hander is putting together a season that belongs in the same conversation as the best pitching seasons in baseball. A 2.04 ERA. A 0.94 WHIP. 210 strikeouts in 171.2 innings. An All-Star selection. A legitimate Cy Young case. And somehow,

The Yankees may have just gotten the answer to their Spencer Jones problem. It wasn't the way anyone wanted it to happen. Trent Grisham was placed on the 10-day injured list Saturday with a right hamstring strain after leaving Friday night's 3-2, 10-inning loss to the San Diego Padres. And while the Yankees still need

Well, that's more like it. After blowing Friday night's game in the 10th inning, the Yankees came right back Saturday afternoon and handled the Padres, beating San Diego 5-1 at Petco Park. And honestly, this was the type of response you wanted to see. No drama. No late-inning nonsense. Just jump on them early, get

Pitching is supposed to win baseball games. And if you looked at what the Yankees have done on the mound in 2026, you would probably assume they would be running away with the American League East. They aren't. With the Yankees sitting at 80-61 entering Saturday's game in San Diego, they are still four games

The Yankees were one strike away from escaping San Diego with a huge win. Instead, Luis Campusano made sure they left Petco Park with another frustrating loss. Campusano launched a two-run walk-off homer in the bottom of the 10th inning, sending the San Diego Padres to a 3-2 victory over the Yankees on Friday night.

The Yankees are getting closer to what could be the most important lineup decision of their September. It has nothing to do with whether Aaron

Cam Schlittler is officially running out of Yankees records to chase. The 25-year-old right-hander added another historic performance to his breakout 2026 season Wednesday night, throwing 8 dominant innings against the Los Angeles Angels and allowing just 1 run on 2 hits with 9 strikeouts and zero walks. That performance gave Schlittler his 19th start

The Yankees spent most of Wednesday night wasting one of the best pitching performances they have gotten all season. Then the 10th inning happened. New York exploded for 5 runs with 2 outs in the top of the 10th, turning a 1-1 pitchers' duel into a 6-3 victory over the Los Angeles Angels at Angel

Spencer Jones was talking about Tuesday night’s 7-3 Yankees win over the Los Angeles Angels at Angel Stadium, a game where New York jumped ahead early, nearly watched the lead disappear, then pulled away late. Jones was right in the middle of almost everything. The Yankees rookie launched a 2-run homer in the 1st inning,

ANAHEIM — The Yankees jumped on the Angels immediately, watched a comfortable lead shrink to 1 run in the 6th inning, then finally put the game away late. Spencer Jones homered for the 2nd straight night, Jazz Chisholm Jr. followed with a home run of his own, Cody Bellinger collected 3 hits and the Yankees

The Yankees walked into Anaheim coming off 2 big wins over Boston and then immediately reminded everyone how quickly momentum can disappear in baseball. New York opened its series against the Los Angeles Angels with an ugly 10-1 loss Monday night, falling to 78-60 while the Angels snapped a 7-game losing streak. And ugly might

The Yankees and Red Sox spent 4 innings locked in a scoreless game Sunday afternoon. Then the Yankees opened the floodgates. New York scored 5 runs in the 5th, added 1 in the 6th, another in the 7th and then completely embarrassed Boston with a 9-run 8th inning on the way to a 16-1 destruction

NEW YORK — The Yankees needed a response Saturday night, and after getting embarrassed earlier in the day, they finally gave one. New York bounced back from a lifeless 6-0 loss in the first game of the doubleheader by pounding the Boston Red Sox 9-2 in the nightcap at Yankee Stadium, splitting the twin bill

The Yankees didn’t exactly light up the scoreboard Friday night, but against the Red Sox, nobody is giving style points. Paul Goldschmidt provided the only run, Cam Schlittler kept Boston off the board, and Cody Bellinger delivered the defensive play of the night as the Yankees opened a huge 4-game series with a 1-0 win

The Yankees had a chance to finish off a solid homestand with another series win Thursday night. Instead, the offense went quiet, the defense got ugly again, and Houston walked out of Yankee Stadium with a 5-1 victory and 2 of 3 games in the series. This one was frustrating because Gerrit Cole gave the

Fernando Cruz waited until he was 32 years old just to throw his first pitch in the major leagues. Now, at 36, one MRI may have put the rest of his career in serious doubt. The Yankees right-hander has been diagnosed with a partial tear of the ulnar collateral ligament in his pitching elbow, according

The Yankees had one of those games Wednesday night where things could have gone sideways in a hurry. Instead, Cody Bellinger stepped up with the bases loaded and changed the entire night. Bellinger ripped a go-ahead 2-run double off the top of the center-field wall in the 7th inning, breaking a 3-3 tie and helping

The Yankees bullpen just took another hit at exactly the wrong time. New York placed right-handed reliever Fernando Cruz on the 15-day injured list Wednesday with right elbow discomfort, according to MLB.com’s Bryan Hoch. The move comes one night after Cruz struggled in a 9-7 loss to the Houston Astros at Yankee Stadium. And considering

The Yankees scored 7 runs, got a huge night from Luis García Jr., watched Cody Bellinger finally break out of his home run drought, and still somehow walked out of Yankee Stadium with a loss. That one is going to sting. Houston rallied late against the Yankees bullpen Tuesday night, scoring 6 runs after Will

For 5 innings Sunday afternoon, the Yankees and Blue Jays were stuck in another tight game where one mistake could change everything. Then the Yankees finally broke the door open. Ben Rice delivered a 2-run single in a huge 6th inning, Jazz Chisholm Jr. and Trent Grisham both went deep late, and the Yankees beat

The Yankees spent most of Saturday afternoon looking completely lost at the plate, then somehow gave themselves a chance to steal the game late. They just couldn't finish it. Toronto held on for a 4-3 win at Yankee Stadium, dropping New York to 73-56 after Dylan Cease carried a no-hitter into the 7th inning and

Giancarlo Stanton was supposed to be working his way back to the Yankees. Instead, the conversation has suddenly shifted to whether we will see him again at all in 2026. Manager Aaron Boone revealed Saturday that Stanton suffered a moderate-grade strain of his left calf after falling while running the bases during a rehab session

The Yankees didn't need 10 runs Friday night. They needed one big swing, a starter who refused to give Toronto anything easy, and a bullpen that knew how to finish the job. They got all 3. Spencer Jones homered for the second straight game, Cam Schlittler allowed just 1 run across 6 innings, and the
