Yankees News

Max Fried's return to the injured list with a bone bruise adds a fresh layer of concern for the Yankees as they look to maintain their grip on the playoff race. Thankfully, Carlos Rodón is set to return from his own IL stint, bringing hope as he faces Shane Baz in the next series. Last night, Trent Grisham became an unlikely hero, driving in all three runs in a narrow 3-1 victory over the Orioles, showcasing that the Yankees can still find offense, albeit from unexpected sources. With Aaron Judge's future clouded by injury uncertainties, the team must rally behind its pitching staff, which has been solid at 2.7 runs allowed per game over the last week. As the Yankees sit at 69-55, the road ahead remains challenging, but every win counts in this tight race.

Keeping focus on 'process,' surging Grisham knocks in all 3 Yankees runs

BALTIMORE – Trent Grisham would be the first to admit his season hasn’t measured up to expectations. The Yankees outfielder also knows it’s not too late to change the story. Grisham continued his recent offensive surge on Tuesday night, homering and driving in three runs in the Yankees’ 3-1 victory

Trent Grisham provides all the offense in Yankees’ win over Orioles

We’ve seen this game a lot lately. The starting pitcher has himself a good day, the bullpen has arguably a better day, and the lineup just manages to scratch across enough runs for the club to win. Tonight it wasn’t even “the lineup” so much as it was “just Trent Grisham”, but every win counts […]
