Yankees News

The Yankees' lukewarm vibe is heating up as Max Fried prepares to return from the IL just in time for a critical series against the Boston Red Sox. With a record of 75-58, the team desperately needs to capitalize on Fried's return and Cam Schlittler's recent 200 strikeouts, as they eye the AL East crown. Yet, a lackluster performance against the Astros,highlighted by a baffling decision to pull Gerrit Cole after a hanging curveball,raises concerns about the pitching staff's durability. Meanwhile, the shadow of Fernando Cruz's potential Tommy John surgery looms over a bullpen that already feels stretched thin. The Yankees might be just four games above .500, but with a plus-11 run differential in the last week, they still have the tools to turn things around. Each game against Boston counts now more than ever.

Schlittler notches 200th K, but ace is after AL East crown

He’s more interested in what is still yet to come, especially with the Yankees charging toward September. “I think,” Schlittler said, “the division is wide open.”

Yankees win with the bare minimum behind brilliant pitching, a familiar territory

How many scoring chances can two teams accumulate without actually driving in runs? The Yankees and Red Sox played a game hellbent on figuring that out. In the end, one timely homer from Paul Goldschmidt was enough to supplement the effort from Cam Schlittler, the Yankees’ bullpen, and left fielder Cody Bellinger to earn a […]

New York Yankees vs. Boston Red Sox: Cam Schlittler vs. Patrick Sandoval

The concept of a must-win game in the regular season is a flawed one 99.9 percent of the time. Acknowledging that, the context of this series opener against the Red Sox has enough sticking points for it not to be treated as just another game. Facing a team that seemingly came out of nowhere to […]
