Ahead of Father's Day, I spoke with #Yankees RP Tim Hill. We discussed losing our dads to cancer, inheriting the genes that took them, our ongoing grief & more. The result is this deeply personal story. I hope it helps anyone having a tough time today. nydailynews.com/2025/06/15/gar…
The #Yankees, notably not playing in Toronto tonight, just made an error as Will Warren threw away a potential double play ball.
Went long on Aaron Boone's comments on the #Yankees defense here, including the stuff about it mostly just being an issue here in Toronto. Much like the Volpe "3 or 4 plays" stuff, that's just not the case, and hasn't been for some time. Judge also had a differing opinion on the…
Nick Kurtz just had one of the greatest games in baseball history. 6 for 6 with four home runs, six runs and eight RBIs. He is a 22-year-old rookie.
The #Yankees are 14-22 since June 13. Asked how they'll turn things around, Austin Wells said, "Keep going. On the pitching side, just get a little tighter with what we're trying to do. And on the hitter's side, keep going and working good at-bats and turning the lineup over as…
Vivas and Effross were officially optioned. McMahon will be the move for Vivas. Nothing corresponding for Effross yet. #Yankees
Jorbit Vivas' locker was being cleaned out postgame. Scott Effross was also packing his up. #Yankees
Aaron Boone when asked if he'd like to see the #Yankees' bullpen upgraded before the deadline: “All lines are in the water right now. All teams, there's a lot of talk, so you never know what's going to happen."

With another untidy loss in the books, the #Yankees are 5.5 games behind the Blue Jays in the American League East.
Big yikes
“Bodies, in particular, would be helpful.” - Matt Blake on the #Yankees' bullpen needs (though there would ideally be a lefty among multiple additions) More on the Bombers and the bullpen/deadline here: nydailynews.com/2025/07/25/tim…

The #Yankees entered play tonight with a 4.07 ERA as a bullpen, ranked 20th in MLB. They've allowed six more earned runs out of the 'pen tonight. This team needs upgrades out there badly ... and ASAP.
"Schwarby's gonna Scwarb." - @pcaldera right before Kyle Schwarber clubbed his second 2-R HR of the night. #Phillies lead the #Yankees, 8-5.
Anthony Volpe just pulled another HR to get a run back for the #Yankees.
🆕 @NYDNSports: Anthony Volpe pulled the ball a lot over the weekend in Atlanta. The #Yankees SS said that's "obviously" the result he wants, but he wasn't "trying" to do so. Why is that? A look at the enigmatic hitter's thinking: nydailynews.com/2025/07/21/yan…
J.T. Realmuto follows with a 3-R HR off Luke Weaver. #Yankees down 6-3.
The #Yankees, still not in Toronto, just made another error. This one scores a game-tying run.

Giancarlo Stanton drives a solo HR into the #Yankees' bullpen to give NY a 3-2 lead.

Tim Hill is in for his 49th appearance of the season. #Yankees
With Tim Hill among the most-used pitchers in baseball, the #Yankees say they could use another lefty reliever before the trade deadline. “It would be helpful,” said Matt Blake, whose bullpen needs multiple "bodies." nydailynews.com/2025/07/25/tim…
A Schwarbomb in the Bronx has tied the game at 2. That's 35 HR for Kyle Schwarber this season.
This is awesome: the #Brewers had an alumni HR Derby... Every team should do this.
Love to see @Princefielder84 swinging it again ‼️
Another solo HR for the #Yankees, as Austin Wells takes a turn. He now has 15 this season.
