Covering the #Yankees for NJ Advance Media (http://NJ.com & The Star-Ledger) | @MedillSchool | [email protected]
Cam Schlittler has developed into a potential "top-of-the-rotation starter" within the #Yankees' pitching department. Get to know the RHP, the son of a Boston-area police chief with the toughness to match his imposing 6-foot-6 frame and 99 mph fastball: nj.com/yankees/2025/0…
Aaron Boone on the #Yankees’ bullpen: “Devin’s really throwing the ball well. I feel like Weave is too and Hill. And Hammy has been up and down a little bit … gotta get Lo going. It’s a challenge right now, but we gotta have guys step up.”
With their ugly loss to the Phillies tonight, the #Yankees are now 5 1/2 games back in the AL East, their biggest deficit in the division of the season.
The #Yankees' bullpen is an absolute disaster. Tim Hill, Luke Weaver, Ian Hamilton and Scott Effross combined to give up ... 10 earned runs on nine hits over 3 1/3 innings tonight.
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.
#Yankees defense and their bullpen continue to cost them games this summer.
Giancarlo Stanton has now hit six home runs in his last 15 games.
Third time through and the Phillies break through against Will Warren. Trea Turner led off the fifth with a single (on a 0-2 pitch right over the plate) and then Kyle Schwarber crushed a first-pitch heater for a two-run homer to right-center. It's 2-2 now in the fifth.
That's 15 home runs now for Austin Wells in his first full season as the #Yankees' starting catcher. There's more potential for him offensively. And he's been elite in his framing behind the plate, managing the pitching staff.
Cody Bellinger is now hitting .287 with 19 home runs, a .852 OPS and 135 wRC+ That offseason trade with the Cubs continues to age like fine wine for the #Yankees.
There's "probably a good chance" Luis Gil makes another rehab assignment start before rejoining the #Yankees, Aaron Boone said today. No final decision on that yet, though. They're working through the decision as Gil throws a side and gets ready for his next outing.
Aaron Boone isn’t sure when Ryan McMahon will be here with the #Yankees. He hasn’t spoken to him yet and the trade became official moments ago. “Really good defender. Has had some ups and downs offensively this year, but over the past month, he’s swinging the bat well … we’re…
Ryan McMahon is not in the #Yankees' starting lineup tonight. Oswald Peraza is back at third base.
Back in the Bronx. #RepBX
Most defensive runs saved at third base since 2021: 1. Ke’Bryan Hayes, 86 2. Ryan McMahon, 54 3. Matt Chapman, 48 4. Nolan Arenado, 38 Most Outs Above Average at third base since 2021: 1. Ke’Bryan Hayes, 69 2. Nolan Arenado, 42 Ryan McMahon, 42 4. Matt Chapman, 39
Looks like the #Yankees have a new third baseman...
Breaking: The Yankees are acquiring 3B Ryan McMahon from the Rockies, per source. Colorado will receive two prospects in return.
Spencer Jones hit three home runs today. He’s up to 13 home runs in his first 19 games with Triple-A Scranton Wilkes-Barre, batting .400 with a 1.407 OPS in that span. Overall this season, Jones has swatted 29 homers in 68 games between AA and AAA…
Aaron Judge, still confident the #Yankees are a great team, was asked how frustrating it is that they haven't been able to get hot. "Oh, it's coming," he replied. "We haven't hit our hot streak yet, but we're going to. And when it does, watch out."
The #Yankees are now 11-18 against other AL East teams this season. They’re 3-7 against the Blue Jays which means they lost the season series. That could come back to bite them if they end up tied in the standings down the road.
Dreadful loss for the Yankees tonight. Way too many mistakes and errors to beat a team like the Blue Jays ... that's been a trend for the Yankees all summer long. With the loss, the Yankees drop to a four-game deficit behind Toronto in the AL East.
