Yankees News

The Yankees made a bold move today by designating Oswaldo Cabrera for assignment, clearing the way for Clarke Schmidt's return from the injured list. This roster shake-up highlights the urgency of their situation as they cling to a postseason spot with an 88-64 record. Even after a tough 4-5 loss to the Twins, the Yankees are riding a 5-2 wave with a +12 run differential over the last week, suggesting their wins aren’t just lucky breaks. However, questions loom over whether this playoff-tested squad can rise to the occasion, especially with the pressure mounting from Carlos Lagrange’s return. Young postseason first-timers will need to step up if the Yankees want to make noise in October. The stakes are high, and the clock is ticking.

Yankees Sequence of the Week: Max Fried (9/15)
It wouldn’t have been a proper Yankees-Twins series in Minnesota without a game that devolved into extra-innings madness. The Yankees failed to cash in multiple bases loaded opportunities and so missed a chance to sweep, falling farther behind the Rays in the standings. Nonetheless, the Bombers took care of business in the first two games […]
