Yankees Highlights: Didi Gregorius’ grand slam caps off epic comeback
Photo by Al Bello/ Remember when the offense was slumping? Me either. This series has been one of extremes, hasn’t it? Yesterday the Yankees suffered what felt like the worst loss of the season. Tonight the Bombers rallied for a thrilling comeback, one that had 2017 Wild Card Game vibes. It was phenomenal. We’ll have a full recap up soon. In the meantime, here are some highlights: Winner of the Game That eighth inning, y’all. That might have been the best inning of the season. It started with the Yankees down by one. Gleyber Torres drew a leadoff walk, but Brett Gardner and DJ...

Gleyber Torres has been as advertised
Kim Klement-USA TODAY Sports As a prospect, the young infielder was praised for his approach and discipline. Those qualities have built the core of his true breakout season Three years ago, Yankees management closed the door on one era of baseball and opened another. After a sweep at the hands of the Tampa Bay Rays, the Yankees, loaded with aging veterans, decided it was time to change course. Before long, Carlos Beltran and Andrew Miller were shipped to Texas and Cleveland, but the biggest trade actually came first: Aroldis Chapman went to the Cubs for a package headlined by Gleyber...

Yankees best Marcus Stroman, Blue Jays in 4-2 victory
Yanks’ pitching dominates as New York takes another home series The Yankees faced the Toronto Blue Jays in the rubber match of a three-game set on Sunday afternoon. Masahiro Tanaka took the mound for New York, and Marcus Stroman for Toronto. Stroman came into the game with nine career starts in Yankee Stadium with a 2-5 record and 6.37 ERA. After going down 1-2-3 in the first inning, the Yanks would have quite the different second. Luke Voit reached on an infield single to start the inning, then Gleyber Torres followed by ripping a double down the left field line, advancing Voit to...

Gleyber Hates Orange: A very scientific study
Beyond his Orioles domination, Gleyber Torres has had success against other teams with a certain theme. It is well-worn territory that Gleyber Torres had destroyed the Orioles this season. In 12 games, he has hit Baltimore pitching to the tune of .465/.540/1.233 with ten home runs, 13 RBI, and one very distressed broadcaster. However, on June 20th, I came up with a theory. On that day, the Yankees were playing the Astros. Torres went 2-4 with a home run and three RBI. A couple weeks later on July 3rd, he again went 2-4, this time driving home two runs. It was at that point that I began to...

NYY vs. TBR: CC Sabathia vs. Blake Snell
The Yankees look to take the first three out of this four-game set. With their extra-inning victory last night, the Yankees stretched their division lead to 8.5 games. The Bombers will look to extend that lead today with CC Sabathia on the mound. The veteran lefty should be very well rested as the last time he pitched was 12 days ago, when he hurled six innings of two-run ball against the Blue Jays. In his last outing against the Rays in mid-June, Sabathia went six innings striking out nine and surrendering two runs on six hits. Didi Gregorius gets the day off as Gleyber Torres slides over...

Yankees battle through more wild late innings, beat Rays 8-4
It took extra innings for the second straight night, but the Yankees won another game down at the Trop. The Yankees and Rays started this series with a wild extra-inning affair, and apparently decided they wanted more of the same tonight. The standard nine innings held plenty of intrigue, but the fireworks didn’t come out until the 11th inning rolled around. Aaron Judge led off the inning against Ryne Stanek, and deposited the first pitch he saw into center field. Judge’s ninth blast of the season broke a 4-4 tie, but the Yankees weren’t satisfied with a one-run lead. Gleyber Torres...

Gio Urshela escapes serious injury; John Sterling misses first game in nearly 30 years; Domingo German’s performance could alter team’s deadline strategy; Gleyber Torres finally makes it onto the All-Star team.

Gleyber Torres named to American League All-Star team
The young Yankees star is the injury replacement for Brandon Lowe One of the big talking points in Yankees circles this week was the snubbing of the budding superstar Gleyber Torres from this year’s All-Star festivities.

After being left off the initial round of reserves, Torres will be in Cleveland next week, making the All-Star team as an injury replacement for the Rays’ Brandon Lowe. It’s Torres’ second time named to the team, as he was...

Rumors have circulated about Clint Frazier, though the team reportedly won’t trade him for a rental (like Madison Bumgarner). He could be moved if Cashman can shake loose a player under team control for a...
