NYY @ LAD: Gerrit Cole vs. Michael Grove
Josh Donaldson celebrating the second of two home runs in his return from the IL last night. | Photo by Ronald Martinez/ Fresh off a two-homer night, Josh Donaldson and the Yanks will look to capitalize on a favorable pitching matchup. Last night, the Dodgers’ six-run first obscured the return of a quartet of Yankees, despite Josh Donaldson and Giancarlo Stanton’s best efforts. The two sluggers, out since April 5th and 15th, respectively, combined for three homers in just eight trips to the plate. Tommy Kahnle, meanwhile, made his long-awaited return to the Yankees...

Yankees recall Cabrera; Allen, Weber sent to IL
Steven Bisig-USA TODAY Sports Out in the bullpen, the injured Ryan Weber was also swapped out for lefty Nick Ramirez. Two days ago, in our staff post on Oswaldo Cabrera’s demotion among the roster moves to activate Giancarlo Stanton, Josh Donaldson, and Tommy Kahnle, we said this at the end (emphasis mine): This isn’t necessarily the end of the road for Oswaldo Cabrera in pinstripes, of course. The good thing is that he remains relatively young with a distinct possibility of returning in the event of further injury since he can play basically anywhere. With a roster...

Tommy Kahnle is back, throwing his changeup more than ever
Photo by Ronald Martinez/ Taking a look at Tommy Kahnle’s season debut with the Yankees. On an otherwise forgetful night for the Yankee faithful, as its ball club dropped the opener of this West Coast series 8-24to the Dodgers, there was little to spin on a positive note. There were a couple silver linings, though, among the proceedings, most notably Josh Donaldson’s huge return game, and also, the season debut of right-handed reliever Tommy Kahnle. Pitching against the team he departed in favor of the Yankees over the winter, Kahnle produced a scoreless outing in...

Rivalry Roundup: O’s extend lead with late homer
Photo by Ezra Shaw/ Baltimore got a bit of distance in their second-place standing after a late homer in San Fran. The Yankees got blitzed by the Dodgers in their series opener, giving up six runs in the first inning. It was basically over from there, though Josh Donaldson and Giancarlo Stanton had good showings in their return to the lineup at least. Meanwhile, their rivals were active before things even kicked off on the West Coast — aside from the Rays and Red Sox, who got rained out. Let’s see what went down: Baltimore Orioles (36-21) 3, San Francisco Giants...

Yankees 4, Dodgers 8: Nightmare first dooms New York
Photo by Ronald Martinez/ Luis Severino never really had it as he put the Yankees in a 6-0 hole, and the Dodgers are just too good. Gleyber Torres lined the first pitch of the game into left-center for a single, and that was the closest thing the Yankees had to momentum all night. Luis Severino was dreadful in his third start of the season, and the only New York hitters to make an impact were Josh Donaldson and Giancarlo Stanton, fresh off the IL. All in all, the Yankees dropped the opener in this matchup of baseball’s best brands, 8-4 to the Dodgers. The game really...

Yanks activate Stanton, Donaldson, Kahnle; option Oswaldo, Franchy, Krook
Photo by Sarah Stier/ Franchy Cordero and Matt Krook were all sent down to make room for Giancarlo Stanton, Josh Donaldson, and Tommy Kahnle. Oswaldo Cabrera’s rookie breakout in 2022 was always a bit of a surprise. Although he was generally ranked in the top 10-15 on prospect rankings of the Yankees’ organization, he was not a Top 100 guy industry-wide. The Yankees needed help last August and the switch-hitting 23-year-old was having a productive year in Triple-A, so they gave him a shot. Cabrera rewarded them with a strong .247/.312/.429, 111 wRC+ showing,...

NYY @ SEA: Clarke Schmidt vs. George Kirby
Photo by Dylan Buell/ The Yankees try to sweep Seattle before heading to Los Angeles this weekend. After taking the first two games of this three-game set in Seattle, both in convincing fashion, New York goes for the trifecta tonight. A win moves the Bronx Bombers to a season-high 12 games above .500 and sends them to the Thursday offday riding high, before going to LA this weekend to face the Dodgers (where all of Giancarlo Stanton, JOsh Donaldson, and Tommy Kahnle seem ready to join them). Clarke Schmidt takes the ball for the Yankees tonight. Thus far in 2023,...
