What do the Yankees do if Sonny Gray is hurt?
This team can’t deal with a major pitching injury Sonny Gray has been bad this year. Through four starts he has an 8.27 ERA and is only averaging four innings per start, which is nothing close to what you want to see from one of your best pitchers. Gray was once one of the best young arms in the game, yet an injury-riddled 2016 season has put his future in question. It’s why the Athletics were even willing to trade him away in the first place. If he’s damaged goods, the Yankees are going to be in trouble, and there’s already evidence to suggest he might be. In 2016, Gray missed time...

Yankees vs. Blue Jays: Jordan Montgomery vs. Marcus Stroman
Things have to get better soon, right? Maybe today against the struggling Stroman in a Saturday matinee. The Yankees failed to put together a winning streak last night after Sonny Gray continued to struggle in an 8-5 loss. The Bombers will look to avoid a losing streak in today’s matinee against Marcus Stroman and the Blue Jays. First pitch is scheduled for 1:05 ET and can be found on YES. SNET-1 or MLB Network (out of market only), or you can listen to the action on WFAN, WADO or SN590. Jordan Montgomery takes the bump for the Yanks, coming off a solid outing in which he allowed three...

NYY News: What a Toeriffic single
Ronald Torreyes threw his bat at a ball and got a single; Giancarlo Stanton hits a home run and gets a new Sterling HR call; Sonny Gray has not had a great April; the weather for April has been crap Cut4 | Eric Chesterton: There are probably more important stories in this link dump, which we will get to. First, we need to talk about Ronald Torreyes and a single he hit last night. It’s one of many singles that Toe has hit in his hot start to the season. For this single, he wasn’t even holding his bat. Torreyes quite literally threw his bat at the pitch and it went into left field for a...

Yankees 5, Blue Jays 8: Another rough outing for Sonny Gray
So much for those mechanical adjustments. During his last start, Sonny Gray was knocked around by the Red Sox and gave up six earned runs over three innings. He worked on making some mechanical adjustments over the past week, but we didn’t see any improvement tonight. The offense gave him a two-run lead to work with—twice—but neither lasted longer than half an inning. Toronto finally took the lead in the fifth inning and never looked back. This one can be chalked up to yet another frustrating loss for the Yankees. Marco Estrada has historically pitched well against the Yankees, but...

Yankees manager Aaron Boone won't let things get personal between pitchers and catchers

Yankees vs. Blue Jays: Sonny Gray vs. Marco Estrada
The Yankees could use a bounce-back outing from Sonny Gray. The Yankees just barely squeaked out a win last night to open this series. Things got dicey in the eighth inning when David Robertson worked his way into a bases-loaded jam, but he somehow escaped with the lead still intact. Even some of the Yankees’ wins haven’t felt easy. The bullpen is bound to improve, though, and team should start playing better as a whole anytime now. A bounce-back outing by Sonny Gray tonight could go a long way towards boosting team morale. Between the rain outs and scheduled off days, he hasn’t made...

Let’s be real about Sonny Gray
No, Gray isn’t as bad as fans think he is. Few players on the Yankees’ roster draw the ire of fans as much as Sonny Gray. The right-hander arrived in New York last summer and went from exciting addition to hate vessel in record time. He quickly developed a reputation for nibbling and being a five-and-fly pitcher. While these criticisms largely prove unwarranted, many still view him as a back-end starter and regret the trade entirely. It’s time to shake up the way we think about Gray. The 28-year-old presents an interesting opportunity to take a deep dive into what makes a starter...

Aaron Judge makes history by being fastest player ever to hit 60 home runs; Brandon Drury to take new medication for migraine/blurred vision issue; Jacoby Ellsbury gets another injury, because of course; Sonny Gray works with Rothschild to alter delivery; Gleyber Torres removed from Triple-A game for back stiffness MLB.com | Bryan Hoch: It would appear that Aaron Judge is okay at the whole baseball thing. Don’t believe me? Shame on you! Yesterday, his honor made baseball history with his fourth dinger of the year. That oppo-dong would be his 60th home run in 197 games played, which is the...

Yankees 3, Red Sox 6: New York rallies late, falls short at Fenway
This was an ugly loss. This was largely a terrible game for the Yankees. Sonny Gray was off from the get-go and never got back on track. To make matters worse, the offense couldn’t get anything going against Rick Porcello. It started raining around 8:00 ET, and continued to rain until they finally put the tarp on the field at 8:55. That also happened to occur right after the fifth inning ended and it became an official game. The game resumed 40 minutes later, and the Yankees finally broke up Porcello’s no-hitter in the seventh. A ninth-inning rally made things interesting, but the...
