Ivan Nova looks to build on his first career win and help the AL East-leading Yankees match a season high with a seventh straight victory facing the visiting Blue Jays...

Managers tend to fret over their batting orders, obsess about their bullpens, stay up nights thinking about how to properly align their starting rotations. It's what they do. If they didn't, if their eyes were missing circles underneath, we'd accuse them of stealing money. It is a...

Just call him CC Cy-bathia. The Yankees ace continued to build his case for the AL Cy Young award with a dominant, one-hit 5-0 victory to complete a four-game sweep of the Athletics in front of 46,644 fans. Sabathia was at his best, mowing through the Oakland lineup as...

Alex Rodriguez is going through his second high-profile divorce in two years. This one is with agent Scott Boras, who helped Rodriguez become the highest-paid player in sports. Sources confirmed yesterday that the Yankees third baseman has parted ways with Boras, putting an official end to a relationship that has...

Facing the Yankees for the first time since his infamous "Get off my mound!" game, it wasn't the red-hot Bombers that got to Dallas Braden, but the white-hot weather. The Athletics left-hander cramped up in 92-degree heat, knocking him out of a pitcher's duel with CC Sabathia. On...

Dallas Braden is disappointed in Yankee fans. The Oakland hurler joked earlier this week that the Bronx faithful "had a while to come up with some good stuff," and he expected to be derided by creative chants and boos during Thursday's start. Instead, he heard little from the home crowd.

For four blissful though sultry games this week, the Yankees were able to forget about Andy Pettitte's groaning groin and their October pitching uncertainties while camouflaging Derek Jeter's career-worst batting funk - all thanks to the Oakland A's, one sorry excuse for a major league baseball team.

Alex Rodriguez confirmed that he has split with famed agent Scott Boras. "I'm not going to get into any details, that's for sure," the game's highest-paid player said Friday. "But what I will tell you is Scott and I had a good run, nothing drastic happened. "

NEW YORK — First the Yankees got good news from a pitcher who is hurt. Then they got a positive performance from one who has taken a beating.

Joe Girardi believes he’ll have Alex Rodriguez back in the lineup on Sunday. “Everything has gone good so far,” Girardi said. “I believe we’ve got a good shot of having him.” Rodriguez seems more cautiously optimistic. “I’m going to wait and see,” he said. “Today was a good day. Tomorrow’s a big test. I’m hoping that [...]

There are a few clouds in the sky, but the sun in shining at Yankee Stadium this morning, and that seems to be a good sign. A few days ago, the forecast suggested there was very little chance the Yankees would actually play this game — and I don’t think anyone was looking forward to playing [...]

   No Derek Jeter today -- Joe Girardi says no injury, just a day off -- and Nick Swisher's knee was too sore and swollen to allow him to play today, so an unusual Yankee lineup for the opener of the three game set with the Blue Jays. But the mani point of interest today is starting pitcher Ivan Nova, making his third ML start and first at Yankee Stadium. The rematch with Toronto slugger Jose Bautista, who homered off Nova at the Rogers Centre on August 23 and later stepped toward him on the mound after he thought a pitch strayed a little too close, should be worth watching.  Here are today's...

From Eduardo Nunez’s three-hit four-RBI career night on the South Side of Chicago to CC Sabathia’s dominating one-hitter in the Bronx, with the help of Baseball-Reference.com, here’s a look back at the best in “Yankeemetrics” from this past week: AUGUST 28 at WHITE SOX Nunez had three hits and four RBI in his ninth career game. He is just the fourth Yankee since 1920 with at least three hits and at least four RBI in a game within his first 10 career games with the team. The others were Brian Dayett on September 18, 1983; Tommy Henrich on May 16, 1937; and Jesse ...
