When Andy Pettitte faces hitters tomorrow, it won’t be simply a string of minor leaguers going head-to-head against the veteran.
Alex Rodriguez will take BP against Pettitte in what Rodriguez is hoping will be his final test before returning to the lineup on Sunday. Rodriguez wouldn’t promise a return on Sunday, but it seems at least [...]

We're in the home stretch and the Yankees, enjoying a 1.5 game lead in the division, and an 8 game cushion for the wild card spot, are sitting pretty. So hopefully it's not too premature to start looking ahead a...

Still no lineup from the Yankees, but Joe Girardi just announced that Derek Jeter will have a routine day off. Ramiro Pena will start at shortstop, Eduardo Nunez at third.
Girardi has yet to post a full lineup because he has not checked with Nick Swisher to find out whether Swisher can play.

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 [...]

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.

The saga of Derek Jeter is now a full-blown soap opera, one that will last through the postseason and as long as it takes to get his new contract done. Jeter's upcoming exercise in commerce will make Darrelle Revis' holdout look like a guy trying to get a discount on a used car.

Contrary to published reports indicating Alex Rodriguez fired agent Scott Boras, the Major League Baseball Players Association confirmed Thursday that Boras is still listed as A-Rod's agent in the union's database of players and their agents.

The Padres took Ivan Nova in the 2008 Rule 5 draft but returned him to the Yankees late in 2009 spring training. Nova, now 23, is slated to make his third start of the season Friday when the Yanks open a three-game series with Toronto.

Maybe they should just give CC Sabathia the award now.
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...

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...

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.

Sources confirmed yesterday that the Yankees third baseman has parted ways with Boras, putting an official end to a relationship that has...

Jorge Posada blasted his 17th home run of the season in the second inning yesterday and made an apology on his way around the bases.
As Posada jogged toward third base, umpire Dana DeMuth made sure to walk close enough to get Posada's ear. DeMuth threw Posada out of...

I’m sure all of us have had our lives affected by cancer in one way or another, so I’m more than happy to post this release from the Yankees.
The New York Yankees today announced a special triple play during the month of September, with three upcoming cancer awareness events at Yankee Stadium. In [...]

Not surprisingly, one of the reporters at the game today asked Jorge Posada a question about CC Sabathia’s consistency this season, and how important it was considering all the rest of the issues that have befallen the other Yankees starters. As soon as Posada saw where the question was going, he began to shake his [...]
