The Yankees’ options for the Scranton Shuttle are dwindling, as the team lost their second young reliever in a month to a torn UCL. Branden Pinder, who was called up last week to replace lefty Tyler Olson, has a torn UCL according to NJ.com’s Brendan Kuty, and is considering Tommy John surgery. He hasn’t decided whether […]

The Yankees scored more than two runs for just the second time in nine days Thursday night. Coming into the game, they were 5-1 when they scored three or more runs in 2016.

The Yankees’ bullpen depth took another hit on Monday. 24-year-old right hander Nick Rumbelow, currently pitching for Triple-A Scranton, will need to undergo Tommy John surgery according to multiple reports. Rumbelow was one of the members of the bullpen shuttle in 2015, pitching 15 ⅔ solid innings for New York. While he was beat out by Kirby Yates, […]

The Yankees’ bench faltered during their first test of the season today. Manager Joe Girardi opted to rest veterans Alex Rodriguez, Carlos Beltran, and Brian McCann, replacing them in the lineup with Dustin Ackley, Aaron Hicks, and Austin Romine. That trio went 0-9 in today’s 4-0 loss, and the result was a very different offense […]
