    Gleyber Torres not in lineup as Yankees fear ‘bigger’ injury issue

    Gleyber Torres’ left quad is acting up again and it kept him out of the Yankee lineup Tuesday. It’s the same quad that Torres injured last month and kept him on the injured list for more than two weeks, but Aaron Boone said he expects Torres to be back soon this time and that the …

    Giancarlo Stanton among Yankees’ much-needed reinforcements

    Giancarlo Stanton is back. The next question is, can he stay healthy the rest of the season? Stanton was activated before Tuesday’s series opener against the Blue Jays in The Bronx — along with Gio Urshela and Jonathan Loaisiga. Stanton is the DH and hitting cleanup while Urshela is starting at third base. Stanton had …

    Yankees’ path to World Series could be never-ending road trip: Sherman

    If the Yankees are to win their first World Series since 2009 they almost certainly are going to have to become road warriors. In the most extreme example of what the Yankees could be facing, they would be leaving their homes after this Thursday’s game vs. the Blue Jays and if they were to get …
  • MLB’s perfect playoffs is a Yankees dream and Astros nightmare: Sherman

    MLB’s perfect playoffs is a Yankees dream and Astros nightmare: Sherman

    To complete this season, MLB has needed an algorithm and Alvin Ailey’s spirit. Scheduling could not be done in 2020 without a computer and choreography. What already was going to be difficult — shoehorning 60 games into 66 days — had the degree of difficulty intensified by games postponed due to coronavirus cases, social justice …

    Deivi Garcia has ‘so many’ questions after talking to idol Pedro Martinez

    Yankees rookie hurler Deivi Garcia likely lived out his childhood dream when he received a call from his idol Pedro Martinez after his MLB debut on Aug. 30.

    Yankees winning losable games again just in the nick of time

    Let’s winnow down Saturday’s ballgame at Yankee Stadium to a single word: Losable. When you commit three errors, when you go 0-for-8 with runners in scoring position, when your guy hits the ball the hardest of anyone and it’s an out, when their guy drives in a run with a blooper … stir, add bourbon …

    Yankees escape with ugly walk-off win over Orioles

    The Yankees didn’t hit much overall, nor in the clutch, and fielded poorly Saturday against the Orioles. Yet, they extended their winning streak to four games because Jordan Montgomery, Chad Green, Zack Britton and Aroldis Chapman dominated, and Luke Voit came through in the 10th inning with a sacrifice fly that lifted the Yankees to …

    Yankees help distract fan from cancer: ‘This is still my life’

    For years, baseball was a pleasant diversion for Jan Bottone, who liked to consider herself a devoted yet casual fan of the game. For years, basketball was her thing. She’d gone to high school with the great Calvin Murphy in Norwalk, Conn., so hoops fed most of her sporting interests. It wasn’t until around 2000, …

    Mark Newman, a key front-office figure in the Yankees’ 1996-2000 dynasty, died Saturday at 71, The Post has learned.

    Yankees’ long-term issues have been exposed: Sherman

    They were 84-59, cruising to a division title and looking every bit the champion of the two previous years. Then the 2000 Yankees forgot how to win. For three weeks, they were the majors’ worst team. No hyperbole — the worst team. They closed at 3-15 and were outscored by 89 runs (the average game …
