    George Steinbrenner would have raised Yankees hell by now

    BUFFALO — Well, the manager hasn’t been able to rally the troops so the GM hopped on a plane and tried to do his part. Once upon a time, 11 summers back, he’d done a similar trick when the Yankees were going through some doldrums. That time was Atlanta. That summer was 2009. That team …

    Yankees fall to .500 after suffering fifth consecutive loss

    This is what it sounds like when bats die. One night after wasting a rare river of runs, the Yankees morphed into hitters who used soaked editions of the N.Y. Post for bats against the Blue Jays on Tuesday night. J.A. Happ provided a cure for the ills that have infected the Yankees across the …

    Brian Cashman holds ‘rare’ meeting with free-falling Yankees

    Brian Cashman planned on traveling to Buffalo for the Yankees’ three-game series against the Blue Jays at Sahlen Field before his club went into a deep funk that could cost it a ticket to the expanded postseason. Cashman arrived Monday and had private discussions. Tuesday he felt a need to address the struggling team as …

    Yankees making the playoffs is no longer a sure thing

    BUFFALO — This was a case study of baseball as water torture. A walk. A fly ball. Another walk. Time came to a screeching halt inside Sahler Field. They ratcheted the crowd noise up a little. And then a lot. They started playing this horrendous white-noise sound effect, and the parade of base runners continued …

    Loss sends Yankees to new low as Blue Jays post 10-run inning

    When Brian Cashman parachuted into Sahlen Field to watch his free-falling Yankees on Monday he had to understand how deep in the wilderness it was. Still, as the GM witnessed the Yankees not only flush a four-run lead in the bottom of the sixth when the Blue Jays reached double figures in runs against Chad …

    How Yankees must tackle shocking reality before it’s too late

    BUFFALO — OK, so maybe you didn’t expect the Yankees’ first-ever excursion here to carry the kind of weight it’s going to. It’s all but certain you didn’t expect them to come here looking up at the Blue Jays, who are using Buffalo as a homestead in this summer of the virus. And … well, …

    Yankees irked by Miguel Andujar error on ‘play we have to make’

    BALTIMORE — Third basemen are instructed to go after every ground ball toward the hole if they feel a clean play can be made. So when Miguel Andujar started moving to his left on Pedro Severino’s grounder to start the sixth inning Sunday at Camden Yards, it appeared shortstop Tyler Wade was in better position …

    Yankees hit rock bottom in another loss to Orioles

    BALTIMORE — The only thing the Yankees hit Sunday in Camden Yards was rock bottom. And if losing three of four to the Orioles isn’t the lowest Aaron Boone’s team can go, the rest of a very short season is going to feel awfully long. Even without Aaron Judge, Giancarlo Stanton and James Paxton, it’s …

    Yankees bench struggling Gary Sanchez in favor of Erik Kratz

    It appears that Saturday night’s woeful performance was the last straw. Gary Sanchez was benched on Sunday by Aaron Boone in favor of Erik Kratz and it is uncertain how long he will remain there. The Yankees’ manager was vague about how the length of this break after saying on Saturday Sanchez would catch on …
