Miguel Andujar’s return to The Bronx didn’t last long. He was optioned to the alternate site following Wednesday’s loss to Tampa Bay, the team announced Thursday. So far, Andujar has struggled badly in his new role as more of a bench player, something manager Aaron Boone acknowledged before the move was announced. “There’s no question …

You pay for the arm, sure. You damn sure pay for the fastball, which ticked to 99 a couple of times, and for the filthy breaking stuff, and for the swagger he carries himself with. You pay for the poise Gerrit Cole provides every time he steps on the mound, and for the fact by …

Gerrit Cole did his part to slow down the Rays’ dominance of the Yankees during this mini season, but it wasn’t enough to overcome very little support from the lineup and a costly error by Zack Britton. “Whether it is the Rays right now or anyone else any time it is Gerrit’s day that is …

If Aaron Judge and Giancarlo Stanton hadn’t beaten DJ LeMahieu to the injured list, the second baseman would still be bummed about being unable to play due to a sprained left thumb. That Judge and Stanton are also out makes dealing with the injury more difficult for the Yankees’ most complete hitter and another example …

These Rays, these Rays, these Rays. They’re the gum you can’t get off your shoe, the hiccup you can’t stop, the annoying high school classmate who tracks you down no matter how many times you change your number.

At some point the Yankees had to miss the firepower provided by Aaron Judge, Giancarlo Stanton and DJ LeMahieu. With that trio on the injured list, Masahiro Tanaka absorbed a beating and Rays lefty Blake Snell provided far too many hills for the Yankees to climb on the way to a 6-3 loss at Yankee …

Saturday is the first day Aaron Judge is eligible to come off the injured list and rejoin the Yankees. This past Sunday, the right fielder, who has been out with a right calf strain, said he didn’t need to go on the IL which is an indication Judge could be ready to play Saturday against …

Just when the rivalry between the Yankees and Boston Red Sox seemed dead, Christian Vazquez fed the beast some trash talk. The first-place Yankees finished off a four-game sweep of the last-place Red Sox on Monday to extend their winning streak in the series to 10 games (seven this year) dating back to last season. …

This is the way it was — or at least the way it seemed — during the cozy 86 years that connected 1918 and 2004. For years, from New England, we would hear tortured tales of “The Rivalry,” about how the Red Sox could never quite get over the hump against their ancient rivals, the …

Aroldis Chapman stepped off the COVID-19 injured list and joined the Yankees on Monday night when they looked to sweep a four-game series against the rancid Red Sox at Yankee Stadium. Aaron Judge, out with a right calf problem, expects to bounce off the IL on Saturday, the first day he is eligible. That is …
