BALTIMORE – If there were a higher league to hit in, Aaron Judge would belong there. The Yankees’ captain put the finishing touches on a sensational first month-plus on Wednesday evening, homering as part of a three-hit, three-RBI performance, though he was left waiting on deck at the conclusion of

The first month of the season is in the books, but there's plenty of action in store. There are races to track in all of the divisions, milestones within reach for star players and it's never too early to think about who will capture some coveted hardware. And there's only

BALTIMORE -- When the Orioles and Yankees get together, there’s always the potential for tensions to flare during a heated American League East rivalry. It happened again Wednesday night at Camden Yards. The benches cleared during the bottom of the fourth inning of Baltimore’s 5-4 win over New York following

New York-based sluggers have maintained their stranglehold on the top of the Hitter Power Rankings. But a Midwestern star has jumped into the top three, while three new names with hot bats have broken into the top 10 since our last edition two weeks ago. Once again, the Hitter Power

The Minor League season is a month old and several of the game's best hitting prospects are off to fast starts. Red Sox outfielder Roman Anthony is tearing up Triple-A (just like he did at the end of last year), Padres shortstop Leo De Vries is leading the High-A Midwest

BALTIMORE -- Aaron Judge’s statistics already seem larger than life, and now the Yankees’ captain is getting the full treatment as an anime hero.

BALTIMORE – The official announcement over the public-address system in the Camden Yards press box prompted more than a few quizzical stares, sharing that Yankees infielder Jazz Chisholm Jr. had exited Tuesday’s game with “right flank discomfort.” The concern was, as manager Aaron Boone would later reveal, in the area

BALTIMORE – The telephone rang in the visitors’ bullpen during the top of the eighth inning on Monday night, representing the Yankees’ first call for Devin Williams since displacing him from the closer’s role.

NEW YORK -- Happy Birthday, Aaron Judge!

NEW YORK – Patience is the key to success when one is in the batter’s box. In the first game of Sunday’s doubleheader at Yankee Stadium, the Yankees made it a grind for right-hander Kevin Gausman in an 11-2 victory over the Blue Jays. During the first two innings, Gausman

NEW YORK -- Right-hander Devin Williams is out as the Yankees’ closer -- for now. The job belongs to Luke Weaver, who had the role during the final two months of last year, including the postseason. The decision to remove Williams as the ninth-inning guy came two days after Williams

Far be it from us to pretend that Aaron Judge hasn’t been the recipient of enough positive media coverage over the last half-decade – you may have noticed the video game cover and the pair of American League Most Valuable Player Awards – but there’s also a danger in his

Throughout his emergence as the most prodigious power hitter since Barry Bonds, throughout multiple historic home run seasons, Aaron Judge set up in the batter's box more or less the same way -- with the same "open" style of batting stance. He had the open stance in 2017, when he
