New York Yankees news, rumors and injuriesYankees | Francisco Cervelli's hit streak ends Wed, 30 Jul 2014 22:25:11 -0700 New York Yankees C Francisco Cervelli was hitless in three at-bats with a strikeout Wednesday, July 30, against the Texas Rangers, snapping his career-high 10-game hitting streak. Comment () | Share: Wed, 30 Jul 2014 20:03:33 -0700 Texas Rangers OF Alex Rios might be dealt before the non-waiver trade deadline Thursday, July 31, but the New York Yankees are not believed to be in on Rios at this time. Comment () | Share: Yankees | Might be pursuing Marlon Byrd Wed, 30 Jul 2014 20:03:06 -0700 Philadelphia Phillies OF Marlon Byrd might be on the move before the non-waiver trade deadline Thursday, July 31. The New York Yankees have talked to the Phillies about Byrd, though no deal is close yet. The Yankees are looking to add another bat. However, the Yankees do not seem to love the $8 million salary Byrd carries for the 2015 season. Comment () | Share: Yankees | Expressed interest in Josh Willingham Wed, 30 Jul 2014 17:42:35 -0700 Minnesota Twins OF Josh Willingham has reportedly drawn some interest from the New York Yankees leading up to the non-waiver trade deadline Thursday, July 31. The Seattle Mariners have also shown an interest. Fantasy Tip: If Willingham were to land in New York, his playing time likely would decrease somewhat, as they have a glut of outfielders already. As such, his already marginal fantasy appeal would also decrease. Comment () | Share: Yankees | Brian McCann, Brian Roberts sitting Wed, 30 Jul 2014 13:48:39 -0700 New York Yankees C Brian McCann and 2B Brian Roberts (fatigue) are both out of the starting lineup Wednesday, July 30. Fantasy Tip: McCann is likely taking a routine day of rest, while Roberts is receiving an extra day off to get over his fatigue issues. Both players need to be on your bench for tonight's game. Comment () | Share: Yankees | Still interested in Marlon Byrd Wed, 30 Jul 2014 13:31:04 -0700 Philadelphia Phillies OF Marlon Byrd is still attracting interest from the New York Yankees, but the Yanks are worried of Byrd's vesting option for the 2016 season. Comment () | Share: Yankees | Talking about John Danks Wed, 30 Jul 2014 11:45:26 -0700 Chicago White Sox SP John Danks is being discussed in trade talks with the New York Yankees, but the teams are both far apart in terms of a package deal. Danks has two years left on his $65 million, five-year deal. The Yankees would prefer to move P David Phelps back to the bullpen. Comment () | Share: Yankees | Interested in Joaquin Benoit Wed, 30 Jul 2014 10:46:20 -0700 San Diego Padres RP Joaquin Benoit is generating interest from the New York Yankees, but the Padres are still unsure if they'd like to trade him after trading RP Huston Street. However, there is a decent market building for Benoit now that RP Joakim Soria is also off the market. Comment () | Share: Yankees | Francisco Cervelli can still be serviceable Tue, 29 Jul 2014 17:15:12 -0700 New York Yankees C Francisco Cervelli was pressed into regular duty with 1B Mark Teixeira (lat, back) sidelined, and C Brian McCann working at first base. Cervelli has hit safely in a career-high 10 games, and manager Joe Girardi said it is a reminder Cervelli can be serviceable catcher at the big league level. "Great job. I said it last year; Cervy's talented," Girardi said Tuesday, July 29. "It's unfortunate, some of the injuries he's had - broken hand, broken wrist, concussion. But Cervy's player for us and he's played well. He's been thrown into pennant races and everything. We just need to keep him healthy." Fantasy Tip: With Teixeira back in the lineup Tuesday, and McCann back behind the dish, and the brittle Carlos Beltran serving as DH, Cervelli returned to the bench. He is only worth a look in the deepest of AL-only fantasy leagues despite his recent success at the plate. Comment () | Share: Yankees | Brian Roberts sidelined Tue, 29 Jul 2014 17:14:43 -0700 New York Yankees 2B Brian Roberts (fatigue) might be dealing with some fatigue and aches, manager Joe Girardi said Tuesday, July 29. Roberts will get a couple of days off to recharge. Fantasy Tip: Reserve the brittle Roberts until he is able to return to the lineup and prove his health in one full game without any setbacks. Comment () | Share: Yankees | Kelly Johnson to play rehab games Tue, 29 Jul 2014 17:13:56 -0700 New York Yankees 3B Kelly Johnson (groin) is expected to come off the 15-day disabled list when eligible. Manager Joe Girardi said Tuesday, July 29, that Johnson will likely play in a minor-league rehab game or two. Comment () | Share: Yankees | Michael Pineda tosses sim game Tue, 29 Jul 2014 17:13:21 -0700 New York Yankees SP Michael Pineda (back) threw a simulated game Tuesday, July 29. Manager Joe Girardi said the session was "really good." The next outing will be a minor-league rehab game, working either four innings or 60-65 pitches Sunday, Aug. 3, for an affiliate to be determined. Once he makes that rehab outing, that will begin a 30-day rehab clock, which, hopefully, will mean a return to the team sometime in August. Comment () | Share: Yankees | Mark Teixeira back in, Brian Roberts sitting Tue, 29 Jul 2014 13:48:01 -0700 New York Yankees 1B Mark Teixeira (lat) is back in the starting lineup Tuesday, July 29, but 2B Brian Roberts is sitting. Fantasy Tip: Get Tex back into your starting lineups if you own him. Roberts is likely taking a routine day off. Comment () | Share: Yankees | Not looking at Justin Masterson Tue, 29 Jul 2014 09:54:40 -0700 Cleveland Indians SP Justin Masterson is not on the radar of the New York Yankees as the trade deadline approaches, although they continue to look for starting pitching upgrades. It's a gamble to trade for Masterson, since he has been on the disabled list with an inflamed right knee and will be making his first start back Friday, Aug. 1, a day after the deadline. Comment () | Share: Yankees | Mark Teixeira feeling better Tue, 29 Jul 2014 09:04:33 -0700 New York Yankees 1B Mark Teixeira (lat) made a pinch-hitting appearance in the eighth inning Monday, July 28, and was then lifted for a pinch runner. He took grounders and batting practice before the game with hopes of returning to the lineup Tuesday, July 29. He said the back spasms that have bothered him are gone. "I feel better now than I've felt in over a month," he said. Fantasy Tip: It looks like Teixeira will be able to avoid the disabled list now. Make sure you check the Yankees' starting lineup tonight before putting him back into your starting lineup. Comment () | Share:  |
