🔮 But as the García deal neared completion earlier this month, with his offense in desperate need of any help it could get, Aaron Boone sat in the visiting manager’s office at Wrigley Field and boiled the move down to one simple fact: “He rakes.” assertive

🔮 SAN DIEGO — Perhaps this will settle the problem of whether the Yankees should start Trent Grisham or Spencer Jones in center field once Aaron Judge returns. assertive

🔮 With three weeks left in the regular season, that means the Yankees center fielder “could be” out for the rest of it, Aaron Boone acknowledged Sunday. assertive

🔮 For as much as the Yankees spend in free agency and trades, when they take the field for their first playoff game this year, there will be a heavy dose of homegrown. assertive

🔮 Cabrera played three games for the Yankees this season, but has spent most of it at Scranton/Wilkes-Barre after finishing off his comeback from a grueling broken ankle that he suffered on a slide home last May in Seattle. assertive

🔮 Try it freeThat quest begins Friday, when Cole will take the mound against the Diamondbacks having allowed seven home runs over his last two starts, the most in any two-start span of his career. assertive

2026-09-18 · New York Post

🔮 For now, the Yankees were hoping Thursday’s off day, during which Judge was expected to receive more treatment on his leg, would be well-timed. assertive

2026-09-18 · New York Post

🔮 Sign Up NowBut otherwise, and more realistically, the final 10 games of the regular season are about getting guys healthy, keeping guys healthy and evaluating the final bits of information and performance that will shape the 26-man roster they submit for a second straight AL wild-card series against the Red Sox (barring a collapse from the Rays, who now lead the Yankees by five games with 10 to play). With three players currently on the injured list trying to work their way back in time for the start of the playoffs — and, they hope, Aaron Judge not joining that group after leaving Wednesday’s game early because of “right lower leg tightness” — plus the roster having to go from 28 in the regular season to 26 for the postseason, the Yankees will have plenty of decisions to make. assertive

2026-09-18 · New York Post

🔮 Aaron Boone was among those holding out some hope that the Yankees could keep Cabrera, if he went unclaimed, but it was not a surprise that another team scooped up the 27-year-old who has another minor league option remaining for next year and was batting .288 with a .790 OPS in 122 games at Triple-A this season. assertive

2026-09-18 · New York Post

🔮 Whether he will be ready by then, though, remains to be seen, creating major concerns for the Yankees as they head down the stretch without their best player. assertive

2026-09-19 · New York Post

🔮 Barring a Rays collapse, the Yankees will almost certainly be facing the Red Sox in the AL wild-card series, and Aaron Boone said before Friday’s game that he would expect Cole to make a start in that series despite getting roughed up of late. assertive

🔮 PHOENIX — Aaron Judge is on the injured list again, but the Yankees could get two key pieces back off of it by next week. mixed

2026-09-22 · New York Post

2026-09-22 · New York Post

🔮 The second baseman could be activated from the injured list as soon as Tuesday’s doubleheader against the Rays, and while the corresponding roster move appears simple (Max Schuemann), the potential lineup moves bear watching. mixed

2026-09-24 · New York Post

🔮 Rice’s production has helped the Yankees weather the extended absences of Judge and Giancarlo Stanton, and with neither guaranteed to be on the roster for the AL wild-card series because of their respective injuries, the Yankees will need Rice to stay hot after breaking out of a quieter summer. assertive

2026-09-24 · New York Post

🔮 As of Wednesday, the Yankees were still working through their plans for the rotation in the first round of the playoffs, with Aaron Boone only willing to go as far as saying Schlittler would pitch in one of the first two games. assertive

2026-09-25 · New York Post

2026-09-26 · New York Post

🔮 For a bullpen that has three (heavily used) sure things and a whole lot of question marks behind them entering the playoffs, Will Warren is trying to become one of the answers the Yankees will need to find. mixed

2026-09-26 · New York Post

🔮 Otherwise, nothing came his way, and while he could start there again Sunday if the Yankees are not washed out, Aaron Boone still considered the game valuable for Volpe. assertive

2026-09-27 · New York Post

🔮 Cam Schlittler will start Game 1 of the AL wild-card series against the Red Sox on Tuesday night at Yankee Stadium, the club announced Sunday, going with their dominant right-hander against his hometown team. assertive

🔮 The three-time MVP said he has still not run the bases, which is always a key hurdle for players to clear coming back from soft-tissue leg injuries, but indicated he has been running on an anti-gravity treadmill and left open the possibility that he could try running on the field later Monday. assertive

2026-09-29 · New York Post

🔮 History could repeat itself Tuesday night, with Boone having to decide whether to start the left-handed hitting Chisholm or the right-handed hitting Anthony Volpe at second base against southpaw Payton Tolle. assertive

2026-09-30 · New York Post

🔮 For the second straight year, Jazz Chisholm Jr. expected to be in the Yankees lineup for Game 1 of the AL wild card series. mixed

2026-09-30 · New York Post

🔮 Upon informing him that he would not be in the lineup for Game 1, Aaron Boone said he texted Chisholm to tell him to be ready, because “you might be the most important person in the building tonight.” assertive

2026-10-01 · New York Post

🔮 Aaron Boone indicated that Judge was getting treatment on his right calf strain during Tuesday’s player intros, when the three-time MVP likely would have gotten one of the loudest ovations from the crowd at Yankee Stadium. mixed

2026-10-01 · New York Post

🔮 It remains to be seen whether the Yankees will keep Stanton on the roster for the ALDS against the Rays — especially if Aaron Judge can get back in time from his own calf strain — though it seems doubtful given that they will need to even out their balance after carrying 16 position players and 10 pitchers for this opening round. assertive

🔮 The schedule could play into Judge’s favor. assertive

2026-10-03 · New York Post

🔮 “The competitor” in Ryan Weathers did not want to throw live batting practice Monday night at Yankee Stadium because he knew it would mean not being on the roster for the AL wild-card series. mixed

2026-10-03 · New York Post

🔮 But trying to take down the Rays without him may prove to be a more difficult task, though doing so would give him a chance to return for the ALCS. As of Friday, Judge had yet to run the bases, though he started a running progression on Tuesday, shortly before Game 1 against the Red Sox. mixed

2026-10-03 · New York Post

🔮 But he still offers real value for the Yankees, with Aaron Boone saying earlier this week he could play a “massive role” moving forward. mixed

2026-10-03 · New York Post

🔮 In all likelihood, it would have been just as a pinch hitter, possibly with a chance to be a full player later in the best-of-five series against the Rays if his right calf allowed. assertive

2026-10-04 · New York Post

🔮 The Yankees left Weathers off their roster for the wild-card series to give him more time to build up, hoping it would allow him to be available more often in the ALDS. assertive

2026-10-04 · New York Post

🔮 Were the 18 runs on 26 hits the Yankees exploded for in their wild-card series proof they could survive postseason games without Aaron Judge, or just the result of feasting on a Red Sox bullpen after Tracy pulled his starter early in both games? assertive

2026-10-05 · New York Post

🔮 The Yankees were technically off Sunday, but the players who wanted to get their work in ahead of Game 2 of the ALDS went to their spring training home instead of the field where they will play Monday night. assertive

2026-10-06 · New York Post

🔮 When the division series makes its way to The Bronx, Max Fried will get the ball first for the Yankees. assertive

🔮 He may have more talent and tools than almost any other player on the roster, most notably his speed, athleticism and power, but the Yankees have not been able to get that out of him regularly enough, especially this year. assertive

2026-10-08 · New York Post

🔮 Boone also dropped Spencer Jones — the Yankees cleanup hitter in each of the prior three playoff games — down to batting eighth in the lineup, the lowest he has hit against a right-hander since May 19 (facing Dylan Cease). assertive
