@Thats_BB_Suzyn Well said! 👏👏👏

“Ben Rice should catch” is a take you will soon be hearing all over Yankees Twitter. Hard pass. Catching is the most physically grueling role in baseball. The chronic fatigue it causes compromises the lower-body. When a hitter’s legs are "dead" from catching, he cannot generate the same force into the ground. This delays hip rotation, slows down the hands, and causes a measurable drop in bat speed as the game and season progress. Ben has unlocked something special. Potentially generational. The Yankees shouldn’t risk throwing that away. Would you let Aaron Judge catch, even if he could? Of course not. Wells is a huge problem, but this ain’t the answer.

Goldy goes the other way with a two-out RBI single! Very good situational hitting there.

Trent Grisham with an RBI single on a first pitch swing, good things happen when you are agressive early in the count.

Prior to tonight’s game, the Yankees made the following roster moves: • Placed LHP Max Fried on the 15-day injured list (retroactive to 5/14) with a left elbow bone bruise. • Recalled RHP Elmer Rodríguez (#71) from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre.

Ben Rice Homer! 5-1 Yanks in the 9th

Cam Schlittler today: 6.2 IP | 2 H | 1 ER | 1 BB | 9 SO ACE ⭐️⭐️⭐️

Spencer Jones two out RBI single to give the Yanks a 4-0 lead in the 5th. It Jones first multi hit game in the big leagues.

This is Jazz Chisholm Jr.'s first multi-hit game since April 26. The Yankees really need him to get going.

Jazz with a two-out RBI double! 3-0 Yanks in the third! Hopefully this is a good sign for Jazz’s future. He’s such an important piece of this Yankees team, and they need him to get going a little bit offensively.

Cody Bellinger with a two out rbi double to put the Yankees on the board! Such a good situational hitter!

Cam Schlittler strikes out 2 in the first inning including striking out Juan Soto when he fell behind 3-0 in the count.

Trent Grisham approach has been awful this season. He needs to be way more aggressive by swinging when the ball is in the zone.

From the Yankees: LHP Max Fried underwent an MRI and CT scan on Thursday that was followed up by an examination with Yankees Team Physician, Dr. Chris Ahmad. He will be placed on the 15-day I.L. after initial findings revealed a left elbow bone bruise.  Dr. Neal ElAttrache will also review Thursday’s imaging.     Repeat imaging will again be taken in a few weeks (or when asymptomatic) to further determine when Fried can resume throwing.  A more specific return and rehab schedule will be determined at that tim

@Rickeyhenley24 This is only if they trade Jazz if he can’t start hitting and in that case he would play 2B.

@PinstripePulse0 Where would they play him?

If Luis Arraez continues to be a solid defender, I’m all in on the Yankees trading for him. A hitter who rarely strikes out and thrives in situational hitting is a great recipe for postseason success. With all the power already in the Yankees lineup, they can afford to add a player who doesn’t bring much home run power but consistently puts the ball in play. @BobbyMilone29

Max Fried left the game with left elbow posterior soreness, Yankees say

Goldy with a lead off bomb!

Because of "impending weather," Orioles announce tomorrow's game has been moved to 1:05 pm

They have to step it up- no excuses. They have the ability to make this offense elite if they are producing.

Of the 260 players with at least 90 at-bats entering today, Jazz Chisholm Jr. ranked 200th with a 77 wRC+. Austin Wells ranked 201st with a 76 wRC+. Chisholm's .269 xwOBA ranked 238th. Wells' .322 xwOBA ranked 126th, though. #Yankees
