Sun Aug 8 2021 | 17:32 | Gleyber Torres To Get MRI On Thumb |
New York Yankees shortstop Gleyber Torres (thumb) enjoyed a strong day at the plate in Sunday's loss but appeared to injure his thumb. Torres swiped his 12th base of the season but jammed his thumb while sliding into the bag. He stayed in the game until the ninth inning, ultimately being replaced by Tyler Wade. Manager Aaron Boone said that Torres will get an MRI on his thumb- and that "there is some concern there." He hasn't exactly wowed fantasy managers with a .253/.328/.351 slash line, but he seemed to be picking things up in August, making this some tough news. Stay tuned for updates on Torres. |

Sun Aug 8 2021 | 17:14 | Gleyber Torres To Have MRI On Thumb |
New York Yankees shortstop Gleyber Torres (thumb) will have an MRI on his thumb after exiting the game in the ninth inning, according to Lindsey Adler of The Athletic. Adler reports that he appeared to have jammed his hand on a stolen base attempt earlier in the game, and manager Aaron Boone said that there is some concern over this injury. He's had a down year in 2021, slashing .248/.324/.344 with six homers, 11 steals, 42 RBI and 35 runs scored over 98 games. Managers should consider him day-to-day for now and check for further updates on his condition on Monday. |

Sat Aug 7 2021 | 10:51 | Gleyber Torres Gets Day Off Saturday |
New York Yankees shortstop Gleyber Torres is not in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Mariners. Torres is 8-for-22 with five RBI and three runs scored in six games so far in August. This is his first day off since mid-July, as he will cede the shortstop duties to Tyler Wade. Wade brings an element of speed to the Yankee lineup- seven stolen bases- but his work with the bat, .211 batting average, doesn't lend much optimism for fantasy purposes. |

Tue Aug 3 2021 | 22:43 | Gleyber Torres Drives In Two In Win Tuesday |
New York Yankees shortstop Gleyber Torres went 2-for-3 with a double, two RBI and a run scored in a 13-1 win over the Orioles on Tuesday. He's been hitting well recently, slashing .286/.333/.464 with two homers, four steals, nine RBI and seven runs scored over his last 15 games. He's finally starting to heat up after what's been a disappointing season where he's hitting .246 with a .667 OPS, six homers, 10 steals, 39 RBI and 34 runs scored across 94 games. Hopefully this is the beginning of a second-half turnaround for the 24-year-old shortstop. |

Sun Jul 25 2021 | 15:23 | Yankees Germán has no-hitter through 7 vs Red Sox at Fenway |
BOSTON (AP) — Domingo Germán of the New York Yankees is pitching a no-hitter through seven innings against the Boston Red Sox at Fenway Park. Mixing his well-spotted fastball in the mid-90 mph range with a changeup and curveball, the 28-year-old Germán has struck out 10 and allowed just one walk. He's thrown 90 pitches Sunday afternoon. Germán struck out four batters in the seventh. The inning was prolonged by a passed ball on a strike three. The last no-hitter at Fenway by an opponent was by Detroit's Jim Bunning on July 20, 1958, when he retired future fellow Hall of Famer Ted Williams on a flyball for the final out. The last Yankees pitcher to no-hit Boston was Dave Righetti at Yankee Stadium on July 4, 1983. Germán has been helped by two excellent defensive plays. Shortstop Gleyber Torres went into the deep hole to throw out J.D. Martinez on a grounder in the fifth and first baseman DJ LeMahieu made a nice stab on Christian Vázquez’s grounder leading off the sixth. Germán, who missed all of last season serving the remainder of an 81-game suspension for violating Major League Baseball’s domestic violence policy,is making his 17th start. He hadn'tt gone beyond 5 2/3 innings in his last eight, and his season-high is seven innings, which he’s done twice. The Yankees entered the day eight games back in the AL East after rallying for a 4-3 victory over the Red Sox on Saturday. New York leads 3-0. ___ More AP MLB: https://apnews.com/hub/MLB and https://twitter.com/AP_Sports |
Sun Jul 25 2021 | 02:43 | Sandoval loses no-hitter in 9th, Angels beat Twins 2-1 |
MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Patrick Sandoval had his no-hit bid broken up with one out in the ninth inning on a soft double by rookie Brent Rooker and the Los Angeles Angels beat the Minnesota Twins 2-1 on Saturday night. Sandoval, a 24-year-old lefty who began the game with a 3-13 career record, struck out a career-high 13. There have already been seven no-hitters in the majors this season. The big league record of eight was set in 1884, the first year overhand pitching was permitted. The Twins hadn’t come close to a hit until Rooker, who fanned his first three times up, flared an opposite-field fly that fell just inside the line in right. Sandoval (3-4) smiled after the ball fell, retired the next batter and then was pulled after 108 pitches. He walked one and hit two. Closer Raisel Iglesias allowed an RBI double to Josh Donaldson before getting his 21st save in 25 chances. JosĂ© BerrĂos (7-5) allowed two unearned runs in seven innings in perhaps his final start for Minnesota. ASTROS 4, RANGERS... [ More] |

BOSTON (AP) — Rougned Odor’s two-run double highlighted a four-run rally in the eighth inning after his two errors helped Boston build an early lead, and the New York Yankees beat the Red Sox 4-3 on Saturday. Gleyber Torres added a go-ahead, bloop single for the Yankees. They are 3-9 this season against their longtime rivals. The Red Sox, who had won four in a row, put runners on second and third with two outs in the ninth before Aroldis Chapman struck out Kiké Hernández for his 18th save. Boston starter Nathan Eovaldi was breezing along, throwing a shutout with two outs in the eighth before he was lifted after Brett Gardner’s RBI single. Adam Ottavino (2-3) relieved and allowed Giancarlo Stanton’s bloop, ground-rule double. Odor drove his tying hit off the Green Monster and Torres followed a single that dropped in down the right-field line. New York starter Jameson Taillon (6-4) gave up three runs — one earned — in seven innings, striking out four and walking three. DIAMONDBACKS 7, CUBS... [ More] |

WASHINGTON (AP) — Alcides Escobar homered in the eighth inning and hit a winning single in the ninth Sunday as the Washington Nationals wrapped up a disturbing weekend with an 8-7 win over the San Diego Padres. A day after the game was suspended in the sixth inning because of a shooting outside Nationals Park, the Padres completed a 10-4 victory. Washington then came back to end a six-game losing streak. Tres Barrera singled off Mark Melancon (2-2) with one out in the ninth and, after failing on a bunt attempt, Victor Robles was hit by pitch. Escobar hit a flyball that center fielder Trent Grisham couldn’t corral and Barrera scored. Brad Hand (5-2) earned the victory. Juan Soto joined Josh Harrison with three hits and added a two-run homer. Manny Machado, Eric Hosmer and Jackson Profar homered for the Padres. Nationals ace Max Scherzer allowed four runs on four hits in seven innings. He struck out eight. In the completion of Saturday's suspended game, Fernando Tatis Jr. had his third four-hit... [ More] |

WASHINGTON (AP) — The game between the San Diego Padres and Washington was suspended in the sixth inning Saturday night after police said there was a shooting outside Nationals Park. The shooting, an exchange of gunfire between people in two cars, left three people injured, according to Ashan Benedict, the Metropolitan Police Department’s executive assistant police chief. One of the people who was shot was a woman who was attending the game and who was struck while she was outside the stadium, he said. Her injuries weren’t considered life-threatening. Two people who were in one of the cars later walked into a local hospital with gunshot wounds and were being questioned by investigators, Benedict said, and the extent of their injuries wasn’t immediately clear. Investigators were still trying to locate the second vehicle involved in the shooting.

Thu Jul 15 2021 | 19:30 | Yankees-Red Sox ppd after 3 NY pitchers test COVID positive |
NEW YORK (AP) — The Yankees' post-All-Star break opener against the Boston Red Sox on Thursday night was postponed because of positive COVID-19 tests among vaccinated New York pitchers Jonathan Loaisiga, Nestor Cortes Jr. and Wandy Peralta. “It’s a fluid situation that could spread. It has spread to some degree," Yankees general manager Brian Cashman said. “We have three positives and we have three pending that we’ve had rapid tests on. ... We’ll wait now for the lab tests to come back, which I’m assuming is going to be positive, as well. So that would increase our number to six, but we're not at six yet. We're at three confirmed.” Loaisiga went on the COVID-19 injured list Saturday, when the Yankees were in Houston, and he did not travel home with the team Sunday. Cortes and Peralta went on the COVID-19 IL on Thursday. Cashman said all three were fully vaccinated, as are most of the players on the team. Among the three, two received the Johnson & Johnson vaccine, and the other was... [ More] |
