Wendell Cruz-USA TODAY Sports NJ.com | Bob Klapisch: The first big blow to the Yankee rotation landed on Corey Kluber’s right shoulder, as the team’s de facto number two will be out at least eight weeks with a shoulder injury. That’s a boatload of innings, and very effective ones, the Yankees will have to find some way to replace, and in a season where the CBT threshold looms large in the club’s strategy. New York Post | Greg Joyce: Continuing the trend of injury news, we got the updat...

If that’s the case, he’ll be joining the team swinging a red-hot bat forged in the minors. Voit has been on a tear in his rehab stint with Scranton, smashing three home runs in just 18 at-bats. If the Yankees can plug Voit into a lineup that seems to be shaking off their early season struggles, we may finally see some consistent ...

: Gio Urshela remained out of the lineup in Saturday’s win over the Nationals, but manager Aaron Boone said the third baseman is doing better. An MRI after the game in which he injured his knee showed no structural damage, but Urshela missed a second straight game.

MLB Trade Rumors 10:31am CDT The Yankees hope to finally have the 2020 AL home run king in their lineup by early next week, per Lindsey Adler of the Athletic (via Twitter). Luke Voit has yet to make his debut this season, and the Yankees are struggling to find production at first base. Jay Bruce logged -0.3 fWAR before retiring, and Mike Ford has a 42 wRC+ in 38 plate appearances. DJ LeMahieu has started the most games at first this year, but that means pulling him from the keystone where n...

Yet, because these are the 2021 Yankees and we cannot have good things, Gary left yesterday’s game against the Rays after taking a foul ball off his right hand, which proceeded to swell up something ugly. X-rays were negative, and Sánchez is day-to-day...

Gametime is set for the same 1:05 ET slot. Blue Jays’ Starter The Jays have opted to give the ball to T.J. Zeuch for the third start of the season, passing over a pair of rotation locks to go with the guy who was one of the last to earn a spot on the team. If Robbie Ray ...
