The Yankees' bats were quieted as the Rays snapped New York's four-game winning streak with a 2-1 victory in front of a packed -- and very pro-Yankees -- crowd at Tropicana Field on Friday night.

Yankees right fielder Giancarlo Stanton made a fantastic leaping grab up against the wall in Friday's 2-1 loss to the Rays to help CC Sabathia get out of a sticky situation.

Yankees outfielder Jacoby Ellsbury is confident the myriad injuries that have derailed his season will soon be behind him and that he will return to the field in 2018.

The decision-makers for each team are entering the busy season, and their phones should be buzzing with possibilities. The non-waiver Trade Deadline is July 31, and the buyers and sellers are crystal clear in the American League East.

When Giancarlo Stanton agreed to be traded to the Yankees last winter, to play on the big stage that suiting up in pinstripes entails, it was for nights like Wednesday, when Stanton crushed a walk-off homer that carried the Yankees to a 7-5 victory over the Mariners.

Gary Sanchez completed the comeback with a mammoth game-tying blast in the eighth and Giancarlo Stanton celebrated his first signature moment in pinstripes with a walk-off shot in the ninth, enveloped by his teammates at home plate as the Yankees...

Billy Connors, a longtime pitching coach and executive who pitched for the Cubs and Mets, died on Monday. He was 76.

The Yankees continue to gauge the market for available starting pitching, believing that they require additional help for a push toward the postseason. After an impressive look at Domingo German's electric arsenal, the Mariners may not agree with that assessment.

The Yankees' offense continued to showcase its power against the Mariners on Tuesday, slugging four home runs in a 7-2 victory.

Yankees are on pace to set HR record

CC Sabathia remembers spending summer afternoons in the 1990s glued to a flickering television set, transfixed as MTV's "Rock N' Jock" brought ballplayers, musicians and entertainers together between the white lines for unforgettable -- and frequently hilarious -- softball exhibitions.

Gary Sanchez believes that he is in the process of turning around one of the longest slumps of his professional career. Currently involved in the closest race on the American League All-Star ballot, an offensive surge could boost Sanchez's chances...

Here's MLB Pipeline's roundup of the top prospect performances in the Minor Leagues on Tuesday.

Hicks' homer got stuck in the bullpen bench

With the Yankees nursing a one-run lead, Jonathan Holder escaped a first-and-third, no-out situation in the sixth inning, and David Robertson, Dellin Betances and Aroldis Chapman turned in a scoreless inning each as New York held on for a 4-2...

The Yankees gave their fans a true Father's Day treat before Sunday's series finale against the Rays. They held their 72nd Old-Timers' Day, with dozens of former stars -- large and small -- from the Yankees' constellation taking part.

CC Sabathia struck out 10 over 7 2/3 innings, but Aaron Hicks' solo homer was all the Yankees could muster on offense in Sunday's 3-1 loss to the Rays at Yankee Stadium.

Swisher all smiles rounding bases after HR

Luis Severino carved up the Rays over eight shutout innings, with six of his nine strikeouts clocked at 99 mph or higher, and the Yankees rolled to their 13th win in 16 games. Giancarlo Stanton and Gary Sanchez hit back-to-back...

Didi Gregorius' power stroke has returned, as the Yankees shortstop homered for the third time in his past three games on Friday against the Rays at Yankee Stadium.

Brian Cashman has a reputation as a daredevil among baseball's general managers. And even he shudders to think of the public outcry if the Yankees considered trading Gleyber Torres.

With more than half a million homeless people in the United States, it's not uncommon to pass someone living on the streets, especially in big cities. Although some may choose to walk in the other direction, Mark Bustos does not.

Here's MLB Pipeline's roundup of the top prospect performances in the Minor Leagues on Friday.

Before Friday night's series opener against the Dodgers at Citi Field, Mets general manager Sandy Alderson said that New York could be sellers at the July 31 non-waiver Trade Deadline unless there was "improvement in our win-loss record almost immediately."...

Mets center fielder Michael Conforto robbed the Dodgers' Joc Pederson of an RBI hit with a sensational diving catch in the third inning of Friday night's series opener at Citi Field.

Shifting powers within the National League East have created a new dynamic as the non-waiver Trade Deadline approaches, with more potential buyers than sellers dotting the landscape.

Even taking into account Seth Lugo's dud performance Wednesday night at Coors Field, where he allowed six runs -- three earned -- in a 10-8 loss to the Rockies, the Mets' starting staff has performed remarkably well in Noah Syndergaard's absence.

Although Noah Syndergaard began a throwing progression off flat ground this week, he did so with a modified splint on his index finger. Syndergaard said that while he is not ready to begin pitching off a mound, doctors may clear him to throw without the splint when they examine him later this week in New York.

The Mets' offense continued to produce but it wasn't enough as the Rockies won a slugfest, 10-8, on Tuesday. Jason Vargas allowed seven runs in 2 1/3 innings as New York's three-game winning streak was snapped.

The Mets announced Tuesday that AJ Ramos will undergo surgery to repair a torn labrum in his right shoulder, ending his season and perhaps his Mets career.

The New York Mets announced on Tuesday that the club has placed outfielder Jay Bruce on the 10-day disabled list, retroactive to Monday, with a sore right hip and recalled right-hander Tim Peterson from Triple-A Las Vegas.

Brandon Nimmo hit an inside-the-park homer to lead off the game and a more conventional round-tripper in the seventh as the Mets beat Rockies, 12-2, to take the series opener on Monday. Jacob deGrom went eight innings, allowing one earned run and striking out seven to help New York win its third in a row.

Entering this week's series at Coors Field seven games out of a National League Wild Card spot, and 10 1/2 out of their division, the Mets are beginning to come to grips with the possibility that they will not be...

In the second update of All-Star voting released Monday by Major League Baseball, second baseman Asdrubal Cabrera was the only Met who ranked among the top five at his position. Brandon Nimmo's write-in candidacy for the All-Star Game hasn't gained...

Stymied for much of Sunday, the Mets scored a 5-3 victory over the D-backs at Chase Field when Brandon Nimmo hit a go-ahead, two-run homer off Brad Boxberger in the ninth, and Asdrubal Cabrera followed with a solo shot. The...

The Mets' bullpen just got a bit stronger. The team activated closer Jeurys Familia, who had been sidelined since June 7 due to right shoulder soreness, before Sunday's series finale against the D-backs.

The Mets and D-backs honored dads everywhere by wearing blue caps, wristbands and ribbons on their jerseys for Father's Day.

Less than a week after snapping an 0-for-22 funk, Michael Conforto broke out on Saturday with a home run and four RBIs in a 5-1 win over the D-backs that ended the Mets' four-game losing streak. Steven Matz took advantage of Conforto's big night, holding Arizona to one run over 6 2/3 innings.

Thor cracks up as Gsellman takes bullpen cart

Wilmer Flores returned to the Mets' lineup Friday against the D-backs after missing two-and-a-half weeks due to back soreness.

With Jeurys Familia and AJ Ramos on the disabled list, and Seth Lugo in the rotation, the Mets have struggled to find consistency closing out games. They struggled again Thursday, when Hansel Robles issued a leadoff walk, Jerry Blevins allowed...

It is difficult to know how much of a role the shoulder recovery might be playing a role in Michael Conforto's slow start, but one must think his talent eventually will take over and help him emerge from his season-long funk.

Mets use D-backs' bullpen cart for delivery

Jacob deGrom did enough to keep the Mets in the 2-0 loss to the Braves at SunTrust Park on Wednesday afternoon, but Mike Soroka did more than enough.

Justin Verlander is 2018's most improved pitcher, and maybe that makes sense, because he might be 2018's best pitcher. Who else has improved the most? It's an interesting mix of health, new pitches, and changing strategies.

Like Zack Wheeler before him, Paul Sewald needed just one out to stop the bleeding in the sixth inning of the Mets' 8-2 loss to the Braves at SunTrust Park on Tuesday night. Instead of getting the out and stymieing a high-powered Braves offense from doing further damage, Sewald gave up a grand slam to Ozzie Albies.

Mets manager Mickey Callaway was ejected for the first time in his managerial career in the top of the sixth inning on Tuesday night against the Braves at SunTrust Park.

Mets general manager Sandy Alderson took full responsibility Tuesday for the Mets' two-month slide down the standings, which has seen them fall from the National League's best record to one of its three worst.

Given the struggles of so many of the Mets' hitters this season, those who have thrived have stood in stark relief. Chief among them is Asdrubal Cabrera, who ranked fourth among National League second basemen in the first update of the Camping World All-Star Ballot, released on Monday by Major League Baseball.

Todd Frazier's two-run homer and a combined shutout led by Seth Lugo sent the Mets to a 2-0 win over the Yankees on Sunday at Citi Field, putting an end to the Mets' eight-game losing streak, their longest skid in...
