NEW YORK – It’s two games. After six months of being one of baseball's best teams, not to mention two Wild Card Series wins, the Yankees haven’t looked like themselves in the American League Division Series. For two games.

NEW YORK -- When Max Fried first toured Yankee Stadium as a free agent two winters ago, three words stood out: “Prepare, compete, win.” They were printed on a wall of the weight room, beyond the kettlebells and medicine balls, and they remain imprinted in the left-hander’s mind as a

NEW YORK -- Two weeks ago, the Rays went wild in the visitors’ clubhouse at Yankee Stadium after clinching their first American League East championship in five years. That party started shortly after a win over the Yankees and carried late into the New York night. Could they have another

There is more history with the Yankees than anybody else in baseball, and in sports. So at a time like this, Yankees fans look to October history that works for them, and not against them, as they look for their team to flip the script against a Rays team that

ST. PETERSBURG – After a baker’s dozen of showdowns throughout the regular season, the Yankees needed no refresher on the Rays’ approach ahead of this American League Division Series. Multiple times, they stressed how crucial it’d be to “take care of the ball” and “play clean.” Their worst fears were

ST. PETERSBURG -- The Rays played a very Rays game, the Yankees played a somewhat un-Yankees game and the two teams boarded flights for New York on Monday night in very different frames of mind. Following a 5-2 Tampa Bay win in Game 2 of the ALDS, the Rays are

ST. PETERSBURG -- It was a nightmare night for the prohibitive American League Cy Young favorite. And he barely did anything wrong. Cam Schlittler pounded the strike zone, and when he was out of the zone, it was mostly by design. His stuff was good. His velocity was right where

ST. PETERSBURG -- There’s no way to sugarcoat it: The Yankees put forth one of the sloppiest defensive performances in their franchise’s postseason history Monday night against the Rays in Game 2 of the American League Division Series at Tropicana Field. In what was effectively a must-win game, the Yankees

Ben Rice slugged another two home runs in Monday night’s 5-2 Yankees loss in ALDS Game 2 at Tropicana Field, providing all the offense for New York. His team may be looking to pull off another 2-0 comeback in a best-of-five series as the series shifts to Yankee Stadium, but

ST. PETERSBURG -- Spencer Jones was staring into the future; at least, that’s what it looked like one afternoon in late July. The Yankees rookie outfielder sat in front of his locker, one foot raised, contemplating how he might remember this season five years down the road.

ST. PETERSBURG -- American League Cy Young Award front-runner Cam Schlittler said Saturday afternoon what his incredible numbers away from Yankee Stadium would already suggest: He likes pitching on the road. More specifically, he likes the feeling of “silencing” someone else’s home crowd. But he wasn’t worried about that as

Cam Schlittler throws a whole lot of fastballs, and the Red Sox wanted to be ready for the high-octane heat. They reportedly “wore out” the Trajekt machine last weekend at Tropicana Field, hoping to sync their bats with Schlittler’s elite velocity ahead of their showdown in Game 1 of the

Major League Baseball on Monday announced finalists for the 2026 Hank Aaron Award, an honor that recognizes the most outstanding regular season offensive performer in each League. At last year’s All-Star Game in Atlanta, MLB celebrated the 51st anniversary of Hank Aaron’s historic 715th record-breaking home run with a special

ST. PETERSBURG – The Yankees have spent months touting their starting rotation as an October advantage. One loss hasn’t changed that – if anything, it sets up the first real test of a formula they still believe can carry them deep into this postseason. Saturday’s opener of the American League

ST. PETERSBURG – You’ll often hear pitchers lament that they “only made one mistake,” and often what that actually means is they only made one mistake that they ended up paying for. For Gerrit Cole on Saturday, though, it’s hard to point to more than one mistake. Unfortunately for Cole

ST. PETERSBURG -- For the first 180 feet of his dash around the bases, Austin Wells represented the Yankees’ best chance to score in Game 1 of the American League Division Series against the Rays on Saturday. Then he turned for third. Suddenly, the Yankees’ best chance to score effectively

ST. PETERSBURG -- Dressed in workout gear, Aaron Judge turned a corner at Tropicana Field on Friday afternoon, acknowledging his arriving Yankees teammates. The captain’s workday was already hours deep, and the slogan imprinted across his T-shirt said plenty: “No time like October.” Judge has made his position clear --

ST. PETERSBURG – Aaron Judge said he was “doing everything I can” to convince the Yankees that his strained right calf had healed enough to appear on the American League Division Series roster, but the captain’s efforts fell short.

ST. PETERSBURG – Giancarlo Stanton has no interest in looking back, nor in detailing the play-by-play of his return from a series of calf injuries that wiped out everything after late April. For the Yankees’ slugger, the only thing that matters is being ready for a moment now.

Someone had to be The Guy for the Yankees with Aaron Judge out for the start of the playoffs, and Ben Rice stepped up and did it.​

The American League East’s two best teams will meet in the best-of-five AL Division Series, starting with Game 1 Saturday between the Yankees and Rays at 6:30 p.m. ET at Tropicana Field. Let’s take a look at how the pitching rotations might line up:
