Trying to make sense of Yankees’ bullpen usage in walk-off loss to Brewers
MILWAUKEE — Aaron Boone’s rationale for limiting Yankees closer Clay Holmes to one inning in Friday night’s 7-6 loss to the Brewers makes sense. Holmes has pitched a ton for the Yankees early on this season and the last thing this club needs is for their closer to burn out or get hurt.
Yankees’ Aaron Boone stands behind using Clay Holmes for just 10 pitches
MILWAUKEE — Clay Holmes breezed through three batters in the bottom of the ninth inning Friday night on 10 pitches. But when the game got to the bottom of the 10th with the Yankees leading by one run, manager Aaron Boone went to new reliever Michael Tonkin — one of the last two arms he had available out of the bullpen — instead of asking Holmes to pitch a second inning. Boone was left to defend his decision after the Yankees fell to the Brewers, 7-6 in 11 innings, at American Family Field. “[Holmes] is on about an 80-game pace in April, and...
Ranking Yankees' trade deadline pitching options after Jesus Luzardo injury
Real quick, can a one-man list count as a "ranking"? Holy cow, the Yankees' potential trade deadline options all grew warts (or disappeared) in a hurry. New York's rotation has been a surprising strength to kick off 2024, even without Gerrit Cole. In fact, adding swing-and-miss to the bullpen (Tanner Scott?) suddenly feels like a bigger priority than adding a starting pitcher, but ... you're kidding yourself if you don't think an extra viable rotation arm would help, especially when the current group gets a bit more run down.

Yankees’ Trent Grisham belts homer for first hit of season in return to Milwaukee
MILWAUKEE — Trent Grisham returned to his old stomping grounds Friday without a hit as a Yankee. The center fielder changed that in style, clubbing a three-run home run that put the Yankees ahead before falling to the Brewers, 7-6 in 11 innings, at American Family Field. “It was nice to finally get that monkey off my back and get going that way,” Grisham said. “To do it in that fashion was special.” Yankees’ Aaron Boone stands behind using Clay Holmes for just 10 pitches Grisham, a former first-round draft pick of the Brewers in 2015, was starting just his sixth game of the...

Who will be the next Yankees top prospects to land in Double-A Somerset?
WAPPINGERS FALLS, N.Y. – As far as the Yankees organization goes, the road to the big leagues runs through Somerset, sure. But the road to Somerset?
