Volpe to Learn Second Base as Yankees Expand Infield Versatility

With José Caballero back from the injured list, the Yankees will keep Anthony Volpe around and have him work on second base to increase his versatility, though there are no plans for him at third; Boone will decide the starting shortstop on a nightly basis, and Caballero was the choice for Friday’s opener. Gerrit Cole delivered six scoreless innings in his season debut, while Aaron Judge is in a mini slump blamed on pitch selection. Giancarlo Stanton is sidelined with a calf strain and will be reevaluated next week to see if he can resume running, with a chance he could skip a rehab assignment if cleared; the rotation looks strong but the offense needs to contribute.

Elbow scare sidelines Fried as Yankees face mounting injuries

The Yankees dropped their sixth of eight as Max Fried left after three innings with left elbow posterior soreness—an apparent hyperextension that could land him on the injured list; Aaron Judge remains a bright spot as the team pushes for urgency in a crowded roster; Giancarlo Stanton is out with a calf strain and hasn’t been cleared to run after an MRI showed limited healing; Jasson Domínguez has been in the mix but isn’t close to returning following a PRP shot in his left shoulder, leaving Spencer Jones to fill in until Stanton is back.

Yankees demote Jake Bird as bullpen woes persist

After a rough stretch that included Jake Bird surrendering a game-tying homer to Mike Trout, New York demoted him to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre as the bullpen struggles continue and Aaron Judge urges a simpler, more patient approach from the lineup. The club also eyes bullpen reinforcements, while Gerrit Cole and Carlos Rodón begin rehab assignments, Anthony Volpe prepares to return in the minors, and Cade Winquest is returned to the Cardinals after being designated for assignment.

Judge’s two-homer night puts him atop MLB’s and Yankees’ multi-homer records

Aaron Judge homered twice, including a 456-foot two-run shot in the first and a solo shot in the sixth (his sixth of the season), as the Yankees beat the Angels 11-10 in The Bronx to snap a five-game skid. The performance gave Judge his 47th career multi-homer game, moving past Mickey Mantle for the Yankees’ franchise mark and giving him the MLB all-time lead in multi-homer games, while New York’s bullpen hiccups and late drama kept it a tense finish.

Judge's ABS Challenge Ignites Yankees' Opening-Series Back-to-Back Shutouts

The New York Yankees opened 2026 by blanking the San Francisco Giants in both games of the Opening Series (7-0, then 3-0), with Aaron Judge overturning a pitch call via MLB's new Automated Ball-Strike (ABS) Challenge to fuel a two-run homer and seal the win. The back-to-back shutouts mark the first time the Yankees have started a season with consecutive shutouts, while the Giants were shut out in consecutive opening games for the first time in franchise history.
