Judge-less Yankees roar in 9-2 victory over Diamondbacks

Without Aaron Judge due to a calf strain, the Yankees jumped to a 5-0 lead in the first inning and Gerrit Cole worked six innings of two-run ball as New York routed the Diamondbacks 9-2. Arizona’s Corbin Carroll connected for a second-inning homer, but Ben Rice hit his 39th and George Lombard Jr. added a sixth-inning shot to widen the margin. The win keeps the Yankees within four games of the Rays for the division and solidifies their wild-card position, with Cole likely to start in the postseason series despite a late-season bump in form.

Cole’s Home-Run Blues Put Yankees on Edge as Bellinger Heats Up

Gerrit Cole has surrendered seven home runs in a two-start stretch, raising questions about whether his pitch mix needs adjustments, though the Yankees stress health isn’t the issue. Offensively, Cody Bellinger has started to heat up with three homers in four games, Clarke Schmidt is nearing a return after a productive rehab outing, and Chase Hampton was claimed off waivers by the Nationals to clear 40-man space for Aaron Judge’s anticipated return.

Volpe to Learn Second Base as Yankees Expand Infield Versatility

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.
