Here we go. As June begins, so do the hot stove rumors, and as usual, the Yankees are one of the first names brought up. Two separate reports yesterday had the Yankees interested in making a move to bolster their starting rotation, which has had its fair share of struggles so far this season. First, [...]
Donnie Collins of the Scranton Times-Tribune tweeted a few minutes ago that the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre Yankees have placed both Manny Banuelos and Eduardo Nunez on the 7-day disabled list. For Banuelos, the move is retroactive to Saturday, while Nunez’s move is retroactive to Sunday. Nunez has been dealing with a thumb issue. The reason for Banuelos hitting [...]
I had spent some time attempting to figure out why it was that Eduardo Nunez had left last night’s game against the Toledo Mud Hens. Thanks to Yankees GM Brian Cashman, I now appear to have my answer: Nunez was forced from last night’s game with a “problem at the base of the [right] thumb.” [...]

Manager Joe Girardi said the Yankees want Nunez to get back to playing mostly shortstop, with some second base mixed in. “We talked about it and said, maybe we’re asking this [...]
After last night’s blunder on the mound in the top of the ninth inning, by assumed-to-be interim closer, David Robertson, the Yankees need to bounce back in a big way in tonight’s battle of the best, between the Tampa Bay’s David Price and New York’s C.C. Sabathia. Last night, David Phelps gave the team [...]
The show must go on. Despite the heartbreaking news to Yankees everywhere, learning that the legendary Mariano Rivera may miss the rest of 2012 with a torn ACL, they will still play ball. C.C. Sabathia will take the mound tonight against the Royals in game two of a four-game series in Kansas City. In his [...]
Not many teams can plug in an outfielder with 423 career home runs off the bench. Not many teams can rest their all-star third baseman and put in another former all-star third baseman with six gold gloves (all won consecutively) to his credit. These two players are of course Andruw Jones and Eric Chavez. [...]
