Phil Hughes Will Undergo More Tests
Yankees Beaten By White Sox, Nearly No-Hit

The Yankees got a good start from A.J. Burnett, but it was wasted as the Bombers were shutdown by Phil Humber, who took a no-hitter into the 7th, as the White Sox beat them 2-0 at home Monday night. Alex Rodriguez was the player who eventually broke up the no-hit bid in the 7th ...

Anyone who follows national politics knows of the ongoing fiscal debate, and the political mess that has come with it: Republicans want tax cuts for the wealthiest American’s, shifting all the burdens to the less fortunate, while Democrats have failed to form a cohesive resolution within their own party.

Quote: Hitting More, Lifting Less a Slump Buster for Teixeira

Via Jeff Seidel of MLB.com: "I hit a lot more this winter, but I also hit more in Spring Training and lifted less weights," Teixeira said. "I think it's more of a flexibility and bat-speed issue. This Spring Training, I hit more, lifted a little less and I came in with a pretty quick bat." "We play ...
Yankees Prospect Jesus Montero Injured on Foul Ball

Yankees top prospect Jesus Montero left yesterday's game in the middle of the 4th inning in Scranton yesterday after fouling a ball off his cup. It doesn't seem like a serious injury, but he was in enough pain yesterday that he couldn't guarantee he would play today. Look, obviously this is a painful injury, but ...

Yankees Tried to Trade for Russell Martin Past 3 Years

Via Andrew Marchand of ESPN New York: Cashman said that Russ Martin is "Thuman-like." The Yankees tried to trade for him the past 3 yrs. That would have been interesting. I was certainly skeptical of Russell Martin at first. He had two down seasons, was coming off of two surgeries, and the Yankees had Jesus ...
Yankees Slam Their Way to CC’s First Win

CC Sabathia was on top of his game and so was the Yankees offense as they slugged five homers, including two from Russell Martin, en route to a 15-3 victory over the Orioles in Baltimore Saturday night. Sabathia was in fine form as he held the Orioles to just two hits through the first ...

Yankees’ Francisco Cervelli Could Return Next Week

Via Chad Jennings of the Journal News: Girardi indicated that it’s possible Francisco Cervelli will be activated during the upcoming home stand. He’ll DH tonight and catch again tomorrow. “We’ll see how he’s feeling,” Girardi said.”I’m not saying we’ll make a decision, but he’s doing pretty good.” This is good news. Even though ...
