Aaron Judge

NYY Right Fielder #99

Aaron Judge will bat cleanup for the American League in Tuesday’s All-Star Game.

It seems Bruce Bochy disagrees with Aaron Boone in using Judge as a No. 2 hitter. He has Judge batting behind Steven Kwan, Gunnar Henderson and Juan Soto on Tuesday, so unless someone gets on base, we’ll miss out on a Paul Skenes-Judge matchup. Rounding out the lineup behind Judge will be Yordan Alvarez, José Ramírez, Vladimir Guerrero Jr., Adley Rutschman and Marcus Semien.
Ben Hess

NYY Starting Pitcher

Yankees selected Alabama RHP Ben Hess with the No. 26 pick of the 2024 MLB Draft.

Hess is massive (6'5/255), and at his best, he’s shown some of the better stuff of any collegiate arm. He’s dealt with injury issues and some inconsistency when on the mound, but at his best you see a plus fastball and slider and average curveball with a similarly-graded change. Hess offers a little more risk than a typical college arm, but maybe a little more reward with it.
Cody Morris

NYY Relief Pitcher #82

Yankees designated RHP Cody Morris for assignment.

The Yankees needed to free up a spot on their 40-man roster with Scott Effross returning from the 60-day injured list and unfortunately Morris was the odd-man out this time around. The 27-year-old hurler hasn’t pitched in the big-leagues this season, posting a 4.25 ERA, 1.47 WHIP and a 42/26 K/BB ratio over 36 innings at Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre. There’s a chance that he could generate some interest on waivers.
Scott Effross

NYY Relief Pitcher #59

Yankees activated RHP Scott Effross from the 60-day injured list and optioned him to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre.

The 30-year-old hurler has worked his way all the way back from Tommy John surgery and could be ready to join the Yankees’ bullpen after the All-Star break. It’s likely that they simply want him to remain there for a few days over the break before he’s ready to make his 2024 season debut.
Jorbit Vivas

NYY Second Baseman #90

Yankees optioned INF Jorbit Vivas to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre.

Vivas was called up leading into the weekend series against the Orioles, but he didn’t make an appearance. The 23-year-old will hope to earn another opportunity during the second half.
Jose Trevino

NYY Catcher #39

Jose Trevino is dealing with a Grade 2 strain of his left quad.

Trevino has received a PRP injection and is expected to miss extended time. Carlos Narvaez was called up when Trevino landed on the IL, though Austin Wells should handle the bulk of the starts for now. Now that Trevino is facing an extended absence, it’s unclear if the Yankees would consider giving Ben Rice time behind the plate. If not, they could look to the trade market this month.
Clay Holmes

NYY Relief Pitcher #35

Clay Holmes blew the save and took the loss in stunning fashion Sunday against the Orioles.

Who else is dizzy right now? After entering the bottom of the ninth with a 5-3 lead, Holmes allowed a leadoff single to Kyle Stowers and went on to load the bases with walks to Ryan O’Hearn and Adley Rutschman before an error from Anthony Volpe allowed a run to score. Cedric Mullins then poked a ball to left field, which landed over the head of Alex Verdugo after he stumbled. Given the stakes, it’s hard to think of a more demoralizing loss. The Yankees will have a few days to dwell on the lost opportunity during the All-Star break. This wasn’t all Holmes’ fault, but he’s not exactly in the circle of trust right now.
Ben Rice

NYY Catcher #93

Ben Rice socked a go-ahead three-run homer in the top of the ninth inning before the Yankees collapsed against the Orioles on Sunday.

This one was a rollercoaster ride. Craig Kimbrel walked back-to-back batters to begin the ninth and Rice made him pay on a pitch which got a little too much of the plate. The good feelings didn’t last long, though, as the Orioles staged a comeback of their own in the bottom of the ninth. As for Rice, he now has six homers through his first 24 major league games and he continues to find himself in some prime real estate in the Yankees’ lineup. He’s well worth a pickup in leagues where he’s still available.
Carlos Rodon

NYY Starting Pitcher #55

Carlos Rodon labored over four innings while allowing two runs in a no-decision against the Orioles on Sunday.

He struck out seven. Rodon managed to keep the Orioles off the board outside of a two-run homer to Gunnar Henderson in the third inning, but he walked the tight rope. The southpaw allowed four hits and walked three, needing 98 pitches to get through his four frames. Rodon got off to a strong start this season, but the wheels have fallen off since the start of June and he’ll enter the second half as a major question mark for the Yankees.
Trent Grisham

NYY Center Fielder #12

Trent Grisham went 3-for-3 with a homer, two RBI, and a walk Sunday against the Orioles.

A rare big day for Grisham with the bat, as he drove in a run with a single in the second inning before depositing a pitch into the right-field seats in the fifth inning. He drew a walk to lead off the ninth and came around to score on Ben Rice’s go-ahead homer against Craig Kimbrel. Days like this one have been few and far between for Grisham this season, but he remains valuable in real life due to his outstanding defense.
