New York Yankees

Following a two-year postseason absence, the New York Yankees guaranteed they'll be playing playoff baseball in October again thanks to a 4-1 win over the Boston Red Sox on Thursday. The victory was also the 10,000th in franchise history.

NEW YORK — Masahiro Tanaka made it through the regular season without needing Tommy John surgery, so that's something. He made it through his final regular-season start with his hamstring intact—another positive.

The pick-an-ace game of chance will not work in October.

The New York Yankees need a definitive answer. But for nearly six months, that all-important No. 1 spot in the rotation has been a revolving door of what-have-you-done-for-me-lately candidates, none of which have been able to keep the position in their grasps for what seems like more than a couple of weeks at a time because of ineffectiveness, injuries or both. 

NEW YORK — Over in the National League, the Wild Card Game matchup seemed set weeks ago.

Here in the American League, no one wants to acknowledge that any part of it is set yet.

Legendary New York Yankees catcher Yogi Berra died of natural causes at the age of 90 Tuesday night at his home in New Jersey.

News of Berra's death came via the Yogi Berra Museum, and the Yankees' official Twitter feed paid tribute to their iconic player:

How huge (pun sort of intended) would some vintage CC Sabathia be for the New York Yankees down the stretch?

Yes, the hulking left-hander sports a less-than-stellar 4.80 ERA. And yes, he's an injury-plagued 35-year-old with a creaky right knee.

After two straight solid starts by the six-time All-Star and 2007 American League Cy Young-winner, though, the Yankees can be forgiven for dreaming big.

The New York Yankees pitching staff took a hit Sunday when the team announced Masahiro Tanaka will miss Wednesday's start with a Grade 1 right hamstring strain.

With the New York Yankees attempting to make their way into the postseason, everyone is wondering who would be the best and worst matchups for the team. 

Where do the Yankees stand against the New York Mets? Who do the Yankees stand a solid chance against?

New York Yankees slugger Alex Rodriguez has been diagnosed with a bone bruise in his left knee after undergoing an MRI on Tuesday.

NEW YORK — The ceremony will be simple, the New York Yankees say.

Nothing elaborate. No special guests. Just a nice little acknowledgement of what Alex Rodriguez did by reaching 3,000 hits.

Simple...as if anything with Rodriguez can ever be simple.

Just like what the Yankees did after Derek Jeter's 3,000th hit, except with A-Rod, nothing can be just like Jeter.
