Juan Soto

Judge avoided a fracture in his hand after being hit by a pitch. New York players felt Baltimore was throwing too close to their hands.

Exercise and hitting in an indoor batting cage convinced the Yankees the 25-year-old star was ready to return to the lineup.

In the next seven weeks, the Yankees have a rare opportunity to improve from a mere World Series contender to a legitimate favorite.

Grisham's 3-run home run against Los Angeles turned the New York fans' chants from "We want Soto" to "We want Grisham."

"To me, the Yankees are the Yankees," Rivera said. "It's a special place. It's second to none. He knows."

Soto did not play in the Yankees' loss Friday night to the Dodgers, but the day still felt like a win for the organization.

Soto left Thursday night’s game with discomfort in his left throwing forearm and was scheduled for tests Friday.

The pair currently ranks first and second in the majors in OPS+, something no righty-lefty teammate combo has ever done in a full season.

Soto will undergo imaging Friday to determine whether a deeper injury is present.

Soto's eye as a hitter started by hitting bottle caps shortly after he learned to walk. It's evolved well beyond that with the Yankees.

From virtual locks like Judge and Soto to bubble picks like Marcus Stroman and Carlos Rodón, a look at possible Yankees All-Stars.

Boras wouldn't say whether he and the Yankees' Hal Steinbrenner have discussed re-signing Soto. But he discussed Soto's value.

Soto gave San Diego fans plenty of chances to boo him, including when he blasted a 423-foot homer and jubilantly rounded third base.

The Yankees' offseason priority will be to re-sign Soto and shed costs. If he sets a contract record, can he fit in a pared-down payroll?

Soto is known for his attention to detail as a hitter. With the Yankees he has shown that same dedication to his defense in right field.

Soto snapped out of a deep funk at the plate to blast two solo home runs and finish 4-for-4 with a walk Saturday.

Soto's otherworldly plate discipline makes the greatest pitchers in the sport sweat.
