Last season, New York Yankees ace Gerrit Cole was asked which Latin hitter has given him the most trouble throughout his career. His answer was immediate:"Rafael Devers," Cole said. Now, Cole won't have to worry about the slugging lefty nearly as much.

BOSTON - The memories still hit like a catcher's mitt to the face. Last Friday, during the season's first matchup between the Boston Red Sox and New York Yankees, Boston's NESN broadcast showed a 21-year-old clip of Red Sox catcher Jason Varitek smacking Yankees third baseman Alex Rodriguez in the mouth, a home plate brawl that still resonates from Brookline to the Bronx. "Ah, the good old days," former Red Sox infielder Lou Merloni said on the broadcast. "That was a moment, wasn't it?"It sure was.

NEW YORK - New York Yankees third baseman Jazz Chisholm Jr. and assistant hitting coach Pat Roessler were chatting recently. The two have grown exceptionally close since the Yankees traded for Chisholm last year. And that's despite a 38-year age gap between the 65-year-old coach from Arizona and the 27-year-old slugger from the Bahamas. Roessler, whose nickname is "Six," had a suggestion for Chisholm, an idea he's heard his whole life but might have only lately started to grasp.

NEW YORK - The New York Yankees are holding their breath. Shortstop Anthony Volpe went for X-rays and a CT scan on his left elbow after he was hit by a pitch and left Friday night's game vs. the Boston Red Sox at Yankee Stadium. Volpe had a bruise on his elbow, the team added. Red Sox starting pitcher Walker Buehler hit Volpe with an errant 89-mph changeup on a 2-2 count with the bases loaded and the Yankees ahead, 6-0, in the second inning. It scored Paul Goldschmidt.

Ryan Yarbrough doesn't know why he started doing it, but it feels good. The New York Yankees' 6-foot-5 pitcher begins his delivery by raising his right leg high. But as he pushes toward home plate, he does something strange. He drops his left arm and releases the ball like he's much shorter than he is. It's like he's skipping a rock across the surface of a pond. In his mind, he's doing nothing different than anyone else.
