New York Yankees vs. Kansas City Royals: Clarke Schmidt returns

1 week ago | elitesportsny.com | Josh Benjamin

Clarke Schmidt returns to the mound Wednesday night in what should be a solid pitching boost for the New York Yankees. Schmidt spent the first two weeks of the season on the injured list after needing extra time to ramp up his shoulder. That same shoulder limited the young righty to 16 starts in 2024, though he went 5-5 with a 2.85 ERA. His sinker touched 96 mph on his rehab assignment, so all signs point to a healthy arm.
Dave Sims: Yankees radio voice, baseball man, New Yorker

1 week ago | elitesportsny.com | Josh Benjamin

The New York Yankees have a new voice behind the mic at WFAN: longtime Seattle Mariners play-by-play man Dave Sims. He’s in the big chair alongside Suzyn Waldman after 35 years of John Sterling. “It’s an opportunity to work with a franchise that everybody knows,” Sims told me in a recent conversation. “And I’m coming in after a legendary career of John Sterling, and I’m ready. I’m doing my thing and I’m enjoying it. I really am.”Of course, Dave Sims is no stranger to New York.

2 weeks ago | elitesportsny.com | Josh Benjamin

The old Yankees-Giants rivalry is back on when the Bronx Bombers kick off a three-game series with San Francisco on Friday night. New York (7-5) are tied with Toronto (8-6) for first place in the AL East after New York came back down to earth in Detroit. San Francisco, on the other hand, is 9-3 and a half-game behind the Padres for first in the NL West after an early eight-game winning streak.
Cody Bellinger back in Yankees lineup following food poisoning

2 weeks ago | elitesportsny.com | Josh Benjamin

It’s been a rough few days for New York Yankees outfielder Cody Bellinger, who is back in the lineup after missing Tuesday’s 5-0 loss at Detroit with food poisoning. Speaking to reporters before Wednesday’s afternoon tilt, Bellinger explained it all. He was watching the men’s college basketball final on Monday night and ordered some buffalo wings from room service before getting sick in the middle of the night.
Carlos Carrasco pitching for his baseball future on Tuesday

2 weeks ago | elitesportsny.com | Josh Benjamin

It’s not blatantly obvious, but Yankees righty Carlos Carrasco is pitching for his future in Detroit on Tuesday. Granted, the 38-year-old veteran is no stranger to Comerica Park. Carrasco was a frequent visitor during his 12 years with Cleveland and went 6-5 with a 3.72 ERA in 15 games (13 starts) in the Motor City. Fast forward to today, and Carrasco is attempting a comeback following two-and-a-half forgettable years with the Mets, plus another pitstop in Cleveland.
Juan Soto is a Met, but the Mets are not yet "his" team

2 weeks ago | elitesportsny.com | Josh Benjamin

We’re nine games into the 2025 Major League Baseball Season and Juan Soto’s New York Mets career. New York is 6-3 early, good for second place in the NL East and one game behind the first-place Philadelphia Phillies. And Soto’s start wearing the orange and blue since signing his record 15-year, $765 million deal has been…pretty good? Soto is batting .250 with a home run and three RBI so far while drawing seven walks compared to four strikeouts.
Yankees are banking on the start of the Will Warren Era

3 weeks ago | elitesportsny.com | Josh Benjamin

The Yankees have been high on Will Warren for a long time. So long, in fact, that he’s getting the ball against Corbin Burnes and the Arizona Diamondbacks on Tuesday after a forgettable 2024. Warren, 25, struggled mightily throughout last season, registering a 10.32 ERA. He was 0-3 in seven games (six starts) and was no better in Triple-A, where he posted a 5.91 ERA despite a respectable 11.2 strikeouts per nine innings (K/9).

Juan Soto may be the new face of the New York Mets, but first baseman Pete Alonso is the heartbeat. The Polar Bear reminded everyone of that Monday night when he clubbed a grand slam against the Marlins at LoanDepot Park. Alonso’s homer was the big blast in New York’s seven-run fifth inning.

Analyzing the Yankees and Mets' opening series

3 weeks ago | elitesportsny.com | Josh Benjamin

We are three games into the 2025 Major League Baseball Season, “Overreaction Week,” as Yankees manager Aaron Boone dubbed it after his team’s 12-3 win over the Brewers on Sunday. New York completed a three-game sweep in the Bronx and outscored Milwaukee 36-14 while hitting a combined 15 home runs. The same cannot be said for the crosstown rival New York Mets. The boys in orange and blue began their year in Houston, where new star outfielder Juan Soto debuted with the Yankees in 2024.
Four Yankees home runs ruin Nestor Cortes' homecoming

3 weeks ago | elitesportsny.com | Josh Benjamin

The Yankees traded Nestor Cortes for closer Devin Williams in the offseason, and the crafty lefty had a rude homecoming on Saturday. Pitching for the Brewers against his former team, Cortes proceeded to give up three home runs on three pitches. First baseman Paul Goldschmidt, leading off for the first time in his career, started the barrage with a 413-foot blast into the Milwaukee bullpen. 1st pitch swinging.
