Yankees reliever David Bednar convinced manager Aaron Boone not to change pitchers with two outs in the ninth inning Wednesday, then finished off a five-out, five-strikeout, 42-pitch save in a 3-2 win over the Rangers.AP ARLINGTON, Texas — With the Yankees up a run with two outs in the ninth inning Wednesday, manager Aaron Boone’s mind was made up during …

ARLINGTON, Texas — There was not much left for the Yankees to salvage from their road trip, but at least there is this: They flew home still clinging to a playoff spot with 47 games to go. If things had followed the script of the first two games of this series, the Rangers would have finished off a sweep on …

A scoreless game did not allow Aaron Boone to hide Devin Williams on Tuesday night. Just one day after yet another crushing blown save by Williams, Boone needed someone to pitch the eighth inning of a scoreless game against the Rangers. Some managers may have avoided a struggling reliever, who seemingly had lost his closing job earlier in the day, …

ARLINGTON, Texas — The New York Yankees’ infielders converged on the mound, surrounding struggling reliever Devin Williams. It allowed extra time for David Bednar and Mark Leiter Jr. — pitchers historically good against lefty batters — to warm up in the bullpen. Williams had just issued a walk to load the bases, and lefty hitter Rowdy Tellez was up next. …

The Yankees have lost five games in a row, again. Tonight, it was a complete collapse of the offense, despite the joy we all felt at seeing Aaron Judge’s name back in the lineup. Pair that with yet another disastrous outing by Devin Williams, and we’re still searching for rock bottom with this ballclub. I’m glad this is my first …

ARLINGTON, Texas — In yet another sign that nothing is going right for the sinking New York Yankees, the club on Tuesday demoted struggling right-hander Jake Bird, one of the three relievers they acquired at last week’s trade deadline to boost the bullpen. Bird surrendered the walk-off, three-run home run in the 10th inning to the Texas Rangers’ Josh Jung …

ARLINGTON, Texas — This is generally the time of year, or at least the kind of stretch, when Aaron Boone has been known to offer some version of the familiar refrain: It’s all right in front of us. Except that has been missing from his vocabulary during this road trip from hell, perhaps because what is right in front of …

The Texas Rangers scored two runs while the New York Yankees scored zero runs. For a while there, I thought Nu LSB was cursed. After all, seven of the first eight innings for the Rangers had opportunities with runners in scoring position and it took until a bases loaded 10-pitch two-RBI hit from big Rowdy Tellez to finally get the …

Aaron Boone has been catching all kinds of heat for the Yankees’ recent struggles, but former pitcher Lance Lynn is stepping to the manager’s defense. “If it needs to be addressed, he is addressing it,” the longtime pitcher said Monday on the “Foul Territory” podcast. “He’s not gonna talk through the media, he’s not gonna tell you what’s going on …

New York Yankees captain Aaron Judge was activated off the 10-day injured list Tuesday after being sidelined since July 25 because of a flexor strain in his right elbow. Manager Aaron Boone said Monday that Judge would serve as the designated hitter when he first returned to the lineup against the Texas Rangers. The Yankees have lost four consecutive games. …
