After experiencing late-season fatigue in each of the last two seasons, Yankees pitcher Luis Severino has changed his diet, is drinking more water and is getting more exercise.
The Yankees called up infielder Gleyber Torres, one of baseball's most highly touted young prospects. He will bat eighth and play second base Sunday against the Blue Jays.
Yankees general manager Brian Cashman says he has been pleased with how Giancarlo Stanton has handled the slump that has marked the start of his tenure as a Yankee.
This wasn't the start Giancarlo Stanton envisioned. But he says it will take much more than "a bad week" to turn his outlook sour. "A couple of good games, and I could turn it around and help us win," he said.
One day after striking out five times in his home debut at Yankee Stadium, Giancarlo Stanton got real Bronx cheers after hitting a home run in his first at-bat Wednesday.
In his first at-bat for the Yankees, Giancarlo Stanton crushed a pitch from Blue Jays starter J.A. Happ for a 426-foot homer to right field. He hit another 434-foot shot in the ninth.
