NYY Stats: Players to record at least 300 career HR and 200 career HBP Anthony Rizzo Don Baylor I was a big fan of Baylor. He was a very good hitter, tough guy, and always seemed a real good team player. I recall Frank Robinson getting hit quite a bit, but he "ONLY" had 198 HBPs. |

Took a golf ball off the chest once on a par 3 after waving a group up. Proud to say that I did not rub. |

It’s hard to rub when you fall to the ground unconscious and unable to breathe…😵💫 One of my poor dogs was to the left of me in my yard one day when I pulled a low screamer with my 4-iron. He was a big fellow, just a hair under 100 pounds. The ball him just above the left eye. He shook his head and just kept on going. I rubbed it for him. Poor guy couldn’t rub it for himself… |

FOX Sports: Yesterday, we relayed that Gerrit Cole’s rehab from nerve inflammation in his right elbow was progressing well. That’s certainly still the case, however Ken Rosenthal was quick to temper expectations. Speaking with FOX Sports, Rosenthal revealed that while the window to add the reigning AL Cy Young to the active roster opens on May 28th, Cole likely will not be activated immediately when his 60-day IL stint ends. Rosenthal wondered whether Cole will require the standard six-week buildup that normally takes place during spring training and speculated that it could be June until we see him back on a big league mound, the Yankees having the luxury of playing it cautious with their ace thanks to their strong start.

Yahoo! Sports | John Flanigan: Anthony Rizzo has been named the AL Player of the Week for the week ending April 28th thanks to his recent hot stretch and an impressive milestone. Rizzo became the 161st player in MLB history and 12th active player to reach 300 home runs when he launched a two-run blast in the eighth inning of the Yankees’ 15-3 win in the series finale against the Brewers. The 34-year-old lefty went 11-for-27 with four home runs, two doubles, seven RBI, and a 287 wRC+ during the seven-day stretch under consideration.

The Score | Ben Wrixon: The Angels announced Monday that they were designating Aaron Hicks for assignment, the second time the erstwhile Yankee has been DFA’d in as many years. Hicks parlayed a strong showing with the Orioles following his DFA by the Yankees into a major league deal with the Angels this winter, but has somehow performed even worse than his 28 games with the Yankees last year. In 18 games to start this season, Hicks slashed .140/.222/.193 with a 36.5-percent strikeout rate and 22 wRC+.

Very early in his career but I'm starting to feel that Volpe is the player we have seen. I'm not sure he's ever going to hit for average or be a high on base guy based on his MiLB history and what he's shown us at the big league level. He does enough things well that he will be given every chance to succeed but I do worry at some points the negatives may start to outweigh the positives. Is this criticism unfair......probably. In the words of Green Day, wake me up when September ends… Love that song. |

Took a golf ball off the chest once on a par 3 after waving a group up. Proud to say that I did not rub. My father-in-law hit me with a three-wood from the fairway. I was about thirty yards in front of him, standing next to my golf ball, waaaaaaay to his left. He hooked the ball badly and hit me in the right hamstring as I turned my back in a vain attempt to evade the inevitable. I had a bruise the next day the size of a coffee plate. Don't remember if I rubbed or not, but it hurt. |

He hooked the ball badly and hit me in the right hamstring as I turned my back in a vain attempt to evade the inevitable. I had a bruise the next day the size of a coffee plate. Don't remember if I rubbed or not, but it hurt. I played with a guy that was a swing practice fanatic and would take unannounced practice swings from just about anywhere with his driver. I walked up behind him one day, and while he didn’t hit me, in got to see the back of the head of his driver much more intimately than I wanted to… I knew a Hawaiian fellow that was our town barber and an excellent golfer. He also had a pronounced stutter. He once struck another golfer with his shot. The guy approached him angrily demanding “why didn’t to yell fore?” To which he replied “B-b-b-b-buddy, if you wait for me to say f-f-f-f-fore, you b-b-b-b- be dead.”… |

"Frigid" seems overly harsh. I've been happy overall with Nestor so far, it's not his fault the team can struggle to score runs at times and he only has 1 win. The shoulder issues haven't resurfaced and he's averaging 6 innings a start. A 3.49 FIP and 1.095 WHIP are both very solid. He's also got the best BB/K ratio of his career going so far. And if anyone should be stepping up in Cole's absence, it should be Rodon, who more or less has. www.yardbarker.com/mlb/articles/yankees_nestor_cortes_off_to_frigid_start/s1_13132_40312295 |

NY Post | Greg Joyce: DJ LeMahieu has been on the shelf since the start of the season thanks to a foul ball hitting off of his foot at the end of spring training, and his initial attempt at getting into a rehab game was cut immediately due to experiencing soreness. Undeterred, LeMahieu has been resting and doing his best to get back into form, and the Yankees got a promising update that could have him resume baseball activities within the next week. In addition, the team views his initial ramp-up as not totally wasted, and that it wouldn’t be a long wait to get him into rehab games once he’s going through the motions again. Hopefully, the team will have their super utility infielder back before long, and perhaps he can lend some longevity to the lineup.

NY Daily News | Gary Phillips: Austin Wells has gotten the short end of the stick at the plate so far this year, batting under .200 with his first homer of the year coming on Tuesday night despite getting a sizeable portion of the starting catcher role. Despite this, his process has shown the potential for major results, with his underlying metrics pinning him as the team’s second-best batter behind Soto, and he’s starting to see his luck turn in his favor. Look out for the young backstop to get his footing underneath him in the near future, because he could do some damage once he does.

A very tough guy.
