Yankees' DJ LeMahieu: Homers twice in Yankees' win
Rotowire
LeMahieu went 3-for-4 with a pair of solo home runs Friday in a 6-2 win over the Rays.
The multi-homer effort was the seventh of LeMahieu's career but his first since May of 2021. He also added a single and a walk and scored an additional run. It's the third home run this week for LaMahieu, who has assumed leadoff duties for the Yankees of late.

Yankees' Gerrit Cole: Fans 11 in win over Rays
Rotowire
Cole (11-4) picked up the win Friday, yielding two runs (one earned) on three hits and no walks over 7.2 innings in a 6-2 victory over the Rays. He struck out 11.
Cole was in control all night, permitting just a solo home run to Yandy Diaz and having an unearned run charged to his ledger after he was lifted in the eighth inning. The right-hander's 11 strikeouts tied a season high, and he induced 17 swinging strikes on an even 100 pitches. It was a terrific bounce-back effort from Cole after his ERA rose above 3.00 for the first time all season when he coughed up six runs his last time out. The right-hander's ERA now sits at 2.95, and he's up to 181 strikeouts over 168 frames.

Yankees' Josh Donaldson: Nears rehab assignment
Rotowire
Yankees manager Aaron Boone said Friday that Donaldson (calf) is nearing a rehab assignment, Chris Kirschner of The Athletic reports.
Donaldson is performing all baseball activities without issue as he nears the completion of his recovery from the severe right calf strain that has kept him on the shelf since mid-July. He could return from the 60-day injured list when first eligible in mid-September if all goes well during his minor-league rehab stint, but the 37-year-old impending free agent might only be a bench bat for New York in the closing weeks of the 2023 campaign.

Yankees' Harrison Bader: Heads to bench Friday
Rotowire
Bader is absent from the lineup Friday versus the Rays.
Isiah Kiner-Falefa will start in center field for the Yankees after Bader went 0-for-5 with four strikeouts in Thursday's series finale against the Nationals. The 29-year-old impending free agent has batted .249/.287/.381 with seven homers and 16 steals through 78 games this season.

Yankees' Anthony Rizzo: Advances to batting practice
Rotowire
Rizzo (concussion) took batting practice on the field both Wednesday and Thursday, Max Goodman of The Newark Star-Ledger reports.
Rizzo reported Wednesday that he was feeling good about his progress after being diagnosed with post-concussion syndrome in early August. The veteran slugger is working toward a return, though his status is still considered week-to-week. The Yankees have lost 10 of 11 contests to fall 10 games out of a wild-card spot, but the organization appears willing to be patient with Rizzo and not rush his return.

Yankees' Giancarlo Stanton: Homers, collects four hits
Rotowire
Stanton went 4-for-5 with a home run, a double and two RBI in Thursday's loss to Washington.
Stanton recorded hits in each of his first two trips to the plate but was left stranded both times as the Yankees grabbed an early lead. He then launched a solo shot to lead off the bottom of the eighth and drove home Oswald Peraza with a single in the ninth to make it a one-run game, though New York would still come up short. It marked the 33-year-old outfielder's first four-hit performance of the season while it was his first game with an RBI since Aug. 13. He's now batting .222 in August with five home runs, 12 RBI and eight runs scored.

Yankees' Michael King: Strikes out three as opener
Rotowire
King did not factor into the decision Thursday, allowing one unearned run on one hit and two walks over 2.2 innings against the Nationals while striking out three.
King pitched well over the first two innings but found himself in a jam in the third after walking two of the first four batters he faced in the frame. One unearned run came home following a fielding error by Anthony Volpe and the right-hander was then relieved by Keynan Middleton as New York went with a bullpen day. The Yankees have now lost the last four games in which King has appeared, though he's held his own so far in August with a 3.00 ERA and 20:5 K:BB.

Yankees' Jhony Brito: Set to work in bulk relief
Rotowire
Brito will serve as a bulk reliever behind opening pitcher Michael King in Thursday's game against the Nationals, Seth Rothman of YES Network reports.
King has maxed out at 3.2 innings over his 41 appearances this season and will be pitching on three days rest, so he's unlikely to work deep into the game before turning things over to Brito, who is expected to be tasked with covering multiple frames in relief. Though Brito's innings count will likely be capped more coming out of the bullpen than if he were operating as a traditional starter, he should have a better chance at factoring into the decision while he works in bulk relief.

Yankees' DJ LeMahieu: Snaps homer drought in victory
Rotowire
LeMahieu went 1-for-4 with a solo home run Wednesday in a 9-1 win over Washington.
Aaron Judge smashed three homers in the game to lead New York's offense, but LeMahieu made a contribution as well with his seventh-inning solo shot. The long ball snapped a streak of 20 games without a homer for LeMahieu, and it was just his second home run over his past 46 contests. Power has never been the biggest part of the veteran's game, and it's clear that the 26 long balls he hit in 2019 in his first season as a Yankee were an aberration. Since that campaign, LeMahieu has gone deep a modest 41 times over 429 games.

Yankees' Harrison Bader: Swipes two bags in win
Rotowire
Bader went 2-for-3 with a double, a walk, two runs and two stolen bases in Wednesday's 9-1 victory versus Washington.
Aaron Judge stole the show Wednesday with three home runs, but Bader posted a nice stat line as well while notching his first multi-hit game in nearly two weeks. The center fielder also logged his first multi-steal contest of the campaign, raising his season total to 16 thefts in 18 attempts. That stat has been the primary source of Bader's fantasy value, as he's otherwise posted a quiet .254/.292/.388 slash line with seven homers, 39 RBI and 40 runs over 289 plate appearances.

Yankees' Aaron Judge: Slugs three homers Wednesday
Rotowire
Judge went 3-for-4 with three home runs and six total RBI in a 9-1 win over the Nationals on Wednesday.
Judge came into Wednesday in the midst of a quiet August during which he was batting just .200 with a modest (by his standards) four homers and six RBI over 19 games. The reigning AL MVP made plenty of noise against the Nationals, sandwiching a second-inning grand slam between solo shots in the first and seventh frames. The three-homer game was the first of Judge's career, and the six RBI tied his career-best mark. Despite missing over 50 games this season due to injury, Judge has belted 27 long balls, fifth most in the American League.

Yankees' Luis Severino: Bounces back Wednesday
Rotowire
Severino (3-8) earned the win over Washington on Wednesday, allowing one hit and two walks while striking out two batters over 6.2 scoreless innings.
Severino came into the contest struggling so mightily that his role in the rotation was in some question -- he had posted a 14.17 ERA and 2.48 WHIP over 13.1 innings while losing each of his previous four starts. For one game at least, the right-hander turned things around, tying his longest outing of the campaign with 6.2 frames and posting his second scoreless outing. Severino struck out just two batters, but the Yankees (and his fantasy managers) probably won't dwell over that given the positive start overall. It's going to take more than just this outing to declare Severino back to form, but it was certainly a step in the right direction and leaves little doubt that he'll remain in the rotation for now. His next start is tentatively scheduled to come in Detroit early next week.

Yankees' Michael King: Opening Thursday's game
Rotowire
King will serve as the Yankees' opening pitcher for Thursday's game against Washington, Gary Phillips of the New York Daily News reports.
King allowed two runs in two innings during his last outing as an opener on Aug. 12 against Miami. He'll presumably stay in Thursday's contest for 2-to-3 innings before turning the game over to the bullpen, with Jhony Brito being the most likely candidate to work in bulk relief.

Yankees' Matt Krook: Returns from IL
Rotowire
Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre reinstated Krook (back) from the 7-day injured list Wednesday, Conor Foley of The Scranton Times-Tribune reports.
Krook will return to the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre bullpen after he had been sidelined for just over a month with a back issue. Over 25.2 innings with the Triple-A club this season, Krook has posted a 0.70 ERA, 1.03 WHIP and 46:18 K:BB.
