Yankees' Ben Rice: Lifts homer No. 35
Rice went 1-for-2 with a solo home run, two walks and two additional runs scored in Wednesday's 9-3 win over Houston.
Rice blasted his third home run in his last nine games Wednesday. The All-Star slugger is now up 35 homers on the season, trailing only Yordan Alvarez's 36 long balls in the American League. For the year, Rice is slashing a robust .251/.350/.529 with 20 doubles, three triples, 83 RBI, three stolen bases and 83 runs scored across 546 plate appearances.

Yankees' Elmer Rodriguez: Fans career-high six in quality start
Rodriguez took a no-decision against the Astros on Wednesday, allowing three runs on two hits and two walks in six innings. He struck out six.
It was arguably a career-best start for Rodriguez, who fanned a career-high six Wednesday. It was also his first quality start of the year and the first time he completed at least five frames altogether. Rodriguez tends to operate on a spot-start basis for the Yankees, but for now he's tentatively set to bring a 4.70 ERA, 1.52 WHIP and 16:13 K:BB over 23 major-league innings into his next outing in Anaheim against the lowly Angels.

Yankees' Fernando Cruz: Diagnosed with partial UCL tear
Cruz was diagnosed with a partial tear in his right UCL on Wednesday, Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports.
Cruz will seek out a second opinion following his initial diagnosis, but manager Aaron Boone noted that Tommy John surgery is on the table. Even if the right-hander manages to avoid going under the knife, he would likely still miss the remainder of the regular season. Brent Headrick and Paul Blackburn are likely candidates to see an uptick in setup opportunities while Cruz is out.

Yankees' Luis Garcia: Power surge continues in rout
Garcia went 3-for-5 with a two-run home run and two additional runs scored in Wednesday's 9-3 win over Houston.
Garcia added to his recent power surge Wednesday, going deep for the fourth time in his last six games. Additionally, the slugging first baseman has racked up at least three hits on three occasions during that period. Over 79 plate appearances since being traded the Yankees at the deadline, Garcia is slashing .306/.354/.569 with five long balls, four doubles, 11 RBI and 11 runs scored.

Yankees' Clarke Schmidt: Nearing rehab assignment
Yankees manager Aaron Boone said Wednesday that Schmidt (elbow) is ready to begin a rehab assignment, Gary Phillips of the New York Daily News reports.
Schmidt checked out well after throwing a live batting practice session Tuesday and will presumably report to an affiliate this weekend for what will mark his first game action since he underwent an internal brace procedure last July. While the Yankees haven't officially ruled out Schmidt coming back from the 60-day injured list as a starter, the expectation is that he'll be preparing for a return as a multi-inning relief role during his rehab assignment.

Yankees' Kervin Castro: Shifted to 60-day injured list
The Yankees transferred Castro (elbow) from the 15-day injured list to the 60-day IL.
The transaction frees a spot on the 40-man roster for the addition of Michael Fulmer, who signed a one-year contract. Castro hit the shelf in mid-August due to right elbow neuritis, and Gary Phillips of the New York Daily News reports that the 27-year-old is scheduled to meet with Dr. Keith Meister in the near future to determine whether surgery is necessary to address the injury. Even if Castro is able to avoid a procedure, his move to the 60-day IL officially ends his season.

Yankees' Michael Fulmer: Nets MLB deal from Yankees
The Yankees signed Fulmer to a one-year contract Wednesday.
Fulmer elected free agency Tuesday after being removed from the Angels' 40-man roster, and he was quickly able to secure a big-league deal with the Yankees. The veteran righty has spun 3.2 scoreless frames during his brief time in the majors in 2026 and holds a 2.93 ERA and 52:21 K:BB across 43 innings this season at the Triple-A level.

Yankees' Elmer Rodriguez: Summoned for Wednesday's start
The Yankees recalled Rodriguez from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Wednesday.
Rodriguez will start Wednesday's game against the Astros, and if he performs well, he could receive at least one additional start with the big club. The right-hander has collected a 4.76 ERA and 10:11 K:BB over 17 innings in his first four starts with the Bronx Bombers.

Yankees' Bradley Hanner: Bound for Triple-A
The Yankees optioned Hanner to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Wednesday.
In his first-ever stint in the majors, Hanner gave up three runs with a 6:0 K:BB over four innings. The right-handed reliever could get another look from the Yankees in September.

Yankees' Fernando Cruz: Sidelined by elbow soreness
The Yankees placed Cruz on the 15-day injured list Wednesday with right elbow soreness.
Cruz was tagged for a couple runs over one inning of relief in Tuesday's loss to the Astros, and to make matters worse, he came out of the appearance with elbow discomfort. The Yankees haven't provided word yet regarding how much time he might miss, but the loss of Cruz is a major blow to the bullpen ranks. Cruz holds a 3.13 ERA and 67:32 K:BB over 54.2 frames this season.

Yankees' Elmer Rodriguez: Confirmed as Wednesday's starter
Rodriguez will be recalled from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre to start Wednesday's game against the Astros, Chris Kirschner of The Athletic reports.
Rodriguez will be making his fifth big-league start after logging a 4.76 ERA and 10:11 K:BB over 17 innings in his first four turns. The rookie right-hander has been much better at Scranton/Wilkes-Barre with a 2.59 ERA and 99:46 K:BB over 97.1 frames. Rodriguez could be given at least one additional start for the Yankees beyond Wednesday.

Yankees' Cody Bellinger: Smacks first homer since IL return
Bellinger went 1-for-5 with a three-run home run during Tuesday's 9-7 loss to Houston.
Bellinger got the Yankees on the board with a three-run long ball off Ethan Pecko in the third inning to give New York a 3-2 lead. It was Bellinger's first home run since being activated from the IL on Sunday and extended his hit streak to eight games, dating back to July 19 against the Dodgers. He has a .346 batting average (18-for-52) over his last 14 outings with one home run and six RBI.

Yankees' Luis Garcia: Big night against Houston
Garcia went 4-for-5 with a two-run home run, an RBI double and an additional run scored during Tuesday's 9-7 loss to the Astros.
Garcia tied a season high in hits Tuesday, with his third hit being a two-run long ball off Ethan Pecko to give the Yankees a 5-3 lead in the fifth inning. Since being acquired by the Yankees from the Nationals in early August, Garcia has an .860 OPS with four home runs and nine RBI over 74 plate appearances.

Yankees' Will Warren: No-decision against Houston
Warren did not factor into the decision in Tuesday's game against the Astros, allowing three runs (two earned) on seven hits and two walks while striking out four across five innings.
It wasn't the smoothest of outings for Warren, who allowed at least two baserunners in four of the five innings he pitched. He's allowed at least six hits in four of his last six outings, and over his last seven starts he has a 5.65 ERA, 1.60 WHIP and 30:12 K:BB over 28.2 innings. Warren is lined up to make his next start this weekend at home against the Red Sox.

Yankees' Elmer Rodriguez: Likely to start Wednesday's game
Yankees manager Aaron Boone said Tuesday that there's a good chance Rodriguez will start Wednesday's game against the Astros, Chris Kirschner of The Athletic reports.
Boone will wait for the conclusion of Tuesday's contest before officially deciding who will take the ball Wednesday. The Yankees have a doubleheader Saturday and won't have an off day until Sept. 3, so Rodriguez could make a couple starts with the big club. He's logged a 4.76 ERA and 10:11 K:BB in 17 innings covering four starts in the majors this season, and the rookie holds a 2.59 ERA and 99:46 K:BB over 97.1 innings this year with Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre.

Yankees' Aaron Judge: Progressing to cage work
Manager Aaron Boone said Judge (ribs) is scheduled to hit in the batting cage Tuesday, Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports.
The 34-year-old started up a hitting progression last week and is now ready to move on to hitting overhand batting practice after previously being limited to tee-and-toss. Judge also continues to play catch and run while working his way back from a stress fracture in his rib. He's progressing well, but it'll likely be at least a couple more weeks before he has a realistic chance of rejoining the Yankees.

Yankees' Max Fried: Could be ready to return Saturday
Yankees manager Aaron Boone said Tuesday that Fried (elbow) threw a four-inning live batting practice session Monday and could be available to return from the 15-day injured list to make a start during Saturday's doubleheader versus the Red Sox, Gary Phillips of the New York Daily News reports.
Fried landed on the IL one week ago due to a recurrence of the left elbow bone bruise that caused him to miss more than two months of action earlier this season. However, the injury isn't considered as serious this time around, as the left-hander appears poised to skip a rehab assignment and re-enter the Yankees rotation Saturday with a start against his team's rival. He'll throw another bullpen session in the next day or two before the Yankees decide on his next step.
