There are hot streaks at the plate, and then there’s whatever George Lombard Jr. is doing right now.

The Yankees’ No. 1 prospect and MLB Pipeline’s No. 20 overall posted three hits on Wednesday, his fourth consecutive game with multiple hits after spending almost a month on

Yankees have the pieces to swing big Deadline trades. But who's available?

With two weeks remaining until the Trade Deadline, the Yankees are among the contenders looking to upgrade some areas of concern as they prepare for the stretch run.

New York is in need of a catcher – preferably one who hits right-handed – as well as bullpen reinforcements, the latter becoming

Welcome back! Yankees' top prospect homers in first Triple-A at-bat since returning from the IL

After spending nearly a month on the IL, George Lombard Jr. doesn’t seem to be showing any signs of rust at the plate.

NEW YORK -- Hunter Dietz grew up just a few miles from the Yankees’ Player Development complex in Tampa, Fla., which means the young left-hander has passed by more times than he can count. There always seems to be activity on its pristine diamonds, separated from automobile traffic by high

NEW YORK – The chance to fit another Pettitte for pinstripes was too appealing an opportunity to pass on.

The Yankees selected Luke Pettitte, son of five-time World Series champion Andy Pettitte, in the eighth round of the MLB Draft (248th overall) on Sunday.

NEW YORK -- The Yankees believe strongly in their ability to develop pitchers and keep them healthy, which made University of Arkansas left-hander Hunter Dietz a compelling choice for their first selection in the 2026 MLB Draft on Saturday.

Yanks No. 4 prospect Lagrange shut down for 6 weeks

July 3, 2026

Hard-throwing right-hander Carlos Lagrange, ranked by MLB Pipeline as the Yankees’ No. 4 prospect (and No. 85 prospect overall), will not throw for approximately six weeks because of a capsular sprain in his right shoulder, the team announced Friday. The Yankees placed Lagrane on the

If imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, Henry Lalane has no better role model than himself.

Coming off the most dominant outing of his pro career, the Yankees’ No. 14 prospect twirled another gem. Lalane racked up 11 strikeouts over seven innings for Single-A Tampa, which

6-foot-7 Yanks prospect -- a Bronx native! -- strikes out career-high 12 at Single-A

@JesseABorek
June 26, 2026

Henry Lalane has long been something of a pitching enigma. Standing 6-foot-7 with a mid-90s fastball and above-average changeup, the ingredients have been there for the Bronx native to break out in the Yankees’ system.

The latest sign of it all coming together for the Yankees’ No.

The quest for adding as much talent to an organization is one that never rests. Which is why the Yankees tapped into an under-the-radar market Tuesday, coming to terms with right-hander Chien-Fan Lai, one of the premier Taiwanese prospects in the 2026 international class.

The whole point of having good prospects in a system is to get them to the big leagues. In a perfect world, teams amass a pool of talent in Triple-A, the proverbial phone call away, to be able to readily call up reinforcements when needed.

George Lombard Jr., the Yankees' No. 1 prospect, departed Tuesday's game for Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre with an apparent injury.

New York, New York: Yankees' top prospect delivers two-HR day at Triple-A

June 13, 2026

The Yankees are big believers in George Lombard Jr.'s talent. It's why they gave him a run during Grapefruit League play this spring and it's why they pushed their top prospect to Triple-A at just 20 years old in late April.

Every player has a unique path to pro ball, one filled with his own detours. It took Tony Rossi six years, three different collegiate stops and one rehab from Tommy John surgery, but the 26-year-old has nonetheless emerged as a relief weapon down on the Yankees’ farm.

Yankees' top pitching prospects a filthy one-two punch in Triple-A victory

Facing MLB’s No. 60 prospect on the mound is tough. Dealing with MLB’s No. 73 prospect as a reliever afterward? That’s nearly unfair.
