Since baseball shut down in March of last year, we have kept you posted on what the Yankees have been up to on social media. Although baseball is getting back to normal, it’s still fun to check in our favorite players and Yankee figures, so we will continue to do so throughout 2021. Here’s your weekly update on what your favorite Yankees have been doing on social media!
The Yankees celebrate a series victory
The Yankees had a big week this past week. Prior to the crushing weekend at Fenway, they’d won series against the Boston Red Sox and the Philadelphia Phillies, winning four of their six games. New York has been struck by injuries and COVID, so they’ve had a lot of replacement players running out there, but they’ve held their own, especially Greg Allen. Gleyber Torres has also been heating up at the right time. They both posted on social media after their big weeks.
