With Monday’s 4-3 win over the Kansas City Royals, the New York Yankees were officially through one-third of the regular season.

Their 32-22 record was second-best in the American League and in their own division, where they trail the Tampa Bay Rays (34-17) by 3 1/2 games.

The Memorial Day weekend is traditionally a time to take stock of teams. Here are our grades for each of the Yankees players so far.

Pitchers

David Bednar, RHP
Grade: C
Bednar is 12 of 14 in save tries, and his 4.70 ERA is more than double what it was last year with the Yankees (2.19). He’s worked around danger all season, allowing at least one base runner in 18 of his 23 appearances. His fastball has been around 96 mph, or down just about 1 mph from last season.

Jake Bird, RHP
Grade: D+
Bird has tantalized with an electric, high-whiff sweeper and sinker combination. But his command has been off and he’s gotten pounded at times, including giving up a go-ahead homer to Bobby Witt Jr. in the eighth inning Monday before the Yankees stormed back in the ninth for the win.

Paul Blackburn, RHP
Grade: B
The Yankees have followed an unorthodox roster route, keeping two long men in Blackburn and Ryan Yarbrough. Blackburn has eaten innings, which is what the club has needed him to do. Hard to complain about that.

Gerrit Cole, RHP
Grade: A
Six scoreless innings in his debut Friday? That’ll do. Cole looked like himself, touching 98.6 mph. He’s the most exciting thing about this team right now.

Fernando Cruz, RHP
Grade: B+
Cruz has been his typical self, working as a stopper and often getting the job done. His splitter looks almost like a knuckleball at times, and hitters have swung and missed 55.3 percent of the time against it.

Camilo Doval, RHP
Grade: D
What happened to the Doval who used to close games with the San Francisco Giants? The right-hander couldn’t be trusted after the Yankees traded for him last year, and that trend has continued. Doval’s fastball averages 97.6 mph, but he hasn’t gotten a strikeout in any of his last five appearances.

Max Fried, LHP
Grade: A-
Fried was 4-3 with a 3.21 ERA in 10 starts before going on the injured list 10 days ago with a left elbow bone bruise, which seems likely to keep him out a couple of months. The Yankees hate to see Fried miss any time, but at least he doesn’t need surgery. Fried’s command was lacking all season as his strikeout rate was a little down and his walks were a little up.

Luis Gil, RHP
Grade: F
Gil didn’t make the Opening Day roster, and he lasted just four starts before the Yankees sent him to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre. Then he needed to be shut down with shoulder inflammation. He’s far from the pitcher who won the 2024 American League Rookie of the Year award.

Brent Headrick, LHP
Grade: A
What a discovery. Headrick is tied for the second-most appearances in the majors at 27, and he’s got a 2.03 ERA with 29 strikeouts. The Yankees converted Headrick from starting to full-time relief last year, and he’s become one of their most effective weapons.

Tim Hill, LHP
Grade: A
Hill basically throws underhand, and his fastball is one of the slowest in the game at 88.3 mph. But he’s racked up 26 appearances and a 2.53 ERA as a trusted late-inning option.

Carlos Rodón, LHP
Grade: D
Rodón’s first two starts were duds, and though his third was better, he still hasn’t looked like he’s all the way back from offseason elbow surgery. The Yankees expect more from Rodón, who’s capable of providing it.

Elmer Rodríguez, RHP
Grade: B
The Yankees needed Rodríguez, one of their better pitching prospects, to be better than Gil. He’s done his job, posting a 4.15 ERA over three outings. For a control pitcher, he was shaky in that department. Still, he impressed the Yankees with his attitude and guts, looking steady in his start in the Subway Series.

Cam Schlittler, RHP
Grade: A+
Schlittler hasn’t just met the expectations he set with his debut last year; he’s far surpassed them. His 1.50 ERA over 11 starts was the best in the majors. His four-seamer, cutter and sinker combination has completely dominated hitters. On a staff with Cole, Fried and Rodón, it’s fair to wonder if Schlittler will wind up performing like the ace by season’s end.

Will Warren, RHP
Grade: A-
The Yankees have long been high on Warren, and he continues to repay their faith. Take out a bust of a four-inning, six-run start against the Texas Rangers and Warren would be sitting on a 2.67 ERA in 10 starts. He’s struck out nearly 30 percent of the hitters he’s faced.

Ryan Weathers, LHP
Grade: A
Remember when it seemed like a lock that the Yankees would put Weathers in the bullpen once their rotation was fully healthy? Well, he’s been indispensable with a 3.14 ERA in 10 starts. He’s already at 57 1/3 innings and has never thrown more than 94 2/3 innings in a big-league season.

Ryan Yarbrough, LHP
Grade: B
Like Blackburn, Yarbrough has mostly been here to eat innings. Ho-hum.

Catchers

JC Escarra, C
Grade: C
The Yankees are seemingly feeding Escarra more playing time, with Austin Wells continuing to struggle at the plate. On Monday, he had three hits, including two well-struck singles. He’s not the defender that Wells is, but there might be more in his bat right now.

Austin Wells, C
Grade: D+
Wells has been one of the game-s best pitch framers and little else. He hasn’t hit since last year’s All-Star break, and despite the Yankees’ constant support, his at-bats haven’t looked all that great much of the time either. Sure, Wells has amassed a good number of walks (14.7 BB%). But much of the rest of his advanced statistics point to a weak link in the lineup.

Infielders

José Caballero, SS
Grade: B+
Just about everyone expected Caballero to go back to being a super-utility player once Anthony Volpe returned from offseason left shoulder surgery. But Caballero has played too well, and has brought too much of a spark, for the Yankees to turn back to their former top prospect. Caballero has been one of the best defenders in the game and a tough out.

Jazz Chisholm Jr., 2B
Grade: C-
Chisholm started terribly, but he’s been on a tear, hitting .432 over his previous 10 games entering Monday, when he went 1-for-3 with a walk and raised his batting average to .247. He has hit just five home runs — a far cry from the 30-30 season he put up last year. But he’s trending upward.

Paul Goldschmidt, 1B
Grade: B
The Yankees have sharply reduced Goldschmidt’s playing time from last year in deference to the surging Ben Rice, and it’s worked. Going into Monday, Goldschmidt had a .869 OPS in 98 plate appearances. Plus, he’s still solid defensively.

Ryan McMahon, 3B
Grade: F
McMahon’s 60 wRC+ is the worst among Yankees regulars, and he’s graded out poorly on defense (minus-3 Defensive Runs Saved). He’s been almost unplayable.

Ben Rice, 1B
Grade: A+
Rice has vaulted himself, at least for now, into the upper echelon of hitters in the major leagues. He’s brought a blend of power and plate discipline that would fit in the middle of any lineup. Rice has been so good that the Yankees haven’t let him catch, partially out of fear that he’d be at increased injury risk. He’s been too valuable to mess around with.

Amed Rosario, UTL
Grade: C
Rosario had a nice run of big at-bats early, but he’s basically settled back into being only a platoon option offensively, with the Yankees crossing their fingers that the ball doesn’t get hit to him.

Max Schuemann, UTL
Grade: C
With Giancarlo Stanton and Jasson Domínguez on the IL, Schuemann has been a fill-in and defensive replacement for the Yankees.

Anthony Volpe, SS
Grade: C
Volpe returned from his offseason shoulder surgery on May 4 and the Yankees immediately demoted him. It was a short-lived, eight-day stint in Triple A, and since he returned to the majors, he’s looked much like himself. But he hasn’t done enough to unseat Caballero.

Outfielders

Cody Bellinger, LF
Grade: A
Bellinger so far has proved worth just about every penny of the five-year, $162.5-million deal the Yankees gave him this offseason. He continues to be one of the best defensive left fielders in baseball and worthy lineup protection for Aaron Judge, posting a .863 OPS, though most of his damage has come at home.

Jasson Domínguez, LF
Grade: B
Domínguez worked hard after his season-opening demotion, returning to the majors for nine games as a fill-in. Then he crashed into the outfield wall, spraining his left shoulder on a spectacular catch and landing on the IL.

Trent Grisham, CF
Grade: D+
For someone making the $22.025 million qualifying offer, Grisham is off to a bad start. He hasn’t looked close to replicating the production he had last year, when he hit a career-best 34 home runs. Still, he went into Monday with a not-terrible 96 OPS+ and hitting .381 in his previous seven games.

Spencer Jones, OF
Grade: D
Jones’ first promotion to the majors didn’t go swimmingly. He struck out 12 times in 27 plate appearances with no extra-base hits.

Aaron Judge, RF
Grade: A
Judge has run into a massive cold streak lately, but his .933 OPS was still eighth in MLB and he was third in home runs at 17. He gave the Yankees a much-needed lift with Sunday’s walk-off home run against the Rays. He’s been solid as usual defensively. The Yankees are just waiting for Judge to go on one of his patented tears to help pick up their offense, which has struggled for the last three weeks.

Giancarlo Stanton, DH
Grade: C
Stanton had a hot eight-game stretch to start the season and then hit .175 with two home runs over his next 16 games. Then he took what’s become his customary trip to the IL with a lower-body injury, this time a right calf strain, retroactive to April 25. It’s unclear when he’ll be back. Stanton’s biggest contribution lately has been Chisholm wearing his game pants to try to break his bad luck at the plate.
