Latest news and updates about the Yankees
Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders: W, 4-3 at Rochester Red Wings — the report is that Luis Gil will start today for Scranton and then return to the Yankees’ rotation once the fifth starter’s spot comes up Friday LF Jasson Domínguez 1-3, 2B, BB, K — double off a leftySS Oswaldo Cabrera 0-42B Max Schuemann 1-3, BB, […]
At the end of the season, all the wins count the same. Whether it involves a triple-grand-slam blowout with 22 runs, a 1-0 near-perfecto, or a game you never should’ve won but was handed to you with a last-second error, they’re generally all equal. Call last night’s Yankees win over the Marlins something closer to […]
MLB | Bryan Hoch: After beginning 2026 at Triple-A with a packed house in the rotation, 2024 AL Rookie of the Year Luis Gil is set to make his season debut this coming week. Gil is scheduled to start today for Scranton/Wilkes-Barre (his first appearances this year) and will then pitch for the Yankees on […]
In Saturday night’s game thread, we mentioned how Giancarlo Stanton hadn’t had much success against his former team, but in this back-and-forth affair, the game-winning at-bat came from the Yankees’ DH. Stanton drove in a pair in the eighth inning with a single to give the Yankees the lead in what ultimately became a 9-7 […]
As far as regular-season games go, this one is as big as it’s gotten so far for Ryan Weathers, personally. The newest member of the Yankee rotation will pitch for the first time in front of his new home crowd and will do so against none other than his former team, the Miami Marlins. This […]
MLB has been saturated with closer entrances, and like Josh, I find it to be tiresome. Good closer entrances, like any other enduring cultural bit that baseball has to offer, work because they are organic, spontaneous, and sincere – rooted in the fan experience, or at least embraced by fans, instead of being forcefully planted […]
The 2019 Yankees were a very odd team. They had a number of players come somewhat out of nowhere to put up solid seasons, and often in response to another member of the team going down with an injury. Cameron Maybin was one of those who stepped up. Having been a cash considerations pickup early […]
The Yankees’ hot start to 2026 hummed along yesterday in their home opener. Aaron Judge and Ben Rice brought the lumber as Will Warren outpitched talented young Marlins righty Eury Pérez, and the Yankees woon, 8-6. At 6-1, the Yankees have the best record in baseball. So call the season there! It’s over! No? Whatever, […]
Anyone who has been reading Pinstripe Alley for a while knows that I like to talk about arguably the most mundane defensive position on the diamond, that of the first baseman. Much like offensive linemen in the NFL, first basemen only draw attention to themselves when something goes wrong, either when they save an infielder […]

When you’re going good, you’re going good. The Yankees got more great pitching and a home run from their captain in an easy win in the home opener, running their record to 6-1 on this young season. The season is oh-so-long, and the nature of baseball will ensure that the Yankees will have to take […]
ESPN | Jorge Castillo: On Thursday night, with the Yankees’ home 0pener looming, the team’s players received a missive from their captain. The message was simple: suits tomorrow. Aaron Judge followed up on his sartorial directive with a booming two-run homer in the first, setting the tone for an eventual 8-2 victory. “That’s what he […]
Good afternoon everyone, it’s time to dive back into the mailbag and answer some of your questions. Remember to send in your questions for our weekly call by e-mail to pinstripealleyblog [at] gmail [dot] com. The idiot that said, “Harper is coming” asks: What are your general thoughts about the team as currently constructed? Good enough […]
Everything’s been coming up Yankees for the first week or so of the 2026 season. After a 5-1 West Coast trip to open the season that went about as good as anyone could’ve asked for, the Bronx Bombers came home to face an equally hot Miami Marlins team that was feeling good about themselves after […]
After a highly successful 5-1 road trip to open the season, the Yankees return home to Yankee Stadium for the first time in 177 days to open a three-game set with the Miami Marlins on a rare Friday matinee. The Marlins come into this one on a roll to start the season, taking advantage of […]
Welcome to SB Nation Reacts, a survey of fans across Major League Baseball. Throughout the year we ask questions of the most plugged-in Yankees fans and fans across the country. Sign up here to participate in the weekly emailed surveys. In last week’s Reacts survey results, Peter noted that Yankees fans seemed pessimistic about the […]
The New York Yankees have completed their first road trip of the 2026 season, and while it’s definitely too early to take any bit of data too seriously, these six games leave us with some important takeaways. The most important one is reflected in the standings, as the Yanks boast the best record in the […]
Well, that series against the Yankees exposed some of the lingering issues with the Mariners roster, as currently constructed. Left-handed pitching is going to be a huge problem for this extremely lefty-heavy lineup throughout the season, and there really isn’t much relief in sight — J.P. Crawford is back from his brief IL stint but […]
Art Ditmar’s career sits in a space that baseball history does not always spotlight. He was not the headline name on the Yankees teams he played for, but he fits perfectly into the fabric of Yankees history because he was part of one of the most competitive and talent-filled eras the organization has ever seen. […]
Thursdays can obviously be light days on the major league schedule, but this one was a particularly short slate. As far as relevance to the Yankees goes, the Blue Jays were set to take on the White Sox in Chicago’s home opener, but it was pushed back due to inclement weather. So, American League action […]
After a rollicking start to the year on the west coast, the Yankees head back home to host the Marlins for a three-game set in the Bronx. The team’s starting rotation has been particularly dominant, holding the Giants and Mariners to just two runs in 34 innings as they helped lead New York to a […]

The Yankees are taking the field in Yankee Stadium for the first time this year today, and they’ll do so with a strong 5-1 record to their name after excelling on their opening road trip. The Miami Marlins are the first team they’ll welcome to the Bronx, and while their record is an identical 5-1, […]
New York Post | Dan Martin: The Yankees created several questions with their offseason strategy to run it back with largely the same roster as last year, and their dominant first week of games has begun the process of moving the conversation away from those concerns. There were questions over how Ben Rice would hold […]
Among the most important positions around the diamond, there is a fair argument that catchers stand alone atop the list. Over their long history, the Yankees have been blessed with good backstops who can handle themselves with the gear and with the bat, with the likes of Bill Dickey, Yogi Berra, Elston Howard, Thurman Munson, […]
