Babe Ruth is certainly the most famous trade/acquisition in Yankees’ history, probably in baseball history, and you could make the argument for in all of sports history. A big part of its fame relates to how much it almost immediately became a massive swindle, leading to the Red Sox being “cursed” for decades to come. […]
The Yankees offense keeps on rolling, scoring nine in a rout of the Orioles to make it 16 runs scored in the first two games of the series. The starting rotation also continues to shine, Will Warren and Ryan Weathers both giving up just one earned run to Baltimore respectively across play on Friday and […]
Pinstripe Alley readers are well accustomed to our traditional end-of-month check-ins around the other five divisions. With that in mind, we’ve decided to take this opportunity in early May to cover one specific aspect that stands out about the journeys of the Yankees’ adversaries in the AL East. It’s been a weird start to the […]
I’ve made this point before on Pinstripe Alley, but it’s never a bad time to bring it up: Boy, do I love a good, boring win. The Yankees have been getting quite a few of those lately, and that continued yesterday against the Orioles. The Bombers very casually roughed up Kyle Bradish, Ryan Weathers was […]
New York Daily News | Gary Phillips: Anthony Volpe’s rehab assignment will end today, and the Yankees will have to chose what to do with the former top prospect. He will either need to be activated and added to the MLB roster, or optioned to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre and begin his season for real in the […]
With Luis Gil back at Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre and Elmer Rodríguez not exactly dealing in his MLB debut, some of the muddied water around returning Yankee starters has begun to clear. Still, after Will Warren’s excellent outing last night in the win over Baltimore, Ryan Weathers is tasked with holding serve in his own start today, […]
The Orioles filled up the transaction board as they prepared for today’s game against the Yankees. Baltimore added fresh arms to the bullpen by activating Dietrich Enns and Nick Raquet. To make room, the O’s optioned Tyler Wells and designated Albert Suárez for assignment. Enns is back from the injured list after suffering a left-foot […]

There have only been a handful of games in which to judge anything done by Don Mattingly so far. There really isn’t any discernable difference between him and Rob Thomson on much of anything that either does, but one thing does sort of stick out – he’s not a fan of letting starters go too […]
Good morning Birdland, Sometimes it feels like the Orioles are in a free fall, and then you look at their 15-17 record and realize that things could be much worse. Yesterday was one of those days. Before their 7-2 loss to the Yankees on the Friday night, the Orioles got some bad injury news. Their […]
The New York Black Yankees were a Negro Leagues team that existed from 1931 to 1948. True to their name, they called Yankee Stadium home from 1940 onwards until their demise. They were not a particularly successful franchise, with a 258-497 overall record, but they count among their alumni such legends as Satchel Paige, Ted […]
Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders: W, 2-0 (7) and L, 3-8 (7) vs. Buffalo Bisons Game 1: SS George Lombard Jr. 2-3, 1 KCF Spencer Jones 2-3, 1 RBI, 2 SBRF Yanquiel Fernández 0-33B Oswaldo Cabrera 2-3, 1 2B, 1 R, 1 K1B Seth Brown 0-3, 1 KDH Ernesto Martinez Jr. 0-2, 1 RBIC Ali Sánchez 0-2, […]
The good times keep rolling in New York, as the Yankees returned to the Bronx and opened up their first series with the Orioles this year with a 7-2 victory. Will Warren was economical pitching into the seventh inning with just a single earned run against his name while picking up nine strikeouts, and the […]
SNY | John Flanigan: Ahead of Friday’s game, the Yankees got some good news, as the tests done on Jasson Domínguez’s elbow came back clean. There had been worry after he was hit on the elbow by a pitch in Wednesday’s game, leading to him exiting the game and undergoing X-rays and other tests. However, […]
Two early Yankees home runs dug the Orioles a hole they couldn’t fly out of, as the O’s dropped their series opener in the Bronx 7-2. As we’ve seen many times this season, a disastrous 2nd inning put the Orioles behind early and ruined the outing for Povich. With the game tied at 1-1, Povich […]
Spearheaded by a fantastic effort from Will Warren, the Yankees took early command of their first regular-season matchup against the Orioles in 2026, ultimately winning it 7-2. Specifically on Warren, seeing the front-level starters dominating is all well and good, but the built-in expectations may work against the excitement of it in certain instances. Although […]
Entering May, believe it or not, the Yankees will be playing only their third series of the 2026 season against a divisional rival. The Baltimore Orioles roll into town fresh off a series win against the Houston Astros that felt more like a par than a birdie, given how the Houston season has trended—not to […]
Where to watch: MASN/MASN+ Probable pitchers: LHP Cade Povich (1-0. 2.19 ERA, 7 K) vs. RHP Will Warren (3-0, 2.59 ERA, 37 K) After hovering around .500 for much of the season’s first month, the Orioles travel to the Bronx looking to make a statement against the AL East leaders. Per Baltimore Sun beat reporter […]

Brian Cashman was ready for a change. A 36-year-old Robin Ventura was showing signs of wear, slashing just .251/.344/.392. On a star-studded Yankees roster, his spot at third base seemed the most plausible position to upgrade. It just so happened that the Reds were in the midst of a fire sale and were looking to […]
The Bombers enjoyed a day off on Thursday, before kicking off a set with the Orioles at home this weekend. With an early slate of games taking up much of Thursday, there wasn’t much positive movement for the American League’s top teams. Between a split double header, grand slams and a tough Jays loss to […]
