Manager Aaron Boone commented on Stanton’s status, noting that they […]
The Yankees arrived in Houston with all the momentum and a six-game winning streak following a sweep of the now-skipperless Red Sox at Fenway. A couple days later, they’re eyeing yet another dusting of a rival on the road. Behind a poised start from Ryan Weathers and an offense that continues to “have liftoff,” the […]
The Yankees are rolling, and suddenly the offense looks awake again. After a brief April slowdown that had some fans uneasy, New York has responded with the type of outburst everyone had been waiting for. After feasting on the Royals in the Bronx, sweeping Boston at Fenway Park, and then opening the Houston series with […]

Back in August, I began a series here at Pinstripe Alley where I was going to put together an All-Star Yankee team of players who were born in a given month. Since then, we as a staff have started doing daily posts for the year 2026, highlighting a Yankee from history whose birthday happens to land on that […]
If I asked you to name a great single season from a player in Yankees’ history, you can probably come up with a few strong options. That player will probably also be a legend in franchise history. Feats like Joe DiMaggio’s 1941 with his 56-game hitting streak, Aaron Judge’s 62 homers in 2022, and Ron […]
The latest news on the Houston Astros and from around MLB: Some injury updates for the Astros: What’s behind Yordan’s smashing start?

The Yankees won their seventh straight game on Friday, demolishing the Astros to the tune of 12-4 thanks to the entirety of their infield hitting home runs.

Four weeks into the season, the Yankees are riding high with the best record in the American League. Despite several key starters beginning the year on the IL, their rotation has been excellent and, even with a weeklong swoon, New York’s offense has scored the fourth-most runs in the league. The biggest area of concern […]

Since splitting that strange four-game set with the Angels in the Mike Trout/Aaron Judge Show, the Yankees haven’t lost. They swept the Royals, shipped up to Boston and did the same to the Red Sox, and are now coming off a decisive win in Houston last night, their seventh in a row. The only bad […]
New York Post | Mark W. Sanchez: Among the many positives to come out of the Yankees’ sweep of the Red Sox was the first homer of the year from Jazz Chisholm Jr., who saw his OPS rise almost 60 points during the series. Chisholm credited a small mechanical tweak as a possible reason for […]
The Yanks entered Friday night fresh off a sweep of mortal enemy Boston, getting this road trip off to a heck of a start. They turned to Will Warren, coming off one of the finest outings of his career, to keep the momentum going. But the Astros offense is different than Kansas City’s. Yordan Alvarez […]
Giancarlo Stanton has been ravaged by injuries over the years, many of them to his lower body. During an otherwise-smashing Friday night in Houston for the Yankees, his old injury bug seemingly popped up yet again. With Stanton at second base, J.C. Escarra singled to left field, off the wall at Daikin Park. Stanton advanced […]

Fresh off a three-game sweep of Boston at Fenway Park, the Yankees begin the second series of this nine-game road trip. The opponent? Another rival club that is off to a rough start to 2026: the Houston Astros. Devastated by injuries to their pitching staff, the ‘Stros come into the series with a 10-16 record. […]

Remember to send in your questions for our weekly call by e-mail to pinstripealleyblog [at] gmail [dot] com. Cisforcookie asks: Is Grichuk the odd man out when Volpe returns with Rosario and Cabby both “able” to play in the […]
The Yankees drafted shortstop George Lombard Jr. in June 2023, back when he was an extremely toolsy but raw 18-year-old prospect. They chose ceiling over floor, something that they don’t always do, and so far, it’s hard to say they regret their choice. No, Lombard hasn’t made his MLB debut. He isn’t particularly close to […]
Carlos Beltrán only spent a small part near the end of his career with the Yankees. However, for as short as his tenure was, there was always something about him in pinstripes that felt natural. Maybe it was that he had been connected to the team before during his prior times on the free agent […]
The Yankees captured a good win on Thursday against the Red Sox. Cam Schlittler looked great once again, pitching eight innings, and a rally in the seventh on the backs of Cody Bellinger and Aaron Judge propelled them to victory.

The 2026 Red Sox season can’t continue as is, right? After a 9-16 start, the team finds itself seven games behind the New York Yankees after a three-game sweep in Boston this week. On Thursday night, Fenway Park felt alive again for the first six innings, as Payton Tolle struck out eleven Yankees and left […]
After a rivalry showdown in Fenway Park, the Yankees keep with the theme and head to another rival’s outpost in Houston. The Astros have had what can safely be described as a bad start to the 2026 season, despite a valiant effort from a Bondsian Yordan Alvarez. The Yankees will look to take advantage of […]
