Latest news and updates about the Yankees
New York Daily News | Gary Phillips: A lot of news came out regarding Cam Schlittler’s “I have arrived” start in last year’s Wild Card Series. Now, though, we found out what he credits his success to: a good night of sleep. The righty has been tracking his sleep through WHOOP technology and said the […]
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. Spring training is all about two things: staying healthy and staying optimistic. There’s nothing that […]
The Yankees faced an unconventional opponent at George M. Steinbrenner Field today: the Panamanian national team. With the World Baseball Classic on the horizon, the majority of the tournament’s participants played against MLB teams in exhibition contests today. This was one of the more lopsided results: the Yankees had little trouble scoring against Panama’s pitching […]
The World Baseball Classic is almost upon us. As the international tournament gets ready to upstage spring training, their teams will play in exhibition games against MLB teams today and tomorrow before the Classic begins later in the week. The Yankees will host Team Panama this afternoon at Steinbrenner Field. Unfortunately, it doesn’t appear this […]
Baseball produces plenty of Hall of Famers whose glory and stat lines fade with time. Sayings, however, tend to stick around, passed down from generation to generation like prized baseball cards. “Keep your eye on the ball!” Most fans recognize the phrase. Far fewer know it came from Willie Keeler, a Hall of Fame outfielder […]
It’s really hard not to get excited about Cam Schlittler. His 2025 was a season of dreams, seeing the young right-hander start the year with Double-A Trenton, and ending it with one of the best playoff starts in the history of the entire Yankee franchise. In a year without Gerrit Cole, the Yankees kind of […]
The leadup to the World Baseball Classic is nearly at its apex, with group play beginning later this week. The Yankees, for their part as a team, will play an exhibition game later today against the Panama team that will be participating in Pool A. But more notably for some of their individual players, they’ll […]
MLB.com | Jim Callis: MLB Pipeline has released its list of the Yankees’ top 30 prospects for 2026 and George Lombard Jr. retains his spot as their No. 1 prospect. The shortstop drafted 26th overall in the 2023 MLB Draft reached Double-A as a 20 year old in 2025 and has impressed this spring, going […]
We’re in the full swing of spring training now, and the few roster spots that the Yankees have up for grabs have some good competition going on. Their retooled bullpen has several names that could make the roster or see themselves outrighted to Triple-A Scranton to start the year, as guys like Brent Headrick and […]
Not all ballplayers need to be well-rounded in order to find success. Sometimes, one skill is enough to keep them in demand. That’s the case for Amed Rosario, who’s played for six teams over the last three seasons alone for one simple season: the man hits lefties. 2025 Stats (with Nationals and Yankees): 191 PA, .276/.309/.436, […]
For the first time since the spring training Grapefruit League slate began on February 20th, the New York Yankees will not play a baseball game today. Since we don’t have new Statcast data and game film to analyze, that makes today the perfect opportunity to kickstart what is, in my opinion, the best preseason series […]
The beauty of our daily birthday series is that it goes to every corner of Yankees history. True figures in American history, relievers with a couple of years in the mid-’90s, and in this case, one-hit wonders. Miguel Andujar had a thunderous start to his MLB career with the “Baby Bombers,” but quickly fizzled out […]
The Yankees, knock on wood, have seemingly done OK with injuries early on in camp. Often, when players report to spring training, there’s a deluge of injury news as injuries that occurred during the offseason come to light, such as Francisco Lindor’s wrist injury or Anthony Santander’s shoulder ailment. They’ve had very small scares thus […]
It’s Sunday once more, and you know what that means — it’s time for our weekly social media roundup! As of this morning, Opening Day is officially this month, and the World Baseball Classic this week. What have the Bombers been up to this week? Let’s find out! Congratulations, CC! This past Wednesday, the Yankees […]
Both the Yankees and Phillies ran out partial lineups in Sunday’s afternoon action, with many players on both sides gearing up for action in this year’s World Baseball Classic. Despite that fact, it was a relatively tight game, that moved quickly end-to-end, featuring plenty of good pitching on both sides and promise for their starters, […]
Sure, there is another loss in the ledger for the Phillies, one that will likely be forgotten in due time. We’re still gettin the good Bryson Stott right now, something to keep an eye on once the games actually begin to mean something. But today, this was the day to talk about Andrew Painter. This […]
Now in the heart of spring training, the Yankees head to Clearwater for their 10th exhibition game of the year, this one against the Phillies. It’s been a strong start for the Bombers, as they’ve gone 7-2 thus far in their Grapefruit League play, and will look to continue the solid stretch with Will Warren […]
The Grapefruit League schedule continues on Sunday with the Yankees visiting Clearwater. But there will be considerably less star power on hand, as several prominent players like Bryce Harper, Kyle Schwarber, and Brad Keller have departed for World Baseball Classic competition. But the game shouldn’t lack for interest as it will feature the 2026 debut […]
More than a decade ago, the Yankees signed a 16-year-old Venezuelan shortstop as part of their international free agent class. He was by no means the biggest name in it, nor did he receive the most money from the Yanks in that class. Half a decade later, he debuted with the Yankees and had an […]
Playing in the American League East is the worst. It’s an absolute gauntlet every year, with 2026 looking to be no exception. That’s at least in part due to the quality of the starting pitching. The Red Sox have one of the better groups in the division, if not Major League Baseball. I’ll give Boston […]
Organizational depth and a quality bench could be connected, but they don’t necessarily mean the same thing. The Yankees have an option in Jasson Domínguez who, for all the reservations some of us may have, most teams would be perfectly willing to hand him the reins and at least try to maintain a starting gig. […]

The spotlight on the Yankees’ roster is expected to shine on a number of faces: Aaron Judge as the reigning back-to-back AL MVP, Ben Rice as the promising young star joining the roster, Cody Bellinger as the newest owner of a big contract from this offseason. The list goes on and on. But one name […]
MLB.com | Bryan Hoch: Brian Cashman spoke to reporters before yesterday’s game against the Blue Jays, and he reiterated his belief in this team, stating that they’re “capable of great things.” He pointed to the electrifying stuff many of their pitchers have shown early in camp, from Ryan Weathers touching 99.8 mph, to young prospects […]
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. Gary_Lambert asks: Is Jazz under or overrated? Jazz Chisholm Jr. certainly made his mark last season, putting up a 30/30 campaign […]
