Yankees, Twins in rain delay on Friday night

The Yankees are in the midst of trying to stop a seven-game losing streak with the Twins in town to begin a three-game series. Minnesota took a quick lead off Gerrit Cole thanks to a solo shot by Kody Clemens, but Yankees leadoff hitter Trent Grisham welcomed himself back from the IL by belting a […]

New York Yankees vs. Minnesota Twins: Gerrit Cole vs. Mike Paredes

Here’s a good test of whether or not the sky is falling on the New York Yankees: Can they beat the Twins in a series? If yes, they’ll probably be fine. That likely comes across as a bit mean-spirited, but you all know just how one-sided the head-to-head matchups have been. Since the turn of […]

Yankees Mailbag: Aiming for a deadline makeover

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. torturedsoulv1 asks: How many relievers do you think the Yankees need? How many do you think they will actually trade for? […]

New York Yankees vs. Minnesota Twins: Series Preview

Just about everything that can go wrong lately for the Yankees has. Losing games? Well, obviously. Injuries? Unfortunately, yes. Offense going cold? You know it. Pitchers who’ve been having good years having unexpected off days? That too. Defensive lapses? Duh. However over the years, there’s always been one thing that can help the Yankees get […]

The Yankees’ top defensive plays of June

The month of June did not wrap up the way the Yankees had envisioned, dropping nearly a game per day to wrap up the calendar page. Despite some adversity, no month goes by without a highlight with the bat or some leather. June was no different, as multiple Yankees did their part in preventing runs […]

Yankees Sequence of the Week: Yovanny Cruz (6/30)

There’s really no way to sugarcoat the way the Yankees are playing right now. The offense is impotent, the starting pitching has been suspect, and the defense unacceptable. It’s all added up to a season-high seven-game losing streak and a plummeting from 3.5 games up in the standings to four games behind the Rays for […]

Yankees Birthday of the Day: Brian Cashman

George Steinbrenner was many things. Above all, he was passionate. Passionate about his Yankees and, according to those who knew him as a Thoroughbred owner, equally passionate about horse racing. So it was no surprise that when he met a horse breeder and future Harness Racing Hall of Famer named John Cashman, the two hit […]

Yankees fans have concerns about Gerrit Cole’s form

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. It has not been a good time to be a New York Yankee of late. […]

Yankees Triple-A manager Shelley Duncan thinks Carlos Lagrange injury is “nothing alarming”

Among a flurry of moves the New York Yankees made Thursday involving the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders, one jumped off the page: Right-handed pitcher Carlos Lagrange placed on the seven-day injured list. Lagrange is the Yankees’ No. 4-ranked prospect according to MLB Pipeline. He has spent the last month transitioning from the starting rotation to the bullpen […]

Yankees Rivalry Roundup: Rays extend winning streak to eight

After running their losing streak to seven games on Wednesday, the Yankees, and us frankly, got some respite on Thursday with an off day. Of course, something still ended up going wrong yesterday, but they at least didn’t put up another tally in the loss column. While the Yankees weren’t in action yesterday, other teams […]

Yankees prospects: ERC works quality start to secure win

Today on Pinstripe Alley – 7/3/26

The Yankees ended June on as terrible a run as they could’ve, and now sit in a seven-game losing streak as they limp into the weekend. Perhaps the off-day will have rejuvenated them, or perhaps their next opponent will as the Twins roll into town. Even their perpetual punching bag across the 21st century may […]

Yankees news: Carlos Lagrange hits IL with shoulder injury

The Athletic | Chris Kirschner: June was a rough month for the Yankees, and July isn’t off to a good start, either. On Thursday, news broke that flamethrowing prospect Carlos Lagrange was placed on the 7-day injured list in Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre with a reported shoulder issue. The level of concern is high enough for the […]

Every day, Pinstripe Alley offers updates on what the Yankees’ top American League opponents are up to through the Rivalry Roundup.

Yankees Birthday of the Day: José Canseco

José Canseco is probably one of the most famous baseball players of recent times. While he had success in the major leagues, winning several awards and two championships, said fame is probably infamy more than anything else. He was always a bit of a character and his revelations about PED use, both by him and […]

Yankees Rivalry Roundup: Junior Caminero must be stopped

What has transpired in the last week or so, in terms of American League East baseball, cannot happen again. After play concluded on Wednesday, the Yankees had turned in seven consecutive losses, while the Rays won seven consecutive contests, flipping the standings completely. What was a 3.5 game division lead at the start of this […]

Yankees potential trade partner: Los Angeles Angels

The more things change, the more they stay the same. Yet again, the Los Angeles Angels boast one of the greatest baseball talents of the generation, Mike Trout. Once again, that same Mike Trout finds himself limited due to injuries, even as he puts together his best season since 2022. Once again, the Angels failed […]

Today on Pinstripe Alley – 7/2/26

The Yankees are agony right now. They flirted with winning yesterday, going so far as to look as though they were about to snatch victory from the jaws of defeat, erasing a 2-0 ninth-inning deficit against the Tigers. Instead, they welcomed defeat like an old friend yet again, the seventh-consecutive game that they’ve done so. […]

Yankees news: Judge calls out “lack of focus”

New York Daily News | Gary Phillips: The Yankees’ sidelined captain delivered a pointed analysis of the team’s recent performance in his absence. “Well, it’s not great,” Aaron Judge said said before Wednesday’s game. “Just a little lack of focus. We just gotta dial it in.” His public comments, the first since he landed on […]

Yankees collapse, rally, collapse again as Tigers sweep

For a moment, we had hope. The Yankees came back in the bottom of the ninth inning, showing exactly the kind of fight and fire that has been so absent over the last week. They closed a two-run deficit in genuinely exciting fashion. Then the floor fell out from under them, they lost their seventh […]
