New York Yankees vs. Baltimore Orioles: Ryan Yarbrough vs. Brandon Young
After CC Sabathia’s No. 52 retirement ceremony and a rather forgettable Game 1 of Friday’s doubleheader, the New York Yankees will take the field again and face the Baltimore Orioles in the nightcap. The Bombers already know that they will host the Boston Red Sox in the Wild Card round, and the O’s are already […]
Yankees flop after CC Sabathia ceremony, lose to Orioles
With nothing left to play for on either side, the Yankees vs. Orioles series opener was somewhat overshadowed with the number retirement ceremony for CC Sabathia that took place before the game. The expected bad weather tomorrow forced a doubleheader today and moved the ceremony up to this afternoon as well. The short notice change […]
How to watch Yankees vs. Red Sox in AL Wild Card Series: Start times, channels, and more
The MLB postseason is finally upon us, and the No. 4 seed Yankees are kicking things off by facing the Red Sox in the Wild Card Series, just as they did in 2025. New York will end the season at least four games better than Boston, but as they say, all records reset to 0-0 […]
New York Yankees vs. Baltimore Orioles: Brendan Beck vs. Trevor Rogers
Expected inclement weather of Saturday led to the Yankees and Orioles moving around their weekend regular season finale and playing two games today on Friday. Today’s opener will feature the CC Sabathia number retirement ceremony that was originally set for tomorrow. After that pomp and circumstance, the Yankees and O’s will get their three game […]
Aaron Judge has the second-highest selling MLB jersey
To some, 99 is just a number. To others, it identifies one of the most well-known Major League Baseball players in 2026. Aaron Judge’s jersey, sporting No. 99, is the MLB’s second-most popular jersey this year, only behind Shohei Ohtani of the Los Angeles Dodgers. Since Opening Day back in late March, Judge’s jersey sales […]
Yankees Mailbag: Finalizing the playoff bullpen and speculating on third base
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. yankinBAMA asks: If Jones gets to 15 home runs and 50+ RBI, any shot at ROY? It’s been a more […]
Yankees Birthday of the Day: Phil Rizzuto
How do you define a legend like Phil Rizzuto? A kid from Brooklyn. A speedy, slick-fielding shortstop. An American League MVP. A seven-time World Series champion. A sailor in the United States Navy. The radio and television voice of the New York Yankees. The namesake for the Staten Island Yankees mascots. All of these descriptions […]
Yankees Rivalry Roundup: Guardians shut out Red Sox to clinch postseason berth
Despite getting eliminated from the AL East title race on Tuesday, the Yankees have to feel good about taking three out of four from the Rays. Concluding with the comeback victory to cap off the series win on Thursday, the Yankees now have a tangible piece of positive reinforcement that they can beat Tampa Bay […]
New York Yankees vs. Baltimore Orioles: Series Preview
The Yankees will go into this weekend’s regular season-ending series against the Orioles with nothing to play for standings-wise. The Rays beat them to the the AL East title during their series earlier this week, but the Yankees clinched the top AL Wild Card spot themselves. No matter how this weekend plays out, the Bombers […]
Today on Pinstripe Alley – 9/25/26
The final series of the regular season is here, but it’s going to look a little wacky. A nor’easter coming through over the weekend has prompted MLB to reschedule Saturday’s game pre-emptively into a single-admission doubleheader today. There’s nothing to play for on either side as the Yankees are going to the postseason as the […]
Yankees news: Let’s play two
MLB.com | Bryan Hoch: In case you missed it, last evening the New York Yankees announced that, due to the impending bad weather, this weekend’s series against the Baltimore Orioles has been rearranged. Saturday’s game has been “pre-poned” to this afternoon, serving as Game 1 of a single admission double header. CC Sabathia’s enshrinement in […]
Yankees erase a four-run deficit to beat the Rays in final regular season rumble
Another day, another George Lombard Jr. home run. The big one tonight was a pivotal go-ahead two-run shot to lead the way on a Yankees comeback win over the Rays by a score of 6-4. And it was no cheapie, going all the way out to the second deck in left field, 400 feet away. […]
Yankees to play Orioles in doubleheader Friday, Saturday game cancelled
There’s going to be some nasty weather in New York this weekend, and the Yankees have done their best to try and get ahead of it. Saturday’s showdown with the Orioles will instead be played on Friday, in a traditional single-admission doubleheader. Game one will kick off at 4:05pm Eastern time, with the highly-anticipated twin […]
New York Yankees vs. Tampa Bay Rays: Cam Schlittler vs. Ian Seymour
Team results over individual accolades is not even a discussion to be had most of the time, but specifically in a game like this, I’d be remiss not to state the importance of the latter. Since the start of the 21st century, a total of three qualified Yankees pitchers have delivered a qualified season with […]
Yankees place Clarke Schmidt back on IL, will miss Wild Card Series
Injuries continue to plague the Yankees as they head into the final few games of the regular season, and this time the bullpen takes a hit. The Yankees announced that reliever Clarke Schmidt was sent to the 15-day injured list with bicep neuritis, which means he will likely be left out of the postseason roster […]
Despite team’s rebrand, Clint Frazier will always be a ‘RailRider for Life’
It began as a joke. Clint Frazier was commenting on his frequent shuttling between the New York Yankees and Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre that he proclaimed himself a “RailRider for Life.” Funny thing, though. The moniker stuck, and Frazier still embraces it to this day. “I think it started around the time I got optioned to the […]
Yankees Sequence of the Week: Carlos Rodón (9/22)
The Yankees were officially eliminated from the AL East title race by the Rays’ win in the second game of the doubleheader on Tuesday. They managed to temporarily stave off elimination thanks to a dominant performance by Carlos Rodón in the first game of the day’s twin billing. With eight scoreless innings, he equalled his […]
Yankees Birthday of the Day: Eric Soderholm
A New Yorker by birth, Eric Soderholm was a right-handed third baseman who played nine seasons in the majors. Spending his final season in pinstripes, Soderholm’s calm and thoughtful personality was not indicative of the state of the team at the time, as George Steinbrenner was at the height of his rule and the other […]
Even without Aaron Judge, the Yankees can still be class of the AL
Over the past two seasons, Carlos Rodón has been one of the best pitchers in baseball. After winning 18 games and finishing sixth in Cy Young voting in an All-Star 2025, he’s been even better when healthy this year, posting a 2.67 ERA that would be fourth-best in the AL if he had enough innings […]
Yankees Rivalry Roundup: Blue Jays eliminated after doubleheader sweep
The Yankees handled Tampa Bay for the second time in as many days, blowing them out 9-2 behind a pair of Ben Rice home runs as well as a Ryan McMahon grand slam. Of course, there was another game played in between that didn’t go New York’s way, but overall they’ve had a solid series […]
Should the Yankees activate a recovering Aaron Judge in the playoffs?
I do feel a little bad for Ben Rice and Ryan McMahon. Yes, Tuesday’s nightcap rendered yesterday’s Yankees/Rays game largely irrelevant, but these guys are still playing for pride out there. Rice zoomed into a tie for the American League lead in homers, joining a trio of others at 41, and McMahon showed signs of […]
Yankees news: Aaron Judge planning Wild Card Series return
ESPN | Jorge Castillo: From the man himself! Aaron Judge spoke on the record with ESPN ahead of last night’s game and said he intends to be in the lineup for next week’s Wild Card Series, and in the postgame, he sounded displeased with manager Aaron Boone describing his calf strain as “moderate.” For whatever […]
Homer-happy Yankees sting Rays in blowout win
Scoring the bulk of their runs early on, the Yankees out-slugged the Rays in a 9-2 win, one that helped Gerrit Cole move above .500 with his tenth win of the season. However outdated that stat is to evaluate an individual performance, Cole certainly appreciates making it eight of eight winning seasons since leaving the […]
Yankees front office makes an appearance on ‘Survivor’
If you decide to wander your eyes during a potential lull in Wednesday night’s matchup against the Rays, or if you want to kill some time waiting for the Yankees to appear in the upcoming Wild Card Series, you might find a fun surprise if you change the channel to CBS. Yankees Assistant Director of […]
New York Yankees vs. Tampa Bay Rays: Gerrit Cole vs. Mason Englert
This late in the season and with no team goal to strive for other than to gain positive momentum heading into the postseason, it’s about the little things for these two division rivals. For this particular Wednesday matchup, the biggest little thing is to follow Gerrit Cole’s work on the mound — especially in how […]
