Aaron Judge will not play in the Wild Card Series next week. The Yankees spent a good chunk of Monday laying cloud cover for the announcement that was all but confirmed Tuesday morning. Aaron Boone told us the superstar has a moderate grade — which is not a medical term — strain of his calf, […]
Yankees Birthday of the Day: Joba Chamberlain
The legend starts with the name. Born Justin Louis Heath, now legally Joba Chamberlain, Joba actually was picked up and assigned to him by his father after a cousin struggled to say the name of a different relative. Chamberlain’s father was born on and grew up on the Winnebago Reservation, giving him access to the […]
Yankees Rivalry Roundup: Guardians edge Red Sox to keep AL Central lead
After taking some dumb losses last week, the Yankees came into this week with absolutely no breathing room left in the AL East race. The Rays magic number was down to two, meaning any Tampa Bay victory in the four-game series this week would see them clinch the division in the Bronx. Looking to at […]
Reflections on 15 Years of the “Moneyball” movie
On this day fifteen years ago, Moneyball released in theaters in the United States. Starring Brad Pitt as Oakland A’s general manager Billy Beane, the movie was an adaptation of Michael Lewis’s 2003 book Moneyball: The Art of Winning an Unfair Game, telling the story of the 2002 Athletics as they bucked traditional baseball wisdom […]
What should the Yankees do with Carlos Rodón?
Leading off yesterday’s doubleheader, Carlos Rodón pitched like a man who had something to prove. In a way, he does. He may be asked to step aside if the club needs a three-man rotation for a potential Wild Card series next week, widely viewed as the fourth guy sitting outside the Yankees’ Big 3 in […]
Yankees news: Judge expected to miss first round
MLB Trade Rumors | Steve Adams: The Yankees do not expect Aaron Judge to be ready for the Wild Card round, manager Aaron Boone announced Tuesday. While not surprising given his exit from a game last week with a calf strain, Judge’s absence deals a blow to a squad that’s been without its captain for […]
Yankees lose nightcap, AL East race to Rays, officially clinching division
I’m sorry dear reader, that I don’t have much to say to you. After a high-wire act win earlier in the day, the Yankees did in fact go gently into that good night. They were overmatched by Rays starter Drew Rasmussen, and while the race for the division was functionally over after dropping two of […]
New York Yankees vs. Tampa Bay Rays: Max Fried vs. Drew Rasmussen
Earlier this afternoon, we saw the blueprint for what an Aaron Judge-less postseason run will have to look like: Incredible performance from the starter, good defense, and just enough hitting to get by. The Yankees will look to repeat that in the nightcap of today’s doubleheader, with a crackling starting pitcher matchup. Max Fried toes […]
Yankees win first game of doubleheader behind Carlos Rodón’s milestone performance
The chances are now paper thin after a series loss in Arizona, but if the Yankees are to have any shot of chasing down the Rays in the final week of the season, they absolutely must sweep this four-game series. That required a dominant performance from Carlos Rodón facing one of the AL’s best starters […]
New York Yankees vs. Tampa Bay Rays: Carlos Rodón vs. Nick Martinez
This four-game tilt against the Rays in the penultimate series of the season had the chance to be a blockbuster showdown to decide the division. However, the Yankees losing two out of three to the Diamondbacks removed a lot of the jeopardy from this series, New York now needing to sweep just to avoid being […]
Jazz Chisholm Jr. to be activated from IL
Aaron Boone shared a more positive update on Jazz Chisholm Jr. ahead of the series opener against the Rays on Tuesday. The Yankees infielder was activated ahead of the second game of the doubleheader against Tampa Bay. Chisholm initially landed on the injured list approximately two weeks ago with a right thumb sprain. To open […]
Aaron Judge to miss Wild Card Series with moderate grade calf strain
Aaron Boone met with the media to shed some light on Judge’s injury status ahead of Tuesday’s doubleheader against the Rays. Boone revealed that he suffered a moderate grade right calf strain that landed him on the 10-day injured list, and the Yankees captain received a PPP (platelet-poor plasma) injection as treatment during Monday’s off […]
Yankees At-Bat of the Week: George Lombard Jr. (9/20)
Unfortunately, the Yankees effectively pissed away whatever slim chance they had to catch the Rays in the division by losing two out of three to the Diamondbacks, the pitching staff wobbling uncharacteristically in the desert. It was at least encouraging to see the offense mostly carry their weight in the wake of Aaron Judge’s placement […]
Should the Yankees use Cam Schlittler in Game 1 or 2 of the Wild Card Series?
The New York Yankees have punched their ticket to the 2026 MLB Playoffs and, barring a late surprise, will face the Boston Red Sox in the AL Wild Card Series with all games being played in Yankee Stadium. There are legitimate questions surrounding the Yanks’ offense and bullpen, but their rotation appears to be in […]
Yankees Birthday of the Day: Urban Shocker
If you were to make a lineup of the all-time best Yankees based solely on having fun names, Urban Shocker would have a strong argument to be the starting pitcher, however he was also much more than that. While his best years didn’t come in the Bronx, Shocker was a very good MLB pitcher, including […]
Yankees prospects: Week 26 minor league recap
That’s all, folks. We’ve reached the end of the road for the 2026 minor league season. The Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders officially concluded things on Saturday, which also served as a retirement for the RailRiders (shoutout Clint Frazier). Tampa was unfortunately not able to bring some gold back home, losing in Game 3 of the FSL Championship […]
Yankees Rivalry Roundup: Alonso powers O’s as Jays stumble in Wild Card chase
For the last few months, this space has featured the Rays heavily, given there was real intrigue about whether they or the Yankees would end up with the AL East title. Tampa slipped ahead of the Yankees in the division early in the season, but they never got too far afield, and as the season […]
What do the Yankees need to see in the last week?
The regular season is coming to a close, and there’s just two series left in the regular season for the Yankees to play — the Rays and the Orioles are coming into town for four and three games, respectively. There’s still technically something to play for as the Yankees are, for the moment, alive in […]
Yankees news: Sweep or weep
MLB.com | Bryan Hoch, Adam Berry: The long and winding season is coming to a close, and the Yankees find themselves six games back of the Rays with just seven games remaining. The good news is that four of those remaining games will be against those Rays in the Bronx starting from Tuesday, giving the […]
Ask Pinstripe Alley: Yankees mailbag questions request
We’re nearly there folks. The Yankees have just seven games left in the regular season, with only the thinnest of hopes at the division title left. The Rays will eliminate the Yankees from AL East contention with a combinationwin and a Yankees loss, and with the four-game set between the two about to kick off […]
Spencer Jones is earning his spot on the postseason roster
Spencer Jones is finally gaining some momentum at the plate and earning his spot on the postseason roster after making some needed adjustments. Who does he have to thank, you might ask? Aaron Judge’s hitting coach, perhaps. Jones, whose height and build are very similar to the Yankees captain, first met with Judge’s hitting coach, […]
New York Yankees vs. Tampa Bay Rays: Series Preview
So it all comes down to this? After the Yankees dropped the last two games of their series against the Diamondbacks in the desert, the math is at least simple for the Yankees in their last-ditch Hail Mary: win all four games to flip the season series with the Rays to 7–6 in their favor, […]
Yankees Birthday of the Day: Cecil Fielder
On August 22nd, during a divisional game between the Yankees and Blue Jays the YES Network invited to the booth a special guest: the retired slugger Cecil Fielder. Fielder had history with both franchises—he debuted as a member of the Blue Jays, and then later in his career came aboard with the Yankees after becoming […]
Yankees are finalizing a deal to add private equity ownership in the mix
Multiple reports confirm that the Yankees are finalizing a $2.6 billion deal with private equity firm Apollo Global Management to sell up to a 16-percent stake in the franchise. The firm will have the Yankees’ largest ownership percentage, only behind the Steinbrenner family, once the deal goes through. The deal involves both a debt and […]
What to watch for in the final week of American League play
The Tampa Bay Rays, the New York Yankees, and the Boston Red Sox have all punched their ticket to the postseason. With the final week of the 2026 MLB regular season already upon us, several other American League squads are playing for a place in October, too. Even the Rays and Yankees technically have to […]
