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 […]
Yankees Rivalry Roundup: Rays are on the verge of AL East clinch
The weird marathon/sprint that is the baseball season approaches its end. And there is still unfinished business. The Rays, Yankees, and Red Sox have all clinched playoff berths. and Tampa Bay is on the cusp of locking down the AL East, as soon as Tuesday should they beat the Bombers. The AL Central and AL […]
Today on Pinstripe Alley – 9/21/26
Expectations were fairly in check for the Yankees during this last regular season road trip of 2026, and they still didn’t meet them. They started it off well enough but then dropped three of four—including two maddening walk-off losses—to finish it at 3-3. If they were just treading water until October, they’d be fine enough, […]
Yankees news: Trent Grisham might not return until playoffs
New York Post | Greg Joyce On September 4th, Yankees outfielder Trent Grisham suffered what was later deemed a Grade 2 right hamstring strain. He was placed on the injured list the following day and was considered unlikely to return before the end of the regular season. That remains the case, both because he isn’t […]
Nolan Arenado grand slam sinks Yankees on road trip finale of regular season
Contrary to popular belief, I actually think the Yankees have done decently well for themselves considering the brutal injury luck they’ve had this year, especially since their abbreviated “June swoon” ended in early July. Outside of a dreadful 4-14 stretch, they’ve routinely played .600 ball, something that would either easily win or be extremely competitive […]
New York Yankees @ Arizona Diamondbacks: Will Warren vs. Corbin Burnes
The final road game of the 2026 regular season is upon us, as the Yankees will conclude it with a seven-game homestand before likely hosting the Red Sox for the Wild Card Series. If the season ends there, this is the end of the line for the gray uniforms for 2026, but obviously, we all […]
Yankees Social Media Spotlight: Merry Clinchmas
It’s Sunday once more, and you know what that means — it’s time for our weekly social media roundup! This weekend has been yet another veritable whirlwind in the Bronx, as the team celebrated a postseason appearance, bid farewell to a fan favorite, closed an era of minor league baseball, and watched as their Captain hit […]
Position player Edinson Duran gets victory for Scranton/Wilkes-Barre in RailRiders’ last ride
Eliminated earlier Saturday from the International League second-half race when the Rochester Red Wings defeated the Buffalo Bisons, it would have been easy for the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders to call it a season — especially when they fell behind the Jacksonville Jumbo Shrimp by four runs in the second inning. Instead, they battled back to tie […]
Yankees Birthday of the Day: Tom Tresh
Although a familiar name to scholars of Yankees history (for lack of a better term), Tom Tresh did not have a long big-league career due to injuries and treatment of the time. Nonetheless, he was among the Bombers’ finest players of the 1960s and one of the last gasps of greatness from their vaunted farm […]
Yankees prospects: Scranton walks it off but eliminated from playoff contention
Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders: W, 6-5 (10) vs. Jacksonville Jumbo Shrimp A thrilling win, but a victory by the Rochester Red Wings left the RailRiders two games back with one to play. Today would have been the Yankees’ 2026 minor-league finale, but they got rained out. Thanks for following along with us all year! Arizona Fall […]
Today on Pinstripe Alley – 9/20/26
The Yankees continue to sit in what feels a bit like baseball purgatory. Their loss yesterday pushed them five back of the Rays, as it looks like they’ll have to resign themselves to another Wild Card Series despite running the second-best record in the American League. They’ve played good baseball but have been unable to […]
Yankees news: Spencer Jones joins the walking wounded
New York Post | Greg Joyce: The Yankees cannot afford any more additions to their M*A*S*H unit. Unfortunately, at least for Saturday, there is another. Spencer Jones, who’s been outstanding at the plate lately, was out of the starting lineup Saturday with a sore foot. For his part, Jones did not seem worried and attributed […]
Yankees lose to Diamondbacks in walk-off fashion
One would figure that with Cam Schlittler going on Saturday night, this would be the game for the Yankees to win if they had any hope for a last-ditch AL East comeback, but something about Arizona wore down the likely Cy Young Award winner tonight. The Snakes were pesky, annoying, and other terms my editors […]
New York Yankees @ Arizona Diamondbacks: Cam Schlittler vs. Brandon Pfaadt
Last night was a good night for the Yankees, seeing the team put up five runs in the first paired with a good Gerrit Cole outing to cruise to a 9-2 win over the Diamondbacks. The club also picked up a game on the Rays as the AL East leaders dropped the opener of their […]
On the business of analytics
Last weekend marked the beginning of the 2026-2027 NFL season, and with it came a number of new and interesting narratives to watch out for over the next few weeks. Was Week 1’s offensive outburst a fluke, or are we in for a year of no defense, just vibes? Will the Kansas City Chiefs kickstart […]
Yankees Birthday of the Day: Bob Turley
In the mid-’50s, Major League Baseball introduced a couple of new awards to honor exemplary performance. The Cy Young Award recognized the best pitcher in baseball (later expanded as separate awards for each league). The World Series MVP recognized the player who had the biggest impact on each year’s Fall Classic. Since that time, six […]
Yankees Rivalry Roundup: Red Sox snap Rays winning streak
About halfway through the Yankees’ nightcap in Arizona, news trickled through that the Red Sox had snapped the Rays’ six-game winning streak. That ratcheted up the pressure on the Yankees to beat the Diamondbacks and narrow the gap in the division to four games. They did just that, routing the D-Backs, 9-2, to stay alive […]
Yankees prospects: Kloffenstein steps up with six shutout innings
Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders: W, 8-5 vs. Jacksonville Jumbo Shrimp — mathematically still alive, per the Scranton Times-Tribune, but not by much; they would need to win their last two games while Indianapolis and Rochester both drop their final two (before tiebreakers factor in) DH Jarred Kelenic 1-5, 2 K, 1 SBRF Jasson Domínguez 0-5, 2 […]
Today on Pinstripe Alley – 9/19/26
Friday did not start off great for the Yankees, as news broke that Aaron Judge would indeed be going on the IL for a calf strain he suffered in the middle of Wednesday’s finale against the Twins. Judge was pulled from that game in the sixth inning and at the time it was unclear if […]
Yankees news: Judge back on shelf
MLB Trade Rumors | Darragh McDonald: Well, it was nice while it lasted. The Yankees announced yesterday evening that they will be placing right fielder Aaron Judge on the ten-day injured list with a calf strain today; Max Schuemann is expected to be the corresponding move. Since it will be backdated to the 16th, Judge […]
Yankees ride five-run first to series-opening romp of Diamondbacks
The two starting pitchers entered this game trending in opposite directions. Gerrit Cole had just allowed the most home runs (seven) in a two-start span in his career, while Eduardo Rodriguez is in the midst of a career year with a 2.62 ERA. One of those trends remained — Cole giving up another home run […]
