New York Yankees vs. Boston Red Sox: Max Fried vs. Alec Gamboa
On Friday night, the Yankees came away with a win over the Red Sox despite not getting much in the way of offense. That was because they got a stellar start from Cam Schlittler and some big time defense from the likes of Cody Bellinger. In Saturday afternoon’s game, they still didn’t get much offense, […]
Yankees offense a no-show in losing first half of Red Sox doubleheader
What a miserable afternoon. The Yankees’ so-called lefty specialist lineup looked like they were swinging pool noodles, the team defense was terrible, and the squad in general looked like they forgot they had a game at 1:05pm. It should surprise nobody then when you combine those three qualities, you tend to lose, this time by […]
Yankees fans predict that Jazz Chisholm Jr. will return to form down the stretch
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. Earlier this week, we polled Yankees fans about their thoughts on a quartet of slumping Yanks: second baseman Jazz Chisholm Jr., catcher Austin Wells, outfielder […]
New York Yankees vs. Boston Red Sox: Carlos Rodón vs. Jake Bennett
A 1-0 win is as nailbiting as it gets, but it’s still a win. The Yankees took the first round of this big four-game series last night, setting them up well for a good weekend. Hopefully they can do it in a less-stressful way, with two games against the Red Sox today and sending lefties […]
Yankees call up Brendan Beck for doubleheader, Max Fried to start Game 2
The New York Yankees, fresh off a close 1-0 victory over the Boston Red Sox in Friday’s opener, are going to play two games against their archrivals on Saturday, which means they had to make some moves to finalize their roster ahead of the twin bill. The team announced that 27-year-old right-hander Brendan Beck is […]
The Yankees All-August Birthday Team
Several months back, I began a series here at Pinstripe Alley where I was going to put together an All-Star Yankee team of players who were born in a given month. Since then, we as a staff have started doing daily posts for the year 2026, highlighting a Yankee from history whose birthday happens to land on that […]
Yankees Birthday of the Day: George Zeber
Some ballplayers have signature achievements in Major League Baseball, milestones or moments that endure as part of their legacy. For some, making it to the big leagues in the first place is the mountaintop. George Zeber’s path to the Yankees was a circuitous one laden with setbacks and championed by a future Hall of Fame […]
Yankees Rivalry Roundup: Rays pounce on Padres errors, Blue Jays stomp Mariners
The Yankees’ offense was up to its old tricks on Friday, mustering a mere solo shot by Paul Goldschmidt and three hits in total against the middling Patrick Sandoval and the Red Sox bullpen. They even had extra chances granted due to four walks, but still never came up with the big hit when runners […]
Rethinking the MLB Playoff Format
If you’ve checked the standings anytime recently, you’ve probably noticed the Yankees sitting a couple games back of the Rays in both the AL East and the Junior Circuit in general. The exact number they’ve been behind has gone back and forth, but they still haven’t been able to completely erase the deficit. Meanwhile, thanks […]

Today on Pinstripe Alley – 8/29/26
Not everything has to be a nailbiter! But that’s what last night became, as the Yankees’ pitching staff had to settle for merely a Paul Goldschmidt solo shot of support and go from there. Cam Schlittler, Brent Headrick, Paul Blackburn, and David Bednar made it hold up, enabled by a huge outfield assist from Cody […]
Yankees news: Max Fried set to return tonight against Red Sox
MLB Trade Rumors | Connor Byrne: When the Yankees placed pitcher Max Fried on the IL, the starter hoped he would only end up missing the minimum amount of time. Well, Saturday will mark 15 days, and the team will indeed activate Fried today! They confirmed the news yesterday, and in the postgame, they clarified […]
Yankees win with the bare minimum behind brilliant pitching, a familiar territory
How many scoring chances can two teams accumulate without actually driving in runs? The Yankees and Red Sox played a game hellbent on figuring that out. In the end, one timely homer from Paul Goldschmidt was enough to supplement the effort from Cam Schlittler, the Yankees’ bullpen, and left fielder Cody Bellinger to earn a […]
New York Yankees vs. Boston Red Sox: Cam Schlittler vs. Patrick Sandoval
The concept of a must-win game in the regular season is a flawed one 99.9 percent of the time. Acknowledging that, the context of this series opener against the Red Sox has enough sticking points for it not to be treated as just another game. Facing a team that seemingly came out of nowhere to […]
Yankees Mailbag: Bullpen fatigue and salary cap concerns
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. Actionthrill asks: As one of the highest spending teams in baseball do you think the Yankees want a salary cap in […]
Spencer Jones is making it happen, one way or another
Entering the 2026 season, FanGraphs had Spencer Jones ranked as the seventh-best prospect in the Yankees organization. The big left-hander made his Major League debut in the beginning of May, and has stuck around in the Majors since his recall in the first week of June. While he was obviously not the top prospect, he […]
My Farewell to Pinstripe Alley
Everything started with an email. On July 26, 2022, just a couple of months after graduating from high school, an 18-year-old who had already been rejected for a position once before decided to try his luck one more time. He pressed send as his heart raced and fingers twitched with excitement and nervousness. Twenty-four hours […]
Yankees Birthday of the Day: Ron Guidry
Ron Guidry. “Louisiana Lightning.” For Yankees fans of a certain age, there is a good chance he was their guy. He broke into the bigs at age 24 in 1975, but it wasn’t until two years later that he locked down a spot in the Yankees rotation. From there, he went on an absolute tear, […]
Yankees Rivalry Roundup: Blue Jays and Orioles take losses
After a couple decent outings from the offense in the first two games against the Astros (even if one game still ended in a defeat), the Yankees’ lineup was back up to their old tricks in the finale on Thursday night. The Yankees mustered just one run on five hits, as they failed to do […]
New York Yankees vs. Boston Red Sox: Series Preview
Welcome to rivalry weekend. The Yankees will take on the Red Sox in the Bronx after dropping two of three to the Astros. After scoring 16 runs in the first two games of the series the bats only got a single run in the finale. On the other side, Boston has been rolling since the […]

Today on Pinstripe Alley – 8/28/26
After scoring 16 runs across two nights, it seemed like the Yankees offense had finally figured it out, but they turned in another flat performance to drop the series against Houston last night. It’s not what you want, not with Gerrit Cole looking sharp again, though Cole was again victimized, a high fly from Christian […]
Yankees news: Aaron Judge plans to skip rehab stint
New York Post | Mark W. Sanchez: Aaron Judge is angling to skip a minor-league rehab assignment altogether in his recovery from a fractured rib. “Why waste at-bats? Why waste anything down in a minor league game?” said the Yankees captain. “I’ve been doing this for a while now, and I got a sense of […]
Astros roll over Yankees, take series in Bronx
I wish there were fewer of these games this year. They’re not fun to talk about, you kind of just want to get the bones down into our CMS and be done with it. If I could, I would keep this extremely snappy because there’s just not that much to say. The Yankee offense stunk […]
New York Yankees vs. Houston Astros: Gerrit Cole vs. Hayden Wesneski
The Yankees have actually looked pretty good — bullpen aside — in this series against the Astros, and again if not for that bullpen should probably be playing for the sweep tonight. Still, a series win over a division leader is never something to turn down, and that’s exactly what New York has the chance […]
