New York Yankees @ The Athletics: Carlos Rodón vs. Luis Severino
After an up-and-down homestand, the Yankees opened this week with a quite successful series in Kansas City against the Royals. Now, it’s time for them to go even further west as they take on the Athletics in West Sacramento. The A’s come into this series just half a game back in the AL West standings, […]
Yankees Mailbag: Strange standings and All-Star odds
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. The idiot that said, “Harper is coming” asks: Did you have only five teams at or above .500 in the American […]
Who’s the next breakout Yankees prospect?
As much as some people seem to deny it, the Yankees’ player development has taken tremendous strides over the last several years and is generating value all throughout the 20 rounds that the team gets in each year’s MLB Draft. Every year, there’s a new prospect that seemingly comes out of nowhere to shoot up […]
Examining Austin Wells’ frustrating season at the plate
Heading into the 2026 campaign, we all knew who Austin Wells was as a hitter. His wRC+ ranged between 94 and 107 every season from 2023 to 2025, and he developed 20-homer power last year with a .436 slugging percentage. He racked up 3.5 fWAR in 2024 and earned a 3.0 mark last campaign. He […]
Yankees Birthday of the Day: George McQuinn
The 1947 World Series between the New York Yankees and Brooklyn Dodgers was littered with talent. The biggest name (for more reasons than just his incredible abilities on the baseball diamond) was Jackie Robinson. But there were also the people who some modern-day baseball fans might simply know from the movie 42 based on Robinson’s […]
Yankees Rivalry Roundup: Jays sneak past the Orioles
Following a much-needed sweep of the Kansas City Royals, the Yankees enjoyed an off day on Thursday. They next head further west to take on the Athletics, who are very much in the American League’s playoff picture. The first place Rays were also off the schedule, though there were still games of note to take […]
New York Yankees vs. The Athletics: Series Preview
Somewhat of a big deal has been made of the fact that the Yankees have built up their solid record so far mostly on the back of below .500 teams. That leaves them somewhat in an interesting conundrum this weekend. This weekend the Yankees will face the Athletics, who come in at 27-29. A Yankees’ […]
Yankees prospects: Core Jackson’s two-homer night propels Renegades

Today on Pinstripe Alley – 5/29/26
After a well-earned day off, the Yankees have their final series of May in front of them with a trip to Sacramento to visit the Athletics. The not-yet-Vegas A’s were the first team to take a series against New York way back in the first week of April, as they took two of three in […]
Yankees news: Owners propose salary cap and floor
ESPN | Jesse Rogers: One day after the MLB Players’ Association offered a soft cap and a substantial increase of the minimum salary, among other things, the owners came up with the first firm cap offer since the 1994 strike. Per the league’s offer, each organization would need to keep a minimum payroll of $171.2 […]
The Yankees Rotation Depth Inventory: May
With Gerrit Cole and Carlos Rodón back in the Yankees’ rotation, a staff that began the year in flux (and excelled despite it) is beginning to settle in. Still, with Max Fried a ways off from returning, the odds that the team will need to dip into its depth at Triple-A, either for a spot […]
Unpacking David Bednar’s slow start
When the Yankees acquired David Bednar from the Pittsburgh Pirates at last season’s Trade Deadline, he almost immediately stabilized the back end of the bullpen. After his first disastrous appearance with the team against the Marlins in early August, he allowed just 4 runs in 23 innings, striking out 33 and walking only 9, as […]
Yankees Birthday of the Day: Bob Kuzava
Bob “Sarge” Kuzava was a left-handed pitcher who found success with the New York Yankees during a career in the majors that lasted a decade and saw him suit up for eight different teams. Kuzava, pronounced koo-ZAH-vuh, was born and raised in Wyandotte, Michigan, a town about 15 miles outside Detroit that now features a […]
Yankees Rivalry Roundup: O’s complete sweep of Rays with blowout win
Once upon a time, Kansas City was effectively the farm team of the Yankees despite being a fellow major league franchise. They were the Athletics back then, but flash forward to modern times and Kansas City felt like a home away from home as the Yankees demolished the Royals. After sweeping them to open up […]
Yankees Sequence of the Week: Gerrit Cole (5/22)
After 569 days that must have felt like an eternity to one of the most competitive players in the league, Gerrit Cole made his long-awaited return to an MLB mound. He may not have gotten the result for the team that he wanted, the bullpen giving up four runs after he departed. But he pitched […]
Today on Pinstripe Alley – 5/28/26
There’s nothing like the good feelings after a sweep. Gerrit Cole was even more impressive than in his first start post-Tommy John surgery and the game never felt particularly close. The Yankees really took it to the Royals this week in Kansas City, running up their personal winning streak against them to 14 since they […]
Yankees prospects: George Lombard Jr. hits first Triple-A homer
Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders: L, 1-8 vs. Worcester Red Sox SS George Lombard Jr. 1-2, HR, 2 BB, RBI — Took until his 24th game, but he led it off with his first homer at Triple-A on the first pitch! The 363-foot shot went off his bat at 103.1 mph. It was all downhill from there for […]
Yankees news: Giancarlo Stanton, Jasson Domínguez ready to take next steps in rehab
New York Post | Greg Joyce: The results from imaging taken on Giancarlo Stanton Tuesday showed enough progress to give him the green light to begin running again. Per Aaron Boone, he’s seeing “a lot of improvement” and, given the fact that he’s continued taking swings while on the IL, he might be able to return […]
Gerrit Cole dominates as Yankees sweep Royals
The Yankees kept it rolling over the Royals, making it 14 straight overall against Kansas City while sweeping the season series. Behind a vintage Gerrit Cole performance and a huge night from Ben Rice, the Yankees came away with a 7-0 victory over the Royals. If Tuesday night was about fireworks, Wednesday night was about […]
New York Yankees @ Kansas City Royals: Gerrit Cole vs. Noah Cameron
It’s alive! The Yankees’ offense finally erupted Tuesday night and the result was absolutely beautiful. New York launched six home runs, every starter recorded at least two hits (a first in franchise history), and the Yankees buried Kansas City early in a historic offensive explosion. The Bombers reached base 29 times on 24 hits and […]
Big series for RailRiders’ Fernández earns him weekly award
Yanquiel Fernández of the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders enjoyed quite a week in Allentown, Pa. During the team’s six-game series against the rival Lehigh Valley IronPigs, the outfielder had at least one hit in each game and batted .379 (11 for 29). Four of his hits were home runs. He had 12 RBIs, five runs and one stolen […]
Keeping things in perspective with Jazz Chisholm Jr.
Coming into the 2026 season, it felt like this was the year that Jazz Chisholm Jr. would leap into superstardom. After a tantalizing 2024 that saw him post 2.3 WAR with the Yankees in just 46 games, he posted a 30-30 season to go with a 126 wRC+ in 2025, solidifying his status as one […]
Yankees Birthday of the Day: Mark Connor
The most successful players in the world aren’t only successful because of their innate abilities. Sure, some of those who walk this planet can naturally throw a ball harder than others, but being able to throw a ball hard and honing the craft enough to make it to the major league level are two very […]
Yankees Rivalry Roundup: Basallo’s blast downs Rays
Even in the games they ended up winning, the Yankees haven’t had a ton of relaxed games recently, but that’s what they had Tuesday night against the Royals. Led by an Amed Rosario home run, the Yankees jumped out to a quick 4-0 lead in the first inning and kept the offense going from there. […]
I stare Cerberus in the face, and it sparks joy
I started writing this six hours before Cam Bump Day, the day once a week or so that’s circled on the calendar because Cam Schlittler is pitching today. He is right now the second-best pitcher in baseball by one tenth of a win according to FanGraphs, a distinction so miniscule that it really doesn’t apply, […]
