Today on Pinstripe Alley – 5/23/26
There were positives to come out of the first game between the Yankees and Rays, but they were overshadowed by another bullpen meltdown. This time, it was the ever-reliable Tim Hill suddenly combusting, the Yankees wasting a gem from Gerrit Cole in his first outing in a year and a half. It’s great to see […]
Yankees news: Get ready to learn some second base, Volpe!
MLB Trade Rumors | Anthony Franco: With José Caballero returning to action after a brief stint on the injured list with a fractured finger, the Yankees opted to keep Anthony Volpe around as insurance. Not just that, but manager Aaron Boone announced that he will start taking drills at second base to increase his versatility. […]
Yankees’ bullpen, defense melt down late to ruin Gerrit Cole’s comeback masterpiece
If this is how the Yankees put together a “Welcome Home” party, then count us out on the next invitation. New York dropped their third consecutive game to a division rival on Friday, losing a late 1-0 lead to fall 4-2 to the first-place Rays despite an impressive season debut from their ace, Gerrit Cole. […]
New York Yankees vs. Tampa Bay Rays: Gerrit Cole vs. Nick Martinez
The New York Yankees are 4.5 games behind the Tampa Bay Rays for the best record in both the AL East and the American League writ large. This weekend, they have a golden chance to cut down that deficit, facing them in a three-game series in the Bronx. New York split a four-game set with […]
Yankees Mailbag: A feast or famine offense
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. OLDY MOLDY asks: When was the last time a Yankees team carried one or more regular players batting under .200 into […]
Yankees Birthday of the Day: Tommy John
In the baseball canon, Tommy John’s name gets used with more frequency and gravity than almost any one else’s. Unlike some of the other cemented names in the game’s history, John’s recognition comes largely from reasons outside of his play. Now, this does make sense, given the importance of the surgery that bears his name, […]
Yankees Rivalry Roundup: Guardians grow their lead against last-place Tigers
Thursday was a lighter day on the Major League schedule, though the Yankees still had time to squeeze in a tough loss. The Bombers mustered just three hits at the plate and spoiled a solid Carlos Rodón start in their 2-0 loss at the hands of the Blue Jays. The loss locked in a split […]
New York Yankees vs. Tampa Bay Rays: Series Preview
Thursday saw the Yankees wrap up a four-game set against the Blue Jays with a loss, earning a series split. The last two games were especially frustrating, with the Yankees scoring just one total run between them. However, this would be a bad time for them to them to dwell on those woes. Now comes […]

Today on Pinstripe Alley – 5/22/26
The Yankees had a real chance to turn things around this week, pulling out a pair of dramatic wins to open up their four-gams series with the Blue Jays. But their offense laid an egg in the final two contests, scoring one run combined and having to settle for a split with Toronto. No matter, […]
Yankees news: New York sends down Spencer Jones, Yovanny Cruz
New York Post | Greg Joyce: After last night’s loss to the Blue Jays, the Yankees sent Yovanny Cruz and Spencer Jones down to Triple-A. The moves clear two spots on the active roster, which will be taken presumably by Gerrit Cole and José Caballero today. This would all but confirm that the Yankees will go […]
Yankees sleepwalk to shutout at against Blue Jays’ bullpen, settle for series split
The Yankees have been clearly salty about the way their 2025 season came to a close since the moment it happened. They strongly believed that their team was talented enough to win a championship, and to lose to the Blue Jays—first in the AL East race and then in the AL Division Series—was deeply disappointing. […]
New York Yankees vs. Toronto Blue Jays: Carlos Rodón vs. Braydon Fisher
Though the Yankees and Blue Jays remain 7.5 games apart in the AL East standings, the first three games of this four-game set between them have each been decided by a single run. Last night, the Yankees failed to support Cam Schlittler’s strong start as their nemesis Trey Yesavage dominated them again. Thanks to the […]
Paul Goldschmidt is showing he still has a lot to offer
The Yankees initially decided to bring in Paul Goldschmidt ahead of the 2025 campaign to be their first baseman. Throughout the first couple months, the signing was a coup, as he hit a scalding .338/.394/.495 with a 148 wRC+. Plenty of folks in the Yankees’ orbit thought that he had found the Fountain of Youth. […]
Ryan McMahon’s struggles are very real, and feature a new flavor of frustration
At the 2025 Trade Deadline, one of the Yankees’ primary acquisitions was for a defense-first third baseman. Ryan McMahon, who had spent the past nine seasons with the Colorado Rockies, was known as one of the game’s finest defenders at the hot corner, one that could hit enough to get by in the majors, culminating […]
Yankees Birthday of the Day: Andrew Miller
The New York Yankees know what it’s like to hold some of the league’s best relievers in its bullpen. Names like Goose Gossage, Sparky Lyle, Dave Righetti, and Mariano Rivera are the talk of the town for the Bombers of old, while Dellin Betances resonate with those in the modern era. But another reliever of […]
When a home run wasn’t a home run
On May 21, 1880, a strange thing happened in upstate New York. While playing at Riverside Park in Albany, Lip Pike — playing for the National Association team in Albany in between stints at the professional/semi-professional level — hit a fly ball over the fence in right field and into the nearby river. Outfielder Lon […]
Yankees Rivalry Roundup: Rays continue to pad division lead
The Yankees dropped the third game of their series against the Blue Jays, losing a narrow pitchers’ duel between Cam Schlittler and Trey Yesavage. Schlittler matched Yesavage zero for zero on the scoreboard until the seventh inning, when the hits finally poured over and loaded the bases before he walked one in and was pulled. […]
Yankees Sequence of the Week: Camilo Doval (5/19)
The last three games have been an adventure with the Yankees bullpen, and not a particularly fun one either. Yes, they secured the win in two out of three, but boy have David Bednar and Camilo Doval put Yankees fans through the wringer in the ninth inning against the Mets and the first two against […]
Yankees prospects: Jackson Lovich hits three homers, but farm goes winless
Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders: L, 1-13 at Lehigh Valley IronPigs — fell behind 7-0 after four and then a six-run eighth made the score silly SS George Lombard Jr. 1-5, 2B, 2 K, CS — 398 feet on the two-baggerRF Yanquiel Fernández 1-5, 2 K2B Marco Luciano 0-3, BBLF Oswaldo Cabrera 0-3, BB1B Seth Brown 1-4, […]
How should the Yankees’ lineup look if Trent Grisham needs to go on the IL?
It’s a tough time to be a Yankees outfielder, or in the case of Giancarlo Stanton, outfield-adjacent. The big guy has been out for almost a month now with a right calf strain that he’s (unsurprisingly) been slow to recover to from, and he hasn’t been cleared for the next step yet. Granted an opportunity […]
Yankees news: Caballero eyes Friday return, Volpe’s spot?
MLB.com | Mike Petriello: Aaron Judge, the greatest right-handed hitter of all time, has a chance to make history once more this year. Though his production thus far in 2026 hasn’t quite matched his play from the last few seasons, he’s on pace for 54 home runs, which would make the first hitter ever to […]
Yankees fall short to Blue Jays in pitchers’ duel on a long night in the Bronx
It was a good, ol’ fashioned pitchers’ duel in the Bronx on Wednesday night, one that we had to wait patiently for due to a lengthy rain delay. Two young, burgeoning aces who burst on the scene during last year’s postseason went toe-to-toe in a big midweek divisional matchup, and it lived up to the […]
Trent Grisham removed from Wednesday’s game with left knee discomfort
With Giancarlo Stanton and Jasson Domínguez already on the shelf after injuries suffered within the past month in two separate series against the Texas Rangers, the organization’s outfield depth is being stretched thin. Unfortunately, the hits kept on coming during Wednesday night’s game against the Blue Jays, following a two-hour rain delay. Center fielder Trent […]
New York Yankees vs. Toronto Blue Jays: Cam Schlittler vs. Trey Yesavage
The weather may not be bright, but the Yankees’ spirits are probably a little brighter after taking the first two games of this series against Toronto. They haven’t been pretty, but after the abysmal road trip New York suffered, back-to-back wins could be just the thing to jumpstart them back into high gear, and they […]
