Today on Pinstripe Alley – 5/24/26

We received a small blessing in not seeing the Yankees blowing another game yesterday, as they were rained out before it could even get underway. Now facing a two-game set with the postponed game pushed way out to September, they’ll look to lock down a split with Ryan Weathers on the mound (and ideally, the […]

Yankees news: Gerrit Cole gets ideal return start

FOX Sports | Deesha Thosar: Gerrit Cole made his triumphant return to the mound on Friday. After missing all of last season and the start of this one as he recovered from Tommy John surgery, the former Cy Young Award winner needed only 72 pitches to keep the AL-best Rays off the board through six […]

The Yankees All-May Birthday Team

Back in August, 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: Buck Showalter

Baseball history is full of managers who are famous for all sorts of reasons. Some are known for their unmatched success, others for their failures, and some for a particular moment or antics. Buck Showalter’s story is like that of most ballplayers. He never made it to the majors as a player and after his […]

Yankees rained out against Rays on Saturday

The Yankees will have to wait another day to snap out of their divisional funk. They dropped back-to-back contests against the Blue Jays earlier this week to end the four-game set at Yankee Stadium in disappointing fashion, and a slim 1-0 lead against the first-place Rays in Gerrit Cole’s long-awaited comeback from Tommy John surgery […]

Yankees Rivalry Roundup: A night teeming with great pitching

Not an ideal night. The Yankees’ main rival, at least in terms of the standings, won. Worse, they beat the Yankees. But hey, Gerrit Cole is back and looked great in his return. Unfortunately, he can’t do anything about a putrid Yankee offense. So on a pretty blah night of baseball, we have to take […]

Yankees and Rays take different avenues to success

Few saw this coming from the Tampa Bay Rays. They haven’t just given the Yankees a run for the money, but they sit atop the AL East standings, as well as the overall American League standings, as these two clubs square off for a weekend matchup in late May. Though both teams have gotten off […]

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. […]

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, […]

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 […]

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. […]

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 […]
