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 […]

The anatomy of the role player Yankee killer

Baseball is a game of repetition. You play 162 games over about six months, leaving very few days to catch your breath. Schedules are littered with long road trips, homestands, and stretches where you see a team several times in a short window due to travel schedules. We saw that recently, as the final six […]

Yankees Sequence of the Week: David Bednar (8/21)

The Yankees bullpen suffered a rare meltdown on Tuesday night, squandering multiple leads to fumble the series opener against the Astros, 9-7. That being said, the relief corps has been an unequivocal strength of the team during a summer light on offensive contributions, second in MLB in ERA (3.06) to help keep the team afloat […]

Yankees Birthday of the Day: Ed Herrmann

Born in sunny San Diego, Ed Herrmann had an 11-year career as a Major League Baseball player. One of those years, 1975, was spent backing up the great Thurman Munson as a member of the New York Yankees. Herrmann was a wall behind the plate and loved when runners tried to take a bag on […]

Justin Topa could be more than just a short-term fix for the Yankees

The Yankees are currently going through quite the injury crisis on their pitching staff. In the last few days, key arms such as Fernando Cruz and Ryan Weathers have gone down, not to mention Max Fried and Kervin Castro in early August. Fried is on the verge of returning, and Clarke Schmidt is getting closer, […]

Yankees prospects: Anthony Volpe homers in RailRiders win

Triple-A Scranton RailRiders: W, 7-1 at Worcester Red Sox 2B Anthony Volpe 1-4, HR, BB, RBI, SB — went back-to-back with Corona off former Yankees prospect Gage Ziehl; sixth homer at Triple-A in 25 games (his stat line is .221/.293/.462)RF Jasson Domínguez 1-4, 2B, BB, 2 KDH Mitch Garver 2-5, K — opt-out date is […]

How worried are you about the Yankees’ September bullpen?

There’s no need to reinvent the wheel, so what was it that I said about the Yankees’ bullpen yesterday morning before we knew of the latest roster moves? The Yankees’ bullpen deserves a lot of credit for exceeding expectations in 2026. There was plenty of eye-rolling in the offseason when it became clear that they […]

Yankees news: Fernando Cruz facing elbow surgery

MLB Trade Rumors | Anthony Franco: The Yankees will be without one of their most trust bullpen arms for at least a little while, as Fernando Cruz was placed on the 15-day IL with right elbow discomfort. That was part of a series of pregame moves yesterday that saw veteran arm Michael Fulmer sign a […]

Yankees send Fernando Cruz to IL, sign Michael Fulmer

The Yankees shook up their roster today, sending Fernando Cruz to the IL with right elbow discomfort and signing veteran Michael Fulmer to a major-league deal. They also recalled Elmer Rodríguez to start tonight’s game, and optioned Bradley Hanner to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre. The IL trip comes after a period of declining effectiveness for Cruz. The right-hander […]

Yankees’ decision looming about RailRiders’ Mitch Garver

In their quest to find a righthanded-hitting catcher, the New York Yankees signed Mitch Garver to a minor-league deal Aug. 7 after the veteran backstop was released by the Seattle Mariners. Garver, 35, went to Tampa and the Florida Complex League for six days, then joined the Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders on August 14th. He has […]

The Yankees and the drawbacks of an unbalanced lineup

As the New York Yankees start the week with a series against the Houston Astros, you probably noticed the continuation of a recent trend. That trend is that of four straight left-handed hitters at the top of the lineup: Trent Grisham, Ben Rice, Luis Garcia Jr., and Cody Bellinger. As much as the current numbers […]

Yankees Birthday of the Day: Jayson Nix

For fans born in the mid-to-late-90s, the mid-2010s represent the dark times of our Yankees fandom. Gone were the fan favorites Hideki Matsui, Nick Swisher, Curtis Granderson, and Johnny Damon. Father time had called an end to the legendary careers of Derek Jeter, Mariano Rivera, Andy Pettitte, and Alex Rodriguez. The injury bug had derailed […]

Yankees Rivalry Roundup: Tigers bite Rays back, Red Sox outlast Marlins on 11th-inning slam

The Yankees’ bullpen deserves a lot of credit for exceeding expectations in 2026. There was plenty of eye-rolling in the offseason when it became clear that they were going with pretty much the same bunch that ended 2026, minus Luke Weaver and Devin Williams. Minimal offseason improvements were made. And yes, there were absolutely misses. […]

What Mark Walter can teach us about class solidarity

It’s taken me a couple days to figure out what I want to say about Mark Walter, Guggenheim Baseball Management, and the ownership of the LA Dodgers. There’s plenty of people, including Jeff Passan, who have breakdowns of the facts and the allegations of the case. What we think we know is that Walter and […]

What should we expect when Aaron Judge returns?

A couple weeks ago, as the Yankees got decent injury news regarding their trio of injured sluggers, Aaron Judge, Cody Bellinger, and Giancarlo Stanton, I posed the question: what would Stanton in particular look like when returned? The idea was that among those recovering stars, Stanton was the player with the widest error bars. Anything, […]

Yankees news: Aaron Judge takes another step in the right direction

MLB.com | Bryan Hoch: The Yankees’ captain, Aaron Judge, is slowly working his way back from a rib fracture sustained in late April. He took a significant step towards returning in September on Tuesday, taking some swings against overhand pitching for the first time in months. He has been throwing at distances of 100 feet, […]

Rare bullpen meltdown dooms series-opening loss to the Astros

The Yankees’ offense had really struggled for more than two months, something that has held the team back from truly going on a run. They’ve still managed to win despite it, but that’s due to their outstanding pitching. An unheralded aspect of said pitching is the bullpen, which despite feeling incredibly shallow, has been one […]
