Yankees Social Media Spotlight: Mother’s Day reflections
It’s Sunday once more, and you know what that means — it’s time for our weekly social media roundup! The last time we met for this series, we honored the legendary John Sterling, sharing more than 30 posts from throughout the league celebrating the life and legacy of the broadcaster. As such, in addition to looking […]
David Bednar’s blown save leads to crushing Yankees loss in extras
Elmer Rodríguez has faced some seriously fierce competition in his first three MLB starts, squaring off against Nathan Eovaldi, Jacob deGrom, and today Freddy Peralta. He authored the best start of his young MLB career, holding the Mets to a run while pitching into the fifth to match the way Peralta was repeatedly silencing each […]
New York Yankees @ New York Mets: Elmer Rodríguez vs. Freddy Peralta
The Yankees are not playing their best baseball at the moment, winning just two of their last eight games to fall several games back of first. That three of those losses have come against a pair of struggling teams in the Orioles and Mets makes the Bombers’ deficiencies appear all the most glaring — and […]
Yankees Birthday of the Day: Carlos May
In August of 1969, Carlos May found himself laying in a hospital bed. Just weeks removed from appearing in his first All-Star Game, the burly outfielder was, by his own admission, feeling sorry for himself. That’s because he’d suffered a freak accident during a gunnery exercise while fulfilling his service obligations with the U.S. Marine […]
The live report from Gerrit Cole’s solid rehab start at Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre
MOOSIC — At PNC Field, home of the Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders, the pitch speed on the scoreboard rounds up. So when Gerrit Cole threw a four-seam fastball 99.6 mph in the top of the third inning of his latest rehab start Saturday night against the Syracuse Mets, “100” popped up on the board. Later, in […]
Yankees Rivalry Roundup: Blue Jays outlast Tigers, Marlins ambush Rays in extra innings
The Yankees were unable to maintain their momentum from the series opener, dropping the middle game by a score of 6-3 to the Mets. Carlos Rodón by his own admission continued to suffer from a lack of command, and the offense couldn’t produce the timely hit when they needed it most. Theirs was a relatively […]
Yankees prospects: Cole shines in latest rehab start
Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders: L, 2-6 (10) vs. Syracuse Mets SS George Lombard Jr. 0-5, 2 K — one hit in his last 24 at-bats, still working walks but definitely cooled offRF Yanquiel Fernández 1-52B Marco Luciano 1-5, 1 K3B-1B Oswaldo Cabrera 1-4DH Seth Brown 0-4, 2 K1B Ernesto Martinez Jr. 1-3, 1 R, 1 BB […]
Today on Pinstripe Alley – 5/17/26
Saturday was a frustrating day for the Yankees, who dropped the middle game of their series with the Mets thanks to some sloppy play. Thankfully mistakes have been few and far between for New York this year, a nice departure from the previous few seasons where their poor fundamentals were taken advantage of, but it […]
Yankees news: Bombers shuffle rotation, Cole sharp in rehab outing
CBS Sports: On Saturday, the Yankees made the decision to recall Elmer Rodríguez in light of putting Max Fried on the injured list. However, Rodríguez will also now be starting this afternoon’s game in place of Ryan Weathers. There’s no additional injury to Weathers to worry about, as he’s now penciled in to start Monday […]
Too many mistakes cost Yankees in loss to Mets
If you look at just some parts of the box score of this game with the runs stat blocked out, you might think the Yankees had come away with a win. They outhit the Mets, and they were fairly close in a lot of other stats. The issue for them is that they made several […]
New York Yankees @ New York Mets: Carlos Rodón vs. Huascar Brazobán
Friday night saw the Yankees and Mets renew the Subway Series for 2026, and it went pretty well for the Bronx half of the rivalry. Led by another good start from Cam Schlittler, the Yankees downed the Mets to take round one. However, it’s a new day, and the two teams will now face off […]
Yankees recall Elmer Rodríguez to take Max Fried’s rotation spot
Unwilling, and rightfully so, to rush Gerrit Cole’s return date to a big-league mound, the Yankees will look to their Triple-A roster to help fill the absence of the recently injured Max Fried. With their ace hitting the shelf due to a left elbow bone bruise, the Yankees will bring up starter Elmer Rodríguez to […]
Judge, Jones, Bellinger, and the tallest Yankees outfield of all time
Height is a curious thing. Sure, all else being equal, it’s better to be taller if you’re a baseball player, but particularly for position players, this maxim ceases to apply after a certain point. More body mass means it’s harder to have precise control over your movement. Longer levers usually lead to more strikeouts. It’s […]
Yankees Birthday of the Day: Billy Martin
For all of the mythical greats that litter the history of Yankees Baseball, there is also a healthy list of characters, people who may not have been legends, but who nonetheless who have defined the franchise’s path over more than a century. Near the top of that illustrious list for the Bombers stands Billy Martin. […]
Yankees Rivalry Roundup: Rays keep rolling, Astros nearly no-hit Rangers
After dropping five of six, the Yankees got back on track yesterday with a strong showing against the Mets at Citi Field. Cam Schlittler outdueled Clay Holmes, Jazz Chisholm Jr. and Spencer Jones had timely hits, and Ben Rice’s solo shot off Craig Kimbrel was the icing on the cake in a 5-2 win. It […]
The Yankees Reliever Confidence Index: May Edition
The Yankees’ bullpen has dealt with underperformance, bad luck, and a lack of clearly defined roles through mid-May. And yet, the unit ranks fifth in baseball in ERA. Aided by a starting rotation which has shouldered a lion’s share of the workload and overperformances by two little-heralded lefties, New York’s relievers have somehow managed to […]
Yankees prospects: Avina, Martin stay hot for Somerset
Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders: L, 8-2 vs. Syracuse Mets SS George Lombard Jr. 0-3, BB, K, SB3B Oswaldo Cabrera 2-4, 2 RBI, SB — showing real signs of getting it togetherRF Yanquiel Fernández 1-3, BB, K2B Marco Luciano 0-4, KLF Jonathan Ornelas 0-4, 2 K1B Seth Brown 0-4, 2 KC Ali Sánchez 0-3, BB, KDH Payton Henry 0-3, […]
Today on Pinstripe Alley — 5/16/26
The Yankees have been up and down the last week or so, but perhaps just what they need to get rolling again is a date with their crosstown rivals. The Bombers got this Subway Series started off nicely last night, Cam Schlittler shoving (what else is new?) in a straightforward 5-2 victory. They’ll look to […]
Yankees news: Fried to IL, but worst-case scenario avoided
MLB Trade Rumors | Steve Adams: Prior to yesterday’s game, the Yankees placed ace Max Fried on the 15-day injured list with a bone bruise in his left elbow. While, obviously, this isn’t great news, as Fried will not throw for a few weeks before being reevaluated, early indications seem to suggest that he has […]
Cam Schlittler shines, Yankees take down Mets in Subway Series opener
Cam Schlittler is really good at pitching a baseball. The young Yankees standout yet again refused to blink as he continued his domination of the major leagues in his sophomore season. Facing former Yankees closer Clay Holmes to open the 2026 edition of the Subway Series, Schlittler again gave the Yankees a solid performance. That […]
New York Yankees @ New York Mets: Cam Schlittler vs. Clay Holmes
The first Subway Series matchup of the season features a pitching duel that, a few years ago, would have sounded completely ridiculous. Currently the best starter on the Yankees staff, Cam Schlittler enters Friday night looking less like a youngster trying to stick in a rotation and more like a legitimate Cy Young contender, while […]
Yankees place Max Fried on IL with bone bruise on left elbow
As was expected after he exited his Wednesday start early in Baltimore, Max Fried is going on the IL with an elbow injury before the Yankees’ Subway Series showdown tonight against the Mets. The good news is that the southpaw, who underwent Tommy John surgery as a minor leaguer in 2014, appears to have dodged […]
Yankees Mailbag: Warren’s value and the NL’s strength
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. RememberBobbyMurcer asks: Should Boone consider giving more starts to Escarra given how poorly Wells is performing on offense at the 1/4 […]
If alternate jerseys are inevitable, the Yankees should steal the spotlight in Queens
A little over a month ago, while casually scrolling social media, I was hit with the Fanatics advertisement for the Yankees “Black Out Jersey” and I found myself scrambling to see if there was breaking news that the Yankees had announced an alternate jersey. To my satisfaction I found that this was not a new […]
The Subway Series having real juice again is good for baseball
It doesn’t take a true baseball expert to know that the Yankees and Mets, despite playing just seven miles apart, aren’t true rivals. After all, aside from the exhibition preseason “Mayor’s Trophy” games, they never met each other on a baseball diamond until June 1997 due to MLB’s relatively late introduction of interleague play. The […]
