Yankees news: Spencer Jones’ debut
MLB Trade Rumors | Darragh McDonald: The Yankees made the promotion of Spencer Jones official yesterday. The top prospect replaced Jasson Domínguez, who sprained his AC joint during Thursday’s game. Jones DH’d and batted sixth in his debut, going 0-for-2 with a walk against fireballer Jacob Misiorowski, who had little issue with the rest of […]
Jacob Misiorowski dominates Yankees, as Brewers blank Bombers
The big story for the Yankees going into Friday night’s matchup against the Brewers was the debut of Spencer Jones. The outfielder is a former first-round pick and has some intriguing tools, including massive power. However, we didn’t get to see any of that in his debut, because, unfortunately, other teams are allowed to have […]
New York Yankees @ Milwaukee Brewers: Max Fried vs. Jacob Misiorowski
On the scoreboard, Thursday’s series finale against the Rangers went quite well, as the Yankes won fairly comfortably, clinching another series win. However, the victory did include an injury to Jasson Domínguez, who has hit the IL after hurting his shoulder crashing into the left field while making a catch. Domínguez’s IL trip has led […]
Yankees Mailbag: Spencer Jones’ debut and bullpen musings
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: Do you have any ideas on who could be the back end of […]
Remembering the pre-Ben Rice era, Part 2: Voit’s brief reign, LeMahieu’s peak and fall, and the Rizzo years
Welcome, friends. I hope you brought popcorn and soda, because it’s time for Part 2 of my impromptu review of the Yankees’ first base situation before Ben Rice arrived on the scene. In Part 1, we covered the decline phase of Mark Teixeira and the tragic fate of Greg Bird, but ended on a high […]
Tim Hill is another bullpen bet the Yankees got right
This past offseason, many Yankees fans grew anxious as Cody Bellinger remained unsigned and the club’s only outside addition appeared to be Ryan Weathers. These were the days before the “run it back Yankees” became the reality surrounding the roster construction for 2026. Even after signing Bellinger and making a few additional moves, many felt […]
Yankees Birthday of the Day: Art López
Art López could always hit. Despite an injured throwing arm that limited his effectiveness in the outfield, a diminutive stature, and little fanfare, he played until the age of 36, winning championships in six different countries. A hit tool can carry a ballplayer quite a long way, and despite his brief MLB career, the man […]
Yankees Rivalry Roundup: Rays win in Fenway to keep pace
It was a busy day in Yankee land, as the Bombers won an early afternoon game against the Rangers, while also calling up one of the franchise’s more exciting prospects in Spencer Jones. It was an all around good win against Texas, as the Yanks were able to maintain their narrow lead in the East. […]
Yankees officially call up top outfield prospect Spencer Jones and reliever Kervin Castro
With outfielder Jasson Domínguez headed to the injured list after crashing into the outfield wall earlier this afternoon, the New York Yankees have opted to promote top prospect Spencer Jones, according to reports. Soon after, it was reported that, following the bullpen day, the Yankees were recalling Kervin Castro from the minors as well; he […]
New York Yankees vs. Milwaukee Brewers: Series Preview
The Yankees are on a roll. After a 6-1 homestand in which they mopped the floor with the Orioles and decisively took two of three from the Rangers (again), the Bombers boast an AL-best 26-12 record. Now, they’ll shove off for a nine-game road trip, beginning with a three-game set against the Brewers in Milwaukee. […]

Today on Pinstripe Alley — 5/8/26
After a minor blip on Wednesday night, the Yankees got back to their winning ways, bruising their way past the Rangers en route to a series win. I’m sure Wednesday’s limp offensive effort, which bled into a slow start to the game on Thursday, had some fans worried that the offense was about to head […]
Yankees news: Jasson Domínguez to the IL, Spencer Jones up
SNY | John Flanigan: Yankees outfielder Jasson Domínguez suffered a low-grade AC sprain in his left shoulder after crashing against the wall while making an impressive defensive play on Thursday. He tested negative for a concussion, but the shoulder injury sent him to the 10-day injured list anyway; they’ll continue to monitor for concussion symptoms […]
The inimitable magic of John Sterling
It’s still hard to believe that John Sterling is no longer with us. The longtime voice of the Yankees who died at age 87 this past Monday was, in my book, among the greatest broadcasters of all time. He brought unforgettable moments to life with his signature theatrical flair, delighting and entertaining generations of Yankees […]
Trent Grisham leads Yankees’ six-run sixth inning to clinch sixth-straight series win
Nothing about the Yankees’ terrific start to May has been guaranteed. The Bombers have routinely had to scratch and claw to stay ahead in ballgames—dodging poor fortune and injury scares to emerge out the other side with a hard-earned win. Today’s getaway day game against Texas was no different. Scheduled starter Ryan Weathers was out […]
Jasson Domínguez carted off field after collision with left field wall
Jasson Domínguez exited today’s game against the Rangers after a scary collision with the left field wall. Brandon Nimmo, Texas’ leadoff hitter, sent a line drive to left, which Domínguez caught before ramming into the wall. Domínguez immediately went to the ground and Aaron Boone and the team’s trainers quickly ran to the outfield. The left fielder was […]
New York Yankees vs. Texas Rangers: Paul Blackburn vs. MacKenzie Gore
It’s getaway day game time at the Stadium! The Yankees are up bright and early for a 12:35 pm start as they host the Rangers, seeking to win their sixth consecutive series. The Bombers outslugged Texas and handed a second loss to Jacob deGrom in the opener, before suffering a second defeat at the hands […]
Yankees call up rookie right-handed pitcher Brendan Beck
Prior to Thursday afternoon’s game against the Rangers, the Yankees called up right-handed pitcher Brendan Beck. The 27-year-old has been with Triple-A Scranton-Wilkes Barre all season, and will likely make his big-league debut against Texas. Across seven starts and 37 innings to this point in 2026, Beck’s results have been so-so. The righty has managed […]
Nearly the entire American League is within striking distance of each other
Very recently, I wrote an article here talking about the opportunity presented to the Yankees in 2026, competing for the top spot in an American League that lacked standout clubs. Some of their potential biggest adversaries were dealing with more than their fair share of issues in the Blue Jays and Mariners. Since then, the […]
Yankees Sequence of the Week: David Bednar (5/5)
The Yankees bullpen has stabilized somewhat of late, posting a sub-1.00 ERA in the month of May. A lot of this is driven by a left-on-base rate of around 90-percent, which is likely to regress from its unsustainably high point. All the same, leads have felt safer than in the first few weeks of the […]
Yankees Rivalry Roundup: Rays shut out Jays, pull half-game behind Yanks
The Yankees broke their five-game winning streak on Wednesday, their offense finally getting stopped as Yankee Killer Nathan Eovaldi dominated them once again. Their last two losses both came at his hands, as he tossed seven shutout innings in their series in Texas before going eight strong with just an Aaron Judge solo shot blemishing […]
Yankees prospects: Fernández, Martin enjoy multi-homer days
Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders: W, 9-7 (10) at Worcester Red Sox 3B George Lombard Jr. 1-3, 3 BB, KSS Anthony Volpe 0-6, K — had a nice Tuesday but an ugly follow-upCF Spencer Jones 1-5, 2B, BB, RBI, 2 KRF Yanquiel Fernández 4-5, 2B, 2 HR, 5 RBI, K — huge day for Yanquiel, and his […]
Which opposing pitcher is the greatest Yankee Killer?
A few weeks ago upon the news of Angels franchise icon Garret Anderson passing away, John wrote a tribute to him, saluting him as one of the great Yankee Killers of recent vintage. Although David Ortiz was far more famous, Yankees pitchers were also quite flummoxed by having to pitch to Garret. Now today, we’re […]
Yankees Birthday of the Day: Tom Zachary
A two-time World Series champion, “Old Tom” Zachary spent parts of three seasons in New York. In addition to playing for the Yankees, Zachary is tied to Yankees lore as the pitcher who gave up No. 60 to George Herman Ruth back in 1927. Being tied to the Babe is usually enough to keep you […]
Yankees news: Ryan Weathers scratched from Thursday start
SNY | Phillip Martinez: Some news broke late last night, with the Yankees scratching Ryan Weathers from this scheduled start this afternoon. Weathers was apparently dealing with a nasty stomach virus. “I pitched, then went home and pretty much threw my guts out for several hours,” the starter said. “I thought I just had food […]
