Yankees news: Some thoughts about Spencer Jones
MLB.com | Bryan Hoch: Now in his third stint in the Major Leagues this season, Spencer Jones has begun to show some consistency at the plate, earning the praise of his teammates and coaches in the process. Cody Bellinger, who recently returned from the IL, called him “a freak athlete [and] a great defender” who […]
Ask Pinstripe Alley: Yankees mailbag questions request
The Yankees are hitting their stride at a crucial point of the season, cutting the deficit in the AL East race to just three games after sweeping Baltimore and taking two of three from Toronto. The offense that was so stagnant for much of the summer has been rejuvenated of late, thanks to a combo […]
Yankees to call up new bullpen addition Justin Topa, option Brendan Beck
In the wake of the Giancarlo Stanton and Ryan Weathers news from over the weekend, the Yankees are pivoting to take a minor gamble on one of their new additions. Joel Sherman reported on Monday that veteran right-hander Justin Topa is getting called up to the majors merely 10 days after signing a minor-league deal […]
Carlos Rodón’s sinker gives him a soft contact weapon
Welcome back to our series on the innovations the Yankees pitching department is making with the sinker! They’ve dusted off the pitch from a period of league-wide dormancy and have a renewed focus on disseminating it across as much of their pitching room as are willing to use it. In May, I kicked off the […]
Yankees Birthday of the Day: Brett Gardner
“If I was a coach, I’d be like, ‘This kid’s not going to cut it.’” So said Brett Gardner, thinking back on when he tried out for the baseball team at the College of Charleston. Perhaps because he could not hit the ball out of the infield. But in an archetypal underdog success story, Gardner […]
Yankees Rivalry Roundup: Tampa and Boston win; the AL remains a quagmire
The Yankees took care of business Sunday with an offensive explosion. Their win meant a series win over division rival Toronto, and it let them sit back and scoreboard watch to see how events would unfold across the American League. Alas, the two games that matter most to the Yankees had the worst possible outcomes. […]

Today on Pinstripe Alley – 8/24/26
The Yankees finally bid farewell to the Toronto Blue Jays for 2026 (barring something crazy going on in October), winning on Sunday to take the current series as well as the season series overall 7-6. The team is entering a bit of a hot streak after treading water through the start of the summer, winning […]
Yankees news: Jazz Chisholm Jr. looking like old self
MLB.com | Bryan Hoch: Over the past five games, Jazz Chisholm Jr. has started to look like his older self, displaying what Aaron Boone likes to refer to as “Jazz-ball.” While his 50/50 season goals are likely not happening with 32 games left in the season, the second baseman now says he only has one […]
Yankees Social Media Spotlight: Remembering Tommy John
It’s Sunday once more, and you know what that means — it’s time for our weekly social media roundup! Players’ Weekend, a big win streak, and good vibes fill out most of this week’s social media roundup, but we start with a bit of sad news, as we reflect on the passing of the legendary […]
Yankees pour it on late to win game, series over Blue Jays
You don’t need a copy of the Dickson Baseball Dictionary to define the dog days of August, you just had to watch today’s contest between the Blue Jays and Yankees. Like every game since the start of summer, it was a slog, but this one was a particular slog for the first two-thirds, with the […]
New York Yankees vs. Toronto Blue Jays: Carlos Rodón vs. José Soriano
The Yankees made it close yesterday, but as they say close only counts in horseshoes and hand grenades. Just three games behind the division-leading Rays, they don’t need to win every game, but they almost need to win nearly every series to chip away at that deficit. That means today’s rubber game with the Blue […]
Yankees send Ryan Weathers to IL, activate Cody Bellinger
The Yankees made a flurry of roster moves ahead of Sunday afternoon’s series finale against the Toronto Blue Jays, activating Cody Bellinger from the injured list, sending Ryan Weathers to the IL with a left forearm flexor strain, and recalling pitcher Brendan Beck from Triple-A Scranton. The return of Bellinger, who has been out since […]
Yankees Birthday of the Day: Ron Blomberg
When I first signed up to do Ron Blomberg’s birthday piece, I was excited to be able to tell the story of the first man to bat in Major League Baseball as a designated hitter. As I dove deeper into Blomberg’s life, I learned I had the privilege of writing a piece about a heck […]
Yankees Rivalry Roundup: Orioles beat Rays again with another late rally
One could argue that the Yankees’ loss yesterday was maybe the fourth- or fifth-most impactful bit of news from the day, but if we were to zero in on that? Yeah, that was annoying. They had a legitimate chance to steal a second Dylan Cease start for a win in the span of a week, […]
The report from Cody Bellinger’s rehab stint at Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre
MOOSIC, Pa. — Friday at Yankee Stadium was Cody Bellinger Bobblehead Night. While that was taking place, the real thing was at PNC Field in northeastern Pennsylvania in the second game of a rehab assignment with the Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders. Both games went well for Bellinger to the point where he is expected to come […]
Today on Pinstripe Alley – 8/23/26
Good news: Cody Bellinger is back today! Bad news: The Yankees’ winning streak was snapped, Ryan Weathers left with forearm tightness, and Giancarlo Stanton might be officially toast. So… 1-for-4? But call some of those non-hit ABs tough ones, like a double play with the bases loaded. Today on the site, Scott will have the […]

Yankees news: Cody Bellinger returns; other injury updates less promising
MLB.com | Bryan Hoch: Cody Bellinger is slated to return from the IL today. The outfielder had a short rehab stint at Scranton/Wilkes-Barre as he recovered from a Grade 2 left hamstring strain that’s kept him off the field since late July. “I’ve been wanting to get back for a while,” Bellinger said. “You always […]
Giancarlo Stanton and outrunning the sunset
It’s really something to see a true one-of-one. The first time it really stuck, it really happened to me, was Usain Bolt in 2008 in Beijing. With all due respect to what Michael Phelps did in those Olympics, there’s something primal about the 100m dash, something we’ve been doing as a species since Urk bragged […]
Blue Jays snap Yankees’ winning streak, Ryan Weathers exits with injury
The cruelty of the game of baseball was on full display on Saturday afternoon in the Bronx. The day began with the news that Giancarlo Stanton had injured his left calf, likely ending his season. Were that the only bad injury news of the day, the Yankees’ 4-3 loss to the Blue Jays would have […]
Yankees starter Ryan Weathers pulled from game with left forearm discomfort
By almost all measures, the Yankees’ decision to roll the dice this past offseason and trade for lefty starter Ryan Weathers has worked out like gangbusters. A talented arm that was once the seventh overall pick in the MLB Draft, Weathers had never thrown more than 95 big-league innings in a season despite debuting at […]
New York Yankees vs. Toronto Blue Jays: Ryan Weathers vs. Dylan Cease
Winning is nice. I like winning. Do you like winning? The Yankees have been winning. With a victory in the Bronx last night, the Bombers have clinched a winning week, and will have two opportunities to make it a perfect week. Meanwhile, the Orioles, whom they just swept, bounced back to beat the Rays for […]
Giancarlo Stanton suffers second calf strain, may miss remainder of season
The injuries have come in bunches for Giancarlo Stanton this season, and Saturday morning brought even more bad news for the veteran slugger. Stanton suffered a “moderate” left calf strain (not the right calf which he injured back in April, as Bryan Hoch reported) after falling while running. Although the Yankees don’t want to rule […]
