Today on Pinstripe Alley – 4/26/26

The Yankees are rolling again, having won eight games in a row, and they stand in position to sweep another one of their long-term rivals from this era. The Astros may be down on their luck, having lost most of their pitching staff to injury and falling down to the bottom of the AL West, […]

Yankees news: Stanton day-to-day as team monitors calf injury

NY Daily News | Gary Phillips: Giancarlo Stanton left Friday’s game in the middle of the sixth inning after feeling tightness in his right calf while running the bases, and the team had an update on his condition ahead of their Saturday victory over Houston. Manager Aaron Boone commented on Stanton’s status, noting that they […]

Yankees win eighth consecutive game with three homers in Houston

The Yankees arrived in Houston with all the momentum and a six-game winning streak following a sweep of the now-skipperless Red Sox at Fenway. A couple days later, they’re eyeing yet another dusting of a rival on the road. Behind a poised start from Ryan Weathers and an offense that continues to “have liftoff,” the […]

New York Yankees @ Houston Astros: Ryan Weathers vs. Mike Burrows

The Yankees are rolling, and suddenly the offense looks awake again. After a brief April slowdown that had some fans uneasy, New York has responded with the type of outburst everyone had been waiting for. After feasting on the Royals in the Bronx, sweeping Boston at Fenway Park, and then opening the Houston series with […]

Yankees’ Triple-A RailRiders displaying gritty, come-from-behind attitude

This year’s Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders are a team that keeps battling until the final out, and it is quickly becoming their M.O. Seven of their 13 wins through the first 24 games have occurred when the club was trailing at some point in the contest. There was April 4th in Rochester, when seventh-inning solo shots by […]

The Yankees All-April 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: Russ Ford

If I asked you to name a great single season from a player in Yankees’ history, you can probably come up with a few strong options. That player will probably also be a legend in franchise history. Feats like Joe DiMaggio’s 1941 with his 56-game hitting streak, Aaron Judge’s 62 homers in 2022, and Ron […]

Yankees Rivalry Roundup: Orioles bombard Red Sox with homers

The Yankees won their seventh straight game on Friday, demolishing the Astros to the tune of 12-4 thanks to the entirety of their infield hitting home runs. The win came with a cost, as Giancarlo Stanton left in the sixth inning after appearing to aggravate something in his leg while running the bases, but the […]

The Yankees Reliever Confidence Index: April Edition

Four weeks into the season, the Yankees are riding high with the best record in the American League. Despite several key starters beginning the year on the IL, their rotation has been excellent and, even with a weeklong swoon, New York’s offense has scored the fourth-most runs in the league. The biggest area of concern […]

Yankees prospects: Carlos Rodón sparkles in rehab start at High-A Hudson Valley

Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders: W, 4-3 (10) vs. Rochester Red Wings — Scranton only had four hits to Rochester’s 11, but they made ’em count and walked off the Red Wings SS Anthony Volpe 0-4, 2 K — third rehab appearance SS Jonathan Ornelas 0-0LF Jasson Domínguez 0-4, KCF Spencer Jones 0-3, BBRF Yanquiel Fernández 2-4, K […]

Today on Pinstripe Alley – 4/25/26

Since splitting that strange four-game set with the Angels in the Mike Trout/Aaron Judge Show, the Yankees haven’t lost. They swept the Royals, shipped up to Boston and did the same to the Red Sox, and are now coming off a decisive win in Houston last night, their seventh in a row. The only bad […]

Yankees news: Jazz Chisholm Jr. makes the adjustment

New York Post | Mark W. Sanchez: Among the many positives to come out of the Yankees’ sweep of the Red Sox was the first homer of the year from Jazz Chisholm Jr., who saw his OPS rise almost 60 points during the series. Chisholm credited a small mechanical tweak as a possible reason for […]

Giancarlo Stanton pulled from Friday’s game with calf injury

Giancarlo Stanton has been ravaged by injuries over the years, many of them to his lower body. During an otherwise-smashing Friday night in Houston for the Yankees, his old injury bug seemingly popped up yet again. With Stanton at second base, J.C. Escarra singled to left field, off the wall at Daikin Park. Stanton advanced […]

New York Yankees @ Houston Astros: Will Warren vs. Lance McCullers Jr.

Fresh off a three-game sweep of Boston at Fenway Park, the Yankees begin the second series of this nine-game road trip. The opponent? Another rival club that is off to a rough start to 2026: the Houston Astros. Devastated by injuries to their pitching staff, the ‘Stros come into the series with a 10-16 record. […]

Yankees Mailbag: Backup breaking points and early standings

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. Cisforcookie asks: Is Grichuk the odd man out when Volpe returns with Rosario and Cabby both “able” to play in the […]

MLB keeps getting rule changes right

When I first started writing here about a decade ago, the biggest gripe we had with the institution that is MLB is how scared they were to make changes. Replay review had been instituted but in comparison to the other Big Four leagues, baseball seemed unwilling to challenge the century-old traditions that enveloped it, even […]

George Lombard Jr. is looking comfortable in the high minors

The Yankees drafted shortstop George Lombard Jr. in June 2023, back when he was an extremely toolsy but raw 18-year-old prospect. They chose ceiling over floor, something that they don’t always do, and so far, it’s hard to say they regret their choice. No, Lombard hasn’t made his MLB debut. He isn’t particularly close to […]

Yankees Birthday of the Day: Carlos Beltrán

Carlos Beltrán only spent a small part near the end of his career with the Yankees. However, for as short as his tenure was, there was always something about him in pinstripes that felt natural. Maybe it was that he had been connected to the team before during his prior times on the free agent […]

Yankees Rivalry Roundup: Tigers walk it off on Torkelson homer

The Yankees captured a good win on Thursday against the Red Sox. Cam Schlittler looked great once again, pitching eight innings, and a rally in the seventh on the backs of Cody Bellinger and Aaron Judge propelled them to victory. Although the schedule was light around the American League, there were still a couple of […]

New York Yankees vs. Houston Astros: Series Preview

After a rivalry showdown in Fenway Park, the Yankees keep with the theme and head to another rival’s outpost in Houston. The Astros have had what can safely be described as a bad start to the 2026 season, despite a valiant effort from a Bondsian Yordan Alvarez. The Yankees will look to take advantage of […]

Today on Pinstripe Alley – 4/24/26

Is there anything better than a sweep in Boston? The Yankees kept the good times rolling yesterday, rallying late to support Cam Schlittler, who tossed eight stellar innings for his oart. Up next are the Astros, another struggling rival off to a very poor start. The Yankees would do well to shove more dirt on […]

Yankees news: Cam Schlittler’s apprenticeship under Gerrit Cole

The Athletic | Chris Kirschner: Cam Schlittler has been one of the biggest surprises in recent Yankee history, coming onto the major-league stage in the most impressive way in less than a year. Part of his repertoire of success has been a shiny new cutter he unveiled in his final regular-season start, a cutter taught […]
