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 […]
Could former top Giants prospect Marco Luciano be the Yankees’ future at second?
It’s been a long road for Marco Luciano. The No. 2 overall prospect in the 2018 international class, Luciano was signed by the Giants out of the Dominican Republic for $2.6 million. San Francisco valued the 16-year-old for his 6-foot-3 frame, pop, and athleticism, projecting him as a middle-of-the-order bat with the potential to develop […]
Yankees Birthday of the Day: Wally Schang
When a player in today’s Major League Baseball scene comes along and does something extraordinary, he’ll provide a flurry of answers as to what brought him into that position in the first place. When Aaron Judge hit 62 home runs in 2022, the number by itself was otherworldly, but passing Roger Maris’ mark of 61 […]
Yankees Rivalry Roundup: Sox spoil Devers’ return to Fenway
The Yankees had a tense affair to open their homestand against the Blue Jays, as Cam Schlittler wasn’t on his A-game and the offense got a couple across early before shutting down. Despite this, their Cy Young candidate managed to fight through and give them six innings of one-run ball and the crooked number they […]
Ode to the Father of the Rain Delay
One hundred forty years ago today, the Louisville Colonels and the Cincinnati Red Stockings were tied at three apiece in the top of the 11th inning of an American Association showdown when Chicken Wolf came to the plate. The Colonels’ infielder — whose real name was William Van Winkle Wolf, although he was often called […]

Today on Pinstripe Alley – 8/22/26
The Yankees lost a pair of annoying close games to the Blue Jays to begin last weekend in Toronto, so it was nice to see New York return the favor last night while also trimming the Rays’ AL East lead to three games. Cam Schlittler bent but did not break, a close call went the […]
Yankees news: Spencer Jones keeps on raking
New York Daily News | Peter Sblendorio: Spencer Jones has been at the heart of the Yankees’ last two wins, homering on Thursday to help secure the sweep over the Orioles and following it on Friday with a two-run moonshot against the Blue Jays. Aaron Boone made sure to highlight the adjustments Jones is making […]
Spencer Jones’ homer, Cam Schlittler’s tenacity key Yankees win over Blue Jays
As was the case with their series loss against the Blue Jays that wrapped up at the start of the week, there wasn’t much offense on display tonight. However, Spencer Jones hit his second home run in as many days — a two-run moonshot to give them the lead in the second — while Cam […]
New York Yankees vs. Toronto Blue Jays: Cam Schlittler vs. Mason Fluharty

Yankees place Ryan McMahon on IL, recall Max Schuemann
When Ryan McMahon jammed his left thumb sliding into second base on Wednesday night, the Yankees seemed hopeful that the third baseman would be able to avoid the injured list. Alas, it seems that the team has decided to use an abundance of caution: prior to tonight’s game, the Bombers announced that they had placed […]

Remember to send in your questions for our weekly call by e-mail to pinstripealleyblog [at] gmail [dot] com. Michael G. asks: Among the free agents to be, do we re-sign any of them?

Ryan Weathers and Will Warren may be the unsung heroes of 2026
It feels like multiple times during the offseason and into spring training, whether it be in relation to an acquisition or for a player’s season preview, I remark that “they say you can never have enough pitching.” The Yankees, who boast one of the sport’s more productive pitching staffs, are living proof of that exact […]
Yankees Birthday of the Day: Tom Greenwade
Around 11 a.m. on May 29, 1949, veteran scout Tom Greenwade rolled up to a home in Commerce, OK to link up with a teenage ballplayer and his father. After watching the kid play each of the two days prior, Greenwade was intrigued enough to drive from Commerce to Baxter Springs, KS for another showcase. […]
Yankees Rivalry Roundup: Dominant starting pitching the story of the day
The demise of the starting pitcher has been much-bemoaned in recent years (including by yours truly when discussing America’s pastime with friends). Don’t tell that to some of the men who toed the slab Thursday though. Shane Bieber, Jacob deGrom, Grant Holmes, and Gavin Williams all starred for their respective clubs. Holmes flirted with history […]
New York Yankees vs. Toronto Blue Jays: Series Preview
Having wrapped up a road trip with a series victory in Baltimore, the Yankees are now set to return home this weekend.

Today on Pinstripe Alley – 8/21/26
The Yankees needed a pick-me-up after losing two of three to Toronto over the weekend, and sweeping a Baltimore squad that is among the muck of Wild Card hopefuls was as good as they were going to get. The pitching remained solid, with an off-his-game Will Warren still giving them four innings and one run […]
Yankees news: Aaron Judge should be banned from diving
NJ.com | Randy Miller ($): Randy talks the thorax with Dr. Spencer Stein of NYU Langone, who discusses how Aaron Judge’s lingering rib injury could influence how the reigning MVP plays when he returns.

Gerrit Cole guides Yankees to sweep over Orioles
In their current state with the injuries and the offense struggling, almost every game the Yankees play ends up being a close one.

His 2.19 ERA is also the best in the junior circuit and third in the majors behind Jacob Misiorowski and Chris Sale. Statistically, Schlittler’s 2026 season has been nothing short of amazing. In fact, he is well […]

Can Yankees fans really trust the optimism around Max Fried?
Amid the summer heat, and on a Monday no less, the Yankees announced they were placing Max Fried on the injured list. The news broke with a very general release saying the move was retroactive to Friday and due to a left elbow bone bruise. The same injury that cost Fried two months already this […]
