ALDS Game 1 Player of the Game: Gerrit Cole
“Kevin, can you pick up the Player of the Game for Game 1 of the ALDS?”“Sure… I hope I can write about Gerrit Cole going eight shutty.” Baseball can be a cruel sport. I suspect we all would have signed up for five innings of one-run ball from Gerrit Cole at The Trop Saturday night. […]
Great pitching beats good pitching as Yankees miss huge opportunity
Entering the playoffs, the Yankees knew they’d have to win their share of tight, low-scoring games if they wanted to advance deep into the playoffs. You know, the type of games that became their trademark during the second half of the season, as the offense floundered without Aaron Judge but the team still surged in […]
Yankees News: Drew Rasmussen and Rays take Round 1
Newsday: The Yankees dropped Game 1 against the Rays on Saturday night. The story of the game was Tampa Bay starter Drew Rasmussen, who completely shut down the Yankees, taking a no-hitter into the eighth inning. The Athletic | Chris Kirschner: The Yankees ended up sticking with Gerrit Cole to start game one of the […]
Yankees get outplayed by Rasmussen, Rays in Game 1 of ALDS
The Yankees came into the ALDS riding high, having crushed their archrivals in the Wild Card Series, the lineup coming alive just in time. Unfortunately, just as quickly as they woke up, the bats fell asleep, no match for Rays ace Drew Rasmussen in a 1-0 shutout loss to Tampa Bay. New York’s downfall started […]
AL Division Series Game 1: Gerrit Cole vs. Drew Rasmussen
The Yankees will kick off the Division Series from Tampa, with Gerrit Cole on the mound and Ben Rice leading off as the Bombers look to continue the chase for 28. Going with yet another lefty-heavy lineup, the Yankees are going with Jazz Chisholm Jr. at second, Spencer Jones in right field, and Luis García […]

The Yankees are set to continue their postseason run, and have revealed their lineup for Game 1 of the Division Series from Tampa Bay. Ben Rice leads off for the Yankees after dominating the Red Sox in the Wild Card Series, with expectations to continue his hot streak against the Rays. Bellinger will bat second […]
A full breakdown of the Yankees’ Division Series roster
The stage is set for the Postseason, and the Yankees have confirmed their 26-man roster for the American League Division Series. There isn’t too much of a change from the Wild Card Series roster, but it’s worth noting that Aaron Judge is left out once again, and Ryan Weathers is available to step in as […]
Arizona Fall League 2026 preview
The minor league season has officially concluded league-wide, with the Triple-A Championship Game on September 26th officially serving as the conclusion of the final game in Minor League Baseball in 2026. As thousands of players across all levels prepare for their offseason, there exists a handful in every organization who aren’t quite done with organized […]
Yankees Birthday of the Day: Dave Winfield
Before Aaron Judge and Giancarlo Stanton, Dave Winfield (along with Dave Parker) was the definitive “Holy (bleep) that guy is huge!” star. Although his Yankees tenure was clouded by a tumultuous relationship with George Steinbrenner, Winfield deserves to be remembered as a great Yankee who made those 80s teams memorable despite never winning a ring. […]
Yankees must slay the three-headed monster atop the Rays lineup
This is where things get down to the brass tacks. The Yankees swept the Red Sox aside in the AL Wild Card Series, boat racing Boston by a combined score of 18-2, to fly into the ALDS with belief and positive momentum. It’s a whole other beast they’ll face in the Rays, their offense rolling […]
AL Division Series Game 1 Preview: New York Yankees @ Tampa Bay Rays
Sweeping the Red Sox with two blowout wins was a joyous occasion, not to mention the tangible positive impact of setting up your rotation for the ALDS. The Yankees can begin the series against the Rays with Gerrit Cole as the Game 1 starter, which is only fitting considering Cole’s regular-season campaign in 2026 began […]
Drew Rasmussen headlines a deep Rays staff entering ALDS
After a thorough dismantling of the Red Sox in a Wild Card sweep, the Yankees are riding high. Their offense torched Boston’s pitchers, scoring 18 runs on 26 hits and swatting four homers in the two-game set. Next up is another division rival, the 98-win Tampa Bay Rays. Tampa’s starting rotation finished second in the […]
Today on Pinstripe Alley – 10/3/26
Here we go again. After besting the Red Sox in the Wild Card Series, the Yankees begin a Division Series matchup against the AL East champions for the second straight year in a row, this time drawing the Rays as opposed to last year’s Blue Jays. The tale of the tape is close between these […]
Yankees news: All aboard the Cole train
MLB.com | Bryan Hoch: After much deliberation, the Yankees are going with Gerrit Cole to start Game 1 of the ALDS. It’s a reasonable choice, even with how great Carlos Rodón was down the stretch, and a meaningful one to the erstwhile ace of the Yankees. It wasn’t long ago that Cole couldn’t even grip […]
An early look at the Yankees’ ALDS roster: Who makes the cut?
There are still several questions to be answered about who will star for the Yankees in the American League Division Series against the Rays. Aaron Boone met with the media during Friday’s workout day and shared crumbs of information on questionable players, including Aaron Judge and Ryan Weathers. After taking some reps during batting practice […]
How many pitchers do the Yankees actually need in the ALDS?
The Yankees made headlines with an unusual roster construction in the Wild Card. Confident in their starting rotation and recognizing the team’s extreme lefty/right splits, New York carried a Major League record 16 position players, carrying just ten pitchers for the three-game set with the Boston Red Sox. While the team did not, in the […]

Yankees Birthday of the Day: Spec Shea
Gifted at birth with a father who was a semiprofessional pitcher, Francis Joseph O’Shea (the O’ was later dropped) spent his childhood hearing about how he would be a pitcher in the major leagues someday. A Yankees fan since childhood, Shea’s father would take his son to games in the Bronx each chance they got, […]
MLB Playoff Roundup: Braves advance to NLDS showdown with Dodgers
With Major League Baseball’s current postseason format, there’s always a chance that the Thursday of Wild Card Series Week is a universal offday. The sample is only so large, but the best-of-three format has not produced many series that have gone the distance — such as it were, as three is hardly much of a […]
Yankees must stay away from Trent Grisham in center in the ALDS
Yankees outfielder Trent Grisham has been nursing right hamstring issues since the summer. Two injured list stints and many missed games later, the problem appears to be mostly behind him, as he was activated on time for the AL Wild Card Series against the Boston Red Sox. We say ‘mostly’ because, even though the Yankees […]
Today on Pinstripe Alley – 10/2/26
After a glorious playoff win against the Red Sox, the Yankees basked in a glorious offday. In a parallel universe, we may have been sweating out a do-or-die Game 3 against Boston, but in this universe, the Yankees left no doubt, pounding their rivals and giving themselves a chance to enjoy a full reset before […]
Yankees news: Anatomy of an offensive explosion
New York Post | Mark W. Sanchez: The biggest surprise of the Wild Card Series sweep over the Red Sox was the 18 combined runs scored by the Yankees, not a team known for scoring when Aaron Judge is on the shelf. The way New York put up those runs was surprising too, with a […]
How to watch Yankees vs. Rays in ALDS: Start times, channels, and more
Thanks to a pair of emphatic victories over the rival Red Sox in the American League Wild Card Series, the Yankees punched their ticket to their eighth Division Series in the past decade. The parameters of how to get to the ALDS have evolved some since that streak began in 2017 (when they won a […]
New York Yankees vs. Tampa Bay Rays: ALDS preview
The Yankees are on their way to Tampa after making quick work of the Red Sox in the Wild Card Series. It’s only fitting that their next hurdle takes the form of the team that edged them for the division title—just like last year. The Tampa Bay Rays own the Junior Circuit’s top regular season […]
