An all-too-early look at Ryan McMahon’s defense at third base
When the Yankees acquired third baseman Ryan McMahon last July, the general consensus was that they were bringing in a player who made up for his lack of pop at the plate with some of the best defense in the game. Although he has yet to earn a Gold Glove, this lack of hardware has […]
Yankees Birthday of the Day: Catfish Hunter
Today’s edition of our Yankees birthday series brings us to another member of the Baseball Hall of Fame. Owner of one of the most iconic nicknames in the game’s history, Jim Hunter may have only played a third of his career in pinstripes, but in the Bronx, and within the game in general, the right-hander […]
Yankees Rivalry Roundup: Jays drop another to Dodgers in World Series rematch
It took a while to overcome the cold, but the bats heated up in the eighth inning for the Yankees to manage the Athletics in the opener of their latest series. Amed Rosario was the clear MVP of the night, smashing a pair of home runs including the go-ahead three-run jack that won them the […]
The Yankees’ baserunning is turning a corner
This past Saturday, Giancarlo Stanton stole the show not for his stupendous power but for his baserunning. The slugger whose speed can charitably be described as “plodding” nonetheless swiped second base in the seventh inning when the Marlins neglected to hold him on first. His first steal since the 2024 ALDS and just his second […]
Yankees prospects: Losses and postponements on a chilly night
Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders: Postponed vs. Durham Bulls; will play straight doubleheader on Friday beginning at 4:35pm Double-A Somerset Patriots: Postponed at Binghamton Rumble Ponies; will play straight doubleheader today beginning at 4:05pm High-A Hudson Valley Renegades: L, 6-8 (11) vs. Wilmington Blue Rocks SS Core Jackson 0-5 — top of the order went 0-for-19, yuck …2B […]
What’s the coldest Yankees game you’ve ever been to?
There was definitely a chill in the air for last night’s Yankees comeback win over the A’s, as many fans caught on the broadcast were bundled up for the cold weather. Our own John Griffin was at the game and compared getting onto the 4 train after the final out to getting into a sauna. […]
Yankees news: It’s Ben Rice’s world
MLB.com | Bryan Hoch: Ben Rice has carried the Yankee offense in the early going, hitting .370 with three homers heading into this week’s series with the A’s. Rice represents a developmental success the Yankees haven’t seen much of in the last few decades, that of a homegrown lefty slugger. Just one homegrown player (Robinson […]
Amed Rosario crushes two home runs to charge Yankees’ comeback win over the A’s
The life of a backup position player isn’t a fun one. Sure, you get paid a lot to spend most of the game on the bench and have relatively little blame go your way any time your team loses, but any person who’s ever played sports tells you that it’s not fun to sit on […]

Sign up here to participate in the weekly emailed surveys. You can’t predict baseball, except for the times that you can. The Yankees are off […]
New York Yankees vs. The Athletics: Cam Schlittler vs. Aaron Civale
A baseball season is long and arduous, so individually, 7-10 day stretches don’t define seasons. Every year, teams that will go on to contend for a World Series will look ghastly for a time, while teams in the cellar will mysteriously get hot. Baseball is unique in this way, as the season is long enough […]
Giancarlo Stanton’s start almost seems too good to be true
The Yankees 2026 regular season and pursuit of another American League East title and, most of all, a World Series championship is underway with about as few hitches as a fan could ask for. Despite a troubling start for the bottom half of the order, the Yankees have managed plenty of runs to win games […]
Yankees At-Bat of the Week: Ben Rice (4/3)
While it was the pitching staff that carried the team through the first week of games, the offense began to break out scoring 23 runs in their three-game set against the Marlins. The unit is still far from firing on all cylinders, Aaron Judge yet to truly ignite his season. Instead, they’ve had to rely […]
Yankees Birthday of the Day: Oral Hildebrand
Oral Hildebrand’s baseball story feels almost too perfect for its era. Disney could easily turn it into a coming-of-age summer classic. Born in Indianapolis in 1907, his journey to the Yankees did not begin under bright lights. It started in the kind of Midwestern setting that shaped so many ballplayers of his generation, where imagination […]
Rivalry Roundup: LA crushes Toronto as the Yankees’ enemies fall en masse
I don’t know if I can go so far as to say that any night is a good one when there is no Yankees game. But Monday tested that thesis. Two AL East rivals, Toronto and Boston, lost. Detroit went down to defeat in Minnesota. After a first-inning solo shot from Cal Raleigh, Seattle never […]
New York Yankees vs. The Athletics: Series Preview
The Yankees took care of business through the season’s first two weeks, winning each of their three series. While the team has been solid offensively, its starting rotation has led the way, posting a 1.81 ERA that leads all of baseball by a wide margin. In their second season playing in West Sacramento, the Athletics […]
Yankees prospects: Week 2 minor league recap
For the first time this year, all four Yankees full-season affiliates were in action this past week, as Somerset, Hudson Valley, and kicked off their seasons on Friday night while Scranton put in a full week of work. Some bad weather led to several postponements around the system, but we got to see a great […]
Do the Yankees have a problem with the bottom of their lineup?
The Yankees had an excellent first week and a half of the season, winning three series in a row en route to a 7-2 start. Their pitching was fantastic, their offense was carried by a stellar top-half of the order, and even their two losses came in games in which they led late and only […]
Yankees news: Early struggles and other musings from the young season
The Athletic | Chris Kirschner: Over the weekend, the Yankees faced the Marlins, and Miami have been doing something you might not have realized. Starting towards the end of last season, the Marlins have begun calling pitches in the dugout via the coaching staff and relaying them to the catcher and the pitcher. Don’t expect […]
Ask Pinstripe Alley: Yankees mailbag questions request
The first home series of the year is in the books, and the Yankees have continued to excel in the early going. New York owns the best record in the American League, tied for the best in baseball, and while it’s quite early to be scoreboard watching it is notable to point out that they’ve […]
Assessing expectations against struggling stars
Baseball is such a peculiar sport. The Chicago White Sox just swept the Toronto Blue Jays, and that’s indicative of exactly diddly squat about those two teams. What we know for a fact is that no matter the campaign the Blue Jays will have had at the end of the year, it’ll be possible to […]
Yankees Birthday of the Day: Ken Clay
As we here at Pinstripe Alley continue to do our daily feature highlighting a Yankee birthday of the day, we’re probably going to come upon situations where someone we write about happens to have been in the news recently. In today’s case, it was for a sad reason. Today’s birthday is Ken Clay, who sadly […]
Yankees Rivalry Roundup: Red Sox, Blue Jays’ woes continue in series losses
There was no sweep to be found for the Yankees on Sunday; just lots of rain and stranded runners, plus a bad eighth from the bullpen that doomed them. The Marlins salvaged the series finale, so the Yankees must content themselves on this offday with a 7-2 record to start the year that still has […]
Yankees prospects: Spencer Jones’ slam leads Scranton blowout
Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders: W, 16-5 at Rochester Red Wings LF Jasson Domínguez 2-6, 2 RBI, 2 K2B Oswaldo Cabrera 2-5, 1 HR, 1 RBI, 3 R, 1 BBCF Spencer Jones 1-5, 1 HR, 4 RBI, 2 R, 3 K — fifth inning grand slam made the lead nice and comfortableRF Yanquiel Fernández 2-6, 1 3B, […]
How concerning is the Yankees’ bullpen?
The Yankees have gotten off to a 7-2 start, the best in the American League, and there’s obviously a lot going well to support that strong record. However, a perfect team the Yankees have not been, and the flaws have been notable especially in their two losses: the bottom of their lineup hasn’t given them […]
Yankees news: Stanton shows off small ball skills
MLB | Bryan Hoch: Who said Giancarlo Stanton was just a stationary slugger? In Saturday’s 9-7 comeback win against the Marlins, Stanton showed that he has more tools in his bag besides clobbering homers. After drawing a leadoff walk in the seventh inning, Stanton took advantage of the Marlins’ lax defense and stole his first […]
