Yankees news: Projecting the rest of Aaron Judge’s prime
FanGraphs | Ben Clemens: Aaron Judge is the best hitter in baseball, and has been just about that since his Rookie of the Year campaign in 2017. Once again heading into 2026 he’s expected to lead the league in offensive production, and as Clemens digs in, there’s a very good argument that barring a catastrophe, […]
Giancarlo Stanton homers twice as Yankees dispatch Blue Jays
The Yankees defeated the Toronto Blue Jays on Wednesday night in Tampa behind a big performance from Giancarlo Stanton, who launched two home runs and drove in three runs as New York continued its spring slate with an 8-1 victory. The game turned quickly in the third inning when the Yankees’ offense came to life. […]
New York Yankees vs. Toronto Blue Jays: Cam Schlittler vs. Eric Lauer
Spring training rolls on tonight as the Yankees host the Blue Jays at George M. Steinbrenner Field. The Yankees send Cam Schlittler to the bump for his second appearance of the spring. Schlittler was brilliant in his first outing after being delayed by back inflammation and a lat issue, striking out four batters in 2.1 […]
2026 MLB Team Preview Series: Cleveland Guardians
Despite fielding one of the worst offenses in baseball last season, the Cleveland Guardians still finished atop the American League Central when the dust settled. How an organization that was almost anemic offensively managed to win its division can be puzzling at first glance. The ballclub by the lake does one thing as well as […]
Yankees Birthday of the Day: Bobby Abreu
If you were to rank the Yankees’ all-time best in season trades, the deal that brought Bobby Abreu to the Bronx in 2006 would rank up there. For what ended up being basically nothing in terms of prospects sent the other way, the Yankees got two and a half seasons of a very good hitter, […]
Yankees 2026 Season Preview: Austin Wells
They say that the World Baseball Classic can be a blessing for a hitter. An earlier ramp-up and encounters with high-level pitching weeks before the beginning of the regular season has may positively affect hitter performance, with a study by RotoWire finding that, on average, hitters who played in the WBC played better in April […]
Yankees spring training roster battles: “Making the Team Meter” round two
Last Monday, we began the 2026 edition of our annual Making the Team Meter by revealing a team that, despite coming into camp with three injuries in the starting rotation and their shortstop recovering from shoulder surgery, had only a handful of bullpen spots and a bench spot truly up for grabs. Fast forward nine […]
2026 World Baseball Classic: Italy embarrasses Team USA
For the first time since the start of the tournament, yesterday had just a small slate of World Baseball Classic games, with just eight teams playing. Despite the small number of games, there was no shortage of excitement, as we saw an electrician dominate in his final career start, a lengthy rain delay, a bases-loaded […]
Can Anthony Volpe rebound for the Yankees?
Oh, Anthony Volpe. Once one of the most promising position player prospects the Yankees have produced in recent years, and a feel-good story of the local kid making the team out of spring training back in 2023, Volpe’s penchant for long periods of futility has turned him into one of the most polarizing players on […]
Yankees news: Gil excited to put injury behind him
MLB.com | Bryan Hoch: After winning the AL Rookie of the Year award in 2024, Luis Gil’s 2025 season was not what he wanted. Limited to just 11 starts last year due to injury, Gil’s looking forward to 2026 and so far the early returns of spring have been encouraging. Hoch also has some notes […]
2026 MLB Team Preview Series: New York Mets
It’s been 11 years since the Mets last won the division, coincidentally the last time they made it to the World Series, losing to the Royals in five games. A historic second-half collapse saw them plummet from division leaders to being dumped out of the playoff picture entirely with a loss to the Marlins on […]
Jasson Domínguez, Spencer Jones homer as Yankees handle Phillies in Clearwater
Spring training is all about watching talent you can dream on—even with the fever-pitched debates around the futures of Jasson Domínguez and Spencer Jones in Yankee circles, it’s always a treat when either of them connect. Today, both of them homered early in the Yankees’ 4-2 Grapefruit League victory over the Phillies in Clearwater. J.C. […]
New York Yankees @ Philadelphia Phillies: Luis Gil vs. Tanner Banks
Pardon our delay on the game thread this afternoon! It’s spring training for all of us, but we did want to get one set up in case anyone wanted to chime in on the Yanks/Phils road matchup today. Luis Gil will aim to build on his much more impressive last time out in comparison to […]
Yankees Birthday of the Day: Steve Howe
Steve Howe was an extraordinary pitcher. Featuring a bowling-ball sinker that he could locate with pinpoint control, his arm talent and tenacity distinguished him from the competition at every stage of his baseball life. He accomplished things on the field that should form the foundation of a proud legacy. Unfortunately, Howe never got the chance […]
Yankees 2026 Season Preview: Ryan Weathers
As has been the case with all of our coverage surrounding young starting pitchers for the Yankees, their importance to the club early in the year would be hard to overstate. With each of Gerrit Cole, Carlos Rodón, and Clarke Schmidt on the shelf to begin the season, depth in the rotation will be vital, […]

How would you line up the Yankees’ starting rotation?
The closer we get to Opening Day, the sooner we’ll lean about the Yankees’ ultimate roster plans. Manager Aaron Boone got the obvious out of the way last night, with the confirmation that 2025 ace free-agent signing Max Fried will be the Opening Day starter. If you had to line up the Yankees’ rotation beyond […]
Yankees news: Fried named Opening Day starter
MLB.com | Bryan Hoch: To no one’s surprise, Max Fried will be taking the baton first for the Yankee rotation in 2026. The team officially announced that Fried will be the Opening Day starter on March 25th against the Giants, setting up their ace from the 2025 season to start things off. Fried didn’t get […]
Max Fried, Giancarlo Stanton star in Yankees’ spring loss to Pittsburgh
Look. It’s spring training. I’m not going to get too wound up in the final score. There was some really good tonight and some really blah tonight. On the positive side of the ledger, just-announced Opening Day starter Max Fried looked like an ace on the mound, mixing his repertoire and flummoxing Pirates hitters. Meanwhile, […]

Yankees reassign Spencer Jones and Elmer Rodríguez to minor league camp
The Yankees announced today that they’ve optioned two of their top prospects, Spencer Jones and Elmer Rodríguez, to minor league camp. The two will finish out spring training at minor league camp and will start their seasons with Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes Barre. Even as they head back to the minors, both prospects showed very well with […]
New York Yankees vs Pittsburgh Pirates: Max Fried vs José Urquidy
Spring training continues tonight for the Yankees, with Pittsburgh coming to George M. Steinbrenner Field to face off with the Bronx Bombers. A considerable chunk of the Yankees’ roster is occupied at the World Baseball Classic—albeit with Jazz Chisholm Jr. and José Caballero now about to head home with their teams eliminated— but the Yanks […]
Ask Pinstripe Alley: Yankees mailbag questions request
Spring plods along, and we’re now just a few weeks away from Opening Day and the real start of the 2026 season. The World Baseball Classic will cover a good portion of that time, and the tournament is heating up as pool play is wrapping up in the next couple of days. The United States […]
2026 MLB Team Preview Series: Kansas City Royals
The 2025 Kansas City Royals were not bad. However, they also share a division with the Detroit Tigers (excellent in the first-half of the season) and the Cleveland Guardians (excellent in the second-half), so their 82 wins just weren’t enough to push them into the postseason. Consider some of the details. The good? Bobby Witt […]
