Latest news and updates about the Yankees
If you look at just some parts of the box score of this game with the runs stat blocked out, you might think the Yankees had come away with a win. They outhit the Mets, and they were fairly close in a lot of other stats. The issue for them is that they made several […]
Friday night saw the Yankees and Mets renew the Subway Series for 2026, and it went pretty well for the Bronx half of the rivalry. Led by another good start from Cam Schlittler, the Yankees downed the Mets to take round one. However, it’s a new day, and the two teams will now face off […]
Unwilling, and rightfully so, to rush Gerrit Cole’s return date to a big-league mound, the Yankees will look to their Triple-A roster to help fill the absence of the recently injured Max Fried. With their ace hitting the shelf due to a left elbow bone bruise, the Yankees will bring up starter Elmer Rodríguez to […]

The Mets officially placed starter Clay Holmes on the 15-day IL after suffering a fractured fibula in last night’s game against the Yankees. To take his place on the roster, the Mets called up right-handed reliever Joey Gerber from Triple-A to take his spot on the roster. Holmes suffered the fractured fibula in the fourth […]
Height is a curious thing. Sure, all else being equal, it’s better to be taller if you’re a baseball player, but particularly for position players, this maxim ceases to apply after a certain point. More body mass means it’s harder to have precise control over your movement. Longer levers usually lead to more strikeouts. It’s […]
For all of the mythical greats that litter the history of Yankees Baseball, there is also a healthy list of characters, people who may not have been legends, but who nonetheless who have defined the franchise’s path over more than a century. Near the top of that illustrious list for the Bombers stands Billy Martin. […]
After dropping five of six, the Yankees got back on track yesterday with a strong showing against the Mets at Citi Field. Cam Schlittler outdueled Clay Holmes, Jazz Chisholm Jr. and Spencer Jones had timely hits, and Ben Rice’s solo shot off Craig Kimbrel was the icing on the cake in a 5-2 win. It […]
Meet the Mets Coming off a sweep of the Tigers, the Mets began the Subway Series last night against the Yankees, and the good times quickly came to an end. They fell behind early, were largely shut down by Cam Schlittler, and ultimately suffered a 5-2 loss. Choose your recap: Amazin’ Avenue, NY Post, Newsday, […]
The Yankees’ bullpen has dealt with underperformance, bad luck, and a lack of clearly defined roles through mid-May. And yet, the unit ranks fifth in baseball in ERA. Aided by a starting rotation which has shouldered a lion’s share of the workload and overperformances by two little-heralded lefties, New York’s relievers have somehow managed to […]

The Yankees have been up and down the last week or so, but perhaps just what they need to get rolling again is a date with their crosstown rivals. The Bombers got this Subway Series started off nicely last night, Cam Schlittler shoving (what else is new?) in a straightforward 5-2 victory. They’ll look to […]
MLB Trade Rumors | Steve Adams: Prior to yesterday’s game, the Yankees placed ace Max Fried on the 15-day injured list with a bone bruise in his left elbow. While, obviously, this isn’t great news, as Fried will not throw for a few weeks before being reevaluated, early indications seem to suggest that he has […]
Following the Mets’ loss to the Yankees tonight, Carlos Mendoza announced that Clay Holmes, who started the game, has a fractured fibula and will be out for a long time. Holmes had taken a line drive to his leg during his start. Having converted to working at a starter after signing with the Mets ahead […]
Cam Schlittler is really good at pitching a baseball. The young Yankees standout yet again refused to blink as he continued his domination of the major leagues in his sophomore season. Facing former Yankees closer Clay Holmes to open the 2026 edition of the Subway Series, Schlittler again gave the Yankees a solid performance. That […]
The Mets fell to the Yankees 5-2 in the opening game of this Subway Series at Citi Field. On a night when young flamethrower Cam Schlittler was facing off against the Mets’ best pitcher through the first month and a half of the season in Clay Holmes, you knew it wouldn’t take much offense to […]
The first Subway Series matchup of the season features a pitching duel that, a few years ago, would have sounded completely ridiculous. Currently the best starter on the Yankees staff, Cam Schlittler enters Friday night looking less like a youngster trying to stick in a rotation and more like a legitimate Cy Young contender, while […]

As was expected after he exited his Wednesday start early in Baltimore, Max Fried is going on the IL with an elbow injury before the Yankees’ Subway Series showdown tonight against the Mets. The good news is that the southpaw, who underwent Tommy John surgery as a minor leaguer in 2014, appears to have dodged […]
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. RememberBobbyMurcer asks: Should Boone consider giving more starts to Escarra given how poorly Wells is performing on offense at the 1/4 […]
A little over a month ago, while casually scrolling social media, I was hit with the Fanatics advertisement for the Yankees “Black Out Jersey” and I found myself scrambling to see if there was breaking news that the Yankees had announced an alternate jersey. To my satisfaction I found that this was not a new […]
Since the arrival of interleague play in 1997, there have been nearly a regular season’s worth of regular season games played between the New York Mets and the New York Yankees. These 152 games have included some of the many feats and oddities you’d expect from a season’s worth of play, from three-homer games to […]
It doesn’t take a true baseball expert to know that the Yankees and Mets, despite playing just seven miles apart, aren’t true rivals. After all, aside from the exhibition preseason “Mayor’s Trophy” games, they never met each other on a baseball diamond until June 1997 due to MLB’s relatively late introduction of interleague play. The […]
The Mookie Betts trade shook the baseball world. A century after dealing away a superstar who helped them win a World Series, the Boston Red Sox did it again. Worse, it seemed as though they didn’t get nearly as much in return as they probably could have for Betts, at that time a four-time All-Star, […]
