Latest news and updates about the Yankees
Don’t look now, but one month of the season is already in the books. Okay, not exactly, as, while March is now over, teams only ever play a handful of regular season games in the month. However, we are now fully into the swing of the 2026 season, with every team having a handful of […]
Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders: Sorry everyone, it’s another weather-related postponement for the RailRiders. This time it was rain up in Rochester, just a few days after freezing temperatures postponed a game in Buffalo over the weekend. They’ll make this one up in a couple days as part of a doubleheader on April 3rd. The official word […]
Long-term deals for top prospects are all the rage. Yesterday morning, news broke of the Mariners and minor-league infielder Colt Emerson agreeing on an eight-year deal worth a minimum of $95 million, a record for player who has yet to make his MLB debut. This, just hours after reports emerged that the Brewers were nearing […]
SNY | Phillip Martínez: The Yankees hoped to have left-hander Carlos Rodon back at some point in April, but those plans might have hit a snag. On Tuesday, manager Aaron Boone revealed that the southpaw, who had a 3.09 ERA and struck out 203 batters last year before encountering some elbow issues in the postseason […]
The Yankees got exactly the response they needed Tuesday night, bouncing back from their first loss of the season with a 5-0 win over the Mariners in Seattle. After Monday’s frustrating walk-off defeat, New York handed the ball to Max Fried on normal rest thanks to Sunday’s rare offday, and the ace delivered exactly the […]
This was the matchup in the series the Mariners had the lowest percentage of winning (even while still being favored, apparently no one told the oddsmakers at FanGraphs the Mariners are suffering a bit of a limp offensively), but it was still pretty rough to watch. Max Fried outdueled Logan Gilbert, holding the Mariners scoreless […]
The Mariners recorded their first walkoff win of the season last night and in narrative-pleasing fashion, it was Cal Raleigh who dealt reigning MVP Aaron Judge’s Yankees the loss. Ah, that’s the good stuff. The Mariners really needed that win because they have two rough draws for the rest of this series, starting with Max […]
The Yankees finally took one on the chin Monday night, as Cal Raleigh delivered the walk-off winner for the Mariners in Seattle. After opening the season with a three-game sweep of the San Francisco Giants, New York dropped its first game of 2026 in a frustratingly getting walked off in a 2-1 loss. It might […]
The New York Yankees are off to as good a start as you can ask for in the 2026 Major League Baseball season. After a series sweep of the San Francisco Giants on the road, they travel up the west coast and play the Seattle Mariners for a three-game series before a day off and […]
Back in August, I began a series here at Pinstripe Alley where I was going to put together an All-Star Yankee team of players who were born in a given month. Since then, we as a staff have started doing daily posts for the year 2026, highlighting a Yankee from history whose birthday happens to land on that […]

Sign up here to participate in the weekly emailed surveys. Last week, I had the Pinstripe Alley staff make predictions on the 2026 season, and […]
It was unfortunate to see the Yankees’ perfect 3-0 record go by the wayside. Obviously that was never going to last, but it was almost more annoying to lose a close game, even when the opponent is a tough one in Seattle. Ryan Weathers didn’t go very deep, the bullpen was exposed a bit with […]
If you watched any of the Little League World Series in the late 2000s, you will recall the number of times you saw Chien-Ming Wang listed as a favorite player. The legend began 46 years ago today in Taiwan’s oldest city, long before he became a household name in New York or a symbol of […]
Baseball is back, and if the opening week of games are a portent of things to come, we are in for a thrilling season around the league. One of my favorite parts of the return of baseball is that I get to resume the At-Bat of the Week and Sequence of the Week series where […]
Good morning, baseball fans! Today, I wanted to check in to see how everyone is feeling after the first series of the year for the San Francisco Giants, in which they were swept by the New York Yankees. Yes, I know they will have technically started the second series by the time you’re reading this, […]
Yankees minor league baseball is back! While the big league club worked on sweeping the San Francisco Giants out west, the first games of the minor league season took place over the weekend, with Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre opening their season on Friday. They only played three games, and the other three full-season affiliates don’t officially kick […]

The Yankees’ hopes of going 162-0 were quashed on Monday, as the Mariners won in walk-off fashion 2-1 to open up a three-game set with the Bombers. New York was getting shut down against Luis Castillo, a common occurrence at this point against the Mariner ace, but managed to tie the game shortly after he […]
New York Daily News | Gary Phillips: Ben Rice didn’t exactly raise eyebrows with his first base defense last year, and when he did it wasn’t in a good way. The young Yankee cost his team some outs down the stretch and in the playoffs, especially when it came to his footwork around the bag […]
Even though the Mariners were winning most of the game, it still felt like they were going to have to win on a comeback, which they eventually did. The Yankees were dominating the ABS challenge system, and the Mariners had a few defensive miscues, driving all the focus to the Yankees’ half-innings. Meanwhile, despite putting […]
The opening salvo in this three-game battle between the Yankees and Mariners was as tight as you could have expected—and also true to expectations, pitching led the way. Neither staff so much as blinked throughout this game, but ultimately the Mariners found the big hit late as they prevailed, 2-1. Cal Raleigh’s walk-off single against […]
