Latest news and updates about the Yankees
New York Daily News | Gary Phillips: The Subway Series kicks off tonight in Queens with both the Yankees and Mets finding themselves out of sorts. The Metropolitans are no longer the worst team in baseball, proudly ahead of the Astros, Rockies, and Angels, but still need to get back on track quickly if they […]
Among Yankees regulars, only Austin Wells and Ryan McMahon had a lower wRC+ than Jazz Chisholm Jr.’s 72 mark before Wednesday’s game against the Orioles. To say that the second baseman’s season has been a disappointment to this point would be an understatement. Before taking the field on Wednesday, Chisholm’s slash line was at .200/.280/.320 […]
As we saw when the Angels had literally Shohei Ohtani and Mike Trout at the same time and couldn’t sniff the playoffs, you need more than just a couple stars to make a good roster in baseball. The “Murderers’ Row” Yankees of the 1920s and ‘30s are a good example. Yes, they had the likes […]
Wednesday can comfortably be filed away in the “bad” drawer for the Yankees. They mustered just a single hit in a shutout loss to the Orioles, a game in which Max Fried departed early with ever-troubling elbow soreness. The loss keeps them in the hole in the American League East, as they eagerly look to […]
We’re going to try something a little different this time around on Sequence of the Week. Normally, we select a single at-bat or plate appearance from a given game to highlight the sequencing and execution from a Yankees pitcher. However, there were two encounters from the Yankees’ most recent win against the Orioles on Tuesday […]
Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders: W, 7-0 vs. Syracuse Mets SS George Lombard Jr. 0-5, 1 K1B Seth Brown 1-52B Marco Luciano 1-3, 1 2B, 1 R, 1 BB3B Oswaldo Cabrera 2-4, 1 RBI, 1 R, 1 KDH Ernesto Martinez Jr. 1-4, 1 R, 1 KC Ali Sánchez 1-4, 1 RLF Jonathan Ornelas 2-3, 1 2B, 2 […]
Hello, friends. You know what? Things are a lot more fun when the Orioles beat the Yankees than when they lose to them. I know, I know, I’m making a radical statement there. It is the truth. Yesterday’s 7-0 win, in which the O’s managed to one-hit a suddenly-staggered New York team, sealed a series […]
The last week hasn’t been too kind to the Yankees, as they’ve dropped five of their last six games and seen their offense disappear for most of that stretch. While there’s concerns to be had about the lineup struggling to get going again leading to one of their only losing streaks of the year, they […]
SNY | Alex Smith: The Yankees lost for the sixth time in their last eight games on Wednesday, and that’s not even the worst news: left-hander Max Fried had to leave the game after three innings with left elbow posterior soreness. The pitcher himself told Bryan Hoch of MLB.com that it felt like a hyperextension […]
Wow. So it turns out that, on any given day, even the Orioles are capable of looking like a behemoth. Despite the fact that inclement weather forced a time change for Wednesday’s series finale, and that they were facing a team that had demolished them 39-9 in a series sweep last week, the Birds were […]
Things stink right now. The Yankee offense has been present for one game out of the last six, and we’re in the dark about the Max Fried’s potential elbow injury. On top of all that, New York lost a game that it felt like they were never involved in in the first place, managing a […]
After that skid in Milwaukee, the Yankees have the chance to get right back on the horse today with a series win over Baltimore. First pitch time has been moved up from 6:35pm to 1:05pm this afternoon with fears of some nasty weather tonight, but we’re all hoping for some nasty pitching from Max Fried […]
After a four-game sweep in the Bronx last week, I was in no hurry to see the Orioles face the Yankees again. This time it’s gone better, although far from great. In Game 1, the O’s snatched a late win, with Coby Mayo going yard after his team had been no-hit for six innings. But […]
John Ryan Murphy: a name that lives rent-free in my brain. Why? No one knows, other than the fact it sounds more like a nursery rhyme than the name of a former big-league catcher. Murphy was once on the long list of Yankees right-handed catchers. Remember those days when Francisco Cervelli was the primary catcher, […]
The Yankees broke their losing streak on Tuesday, besting Baltimore 6-2 thanks to a five-run third inning. Trent Grisham punctuated the rally with a three-run blast off of Trevor Rogers, who has looked nowhere close to the dominant form he displayed for the O’s in 2025. The rest of the league was back in action […]
SB Nation is excited to share a new job posting for Pinstripe Alley: Team Site Producer. This is a new position that will oversee Pinstripe Alley, shaping our daily coverage of the Yankees, growing the audience here – that’s you, reading this – and helping our team of writers to continue delivering smart Yankees coverage. […]
The San Francisco Giants had a good time in Southern California on Tuesday night, beating the Los Angeles Dodgers 6-2. In a statistic that almost defies reality, the Giants are now 4-1 against the two-time defending champions … and just 14-23 against the rest of the league. But that wasn’t the only fun that was […]
Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders: L, 4-7 (13) vs. Syracuse Mets SS George Lombard Jr. 0-2, 4 BB, K, fielding error — almost the rare extra-inning/no-contact day; also had first error at Triple-A, which sparked Syracuse’s ninth-inning rally to go from trailing 4-2 to a 4-4 tie1B-LF Seth Brown 1-5, HR, BB, RBI, 2 K2B Marco Luciano 1-5, […]
Good morning Birdland, Those two back-to-back wins the Orioles had on Sunday and Monday were cool, huh? But yesterday felt like a slap back to reality. The 6-2 loss to the Yankees is easy enough to swallow. Losses happen in baseball. But the fact that Trevor Rogers got hit around does not instill much confidence […]
Hey folks, it was a quick turnaround last night on a weeknight and I was at the game, so we’re going to just do a classic “Today on Pinstripe Alley” post today rather than doing a full question exercise. Thanks for understanding! We’ll still have two rapid-fire questions for folks to talk about if they […]
CBS Sports | Mike Axisa: The Yankees recalled Anthony Volpe on Tuesday, giving their erstwhile starting shortstop another opportunity to carve out a role in the big leagues. After struggling on both sides of the ball last year, Volpe underwent shoulder surgery this offseason and began the year on the IL. Once his rehab stint […]
Trevor Rogers was ambushed in his return to the mound Tuesday night, giving up six runs in his first start in more than two weeks. That spelled disaster for the Orioles, who fell 6-2 in game of the series with the Yankees at Camden Yards. Before the game even began, the Orioles got some bad […]
The 2026 Yankees have been masters of the crooked number. The fun comes in bunches this year, and that theme continued in Baltimore on Tuesday night as the Yankees plated five in the third inning en route to a 6-2 series-evening win. Paul Goldschmidt hit a leadoff homer on the game’s first pitch, and Trent […]
I think I speak for everyone here when I hope the 2026 iteration of the Yankees does not prove to be as starkly bipolar as it has been throughout the season’s first month and a half. New York has dropped four consecutive games following a torrid stretch when they briefly had the best record in […]
The Milwaukee Brewers and San Diego Padres are getting a three-game series started at American Family Field. The Brewers are coming off a sweep of the New York Yankees while the Padres just finished a four-game series split with the St. Louis Cardinals. Milwaukee is getting healthier as Christian Yelich was activated off the IL […]
