Latest news and updates about the Yankees
The Yanks entered Friday night fresh off a sweep of mortal enemy Boston, getting this road trip off to a heck of a start. They turned to Will Warren, coming off one of the finest outings of his career, to keep the momentum going. But the Astros offense is different than Kansas City’s. Yordan Alvarez […]
Giancarlo Stanton has been ravaged by injuries over the years, many of them to his lower body. During an otherwise-smashing Friday night in Houston for the Yankees, his old injury bug seemingly popped up yet again. With Stanton at second base, J.C. Escarra singled to left field, off the wall at Daikin Park. Stanton advanced […]
he Houston Astros (10-16) will play the first of a three-game series with their heated interdivision rival New York Yankkes (16-9), tonight at Daikin Park. RHP Lance McCullers Jr (1-1, 6.20 ERA) will make his fifth regular season appearance for the Astros tonight opposite the Yankees and starter RHP Will Warren (2-0, 2.49 ERA). TONIGHT’S STARTER: RHP Lance […]
Fresh off a three-game sweep of Boston at Fenway Park, the Yankees begin the second series of this nine-game road trip. The opponent? Another rival club that is off to a rough start to 2026: the Houston Astros. Devastated by injuries to their pitching staff, the ‘Stros come into the series with a 10-16 record. […]
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. Cisforcookie asks: Is Grichuk the odd man out when Volpe returns with Rosario and Cabby both “able” to play in the […]
The Yankees drafted shortstop George Lombard Jr. in June 2023, back when he was an extremely toolsy but raw 18-year-old prospect. They chose ceiling over floor, something that they don’t always do, and so far, it’s hard to say they regret their choice. No, Lombard hasn’t made his MLB debut. He isn’t particularly close to […]
Carlos Beltrán only spent a small part near the end of his career with the Yankees. However, for as short as his tenure was, there was always something about him in pinstripes that felt natural. Maybe it was that he had been connected to the team before during his prior times on the free agent […]
The Yankees captured a good win on Thursday against the Red Sox. Cam Schlittler looked great once again, pitching eight innings, and a rally in the seventh on the backs of Cody Bellinger and Aaron Judge propelled them to victory. Although the schedule was light around the American League, there were still a couple of […]
One of the more authentic and colorful personalities in the media landscape steps into the Crawfish Boxes batter’s box to talk Yankees in advance of their upcoming series at Daikin Park.

The 2026 Red Sox season can’t continue as is, right? After a 9-16 start, the team finds itself seven games behind the New York Yankees after a three-game sweep in Boston this week. On Thursday night, Fenway Park felt alive again for the first six innings, as Payton Tolle struck out eleven Yankees and left […]
After a rivalry showdown in Fenway Park, the Yankees keep with the theme and head to another rival’s outpost in Houston. The Astros have had what can safely be described as a bad start to the 2026 season, despite a valiant effort from a Bondsian Yordan Alvarez. The Yankees will look to take advantage of […]

Is there anything better than a sweep in Boston? The Yankees kept the good times rolling yesterday, rallying late to support Cam Schlittler, who tossed eight stellar innings for his oart. Up next are the Astros, another struggling rival off to a very poor start. The Yankees would do well to shove more dirt on […]
The Athletic | Chris Kirschner: Cam Schlittler has been one of the biggest surprises in recent Yankee history, coming onto the major-league stage in the most impressive way in less than a year. Part of his repertoire of success has been a shiny new cutter he unveiled in his final regular-season start, a cutter taught […]
For six innings, it looked like the Yankees might have finally run out of timely hits in Boston. I will not lie and say I did not put my broom back in the closet. The missed opportunities felt all too similar to the frustrating Tampa series. They stranded runners, watched Red Sox rookie Payton Tolle […]
The Boston Red Sox have left us collectively feeling like we’re living with a diabetic. If you want some juice, you gotta go elsewhere. Payton Tolle, however, knew we were missing out and brought his own on Thursday, putting together a stupendous performance during his season debut against the New York Yankees at Fenway Park […]
The Yankees have already locked up the series win, but Thursday evening presents a bigger opportunity. New York enters Fenway Park looking for its first three-game sweep there since September 2021, and a chance to keep momentum rolling against their longtime rivals. The formula through the first two games has been simple and effective: dominant […]

Boston will roll out yet another interesting lineup in the series finale, as they remain without Roman Anthony (back soreness). Jarren […]
The year is 1997. Liván Hernández takes the mound for the Marlins in Game 5 of the NLCS against the Braves. Little did the Braves, the fans in attendance, and those tuning in know that they were about to witness one of the most outrageous displays of home plate umpiring in MLB history. Granted, Greg […]
Right now, everybody’s talking about bullpens. Earlier this week, the Los Angeles Dodgers put newly signed closer Edwin Diaz on the injured list after a disastrous start to his LA career, as he undergoes surgery to remove loose bodies from his elbow. Over in Queens, their two new bullpen arms, Devin Williams and Luke Weaver, […]
The Yankees were a powerhouse team of the late 1990s and the early 2000s, powered by some of the game’s best players of all time. However, they weren’t the only team consistently vying for a World Series championship. The Atlanta Braves were the National League’s elite squad, as from 1991 through 2005, they won a […]
The Yankees thoroughly handled the Red Sox for a second night in a row, making it 17 consecutive shutout innings to start The Rivalry off in 2026 before Brent Headrick allowed a single baserunner home in the ninth inning. Max Fried kept them in check all night, tossing eight innings to keep the rest of […]
After falling into a rut in the middle of April, the Yankees starting rotation has righted the ship in its last turn. Since the start of the series against the Royals, Cam Schlittler, Will Warren, Ryan Weathers, Luis Gil, and Max Fried all authored some of the best starts of their Yankees careers. After Fried’s […]
