The Yankees 2026 regular season and pursuit of another American League East title and, most of all, a World Series championship is underway with about as few hitches as a fan could ask for. Despite a troubling start for the bottom half of the order, the Yankees have managed plenty of runs to win games […]
While it was the pitching staff that carried the team through the first week of games, the offense began to break out scoring 23 runs in their three-game set against the Marlins. The unit is still far from firing on all cylinders, Aaron Judge yet to truly ignite his season. Instead, they’ve had to rely […]
Oral Hildebrand’s baseball story feels almost too perfect for its era. Disney could easily turn it into a coming-of-age summer classic. Born in Indianapolis in 1907, his journey to the Yankees did not begin under bright lights. It started in the kind of Midwestern setting that shaped so many ballplayers of his generation, where imagination […]
I don’t know if I can go so far as to say that any night is a good one when there is no Yankees game. But Monday tested that thesis. Two AL East rivals, Toronto and Boston, lost. Detroit went down to defeat in Minnesota. After a first-inning solo shot from Cal Raleigh, Seattle never […]
The Yankees took care of business through the season’s first two weeks, winning each of their three series. While the team has been solid offensively, its starting rotation has led the way, posting a 1.81 ERA that leads all of baseball by a wide margin. In their second season playing in West Sacramento, the Athletics […]
For the first time this year, all four Yankees full-season affiliates were in action this past week, as Somerset, Hudson Valley, and kicked off their seasons on Friday night while Scranton put in a full week of work. Some bad weather led to several postponements around the system, but we got to see a great […]
The Yankees had an excellent first week and a half of the season, winning three series in a row en route to a 7-2 start. Their pitching was fantastic, their offense was carried by a stellar top-half of the order, and even their two losses came in games in which they led late and only […]
The Athletic | Chris Kirschner: Over the weekend, the Yankees faced the Marlins, and Miami have been doing something you might not have realized. Starting towards the end of last season, the Marlins have begun calling pitches in the dugout via the coaching staff and relaying them to the catcher and the pitcher. Don’t expect […]
The first home series of the year is in the books, and the Yankees have continued to excel in the early going. New York owns the best record in the American League, tied for the best in baseball, and while it’s quite early to be scoreboard watching it is notable to point out that they’ve […]
During my tenure at Pinstripe Alley—hell, during my entire time as a baseball fan—I’ve never been shy about delving into the team’s history and exploring the lives of its long roll call of players, both incredible and regrettable. We provide plenty of other coverage on the current-day activities of the teams, so I like having […]
Baseball is such a peculiar sport. The Chicago White Sox just swept the Toronto Blue Jays, and that’s indicative of exactly diddly squat about those two teams. What we know for a fact is that no matter the campaign the Blue Jays will have had at the end of the year, it’ll be possible to […]
As we here at Pinstripe Alley continue to do our daily feature highlighting a Yankee birthday of the day, we’re probably going to come upon situations where someone we write about happens to have been in the news recently. In today’s case, it was for a sad reason. Today’s birthday is Ken Clay, who sadly […]
There was no sweep to be found for the Yankees on Sunday; just lots of rain and stranded runners, plus a bad eighth from the bullpen that doomed them. The Marlins salvaged the series finale, so the Yankees must content themselves on this offday with a 7-2 record to start the year that still has […]
Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders: W, 16-5 at Rochester Red Wings LF Jasson Domínguez 2-6, 2 RBI, 2 K2B Oswaldo Cabrera 2-5, 1 HR, 1 RBI, 3 R, 1 BBCF Spencer Jones 1-5, 1 HR, 4 RBI, 2 R, 3 K — fifth inning grand slam made the lead nice and comfortableRF Yanquiel Fernández 2-6, 1 3B, […]
The Yankees have gotten off to a 7-2 start, the best in the American League, and there’s obviously a lot going well to support that strong record. However, a perfect team the Yankees have not been, and the flaws have been notable especially in their two losses: the bottom of their lineup hasn’t given them […]
MLB | Bryan Hoch: Who said Giancarlo Stanton was just a stationary slugger? In Saturday’s 9-7 comeback win against the Marlins, Stanton showed that he has more tools in his bag besides clobbering homers. After drawing a leadoff walk in the seventh inning, Stanton took advantage of the Marlins’ lax defense and stole his first […]
And on the third start did his ERA rise. Yes, Max Fried finally allowed a man to score, indeed early in Sunday’s rain-delayed series finale with the Marlins. The game started three and a half hours after the scheduled first pitch time, and maybe that delay took a little off Fried’s game. His control wasn’t […]
It’s Sunday once more, and you know what that means — it’s time for our weekly social media roundup! When we last met, the Yankees had gotten off to a strong start, sweeping the San Francisco Giants while allowing just one run in three games. Since then, the vibes have continued to be great, for […]
The Yankees are off to a sterling 7-1 start to the 2026 season and have already guaranteed themselves a third consecutive series victory. After sweeping the Giants and taking two out of three from the Mariners in Seattle, they’ve won the first two games of their first homestand of the campaign, beating the Marlins on […]
The Yankees won the longest nine-inning game of the young season last night, a three-hour, 49-minute slugfest that put them up two games to none in this weekend series against the Marlins. Should fatigue be setting in, the club has the right starter on the mound to go for the sweep, with Max Fried toeing […]
The Yankees’ road to the postseason is clear. They either get a full, healthy, good season from Aaron Judge, in which case they should skate in, or they don’t, in which case things get a lot darker. It isn’t just local radio hosts saying that the Yankees are relying heavily on Judge; in his writeup […]
The early years of the Yankees’ franchise famously weren’t great until they acquired a certain Babe Ruth. There were some good seasons here and there, occasional pennant chases, and a few superb individual seasons. They just never got to the World Series or brought home a title until Ruth began donning the pinstripes in the […]
It took the Yankees two tries, but they managed to come back from losing positions to beat the Marlins, 9-7, putting them on the cusp of their second sweep in the first three series. After pitching carried them through their first six wins, it was encouraging to see the “never say quit” attitude displayed by […]
Yes, it’s true that you can’t win a division in April. In the season’s first week and a bit, though, the Yankees have done their very best. Writing ahead of Saturday evening’s (ultimately successful) showdown with the Marlins, New York was a sterling 6-1, the best record in baseball behind a staff that’s been very […]
Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders: W, 4-3 at Rochester Red Wings — the report is that Luis Gil will start today for Scranton and then return to the Yankees’ rotation once the fifth starter’s spot comes up Friday LF Jasson Domínguez 1-3, 2B, BB, K — double off a leftySS Oswaldo Cabrera 0-42B Max Schuemann 1-3, BB, […]
