New York Yankees vs. Arizona Diamondbacks: Series Preview
The Yankees squandered a chance to sweep the Twins Wednesday, dropping a 13-inning gut punch that diminished their chances of catching up to the Rays in the AL East. They’ll head to Phoenix this weekend for a three-game set against the Diamondbacks, who’ve dropped consecutive series and are hanging by a thread in the NL […]
Yankees prospects: Domínguez homers on back-to-back days
Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders: L, 7-5 vs. Jacksonville Jumbo Shrimp — Scranton’s efforts to secure a second-half International League title have flagged in the last week LF Jarred Kelenic 0-5, KRF Jasson Domínguez 4-5, 2 2B, HR, 2 RBI, SB — the Martian doing everything he can do end the Triple-A season on a high noteC […]
Today on Pinstripe Alley – 9/18/26
In theory, taking two of three in a road series to open the week should qualify as a success, but in dropping the series finale in Minnesota, the Yankees lost ground in the AL East race, and they wake up today in Arizona five back of the Tampa Bay Rays. It’s a sobering set of […]
Yankees news: Carlos Lagrange hits 102 in return
MLB.com | Clark Fahrenthold: Carlos Lagrange made a triumphant return to the mound Wednesday, striking out two in a scoreless inning with Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre. Most encouragingly, the fireballer’s heater topped out at 102.1 mph and he threw four pitches in triple digits. The Yankees’ number-two pitching prospect had been on the shelf since the end […]
Yankees Sequence of the Week: Max Fried (9/15)
It wouldn’t have been a proper Yankees-Twins series in Minnesota without a game that devolved into extra-innings madness. The Yankees failed to cash in multiple bases loaded opportunities and so missed a chance to sweep, falling farther behind the Rays in the standings. Nonetheless, the Bombers took care of business in the first two games […]
Professional athletes are faster than you think
Giancarlo Stanton’s less-than-stellar speed is widely known throughout the baseball community. During the Yankees’ pennant run two years ago, Bob Costas went viral in the baseball community for bringing it up at every possible opportunity as the Bombers took on the Kansas City Royals, noting that “it’s not his fault” because repeated lower body injuries […]
Yankees Birthday of the Day: Al Gettel
Allen Gettel was born a ways south of the Bronx, down in Norfolk, Virginia. Growing up on the family farm, few could have predicted the journey his life would take. From pitching in Yankee Stadium to acting on the big screen, Gettel became his own type of renaissance man. Allen Jones GettelBorn: September 17, 1917 […]
Yankees Rivalry Roundup: Rays win to gain game in AL East
Wednesday ended up producing one of the more frustrating Yankees’ games of the season. Having rallied to tie the game after being down to their last out, the Yankees took leads in the 10th and 11th innings, and had the bases loaded and nobody out in the 12, but couldn’t put up a crooked number […]
Missed opportunities may ultimately doom Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders in second-half race
Things are going right down to the wire for the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders in the race for the International League second-half title. Losing the final two games of their series last week in Rochester put the RailRiders two behind the first-place Red Wings, Triple-A affiliate of the Washington Nationals, entering the final week of the regular […]
Yankees prospects: Tampa loses Florida State League championship in walk-off
Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders: L, 6-9 vs. Jacksonville Jumbo Shrimp — at two games behind league-leading Indianapolis with four to play and Rochester also ahead, the RailRiders’ season is almost officially over (doesn’t help that they lost Oswaldo Cabrera to DFA limbo; alas) CF Jarred Kelenic 1-4, HR, BB, 2 RBI, 2 K — game-tying two-run […]
Who will win the other two American League divisions?
Look, the Yankees are probably cooked in the AL East at this point. They had their opportunities, but the Rays have opened up a 4.5-game AL East lead with 10 games left for the Bombers, and they would need to sweep the four-game set coming up next week—one that features a doubleheader Tuesday—to even have […]
Yankees news: Aaron Judge dealing with leg stiffness, expects to be back soon
Yahoo Sports: As you likely know by now, Aaron Judge exited yesterday’s game early when Heliot Ramos pinch-hit for him in the sixth. The Yankees announced it midgame as “lower leg tightness.” It’s some relief I suppose that Judge didn’t re-aggravate the rib fracture that kept him out for over three months, and Judge himself […]
Yankees lose 13-inning slog after early exit from Aaron Judge
“Nobody wants to win anymore.” That was the only slightly hyperbolic thought that entered my mind as the Yankees and Twins engaged in an utter slog, the first act of which took the form of a normal Yankee loss. The Bombers trailed Minnesota 2-0 entering the ninth inning, before a heroic two-run double from Anthony […]
Aaron Judge exits with lower right leg tightness
Yankees fans braced for the worst as Heliot Ramos stepped in to pinch-hit for Aaron Judge in the sixth inning. The captain reportedly exited the series finale in Minnesota due to lower right leg tightness, according to Meredith Marakovits during the YES Network broadcast. This game marks Judge’s seventh appearance in the lineup since recovering […]
New York Yankees @ Minnesota Twins: Carlos Rodón vs. Zebby Matthews
It’s been a nice start to the week in the Yankees’ home-away-from-home. On Monday night, they clinched a postseason berth with a 7-3 win against the Twins. On Tuesday evening, they fielded the proverbial “hangover lineup” of sorts and still cruised to an 8-1 victory behind a strong start from Max Fried and plenty of […]
Six Yankees prospects heading to 2026 Arizona Fall League
All eyes are on the Yankees as they make their 61st postseason berth with the division still in sight, but it’s also a great time to see prospects shine from the Yankees’ farm system. The Arizona Fall League will get underway in the next few weeks, and the Salt River Rafters will have six Yankees […]
Yankees activate Clarke Schmidt, designate Oswaldo Cabrera for assignment
The Yankees reinstated Clarke Schmidt from the 60-day injured list ahead of today’s series finale in Minnesota. The team also optioned right-handed reliever Bradley Hanner to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre, and designated Oswaldo Cabrera for assignment. It’s the end of a long road back for Schmidt, who hasn’t pitched on a major league mound since July 2025 […]
Striking another match, starting anew
I was lucky enough to be at The Greg Bird Game. 2017 ALDS Game 3 — a potential final game of the season for the Yankees, who of course dropped the first two of the series to Cleveland. We were sitting in the first row of the third deck, somewhere outside the right field foul […]
Yankees Birthday of the Day: Tim Raines
Hall of Fame outfielder Tim Raines was one of the faces of Canadian baseball in the 1980s—an adroit hitter and fast-twitch baserunner whose 808 career steals ranks fifth all time. By the mid-90s, he had won a batting title, accumulated 2,295 hits, reached 50 steals in eight seasons, and been named an All-Star seven times […]
Yankees Rivalry Roundup: Rays, Guardians walk it off
History was in jeopardy for a bit when the Twins came into the Bronx earlier in the season and won a series against the Yankees, but the timeline course-corrected as the team has traveled up to Minnesota and won the first two games of the rematch. The Bombers’ perpetual punching bag have fallen out of […]
The first crack at the Yankees’ playoff roster
Ok, so you clinched a postseason berth. Now what? The Yankees will be in October for the ninth time in the last 10 years, punching their ticket on Monday night in Minnesota. There’s still a very outside shot the team wins the AL East — FanGraphs gives them a 12 percent chance at time of […]
Yankees prospects: Tampa forces pivotal Game 3 in FSL championship
Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders: W, 6-5 vs. Jacksonville Jumbo Shrimp — Scranton got just four hits, but made the most of ‘em LF Jarred Kelenic 0-5, KRF Jasson Domínguez 0-2, 2 BB, K, SB, throwing errorC J.C. Escarra 1-3, 2B, BB2B Marco Luciano 0-2, 2 BB, SB, throwing and fielding errorsDH Yanquiel Fernández 0-3, BB, KSS […]
Is the Yankees offense back?
As the Yankee offense wilted throughout the summer, Aaron Boone was asked repeatedly about what he would do to juice the lineup, and about when the club’s bats would turn things around. The team was pretty insistent that the offense would pull through, in spite of night after night of woeful performance, and that the […]
Yankees news: Postseason berth celebrated, but “Job’s not finished”
New York Daily News | Gary Phillips: Put down the torches and pitchforks, people. The fan reaction was overwhelmingly negative to the Yankees’ champagne celebrations of clinching a postseason berth with a win over the Twins on Monday (they had technically already clinched with Toronto losing earlier). However, Aaron Judge provided a new and valuable […]
Outfielders shine in another strong offensive game in Minnesota
The Yankees own the Twins. This is not news; this is a basic fact of life and something most baseball fans are aware of. Since 2002, the Yankees have a ridiculous 130-48 record against the Twins since 2002, a .730 winning percentage. That’s a 118-win pace, which means that the Yankees against the Twins for […]
