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 […]

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 […]
New York Yankees @ Minnesota Twins: Max Fried vs. Bailey Ober
The Yankees are heading to the playoffs. In a season of uncertainty (particularly around injuries), that much is certain after last night’s series-opening comeback victory officially punched their ticket for the ninth time in the last 10 seasons. Everything beyond that, though, is still unknown. While their playoff spot (and likely the top wild card […]

Yankees Birthday of the Day: Slow Joe Doyle
Before he was known as Slow Joe, Judd Bruce Doyle was a right-handed pitcher growing up in the middle of Kansas. Like most of the time, his love of baseball was not born in an organized league, but in the school lot and in local games in his community featuring players of all ages. Judd […]
Yankees Rivalry Roundup: Blue Jays loss leads to Yanks’ playoff clinch
The Yankees were the only member of the top trio of American League teams playing on Monday, with both the Rays and Red Sox off inadvance of series against the A’s and Rangers, respectively. The AL West-leading [read: .500] Astros were also sidelined. So yeah, if the 2026 Yankees are the gold standard, then you […]
Yankees At-Bat(s) of the Week: Anthony Volpe (9/10)
I’m sure Anthony Volpe wanted to make a statement in his first game back from his demotion to Triple-A on August 4th, but I bet even he couldn’t have dreamt of the impact he would author. In his first MLB action in over a month, Volpe arrived in the Bronx sporting new swing mechanics and […]
The Yankees have found a way in 2026
The Yankees will officially be playing baseball in October after last night’s loss by Toronto, shortly followed by New York’s own win allowing for a more raucous celebration rather than a somber one. It has not come easily for them this year, as they’ve weathered more than their fair share of blows to key players […]
Yankees prospects: Week 25 minor league recap
We’ve reached the final stretch, folks. One week from today, we could be completely done with minor league baseball. Hudson Valley concluded a week ago, Somerset concluded on Sunday, Tampa will conclude on Wednesday at the latest, and Scranton will need a huge week to see their season go past this coming Sunday. As we […]
Today on Pinstripe Alley – 9/15/26
It wasn’t looking pretty for seven innings, but the Yankees finally erupted in the eighth to put away the Twins and secure the series opener. With the Blue Jays losing earlier in the night, the Yanks officially clinched a playoff spot and the celebration was on once their game was over. With the Rays and […]
Yankees news: Cam Schlittler for AL MVP?
MLB.com | Bryan Hoch: After tossing six scoreless frames on Sunday against the Mets, Cam Schlittler’s ERA went down to a stunning 1.95. He has now found some separation from Dylan Cease in the AL Cy Young Award race, but he’s been so good that there’s been chatter about him having a shot at the […]
Yankees clinch playoff berth, beat Twins
Coming into Monday night, the Yankees were one win away from officially clinching a playoff berth. While that’s obviously not the end goal of their season, getting into the postseason is the first step. They’re now there. Officially, the clinching came prior to the Yankees’ game ending, as the Blue Jays losing to the Tigers […]
New York Yankees @ Minnesota Twins: Will Warren vs. Dean Kremer
