Yankees Birthday of the Day: Gerrit Cole
I have long thought the the acquisition of a superstar player is among the most exciting experiences a fan can have. In a single move, teams can change, and a franchise’s trajectory can shift significantly, perhaps for years t0 come. Today’s entry in our daily birthday series dives in on one of the more exciting […]
On missing Aaron Judge
There are people from high school, from undergrad, from my first attempt at a career, from grad school, from a personal life that frankly can often be dysfunctional (and my fault), that I used to see every day. Classes together, drinks together, groggy mornings after together. Many of those people I’ve not spoken to in […]
Yankees Rivalry Roundup: Red Sox gain ground on quiet Labor Day
The Yankees were one of a handful of teams that didn’t play on Labor Day, but not many top American League contenders were in action. The Rays, White Sox, Astros, and Rangers all joined the Yanks in taking a breather on the offday. At least Aaron Judge is officially back! So call that a notable […]
New York Yankees vs. Colorado Rockies: Series Preview
Three cheers, Yankees fans: Aaron Judge is at last coming off the injured list! The slugging superstar returns to the fold just in time for the stretch run, and not a moment too soon. The Bombers have been struggling to close the distance on the Rays in the AL East race with time running out, […]
Yankees prospects: RailRiders leave bases juiced, drop opener to Rochester

What can we expect from Aaron Judge’s first game back?
The Yankees announced the biggest news of their season on Monday, activating Aaron Judge from the IL ahead of today’s series at home against the Colorado Rockies. The Captain’s return has been deeply anticipated ever since he was placed on the IL back at the start of June, as the offense largely disappeared once he […]
Yankees news: ALL RISE! Judge returns to the lineup today
MLB.com | Bryan Hoch: Yesterday afternoon, the Yankees received a massive boost in their chances at winning the American League East, as superstar right fielder Aaron Judge took live batting practice on the field for the first time since suffering a stress fracture in his rib that has left him on the shelf since May […]
Yankees activate Aaron Judge after three-month layoff
Our long tri-state area wait is over: Aaron Judge is back. After missing over three months with a right rib fracture, the Yankee captain will return to face the Colorado Rockies tomorrow night. The YES Network teased Judge’s return earlier today on Twitter/X: And the Yankees made his return official tonight: That we’d see two […]
Yankees Birthday of the Day: Suzyn Waldman
In January of 1999, on the heels of a historic 114-win regular season and a second World Series title in three years, the Yankees were on top of the baseball world. After a wilderness period that included a multi-year ban from baseball, the team’s owner, George Steinbrenner, was surely feeling vindicated. But there was still […]
Yankees Rivalry Roundup: Guardians walk off (again!); Rangers beat Tampa
It really feels like this was a weekend of missed opportunities for the Yankees. They easily could have left San Diego with a sweep, or at least having taken two of three from the Padres. Instead, they head home with only Saturday’s win to show for their weekend. And in the process, they let Boston […]

Today on Pinstripe Alley – 9/7/26
If the Yankees fall just short in their quest to rally in the AL East, they may just look back at this series in San Diego as where they missed their opportunity. They had the lead in extras on Friday, having managed to damage Mason Miller, but lost in devastating fashion. They rebounded strongly on […]
Yankees news: Judge to face live pitching on Monday
New York Daily News | Gary Phillips: Yankees captain Aaron Judge will take a huge step towards a return to play on Monday, as he is scheduled to face live pitching for the first time since suffering his stress fracture. There’s still no word on who will be throwing to Judge, though. To this point, […]
Yankees fans are just fine with Aaron Judge skipping a rehab assignment
Welcome to SB Nation Reacts, a survey of fans across Major League Baseball. Throughout the year we ask questions of the most plugged-in Yankees fans and fans across the country. As we celebrate Labor Day Weekend, the final big milestone of the regular season, Yankees fans have focused on just one question: when will Aaron […]
Gerrit Cole allows three Padres homers in a row to begin game, Yankees lose series
Appropriately for a series with two struggling lineups and strong pitching staffs, the Yankees and Padres battled to the margins in Sunday afternoon’s rubber game. The contest could hardly have gone off to a worse start for the Yanks, as Gerrit Cole surrendered home runs to each of the first three batters he faced. The […]
New York Yankees @ San Diego Padres: Gerrit Cole vs. Michael King
I don’t know about you, but when I saw the pitching matchup that was scheduled for Sunday’s series finale between the Yankees and Padres, I couldn’t help but smile. Not only will Gerrit Cole be starting on the hill for the Bombers, but he’ll be facing a former teammate, mentee, and close friend in Michael […]
Yankees place Trent Grisham on IL with hamstring strain, recall Jasson Domínguez
The Yankees lost in walk-off fashion to San Diego on Friday night, but they might not have played extras had it not been for a misplay that allowed the Padres to score their only run of the initial nine innings. With two outs in the second, Xander Bogaerts got under a pitch from Max Fried […]
Yankees Social Media Spotlight: The Wild Wild West
It’s Sunday once more, and you know what that means — it’s time for our weekly social media roundup! The Yankees have spent the last seven days in the West Coast, hanging in Anaheim as Arte Moreno sold the Los Angeles Angels, then heading on down to San Diego after an offday to take on […]
Yankees’ Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders face huge series in Rochester
It should be a very interesting final two weeks to the International League season. Entering Triple-A play on Sunday, nine teams are within 4.5 games of first place in the second-half IL standings. At the top of those standings are the Rochester Red Wings, Triple-A affiliate of the Washington Nationals, with a 37-25 record. One […]
Yankees Birthday of the Day: Clint Frazier
After years of mediocre play, the New York Yankees finally recognized that their window of contention had closed in July 2016, becoming sellers at the Trade Deadline first the first time since before I was born. With Andrew Miller, Aroldis Chapman, Carlos Beltrán, Iván Nova, and more headed elsewhere, the team brought in a veritable […]
Yankees Rivalry Roundup: Rays win in extras after blowing late lead
After losing on Friday night with yet another substandard offensive showing, the Yankees looked better on Saturday. A four-run second inning that featured big hits from Spencer Jones and Cody Bellinger propelled the Yankees to a fairly comfortable win, as Carlos Rodón was good enough in his five innings. With the Yankees picking up the […]

Today on Pinstripe Alley – 9/6/26
For as much of a bummer as it was in the moment on Friday to see a 10th-inning Yankees lead vanish on a Padres walk-off homer (especially given the inability to hit Walker Buehler), I was never particularly concerned about the Yanks having any spill-over effect. That’s just how the game goes sometimes, especially the […]
Yankees news: Aaron Judge continues to get closer to return
The Athletic | Chris Kirschner ($): It’s been a long season, most of which the Yankees have spent without their Captain and the undisputed greatest hitter on the planet. But that could change soon. Friday in San Diego, he took batting practice for the first time. Saturday on the FOX broadcast, Ken Rosenthal said there […]
Early offense, great relief pitching gives Yankees win over Padres
It’s kind of funny that once Manny Machado’s 25th homer of the season landed in the seats in the fourth inning, we could have just fast-forwarded to the end of the game. That big fly made the score 5-1, and that’s where this game ended. While the Yankees missed a few chances to add to […]
