Yankees news: Fried takes next step with live batting practice
MLB.com | Bill Ladson: The Yankees’ rotation took a hit the other day with Carlos Rodón hitting the IL, but they got some good news yesterday. Max Fried, on the IL since the middle of May with a bone bruise, is ready to start facing live batters. He threw a bullpen session on Friday, and […]
Four Yankees are headed to the All-Star Game
The Yankees may be leaking oil as the club approached the All-Star break but the club will be well-represented at the Midsummer Classic with a trio of position players and the presumptive favorite for the AL Cy Young Award playing for the Junior Circuit this summer. The fans voted injured slugger Aaron Judge into the […]
Twins jump all over Yankees rookie Brendan Beck in July 4th fiasco
One of the things that wears on you in stretches like this is the recaps actually start to annoy you. Look, I get it, I’m a silly little baseball blogger, I’m not an ER nurse working a double shift or a teacher paying for their own Elmer’s glue while kids can no longer sound out […]
New York Yankees vs. Minnesota Twins: Brendan Beck vs. Zebby Matthews
The fever breaks! The Yankees won a baseball game last night, something we haven’t been able to say in more than a week. They now have a golden opportunity to win two games in a row, which isn’t quite a winning streak by my definition but it’s almost a winning streak. Rookie Brendan Beck gets […]
The agony and ecstasy of the sports fan
I hope by the time you read this, the Yankees have snapped their seven-game losing streak. The Minnesota Twins are usually the salve for whatever ails this team, but New York has been dead, dull, and boring for the last week. That last indictment is the worst one for me: If you’re going to be […]
Yankees Birthday of the Day: John Sterling
Just as there are players who define eras for teams across major sports, there are also those who help make their moments even more unforgettable from high atop a stadium or arena. Names such as Gary Thorne, Vin Scully, Al Michaels, Bob Costas, Doc Emrick, and many others help add to these pieces of history […]
Yankees Rivalry Roundup: Rays win their ninth straight
The Yankees at long last broke their losing streak, ending it at seven games after putting up five runs for the first time since June 19th against the Reds. The Twins had their chances to match them, but New York’s pitching held them in check with only Fernando Cruz getting himself into some trouble walking […]
Yankees demote Spencer Jones, recall spot starter Brendan Beck
The Yankees’ roster carousel continues. Following last night’s game, they optioned outfielder Spencer Jones to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre. He had been up with the team for his second stint this year, but while he played better than his initial 4-for-24 showing, he was still running a 40-percent strikeout rate. Fellow lefty hitter Trent Grisham’s activation from […]
Yankees potential trade partner: Colorado Rockies
When it comes to the Colorado Rockies and the Trade Deadline, expect the unexpected. The perennial cellar-dwellers have at times conducted the types of fire sales familiar to teams without a shot at the ostseason, attempting to restock their prospect pool while punting on the current group. But they’ve also had deadlines where they hedged, […]
Yankees prospects: Henry Lalane dazzles again with 11 strikeouts in scoreless gem

Today on Pinstripe Alley – 7/4/26
Happy Fourth of July! Or: Happy 43rd anniversary of Dave Righetti no-hitting the Red Sox at the old Yankee Stadium during another disgustingly hot day! And thank you to Rags for always giving us memories of that highlight every time Independence Day comes around. There probably won’t be similar no-hit theatrics today, as the Yankees […]
Yankees news: Carlos Rodón avoids torn UCL, but hits IL with elbow inflammation
MLB Trade Rumors | Darragh McDonald: By now you’ve heard that the team took another IL hit yesterday, with lefty Carlos Rodón will spend some time away from the team with elbow inflammation. The worst-case was avoided because his UCL his still intact, but this remains tough news. Although it doesn’t seem at this time […]
Trent Grisham makes smashing return to Yankees lineup, losing streak ends
What a difference one offday makes. The Yankees got their heads handed to them by the Detroit Tigers in a three-game sweep, extending a losing streak which started in Boston to a full week of futility. But Thursday provided the Bombers a chance to finally hit that reset button. Additionally, some key returners from injury […]
Yankees, Twins in rain delay on Friday night
The Yankees are in the midst of trying to stop a seven-game losing streak with the Twins in town to begin a three-game series. Minnesota took a quick lead off Gerrit Cole thanks to a solo shot by Kody Clemens, but Yankees leadoff hitter Trent Grisham welcomed himself back from the IL by belting a […]
New York Yankees vs. Minnesota Twins: Gerrit Cole vs. Mike Paredes
Here’s a good test of whether or not the sky is falling on the New York Yankees: Can they beat the Twins in a series? If yes, they’ll probably be fine. That likely comes across as a bit mean-spirited, but you all know just how one-sided the head-to-head matchups have been. Since the turn of […]
Yankees place Carlos Rodón on IL with elbow injury, activate Trent Grisham and Ryan McMahon
Do you want the good news or the bad news first? The Yankees didn’t exactly ask us that, but they might as well have after reinstating Trent Grisham from the injured list, only to add that Carlos Rodón was hitting the shelf with left-elbow inflammation, a move retroactive to June 30th. We’re only halfway through […]
Yankees Mailbag: Aiming for a deadline makeover
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. torturedsoulv1 asks: How many relievers do you think the Yankees need? How many do you think they will actually trade for? […]
New York Yankees vs. Minnesota Twins: Series Preview
Just about everything that can go wrong lately for the Yankees has. Losing games? Well, obviously. Injuries? Unfortunately, yes. Offense going cold? You know it. Pitchers who’ve been having good years having unexpected off days? That too. Defensive lapses? Duh. However over the years, there’s always been one thing that can help the Yankees get […]
The Yankees’ top defensive plays of June
The month of June did not wrap up the way the Yankees had envisioned, dropping nearly a game per day to wrap up the calendar page. Despite some adversity, no month goes by without a highlight with the bat or some leather. June was no different, as multiple Yankees did their part in preventing runs […]
Yankees Sequence of the Week: Yovanny Cruz (6/30)
There’s really no way to sugarcoat the way the Yankees are playing right now. The offense is impotent, the starting pitching has been suspect, and the defense unacceptable. It’s all added up to a season-high seven-game losing streak and a plummeting from 3.5 games up in the standings to four games behind the Rays for […]
Yankees Birthday of the Day: Brian Cashman
George Steinbrenner was many things. Above all, he was passionate. Passionate about his Yankees and, according to those who knew him as a Thoroughbred owner, equally passionate about horse racing. So it was no surprise that when he met a horse breeder and future Harness Racing Hall of Famer named John Cashman, the two hit […]
Yankees fans have concerns about Gerrit Cole’s form
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. Sign up here to participate in the weekly emailed surveys. It has not been a good time to be a New York Yankee of late. […]
Yankees Triple-A manager Shelley Duncan thinks Carlos Lagrange injury is “nothing alarming”
Among a flurry of moves the New York Yankees made Thursday involving the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders, one jumped off the page: Right-handed pitcher Carlos Lagrange placed on the seven-day injured list. Lagrange is the Yankees’ No. 4-ranked prospect according to MLB Pipeline. He has spent the last month transitioning from the starting rotation to the bullpen […]
Yankees Rivalry Roundup: Rays extend winning streak to eight
After running their losing streak to seven games on Wednesday, the Yankees, and us frankly, got some respite on Thursday with an off day. Of course, something still ended up going wrong yesterday, but they at least didn’t put up another tally in the loss column. While the Yankees weren’t in action yesterday, other teams […]
Yankees prospects: ERC works quality start to secure win
