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 […]
New York Yankees @ San Diego Padres: Carlos Rodón vs. Robbie Ray
Friday night was a tough pill for the Yankees to swallow, losing to the Padres in extra innings after managing to take the lead against arguably the game’s most dominant reliever. With the Rays marching onward atop the AL East, knotting up this series is crucial, and the team will need to quickly move on […]
The best errors in Yankees’ history
Last Sunday, there was quite a hubbub surrounding a catch/no catch call in the Yankees-Red Sox game. Ceddanne Rafaela came very close to making a catch on a Jazz Chisholm Jr. fly ball that then would’ve led to a double play. However, the call on the field was that he trapped it, and that ruling […]
Checking in on the Yankees’ August additions, one month later
The New York Yankees didn’t really make too much noise before the 2026 trade deadline. They added a slugging first baseman in Luis García Jr., an outfielder in Heliot Ramos, and not much else. They failed to bring in significant additions to the rotation and bullpen, which was ‘addressed’ with cheap free-agent signing Michael Fulmer […]
In praise of the high number
I’m a personal believer in wearing the lowest possible number as a player. No infielder should have a number greater than 25, and 25 should only be worn by a first baseman. Numbers in the 30s and 40s are for pitchers, and your outfielders fill out the rest. That is the Way Baseball Numbers Should […]
Yankees Birthday of the Day: Al Orth
There are several forgotten heroes from Yankees’ baseball prior to when the franchise started to win championships. Not that they didn’t have good years as a team in that time, but the pre-Babe Ruth years tend to blend together in a lot of fans’ minds. One of those forgotten heroes was Al Orth, whose 1906 […]
Yankees Rivalry Roundup: Rays, Red Sox both gain ground; Guardians sweep doubleheader
The Yankees lost a tough one on Friday night, as they failed to score more than a Ben Rice solo shot against old nemesis Walker Buehler, and while Max Fried, Will Warren, and David Bednar admirably went toe-to-toe with a fierce Padres bullpen, it wasn’t enough. A 2-1 lead in the 10th vanished on one […]
The Yankees Reliever Confidence Index: September Edition
As the Yankees enter the season’s final month, a bullpen that’s been a strength throughout the year is running on fumes. Injuries to Fernando Cruz and Kervin Castro have further strained an already thin unit, forcing the Yankees to get creative in adding some veteran talent from outside their organization for the stretch run. As […]
Yankees prospects: Yostin Pena scorches it again
Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders: W, 9-2 vs. Lehigh Valley IronPigs CF Jarred Kelenic 1-5, HR, 2 RBI, K2B Anthony Volpe 2-3, HR, 2 RBI, K, SB, HBP — seems to be OK after suffering a forearm contusion this weekLF Jasson Domínguez 3-4, BB, SBC J.C.

Today on Pinstripe Alley – 9/5/26
The Yankees played their second extra-innings thriller in as many games, and it looked like they might pull it out yet again. They scratched across a run in the tenth against Padres super closer Mason Miller, and they went to Paul Blackburn to close out the game, only to see Luis Campusano end the game […]
Yankees news: Spencer Jones’ homecoming
New York Post | Greg Joyce: ($) This weekend’s series in San Diego is a big one for Spencer Jones, and not only because he seeks to shore up his roster spot with Aaron Judge’s anticipated return on the horizon. Jones, a native of nearby Encinas, has had the Yankees’ trip to Petco Park circled […]
From heaven to hell in the blink of an eye, Yankees suffer walk-off loss
Scoring one in extras means holding serve, and that never rang truer than in tonight’s 3-2 loss to the Padres. The Yankees got one in the 10th only to allow a pair in the bottom of the inning thanks to a Luis Campusano homer off Paul Blackburn to secure the walk-off win for the Friars. […]
New York Yankees @ San Diego Padres: Max Fried vs. Walker Buehler
All that Walker Buehler has done since the 2021 season has been a far cry from the best version of himself—dazzling as one of the sport’s most dominant starters in his early years with the Dodgers. Yet, it’s been in that period that Buehler, against the Yankees, has written his most important chapters. While the […]
Yankees Mailbag: Roster odds and ends ahead of October
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. qmerkel asks: Does the injury to George Lombard Jr. make him eligible for rookie of the year next season? If not […]
Yankees announce 2027 spring training schedule
The reasons to be pessimistic about the schedule we’re about to discuss playing out as intended are plain to see, due to the owners already planning on locking out the players when the collective bargaining agreement expires on December 1st. But taking the harder path of optimism, let’s hope it will all be OK for […]
Spencer Jones, Trent Grisham, and a complicated center field debate
A pet peeve of mine about the way the Yankees construct a roster is when they hand a job to a top prospect without making him earn it. That is, when the team ignores a position of weakness and relies on a hotshot young prospect seizing the job with relatively little competition. A recent example […]
Yankees Sequence of the Week: Cam Schlittler (9/2)
The Yankees and Angels treated us to a true pitchers’ duel Wednesday night. Reid Detmers held the Yankees to a run on six hits and no walks with eight strikeouts in seven innings while Cam Schlittler went a step better with eight innings of one-run ball on two hits, no walks, and nine strikeouts. While […]
Yankees Birthday of the Day: Doyle Alexander
Longevity in sports can be a double-edged sword. On one side, the longer something lasts, the more opportunities there are for positive memories, greatness, or the achievement of goals. The other side of the longevity sword allows for more failures and burnt bridges. For Doyle Alexander, his 19 seasons across the majors resulted in both. […]
Yankees Rivalry Roundup: Rays get shut out, Rutschman returns with a bang
With a mostly successful series against the Angels behind them, the Yankees had the benefit of a day off on Thursday, before heading down the coast to San Diego. As the American League playoff picture remains clustered, New York was able to make up some free ground in the division, while several other playoff hopefuls […]
