Yankees news: Aaron Judge out with rib stress fracture

Associated Press | Larry Fleisher: The Yankees maintained hope throughout the week that Aaron Judge’s rib injury wouldn’t be too serious, with the captain undergoing a long series of tests and imaging. That hope was dashed last night, as the team announced that Judge has been diagnosed with a stress fracture in his right rib […]

Aaron Judge diagnosed with stress fracture, to miss at least four to six weeks

The Yankees announced tonight that Aaron Judge has been diagnosed with a stress fracture in his right rib. Judge will be re-evaluated in four to six weeks after a period of rest and limited activity. It’s a crushing piece of news, though one that at least avoids the worst-case scenario. After days of testing, fears […]

Ryan McMahon comes through as Yankees salvage series finale

It’s very hard to go from relying on the consistent presence of a three-time MVP in your lineup every day to going cold turkey without him, but with Aaron Judge sidelined for the time being with some sort of rib issue, the Yankees’ offense has had to make do without him. They didn’t get the […]

New York Yankees vs. Cleveland Guardians: Carlos Rodón vs. Slade Cecconi

On paper, the Yankees had a real pitching advantage in this series, tossing Cam Schlittler and Gerrit Cole in the first two games of the series before drawing one of Cleveland’s worst performing starters on Thursday. But the thing about paper is that… It’s paper. The Guardians have put together two impressive offensive performances against […]

Yankees At-Bat of the Week: Paul Goldschmidt (5/29)

The Yankees recently returned home from a successful roadtrip during which they swept the Royals and took two out of three from the A’s. The offense awoke from its mid-May slumber, putting up 51 runs across the six games. One of the unlikely contributors at the heart of that scoring outburst was Paul Goldschmidt. Initially […]

A closer look at Ryan McMahon’s May

Ryan McMahon’s stat line still does not look impressive. Entering June, the Yankees infielder is still hitting just .207 on the season. However, if you dive a little deeper, McMahon appears to be adjusting his approach and has found more, albeit still limited, success doing so. The most obvious evidence of improvement shows up in […]

Yankees Birthday of the Day: Phil Linz

The game of baseball requires many player archetypes to compete for positions on major league (and professional) rosters. Sluggers, contact hitters, and defensive wizards all have their place within the game. But there’s another group of players (albeit a smaller genre) who are still around and have made their way onto World Series-winning rosters: the […]

Yankees Rivalry Roundup: Rays fall again to the Tigers

The Yankees took a disappointing loss on Wednesday, with Gerrit Cole allowing a trio of homers to the Guardians in the 5-4 defeat in the Bronx. Although the Bombers had their moments on offense, including bringing the deficit to one in the ninth, it was not enough to match Cleveland. Despite the loss, there was […]

The Yankees’ top defensive plays of May

The month of May has only added more intrigue when it comes to the Yankees. With two full pages of the calendar behind us, the Bombers are still fighting to reclaim first place, with the Rays playing some good baseball to wrap up the spring. Regardless of any team success or struggle, another month in […]

Yankees prospects: Carlos Lagrange shines in first bullpen outing

Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders: W, 6-3 (7) and L, 2-13 (7) at Syracuse Mets Game 1: 2B George Lombard Jr. 0-2, 1 R, 1 BB, 1 KCF Spencer Jones 1-4, 1 RBI, 1 R, 1 KSS Oswaldo Cabrera 0-3, 1 RBI, throwing errorDH Tyler Hardman 2-3, 1 HR, 1 RBI, 1 R1B Seth Brown 3-3, 1 […]

Today on Pinstripe Alley – 6/4/26

Apologies for the old school Today on PSA, but the editing night ran into morning rather quick this time around. The Yankees gave us a classic “just out of reach the whole time” type of game, giving up a run and then clawing it back just to give up another and stay barely behind. The […]

Yankees news: All-Star Game ballot released

MLB.com | Jason Foster: We’re six weeks out from the 2026 All-Star Game, taking place at Citizens Bank Park in Philadelphia. The official voting opened yesterday, and the Yankees feature a trio of strong candidates to start in Aaron Judge (if he’s healthy), Ben Rice, and Cody Bellinger. A desperately weak second base field may […]

Guardians homer thrice off Cole, hold off Bombers to take series

Tonight, the Yankees were a cat that couldn’t catch the mouse. To be fair, the mouse in question was capable of dealing mighty blows to the cat. The Guardians grabbed their well-earned series win in the Bronx by flexing their muscles, clubbing three home runs off Gerrit Cole and always finding the timely hit to […]

Command remains a work in progress for Carlos Lagrange

The Yankees’ bullpen, contrary to popular belief, hasn’t been a weakness so far. Well, statistically at least. The unit ranks tenth in MLB with a 3.59 ERA before Tuesday’s game, which is not bad. Of course, true contenders want to be much closer to the top of the league, and that hasn’t been the case […]

Breaking down George Lombard Jr.’s first month in Triple-A

A large part of the Yankees’ success through the first two months of the 2026 season has been based on their homegrown talent. The way that Ben Rice and Cam Schlittler have taken the next step from good supporting cast players to bona fide stars at their respective positions has greatly improved the team’s future […]

Yankees Birthday of the Day: José Molina

In our current data-driven era of baseball, pitch framing has emerged as the single most impactful facet of catcher defense. Stealing strikes by presenting borderline pitches in the zone is a skill that far outweighs blocking dirtballs or stopping the run game in terms of overall impact. It took a while for front offices to […]

May days were not kind to RailRiders

May was not a merry month for the Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders. Although they won the final two games of a six-game series last week against the Worcester Red Sox at home at PNC Field, the RailRiders finished May with a 12-15 record. In two series against the WooSox during the month, they went 4-7. They […]

What’s Eating Aaron Judge

We’re going to start this piece with a general disclaimer: Aaron Judge is still an excellent MLB hitter. He is also 261 plate appearances into his worst season since 2021, a “mere” five-and-a-half win campaign that saw him finish fourth for AL MVP. We can also all be honest that that is a significant drop […]

Yankees Rivalry Roundup: Rays blanked by Tigers

After getting Monday off on their way back from the west coast, the Yankees returned to action Tuesday night, opening a series against the Guardians. And, well…it could have gone better. For one, Aaron Judge was out of the lineup, as he apparently is dealing with a bone bruise, which flared up over the weekend […]

How concerned are you about Aaron Judge’s injury?

The Yankees lost an annoying game last night in a series opener in the Bronx against the Guardians, but that’s probably not what’s front-of-mind for most of their fans. For the first time all year, Aaron Judge was absent from the startng lineup, as manager Aaron Boone revealed that he’s been battling a bone bruise […]

Yankees news: Judge out with rib bruise, Schlittler off on velo

The Athletic | Brendan Kuty ($): The headline around Tuesday making shockwaves around the team was Aaron Judge’s health, as manager Aaron Boone left him out of the lineup and then told reporters that Judge was diagnosed with a bone bruise in his ribs. Judge initially felt the injury affecting his shoulder during his swing, […]
