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 […]
New York Yankees vs. San Diego Padres: Series Preview
While it started in infuriating fashion, the Yankees did end up beginning their west coast road trip with a series victory over the Angels. Sealing that victory took another annoying win in the finale on Wednesday, but a win’s a win. Now, the Yankees will head a little further south down the California coast. Starting […]

Today on Pinstripe Alley – 9/4/26
New York was inactive on Thursday as they traveled down from Anaheim to San Diego, and they were rewarded with a half-game gained in the standings after Tampa Bay got shutout by Texas. There’s now just a three-game gap between the Yankees and Rays for first place in the AL East and that coveted first-round […]
Yankees news: George Lombard Jr. could return against Padres
New York Post | Greg Joyce: George Lombard Jr. exited a game against the Red Sox last Saturday with a knee injury, and a fan base held its collective breath. Well, Lombard appears to have escaped serious injury, and now it sounds like he could return to the lineup as early as today. “I don’t […]
Meet Yostin Peña, the man of the hour in the Yankees’ system
The Yankees have plenty of talent in their minor league affiliates, so much so that young outfielder Yostin Peña, arguably the hottest hitter in the entire organization, isn’t yet ranked in MLB Pipeline’s top 30 prospects. Peña, signed last December after issues regarding his age documentation surfaced and scuttled his deal with the St. Louis […]
Back from injury, RailRiders reliever MacGregor making up for lost time
Travis MacGregor came within one pitch of an immaculate inning in the top of the first Aug. 23 at PNC Field in northeastern Pennsylvania against the Charlotte Knights, Triple-A affiliate of the Chicago White Sox. Forced to make a spot start for the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders, the 28-year-old right-hander struck out Rikuu Nishida on three pitches […]
Clarke Schmidt is getting ready to give Yankees’ bullpen a boost
The Yankees can use all the relief pitching help they can get these days. Due to injuries, it seems like they are always improvising to fill the unit with reliable arms, signing or claiming guys such as Justin Topa (already DFA’d), Michael Fulmer, and John Schreiber in the last week or so. They need some […]
Yankees Birthday of the Day: Eric Plunk
Trivia nights are a fun activity at local bars, breweries, and restaurants. The best part of trivia is confidently knowing the answer once it is asked. If you ever find yourself faced with the question, “Who is the only Major League Baseball player to be traded for the same Hall of Famer twice in their […]
Yankees Rivalry Roundup: Mets take two of three from the Rays
The Mets did their crosstown rivals a huge solid taking two out of three from the Rays, meaning the Yankees closed the gap to 3.5 games with their extra-innings win over the Angels. Cam Schlittler authored another dominant start and Austin Wells supplied the game winner to ensure the team enters the off-day on a […]
The Yankees’ top defensive plays of August
Another month of Yankees baseball is in the books, and though their situation in the American League East has changed little of late, there was plenty of good baseball to take in. With each passing game comes more moments to remember and appreciate, including those made by Yankee defenders. August was no different, as we […]

Who will join the Yankees’ Circle of Trust?
Of all the Yankees moves (or non-moves) this summer, their decision not to add pitching at the trade deadline probably caused the most consternation. The team’s pitching staff paced the league in the first half, sure, but most fans looked at the club’s bullpen, and at the long list of names on the IL, and […]
Yankees news: Cole opines on Angels sale
New York Daily News | Gary Phillips: Gerrit Cole grew up an Angels fan, so it’s only natural that he would have something to say about the franchise’s recent sale to Kroenke Sports & Entertainment. However, the veteran approached the issue from a business standpoint rather than an emotional one, noting that the club’s ultimate […]
Yankees secure series in extras thanks to clutch Wells, dominant Schlittler
How good has Austin Wells been of late? Initially starting this game on the bench, Wells joined the action in the eighth with a pinch-hit single to prime his bat for the true decisive blow — the go-ahead two-out, two-run single in the tenth to salvage a win from a day when it looked like […]
New York Yankees @ Los Angeles Angels: Cam Schlittler vs. Reid Detmers
The Yankees rebounded from their ugly loss in the opener to level the series against the Angels with a 7-3 victory. Spencer Jones and Jazz Chisholm Jr. continued to power the offense, their bats heating up at just the right time. New York has just the man they want on the mound to go for […]

MLB End-of-August Check-In: NL East
The National League East has been a two-team race for most of the season, and with August now behind us, the same largely rings true. The last time the Braves were not first in odds to win the division, according to FanGraphs, was April 8th. There was minimal movement during the month of August, and […]
