The Yankees Rotation Depth Inventory: May
With Gerrit Cole and Carlos Rodón back in the Yankees’ rotation, a staff that began the year in flux (and excelled despite it) is beginning to settle in. Still, with Max Fried a ways off from returning, the odds that the team will need to dip into its depth at Triple-A, either for a spot […]
Unpacking David Bednar’s slow start
When the Yankees acquired David Bednar from the Pittsburgh Pirates at last season’s Trade Deadline, he almost immediately stabilized the back end of the bullpen. After his first disastrous appearance with the team against the Marlins in early August, he allowed just 4 runs in 23 innings, striking out 33 and walking only 9, as […]
Yankees Birthday of the Day: Bob Kuzava
Bob “Sarge” Kuzava was a left-handed pitcher who found success with the New York Yankees during a career in the majors that lasted a decade and saw him suit up for eight different teams. Kuzava, pronounced koo-ZAH-vuh, was born and raised in Wyandotte, Michigan, a town about 15 miles outside Detroit that now features a […]
Yankees Rivalry Roundup: O’s complete sweep of Rays with blowout win
Once upon a time, Kansas City was effectively the farm team of the Yankees despite being a fellow major league franchise. They were the Athletics back then, but flash forward to modern times and Kansas City felt like a home away from home as the Yankees demolished the Royals. After sweeping them to open up […]
Yankees Sequence of the Week: Gerrit Cole (5/22)
After 569 days that must have felt like an eternity to one of the most competitive players in the league, Gerrit Cole made his long-awaited return to an MLB mound. He may not have gotten the result for the team that he wanted, the bullpen giving up four runs after he departed. But he pitched […]
Today on Pinstripe Alley – 5/28/26
There’s nothing like the good feelings after a sweep. Gerrit Cole was even more impressive than in his first start post-Tommy John surgery and the game never felt particularly close. The Yankees really took it to the Royals this week in Kansas City, running up their personal winning streak against them to 14 since they […]
Yankees prospects: George Lombard Jr. hits first Triple-A homer
Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders: L, 1-8 vs. Worcester Red Sox SS George Lombard Jr. 1-2, HR, 2 BB, RBI — Took until his 24th game, but he led it off with his first homer at Triple-A on the first pitch! The 363-foot shot went off his bat at 103.1 mph. It was all downhill from there for […]
Yankees news: Giancarlo Stanton, Jasson Domínguez ready to take next steps in rehab
New York Post | Greg Joyce: The results from imaging taken on Giancarlo Stanton Tuesday showed enough progress to give him the green light to begin running again. Per Aaron Boone, he’s seeing “a lot of improvement” and, given the fact that he’s continued taking swings while on the IL, he might be able to return […]
Gerrit Cole dominates as Yankees sweep Royals
The Yankees kept it rolling over the Royals, making it 14 straight overall against Kansas City while sweeping the season series. Behind a vintage Gerrit Cole performance and a huge night from Ben Rice, the Yankees came away with a 7-0 victory over the Royals. If Tuesday night was about fireworks, Wednesday night was about […]
New York Yankees @ Kansas City Royals: Gerrit Cole vs. Noah Cameron
It’s alive! The Yankees’ offense finally erupted Tuesday night and the result was absolutely beautiful. New York launched six home runs, every starter recorded at least two hits (a first in franchise history), and the Yankees buried Kansas City early in a historic offensive explosion. The Bombers reached base 29 times on 24 hits and […]
Big series for RailRiders’ Fernández earns him weekly award
Yanquiel Fernández of the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders enjoyed quite a week in Allentown, Pa. During the team’s six-game series against the rival Lehigh Valley IronPigs, the outfielder had at least one hit in each game and batted .379 (11 for 29). Four of his hits were home runs. He had 12 RBIs, five runs and one stolen […]
Keeping things in perspective with Jazz Chisholm Jr.
Coming into the 2026 season, it felt like this was the year that Jazz Chisholm Jr. would leap into superstardom. After a tantalizing 2024 that saw him post 2.3 WAR with the Yankees in just 46 games, he posted a 30-30 season to go with a 126 wRC+ in 2025, solidifying his status as one […]
Yankees Birthday of the Day: Mark Connor
The most successful players in the world aren’t only successful because of their innate abilities. Sure, some of those who walk this planet can naturally throw a ball harder than others, but being able to throw a ball hard and honing the craft enough to make it to the major league level are two very […]
Yankees Rivalry Roundup: Basallo’s blast downs Rays
Even in the games they ended up winning, the Yankees haven’t had a ton of relaxed games recently, but that’s what they had Tuesday night against the Royals. Led by an Amed Rosario home run, the Yankees jumped out to a quick 4-0 lead in the first inning and kept the offense going from there. […]
I stare Cerberus in the face, and it sparks joy
I started writing this six hours before Cam Bump Day, the day once a week or so that’s circled on the calendar because Cam Schlittler is pitching today. He is right now the second-best pitcher in baseball by one tenth of a win according to FanGraphs, a distinction so miniscule that it really doesn’t apply, […]
Yankees prospects: Spencer Jones gets back to work in Scranton
Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders: L, 6-3 vs. Worcester Red Sox SS George Lombard Jr. 1-5, 2BCF Spencer Jones 1-2, HR, 2 RBI, 2 BB — right back to doing his thing at Triple-A, 12th on the year3B Oswaldo Cabrera 1-4, KRF Yanquiel Fernández 1-4, K1B Tyler Hardman 0-4, RBI, 3 KC Ali Sánchez 0-3, BB, 2 KDH […]
Which position are the Yankees most likely to target via trade?
For as much flak as Brian Cashman can catch for hugging prospects, the Yankees are perennially one of the most active buyers at the trade deadline. Last year was one the team’s most aggressive deadlines ever, shipping out almost 20 prospects and importing seven veteran players. In 2024, it was Jazz Chisohlm Jr. and Mark […]
Yankees news: What can Gerrit Cole be?
MLB.com | Bryan Hoch: Gerrit Cole will make his second start of the season tonight in Kansas City, coming off a season debut on Friday that went about as smooth as we could expect. While he didn’t get to throw quite as much as he would have liked, all signals are green that there should […]
Yankees offense explodes, makes history against Royals in six-homer shellacking
Tuesday marked the 1,200th game in the already historic career of Aaron Judge. He became the 33rd Yankee to reach that plateau in pinstripes and the player with the most home runs by game 1,200 in MLB history with 385, 58 ahead of Ralph Kiner. The captain and his teammates marked the occasion with aplomb, […]
New York Yankees @ Kansas City Royals: Cam Schlittler vs. Bailey Falter
On the heels of a brutal 4-10 skid that dropped them 5.5 games back of the Rays for first place in the AL East, the Yankees pulled consecutive victories out of a hat, winning both in the ninth. The latter win came yesterday against the Royals, with embattled shortstop Anthony Volpe lining a two-run single […]
The Weathers’ been just fine
The starting rotation has been the strength of the Yankees in the season’s first third, even as it’s dealt with its own share of chaos. Luis Gil didn’t last long in the starting five, Elmer Rodríguez has shown that he’s not quite ready for MLB, the team has had to manage the returns of Gerrit […]
Yankees At-Bat* of the Week: Trent Grisham (5/24)
While the Yankees offense has turned things around just enough to get back to winning ways on Sunday and Monday, there hasn’t been a lot to celebrate on that side of the ball. Entering play on Memorial Day, the Yankees had scored two or fewer runs in their previous four contests. That being said, hopefully […]
Yankees prospects: Week 9 minor league recap
It was another story-driven week on the farm. Prominent relievers earned promotions all around, while top prospects started getting going. A few prominent starters struggled, while others shone. And even better, for the first time all year, nobody had a losing week! Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders Record: 26-23, 3.5 GB in the International League East after […]
Yankees Birthday of the Day: Travis Lee
One of the cruelest stories sports has to offer is that of the player who seemed to have all the tools, seemed to be destined for superstardom—but their body or mind simply wouldn’t allow them. Ill-timed injuries and troubles with mental health have swallowed up the career of many a superstar over the years, and […]
Which struggling Yankee warrants the greatest concern?
A couple of days ago, we asked for your input on which struggling Yankee you all were most concerned about. There were a variety of options, as the team has clearly seen problems arise in both their lineup and their bullpen that have defined their struggles up to this point. With plenty of input in […]
