The Yankees got run out of Queens this weekend, dropping back-to-back contests to the Mets—the latter in particularly ignominious fashion—to lose the Subway Series and their third straight series overall. Adding to their woes is the Rays’ continued success, which leaves them three games back in the divisional road. Now seems like a less-than-ideal time […]
Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders: W, 5-3 vs. Syracuse Mets SS George Lombard Jr. 2-4, RBI — tied the game on an infield hit in the sixth, also hit a ball 106.3 mph in the first (though a groundout)DH Yanquiel Fernández 0-2, 2 BB, RBI, K — drew bases-loaded walk to put Scranton ahead2B Marco Luciano 1-4, […]
What an awful road trip. The Yankees got swept in Milwaukee, lost two of three to an underwhelming-as-hell Orioles team, and then did the same against the Mets, who entered as one of the worst teams in baseball. The 2-7 trip ended when David Bednar couldn’t hold a three-run lead in the ninth, evaporating the […]
MLB.com | Bryan Hoch: The Yankees limp home from what Aaron Boone called “a terrible road trip” — a 2-7 stretch that saw them fall from a half-game up on Tampa Bay to three games back of the surging Rays. The obvious takeaway was the alarming performance of the bullpen, capped off by closer David […]
During my tenure at Pinstripe Alley—hell, during my entire time as a baseball fan—I’ve never been shy about delving into the team’s history and exploring the lives of its long roll call of players, both incredible and regrettable. We provide plenty of other coverage on the current-day activities of the teams, so I like having […]
It’s Sunday once more, and you know what that means — it’s time for our weekly social media roundup! The last time we met for this series, we honored the legendary John Sterling, sharing more than 30 posts from throughout the league celebrating the life and legacy of the broadcaster. As such, in addition to looking […]
Elmer Rodríguez has faced some seriously fierce competition in his first three MLB starts, squaring off against Nathan Eovaldi, Jacob deGrom, and today Freddy Peralta. He authored the best start of his young MLB career, holding the Mets to a run while pitching into the fifth to match the way Peralta was repeatedly silencing each […]
The Yankees are not playing their best baseball at the moment, winning just two of their last eight games to fall several games back of first. That three of those losses have come against a pair of struggling teams in the Orioles and Mets makes the Bombers’ deficiencies appear all the most glaring — and […]
In August of 1969, Carlos May found himself laying in a hospital bed. Just weeks removed from appearing in his first All-Star Game, the burly outfielder was, by his own admission, feeling sorry for himself. That’s because he’d suffered a freak accident during a gunnery exercise while fulfilling his service obligations with the U.S. Marine […]
MOOSIC — At PNC Field, home of the Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders, the pitch speed on the scoreboard rounds up. So when Gerrit Cole threw a four-seam fastball 99.6 mph in the top of the third inning of his latest rehab start Saturday night against the Syracuse Mets, “100” popped up on the board. Later, in […]
The Yankees were unable to maintain their momentum from the series opener, dropping the middle game by a score of 6-3 to the Mets. Carlos Rodón by his own admission continued to suffer from a lack of command, and the offense couldn’t produce the timely hit when they needed it most. Theirs was a relatively […]

Saturday was a frustrating day for the Yankees, who dropped the middle game of their series with the Mets thanks to some sloppy play. Thankfully mistakes have been few and far between for New York this year, a nice departure from the previous few seasons where their poor fundamentals were taken advantage of, but it […]
CBS Sports: On Saturday, the Yankees made the decision to recall Elmer Rodríguez in light of putting Max Fried on the injured list. However, Rodríguez will also now be starting this afternoon’s game in place of Ryan Weathers. There’s no additional injury to Weathers to worry about, as he’s now penciled in to start Monday […]
If you look at just some parts of the box score of this game with the runs stat blocked out, you might think the Yankees had come away with a win. They outhit the Mets, and they were fairly close in a lot of other stats. The issue for them is that they made several […]
Friday night saw the Yankees and Mets renew the Subway Series for 2026, and it went pretty well for the Bronx half of the rivalry. Led by another good start from Cam Schlittler, the Yankees downed the Mets to take round one. However, it’s a new day, and the two teams will now face off […]
Unwilling, and rightfully so, to rush Gerrit Cole’s return date to a big-league mound, the Yankees will look to their Triple-A roster to help fill the absence of the recently injured Max Fried. With their ace hitting the shelf due to a left elbow bone bruise, the Yankees will bring up starter Elmer Rodríguez to […]
Height is a curious thing. Sure, all else being equal, it’s better to be taller if you’re a baseball player, but particularly for position players, this maxim ceases to apply after a certain point. More body mass means it’s harder to have precise control over your movement. Longer levers usually lead to more strikeouts. It’s […]
For all of the mythical greats that litter the history of Yankees Baseball, there is also a healthy list of characters, people who may not have been legends, but who nonetheless who have defined the franchise’s path over more than a century. Near the top of that illustrious list for the Bombers stands Billy Martin. […]
After dropping five of six, the Yankees got back on track yesterday with a strong showing against the Mets at Citi Field. Cam Schlittler outdueled Clay Holmes, Jazz Chisholm Jr. and Spencer Jones had timely hits, and Ben Rice’s solo shot off Craig Kimbrel was the icing on the cake in a 5-2 win. It […]
The Yankees’ bullpen has dealt with underperformance, bad luck, and a lack of clearly defined roles through mid-May. And yet, the unit ranks fifth in baseball in ERA. Aided by a starting rotation which has shouldered a lion’s share of the workload and overperformances by two little-heralded lefties, New York’s relievers have somehow managed to […]
Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders: L, 8-2 vs. Syracuse Mets SS George Lombard Jr. 0-3, BB, K, SB3B Oswaldo Cabrera 2-4, 2 RBI, SB — showing real signs of getting it togetherRF Yanquiel Fernández 1-3, BB, K2B Marco Luciano 0-4, KLF Jonathan Ornelas 0-4, 2 K1B Seth Brown 0-4, 2 KC Ali Sánchez 0-3, BB, KDH Payton Henry 0-3, […]
The Yankees have been up and down the last week or so, but perhaps just what they need to get rolling again is a date with their crosstown rivals. The Bombers got this Subway Series started off nicely last night, Cam Schlittler shoving (what else is new?) in a straightforward 5-2 victory. They’ll look to […]
MLB Trade Rumors | Steve Adams: Prior to yesterday’s game, the Yankees placed ace Max Fried on the 15-day injured list with a bone bruise in his left elbow. While, obviously, this isn’t great news, as Fried will not throw for a few weeks before being reevaluated, early indications seem to suggest that he has […]
Cam Schlittler is really good at pitching a baseball. The young Yankees standout yet again refused to blink as he continued his domination of the major leagues in his sophomore season. Facing former Yankees closer Clay Holmes to open the 2026 edition of the Subway Series, Schlittler again gave the Yankees a solid performance. That […]
